Ryuk looked at the couple.
"What?" he asked. He sounded a bit more annoyed than confused. "I can't be happy that the Trio of Death is back together?"
"Trio..." Light started with an amused look. He turned to the man next to him.
"Of Death?" M/N finished the thought, returning Light's gaze, as he raised a brow.
That was something else the Yagami missed seeing. Being able to raise a single eyebrow isn't something everyone can do naturally. He himself can't do it. The first time he saw M/N do it, he was surprised. Light remembers trying multiple times over the next week and continuously being laughed at by Ryuk. He was even more embarrassed when M/N caught him standing in the bathroom mirror attempting the brow raise. The way his boyfriend started dying of laughter was magical.
He'll never forget the curling in his own stomach. That was the first time Light had ever heard him laugh that hard. His giggle bounced off the walls and reminded Light of a child. The image of M/N holding his stomach, and struggling to breathe from laughter made Light's stomach curl.
"Hey," the shinigami's voice made the two look back at him. "I've been here so long I can't help but be attached to you two." He crossed his lanky arms.
"Aww how sweet," M/N teased the god of death.
"Yeah, whatever," if he could, he would have rolled his eyes as he spoke.
Light smiled, but it quickly fell.
Sensing the change in mood, the H/C haired male turned to the other human.
"As happy as I am about this," Light spoke. "We now have another problem. The moment you walk out of here alive, they're going to throw you in jail." He looked at his boyfriend. "We have to figure something out. I just realized how I feel about you, I'm not willing to let you be taken from me."
It was endearing, the way Light spoke. M/N was shocked by it in a way, but he felt as though he'd get used to it. He finally meant something good to him.
The Yagami turned to the shinigami. "Ryuk, you said that you can cut a person's ties with the Death Note whenever you want to right?"
"Yeah."
"And that when that happens the memories of the Death Note and anything having to do with it are wiped. But the person can get their memories back by touching the Death Note again."
Ryuk hummed in agreement.
"What are you thinking Light?" M/N asked.
"Ryuzaki and the others know that a person committing all of these murders, Kira, is able to control what people do before they die. What if, we wipe your memories and I bring up the control thing, showing them the paper you showed me and saying they put the choice on me to kill you or not, but we add to the paper and say that it only works when I put the check mark at the end." Light spewed out his thoughts as they came to him. "They probably wouldn't throw you jail. They'd keep you at the office in a cell there and try to get answers from you. They'd probably-" he paused. His jaw tightened as his fist balled up and caused his knuckles to go white. The thought of what he was thinking and about to say made him angry. "Torture you." He spoke with grit teeth.
Light then felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked to his side and found his boyfriend softy smiling at him.
"It's okay love," M/N said calmly. "There's nothing I can be put through that will be worse than what I've already been through."
The original Kira's body relaxed from the tension, but it was replaced with a queasy feeling in his stomach. His brain went through the things M/N has gone through: Cutting all over his arms and legs, being burnt, suffocation from attempting to kill himself by hanging, beaten up by his mother and in the hospital, electrocution from being tased by thugs, raped by thugs.
The last one made Light's blood boil. He remembered when it happened. After work he went to see M/N at the music studio he works at. He's part of a small group of people that he plays with; he's always the last one there cause he enjoys messing around on the keyboard and mallet instruments. When Light found him though, he was in the alley surrounded by laughing thugs.
The closer he got he noticed that they were actually gang banging the musician. His blood boiled even then as he ran up to them and began to beat the shit out of them. He told them off and helped M/N get dressed again. After taking their IDs, he took M/N home.
He got much joy out of writing their names in the Death Note, giving them a fitting punishment of them snapping their dicks like glow sticks and shoving a knife up their ass before dying of a heart attack.
Light put an end to the uncomfortable memory and put his hand on top of his boyfriend's.
"I know you have, and I know you're strong, but I don't like the thought of you in pain is all," Light admitted.
"Just to make things clear," Ryuk spoke up. "You'll still remember Light and him being Kira." M/N nodded in return.
"I'm ready when you are," the younger human said.
