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. ]

[There's a certain unmistakeable and unavoidable nostalgia in returning to university, and Light, though he's spent the last couple of days steeling himself against any sentimentality relating to this, isn't immune to both a sense that finally everything has returned to the way it should be, while stinging from all the ways it hasn't.

It's all in the past, and I've won. I'm going to reshape this world and make it a truly beautiful place. I never needed anything else.

So much has happened in the last year alone that the familiar university campus, filled with students whose concerns only extend as far as their next assignment deadline seem even less comprehensible than ever. In a way, it's all the same. The intrigued looks, the raised eyebrows as he sits in class, the questioning looks from upperclassmen and Light is determined not to give a single damn.

He begins walking towarrds the bench where he's agreed to meet his boyfriend after class is over, and despite living together now and seeing each other every day, actually seeing him there makes him realize just how much he was looking forward to this part of the day.

Light doesn't wave, but he ducks his head slightly to hide the beginnings of a smile as he approaches.]

Sorry for the wait.
