Returns

[inordertobelieve]

[ There is something strange about remaining after his class. For the last months, he's always headed straight home after class and he'd almost feel lazy remaining sitting on a bench know if he didn't know what and who he's waiting for.

He's known Light would finally come back for weeks now, but it's hard to believe him just walking down the path towards him again. The last time that has happened seems so long ago....

They're finally back on the right path completely. Teru has no reason to be nervous about this, but maybe 'nervous' is not the right word for it so much as 'excited'.

Against habit, he does not keep his head bowed as he sits and instead actively looks out for his boyfriend. ]

Ah...

[Stated like that, it sounds vulgar enough that Light briefly tenses up with embarrassment. There's nothing to be ashamed about, not really. Part of loving each other means showing it actively, letting it be known how much he enjoys being with Teru in every way and Teru showing him the same. But still ...

He falls silent, feeling at an awkward loss for words. There are a host of innuendos that would be appropriate here, any one of which would be fine as a joke, but he wants to say something sincere. Or at least something that isn't outright facetious.
For the moment, that doesn't come. Breathing out, he tips his head back slightly.]

Are you talking dirty to me? [He squeezes Teru's hand.] Go to sleep.

Dirty...?

[ The perplexed inquiry comes in a quiet voice even before Light can conclude with his order of immediate rest.

Yet, in hindsight, Teru has to admit Light has a point. It's unsettling. He squeezes Light's hand back, unwilling to address the possibility of dirty words. Dirty is the antithesis to his whole personality after all. ]

... goodnight, Light. I love you.

[Laughing softly, Light closes his eyes. Everything feels warm and soft in their own little world right now and though the rest of the world is anything but those sentiments, LIght hasn't wasted a single thought on other people in the past hour or so and isn't about to start doing it now.]

I might be able to get used to it.

[That's a strange thought though and if Teru could see his face clearly, there'd be a bit of a half smile on his lips at the absurdity. After another moment, Light decides to shift slightly and turns on his side to face Teru. Wrapping an arm over his boyfriend's hip. he echoes the sentiment.]

I love you, too.
