Something warm resting on his palm wakes him. His eyes flutter open, and he whimpers when he sees the sunlight streaming in through the curtains, about to hit his face next. L makes a mental note to inform Watari to replace the curtains with better quality ones.

"Sun, sun, go away. Nobody wants you anyway," he murmurs, remembering a childhood rhyme.

Unfortunately, the sun decides not to listen, slowly enveloping more and more of him in light. L turns around, abandoning the pillow he was spooning, and furrows deeper into the warmth behind him. Light is still asleep, so the insomniac is careful not to jingle the chains connecting them as he snuggles into the younger man's chest.

Just as the black-haired detective loses himself to his dreams again, something rare for him, one of Light's eyes peeks open, and he assesses the situation. His hand then reaches over to take the pillow L was cuddling and pulls it up to cover the back of the shorter man's head. Making sure it's not bothering L, Light holds it high enough to block the sunlight and then closes his eyes again.

L murmurs incomprehensibly and drools onto Light's silk pajamas, but a content smile graces his lips anyway.

Light finds he doesn't mind so much then.


Hope you enjoyed! This was inspired by a Tumblr fan-art post which I sadly cannot share on here. Anyway, if you did like this, make sure to leave some feedback. See you next time!
