Come and sing me down, give my conscience a pounding.
Who: Shikamaru and Light.
When: Evening, after this.
Where: Light's apartment.
Summary: Light has convinced Shikamaru to spend the night with him. It's not as romantic as it sounds.
Warnings: Mental dub-con.
[The fact is Shikamaru doesn't sleep. Hasn't slept, at least, in weeks. It's drugs that keep him alert, the same he'd be taking if this were a battlefield, but it's a lot easier to replenish his chakra than it is to get him properly rested. It's taking a toll on him.
The evidence of that is in this moment: he's standing in front of Light's door. He shouldn't be here. He knows that. But it's the same "shouldn't be here" as the night he was nose-deep in powder on Edgeworth's bathroom counter. Every option is a bad one. So which one does he take?
He knocks on the door.]
