She was standing under the roof of the small porch looking out into the parking lot. The skies were slowly fading away from the grey tint they once were and she took in a soft breath.

She pulled her golden hair behind her ear and closed her eyes then heard the door behind her open. She reopened her eyes and stared at the soft glow of the pavement.

Amane Misa glanced over at him as he stood still looking out at the parking lot as well. She pressed her black dress down and looked at him, staring almost. "Light?" she questioned, but he just held his hand up.

"Let's go Misa," he paused looking at her. "L will be waiting." Light said running his hand through his hair, absent mindedly making Misa's heart melt.

Together they walked to the car, Misa attempted to link her arm with his, but Light had refused her. She sighed sadly and wondered if he'd ever care about her more than just a tool. He pulled the door open for her and she got into the car waiting for him to get in on the drivers side. Misa looked at Light and he looked to her from the corner of his eye. "I'm not usually this way." Misa said and Light looked at her.

"Yeah." Light said beginning to drive. Misa looked out the window and wished she could stay in the passenger seat forever with Light by her side, even though he didn't care for her, the way she wished.

Misa was beginning to wonder if Light knew how hard it was for her to just sit there not saying a word, not touching him, nothing at all. She wished he would drive slow so they could run out of road. Light put his eyes on Misa and she caught his stare. "What's wrong?" Misa asked him and Light looked away shaking his head. "Oh Light." Misa sighed.

As they drove on Misa could already see their destination. The whole trip back had been quiet, even the dinner had been quiet, Misa didn't know what to say, Light always told her to be quiet or he would just ignore her. It was an actual date and now it was over, with not a single emotion shown from Light. Misa felt the car come to a stop and opened the door finding Light standing near the back waiting for her.

"Light, can I ask you something before we go in?" Misa asked him and Light looked to her and nodded his head one time. "Will you dance with me?" she asked and Light looked at her slightly confused.

"There's no music," he paused when Misa took his hand into hers, her big sparkling eyes staring at him. "Misa, don't do that." he said, but she didn't let go of his hand, nor did she look away. Her face looked so sad and, yet so beautiful to him. Light wasn't going to win this so he gently placed his hands on her waist and they slowly swayed back and forth in the parking lot.

After a few moments Misa thanked him and he nodded stiffly. They both walked for the front door, Misa placed her hand on the door knob and slowly twisted it pushing the door open. Light saw this as one final chance to make her happy. He reached for her hand and turned her around pulling her close. She stood there shaking slightly amazed and worried about what he was doing exactly. She didn't know why or how, but Light was gently lifting her gaze to his own and their lips gently met.

When they parted Misa's eyes slowly came open and Light's did as well. They both stared at each other, that kiss was, perfect, sweet, gentle, romantic. Misa couldn't even describe what she was feeling. Light's hands slipped away from her and he walked into the building while Misa lifted her fingertips to her lips. "It was flawless," she whispered and looked at Light's back as he walked on. "Fearless." she gasped in a low voice running inside behind Light.
