First Date… With Company!?!
"She's busy? What the heck kind of excuse is that? See, Light this is why you never date anyone older than you. All it will do is cause problems and what happens if she decides to break up with you?"
"Worse case scenario, if you ask me, is that she breaks up with him cuz' he wasn't good enough in bed."
"No way. Worse case scenario is that he finds out that she was cheating on him because he didn't have enough experience. What if she even brings the guy along to watch her break it off with him."
"Um, you guys, we aren't going out….hey." Light tried desperately to stop the conversation but, his friends wouldn't let it go that easily. The whole school was gossiping about the straight A student Light Yagami having a girlfriend. Although his friends were the only ones who knew that the person didn't go to the school and was older than he was. Light might have forgotten to mention a few things. Such as, that he didn't really have a girlfriend, he was using it as an excuse because he is helping out in the investigation on Kira and last and most problematic of them all was that he might, just a little, have a thing for L, who just so happened to be in charge of the investigation.
I think you might have forgotten one detail, a veryimportant one I might add…Oh! Light might have also forgotten to mention that L, aka Ryuuzaki, was male. Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a young, healthy teenage boy falling in love. It just so happens that the person is of the same gender. "Hey,…hey! Light, are you there? Didn't you say you had to be somewhere at four?" One of Lights' friends asked.
"Yeah." He answered, still lost in thought.
"It's three-fifty." Upon hearing the time Light snapped out of his thoughts.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Light yelled as he rushed to the door of the classroom.
"Tell your girlfriend we said hey!" Someone yelled after him but, Light was to far gone to hear.
Light walked into the room casually with a calm expression. In the inside though he was just the opposite. I am really late, what do I do if Ryuuzaki is mad at me? It wasn't even my fault though! Of course Light was really over thinking such things. Ryuuzaki was doing what he always does when he is by himself, eat sweets and watch the news on the TV in the hotel room or on his computer. "Sorry I am so late Ryuuzaki, my classes ran over time." L was sitting quietly, as always in his weird position, drawing on the coffee table in front of him. "…Ryuuzaki, what are you doing to that table?" Light asked. He was hoping that it wasn't a sharpie L was writing with or he at least had a reasonable explanation.
"Doing some math problems." L replied with out looking up from his work. Of course, it makes absolute sense to be doing math problems on a hotel coffee table… Light, not knowing what do, dropped his bag and proceeded over to the sofa. Why is it that whenever I come here, on my own time, he is busy with something or has something he needs to do? Light thought back to what his friends had been discussing. No way, L couldn't have a girlfriend…right? Besides why should it matter to me, I can easily get a girlfriend too! It's not like I even had hopes that we would get together. As Light thought about these things he grew into a state of depression like no other, you could practically cultivate mushrooms in the room with his aura so dark.
Suddenly, a shadow fell over Light, he hadn't even realized he had began to slouch. "Light-kun, are you all right?" a very concerned voice asked. Light snapped up at the unexpected question. It just so happens that L had been leaning forward over Light. So, when Light snapped his head up he hit L in the jaw. The detective fell backwards on the coffee table. L rubbed at the area where Light had hit. It was throbbing with pain. "I am sorry, Ryuuzaki, I didn't mean to hit you!" Light explained, panicked and pained he had hurt L. not knowing what to do, Light simply stood watching L rub his jaw. "It's okay, I know you didn't mean to Light."Light heard the words come out calmly but, L's expression told him that it had done some damage. L's eyes were a bit teary and Light, without thinking hugged him. "I'm sorry." Light whispered softly.
After an awkward silence they let go of each other, L had his head down making it impossible for Light to make out L's feelings. "Um, I'll go get some ice from the kitchen." Light swiftly walked away without turning, he was afraid that L would look up and see his reddened face.
