a/n: light is in a lot of this but mostly for the purpose of being ignored. #feminism
Kiyomi allows herself the slightest trace of a smile when she notices her inbox has one new ask.
Anonymous asked:of COURSE mariko and josuke are in love you stupid bitch dont watch the movies if youre gonna twist them to fit uour stupid fantasies god i hope you die
“What is it, Kiyomi?” Light asks, sitting up behind her to peer over her shoulder. “I didn’t know you had any social media other than Twitter.”
“Don’t worry, my Tumblr is anonymous,” Kiyomi says idly. She’s already planning out a reply. Mariko clearly does not deserve Josuke, for one thing; what does she do when he goes into battle for her? Just cheer on the sidelines! It’s frankly galling how many of Hideki Ryuga’s movies’ love interests are utterly useless.
Besides, Kiyomi’s not even sure they like each other. All their on-screen time together is spent kissing. Not a single extended conversation, no shared interests, no chemistry whatsoever — why are they even together in the first place?
“Kiyomi?”
“What?”
Light regards her with a teasing smile. She could swear some expression of — calculation? anxiety? — crosses his face first, but it’s gone in a blink. “Don’t you want to get back into bed?”
“Just a second,” Kiyomi says distractedly. She has to check another blog first.

“What are you doing, Misa?”
Misa whirls around. “Oh! Light! I didn’t see you come in.”
“I’m quiet,” Light says. He dumps a bag of groceries by the fridge, unquietly. “I got food.”
“Oh, Light, you’re the best!”
Light neatly dodges Misa’s attempted glomp. He’s so cute, Misa thinks. “Thanks. Just start on dinner soon, okay?”
“Okay!” Misa stretches. She’s done with Tumblr user monochrome-wonders anyway. That should put them off for a good long time before they come mess with her again.
Ugh. If Misa could just tell that user that she literally played the character, everything would be so much easier. But Light wants her to practice “cybersecurity” or whatever, so Misa’ll have to refrain from playing her trump card for now.
Light peers over at her phone. “Is that… Tumblr?”
“I keep telling you to follow me, don’t I?”
“Sure,” Light says. “What’s a ‘vague’?”
Misa brightens. “Sit down,” she says, shooting him fingerguns. “I’m going to learn you a thing.”
The expression of utter despair that comes over Light’s face is, honestly, really satisfying.
Kiyomi is absolutely alone in life by her own design. Other people are, generally, weaknesses. Light is an exception because he’s — Light, and he’s Kira, but otherwise Kiyomi has a hundred acquaintances and zero friends.
She doesn’t regret this decision, exactly, but it does make explaining the situation to Light somewhat more difficult.
“I didn’t even know you liked movies,” he says, with that easy grin Kiyomi has begun to realize only appears when he is completely baffled.
“I don’t,” Kiyomi explains. “I just watched a few of the one Amane-san stars in.”
Light’s mouth forms a little O before he closes it again. “And… why?”
Kiyomi frowns. Is it not obvious? “Research,” she says. “For the NYE show.”
“I see,” Light says. “It’s cool that you put that much effort into each of the performers.”
Kiyomi would ordinarily be pleased by the compliment. But Light is mistaken. “No, it’s just for her.”
“…Oh.” Light stares at her briefly. “Do you… like them?”
“Absolutely not,” Kiyomi says.

“Fucking Mono,” Misa mutters, and stabs her salad with slightly more vengeance than usual.
Light isn’t home today, again. Probably with Kiyomi. That does lift Misa’s spirits a little — she likes imagining ice-cold Kiyomi the way she probably acts around Light: her cheeks maybe slightly flushed with wine, leaning forward with puppy-dog adoration shining in her eyes, a few locks coming loose from her perfect hairstyle…
She doesn’t like imagining Light facing Kiyomi, though. Misa should be there instead. With Light. Obviously.
“Beh,” Misa says aloud to an empty apartment.
She can’t afford to get distracted, though! She looks back down at her phone and rereads the ask (asks) (seriously, who sends another ask just to add a period?).
This has to be Mono. (Tumblr user monochrome-dreams, who Misa has nicknamed in her head because she is not saying that entire pretentious username in her head every time, and also because Mono’s blog is entirely free of any personal information.) No one else is as dedicated to proving Misa wrong about Samurai of Love. It’s not even one of the more popular movies Misa’s acted in; she doesn’t know why Mono likes talking about it so much if they don’t fucking like the movie.
Misa types back you are just mad because uou are angry and hits Answer.
Would Light dox Mono for her? Probably he could, but he’s so busy these days… Oh well. Misa will just have to keep sending anonymous asks. It’s hard work, being a Tumblr keyboard warrior.
“What does ‘you are just mad because you are angry’ even mean?”
“I don’t know, Kiyomi,” Light says. “It sounds like a logical tautology to me.”
“Exactly!” Kiyomi slams the phone down. “She’s so… belligerent!”
“I could ask Misa for you,” Light offers.
“What?” Kiyomi’s scowl briefly disappears as she looks up. “Why would she know?”
“Just a hunch.”
“I see,” Kiyomi says, not seeing. She looks back down at her phone.
At the very least, Kuromisa has given her something else to work with.

Well, Kiyomi’s going to have to introduce someone to the idea of Death of the Author. Would it be more devastating to write out an entire putdown or just link the Wikipedia article?
“Kiyomi?”
“Yes?”
Light holds out the memo pad, which reads We have to discuss our plan; T has some questions. “Are you alright? You look troubled.”
Kiyomi writes: What are they? “I’m fine,” she says aloud. “It’s just that sometimes the anonymous hate bothers me.”
“Because you’re Kira’s spokeswoman?” Light’s gaze softens. “That’s understandable.” He writes: Wants to know if he can use an email scheduler so you can write your names more regularly
Oh, it’s definitely Mikami. Not that Kiyomi hadn’t already suspected. Does one/hour work for him? she writes as she says, “Yes. I love the job, it’s just… difficult sometimes.”
She does. She really does love it. Almost as much as she loves arguing with Kuromisa.
“Have you thought more about what I was saying the other day?” Light asks. He scrawls a check mark on the memo pad.
“Y-yes,” Kiyomi says. Quitting the job. Sometimes it makes her almost laugh out loud, being asked that question by Kira himself, but she’s always been good at navigating two different conversational threads. “I think… I might be ready. Soon.”
“Soon,” Light agrees.
He pushes the memo pad back at her. Also can you stop looking at Tumblr while we’re on mic, Matsuda wants to make an account now
Compromise: I’ll only do it in the bedroom from now on
