Summary: Light is Sayu's overprotective brother, or more like a mother hen. He never approves of any of her boyfriends, until their childhood friend asks her out. She is immediately over-joyed and the relationship is perfect, however Light still has his eyes trained on her. Sick of Light babying her, she plays the matchmaker card and finds someone else to be under Light's eyes. The constant babying and worrying and love of Light turns to his acquaintance (and match) L.
Disclaimer: I don't own L or Light, or a death note. I don't own the show. I don't own anything! (And the computer I am writing on is the family one...) ((Well I do own Sayu's boyfriend, but thats it.))
This is AU, and is set in America. Teen for now, will warn you when it becomes M.
Sayu watched, her lip quivering, as her big brother sat there, still doing his homework. He sighed and looked up into her watery eyes.
"Who is it?" His words almost brought her to tears. He was not completely rejecting her boyfriend yet! Light would always say that she was too young to have a boyfriend, and automatically not give his consent. There were very few times he actually bothered to go as far as ask their name. He knew that she would date the guy either way, so he was brutally honest about it, and never gave his consent when he felt it wasn't deserved by the guy.
"Trent..." Sayu said, barely above a whisper.
Light's eyes widened at the name, recognizing it immediately."Our Trent? The Trent that we've been friends with since childhood?"
Sayu nodded vigorously,afraid that her voice might betray her. She was hoping since Light knew him, he would recognize that Trent would be a good match for her. But she was also afraid that because Light knew Trent, that he would not want her to date his best friend.
"Thats great, Sayu! You have finally found someone who will truly make you happy." Sayu flug herself into Light's arms and started to cry from joy. Finally, someone who Light approved of! Maybe he would finally stop keeping her under his watchful eye as well. That's too much, she chided herself and decided to be content with the progress already made.
Light's POV
I was completely happy for her, after all she finally found someone who would make her happy. Sure, the guy was my best friend, but that also meant that I knew him and I knew where he lived if he ever hurt her. After finally getting Sayuall cleaned up and face fresh, she called Trent to give him the good news. I could hear the screaming from both sides of the conversation. I smirked. They were made for each other! Too bad I didn't see that earlier, otherwise I could have set them up and saved Sayu a heartbreak or two.
I went back to my homework, hoping to get it done before Sayu came to have me help her with her own. Sure enough as soon as I got to the last problem, I heard a knock at my door.
"Come in." Sayu peeked her head through the door, just enough so I could see the textbookand worksheets in her hand. I would kill Trent if he took away our homework time together. She snuck inside and sat gingerly on the chair beside me, set out especially for her.
"I was wondering if you could help me with my homework."
"Of course." It was the same thing every afternoon when she had homework, it would upset me a bit if it were to change. I started explaining problem after problem. She would nod and say "mmh" every once in a while to show that she got the part which I had just explained.
"Light, you're so smart, I wish I could be like you." She said all the sudden.
"What do you mean? It only because I study a lot. You go out with friends and watch movies, I do none of that. If anything, being smart is my only redeeming feature."
She only nodded at this and went back to doing her homework beside me while I finished up a while, she spoke up again."Lots of people like you, though. You could easily have a social life if you wanted to, no offense. You keep getting loveconfessions from a bunch of girls, and I'm sure that anyone you wanted to date would be more than happy to date you. You haven't had a girlfriend your entire life, not that you've shown interest in dating." Sayu went on and on, and I had no idea what on earth she was talking about. Of course I could have a social life, but I didn't need or want one.
"Where are you going with this?" I asked politely but got the message that discussing my social life (or lack of) with my little sister was not on my to-do list.
"I was just wondering if you ever got lonely." She looked at me with eyes full of concern. "I don't want you to be all alone, Trent and I are going out. You can't baby me forever either, you've got to let me grow up. How about you find someone nice you like.. and-" She was interrupted by me before she could finish her sentence.
"I am always going to be babying you, and I don't need to date anyone! All the girls at our school are boring anyways. End of discussion." I closed my textbook and stormed out of my room. Why had I reacted that way? I don't know, maybe because I was going to be lonely, because I wanted to baby Sayu for the rest of her life and have her never grow up, and maybe because, just maybe, I wanted to be with someone too.
A/N
How did you like it? This is the first chapter of my first multi-chapter fic, in my whole life! Since this is the first chapter, it is a lot shorter than the rest of them are going to be, and I will be posting in frequency (if school permits.) I know that you didn't get to meet L yet (and yes his name is going to be L) and that you prbebly want him NOW, but I need to have him introduced just a bit later. I know that Light is bit (cough lot) OOC, but its a necessity to the story. (also writing a fanfic about a person who kills people being all lovey dovey is kinda hard for a newbie.) Yeah, I am putting things to blame on all my problems... Although I take full responsibility of Trent (OC) He is the only thing I own, along with the hotchocolate I am drinking while writing this. Yum! Please Review, Favorite and Follow! (Give me your opinions, I would LOVE them.) Bye Bye!
Edit: This is now being Beta'd by JuliannaCherries, we are editing each chapter. Grammar will be good (that bad grammar I got) on the chapters she edits. (we are catching up with the all the chapters before they come out all nice and Beta'd.)
