GOD'S FAVOURITE 
For all of his scheming and spying when it came to preparing for this, with all the plans he had concocted in his head for this moment to play out exactly as he wanted, Light Yagami could certainly accept the fact that he hadn't predicted the outcome, nobody to blame for his current predicament but himself, maybe he had gotten a tad too cocky but reeling in his victory was far too glorious and it was bound to bubble to the surface eventually, perhaps he had hoped for this to run more smoothly but it wasn't as if he still didn't hold all the cards in this situation.
But he wasn't foolish enough to ignore that he hadn't been the only one involved in this little dance up until now, in fact, he found it endearing in a way, their little game of cat and mouse offering him a refreshing change from making L jump through hoops. At first, he was going to take it slow when it came to Y/N, a duller but safer tactic to breakdown those pesky barriers she put around herself, more or less he was relying on his silver tongue that had already fooled the world around him, slowly but surely ensuring that she fell into his web too. 
Because he was Light Yagami, not Kira. Light would offer a listening ear if she wanted to talk it off with her problems or worries, Light would worm his way swiftly into her mind like an annoying bug that refused to fly away, Light was kind, popular, and warm. Yet the Light Yagami he had tried so hard to approach her with had been a failure in more than one way, one could argue his persona only drove Y/N away since the start, purely because she saw him as a bore.
The second plan had been to simply intimidate her into seeing things his way, the right way. if she wouldn't adore Light Yagami then he would make sure she stayed on her knees to worship Kira.
 A few loose promises that he would make her his equal, the looming threat that he could simply kill her with a few strokes of his pen and their relationship would finally begin to sail its course and unlike his previous idea, this option seemed to be the more useful strategy in light of things...If only Y/N found herself scared of him that is. Because in all the reactions he'd witnessed, Naomi Misora's sickening shock, Ray Penbers pathetic fear, and even more recently Misa Amane's apparent infatuation with the idea, from every emotion or feeling he'd suspect to gain from the new knowledge, she simply stood there.
Not that he could exactly blame her, even he had found himself being taken aback by a towering Shinigami when first making Ryuk's acquaintance. 
"What are you?" Y/N rasped in astonishment, looking over the pale bent figure in curiosity who cocked his head to the side. "I'm guessing it has something to with this." She held up the book. "What an interesting turn of things."
"This kid is funny, she's even calmer than you were" He giggled, the devilish smile growing even wider on his face. "I'm the Shinigami Ryuk, that's my notebook or it was until Light found it in his hands so for now I simply...Watch over things."
"Oh; so you're like a glorified pet? Can you do anything special?" She questioned, while it was alarming, fear had hardly crept up on her, if anything she wanted to ask the being even more, her eyes trailing over his appearance. "I thought a God Of Death would be scarier looking. You're just...Creepy."
"I can send you to an entirety of limbo if you take ownership of the Death Note, would that make you feel more uneasy?" He retorted, head cracking to the side. Ironic enough it was difficult to tell of Ryuk's feelings, with the same smile stuck on his face she wondered how Light of all people could manage. "Are all humans this strange or is it just you two?"
"Well, there's no need to be rude." Y/N sighed as she returned her attention to Light, whose gaze had fully settled on the book in her hand. Watching and waiting with his hand practically twitching in anticipation for it to be returned.
