HE IS GOD BY ALL COUNTS, BUT WHAT GOD DOESN'T HAVE A LOVER? It started out as a small, mutual obsession with being 'Kira' — however with opposite motives. Light sought to purify the world, kill those deemed unworthy with the help of a death note, but you? You sought to kill. It's a dangerous dance the two of you do, but by all counts — the media believes you two are flirting with one another . . . through murder? Hannibal meets Death Note. You're both killers with death notes and rivaling agendas, but the media thinks you're . . . flirting? Trigger warnings: death, gore, possible non/dubcon."THIS JUST IN: A BODY WAS DISCOVERED IN THE SHAPE OF A HEART. THE WORK OF KIRA OR OF KIRA'S LOVER?"
A groan leaves Light's lips as he sees the headline of the news. The fluorescent light of the screen casts eerie shadows across his face, highlighting the tense set of his jaw. They always were broadcasting some disasterous and blasphemous message, acting as if he could ever love a criminal. The remote feels cool in his hand as he grips it tightly, knuckles whitening with the pressure.
Hell, this other killer — whoever he may be — is nothing but a lowly criminal. Light is not a criminal, never could be, he's above such regulations. He kills those who need to be punished, who need to atone for their sins. The scent of fresh paper from his Death Note wafts up from the desk beside him. What does this other killer do? Cancel out all of his hard work.
Light could write one killer's name in his Death Note and the next day the killer's family is killed. He could make a bank robber commit suicide, then whose next to commit suicide? The bank robber's guards, therapist, literally anyone close to them. The pen tap-taps rhythmically against the table as he thinks, a nervous habit he's developed. It's so infuriating. However...
However, it did add some flare to Light's day. To his actions, it was like a little game. The thrill courses through his veins at the thought, a dangerous excitement he can't deny. He kills, they kill. They kill, he punishes. A game of cat and mouse, a delightful one at that. While Light could sit here and deny it all he wants, part of him likes this. The thrill, the adrenaline. Of course, once Light figures out who 'kira's lover' is... they're a dead man. But for the time being, he can allow himself to revel in the sinful acts, can't he?
He's quick to bring pen to paper, scribbling down his next victim. A killer, one that was related to the family his 'lover' had slaughtered by means of murder-suicide. If they're going to taunt him, he can taunt back.
