A Picnic among the cherry blossoms
Another stuffy day at the office, L is asked by lights father to take Light out for some air, L decides to drag Light out to the nearest park for a picnic prepared by Watari.
It was warm summer and L lay on a picnic blanket near headquarters dangling a cherry from the top of the most recent cake he had consumed. L's brow furrowed when he looked over at the cake box and he sighed when he realized there would never be enough cake for him, let alone to share with Light. Light sat close to L, but bolt upright and he looked as if he had a lot on his mind.
"What's the matter Light-kun", L asked, biting into another cherry topped cake. "You're not saying much. Is it the cake issue, I'll have Watari buy some more." He beckoned Watari and whispered in his ear, Watari nodded and started to walk off. L yelled, make sure it has plenty of white chocolate in it, its Lights favorite"
Light sighed and lay uncomfortably on the blanket.
"whats up Light?" L repeated, his eyes narrowed.
"just tired", Light replied in an extremely bored voice.
"am I boring you? I sent for more cake, that'll cheer you up" L smiled and threw his cake wrapper into the growing pile. "is something wrong, I'll help if I can. After all, I am your friend" Light blushed furiously at this and turned the other way.
" I just…" Light started, "oh its nothing". He sighed and buried his face in the blanket. L frowned and reached out for Lights back to touch his shoulder, Light flinched and anger flashed through his eyes. "whats the matter with you L, I told you not to touch me, not after what happened."
L looked down sadly and he said "was it so wrong, it felt good didn't it." Light blushed even more furiously and sighed again. "I guess not, it did, but that's not the issue L."
"then what is, is it to do with my suspecting you of being Kira, because I equally want you to help me if you aren't. Its nothing personal" L replied, his thumb rubbing the corner of his mouth.
"nothing personal!" Light exploded, rose to his feet and dragged L to his as well, he had forgotten about the damn handcuffs. "I am not Kira but you keep insisting on these bloody things" he rattled the handcuffs, " and you still suspect me, what can I do to convince you I'm not Kira!". In his anger he had moved gradually closer to L, and by this final comment he was close enough to his face to feel his hot breath on his neck. L rose to his usual standing height and pondered, "its simple if you help me catch Kira, that's when you are beyond suspicion." He stood parallel to Lights heaving slim body, "and anyway I don't think your mad about that". With this comment, whilst Light was still regaining his easily lost composure, L leaned in and kissed Light. There breathing synchronized as Light pulled him in closer and moved his hands in Ls messy hair, stroking it as they finally broke the tension that had been evident ever since that night where they had made a mistake, no, finally allowed themselves to submit to their feelings.
L pulled away, breathing heavily said "gotcha!", he smiled and as he pondered once more if this was a wise decision reached for more cake. Light laughed, both at the situation and L's possibly crippling addiction to cakes and motioned for them both to sit. Once Watari returned Light grabbed a cake and meeting L's eyes for just a moment noting his slight smirk, took a bite.
