It really wasn't L's fault. For a start no one could've seen this coming. And the worlds greatest detective had just wanted to be right about something. He was depressed and bored. Anyone who knew the detective personally knew when that mood set in he wasn't completely rational. The current situation might be slightly better than Paris...at least the room wasn't ruined.
To be fair if L hadn't decided to investigate none of this would have happened. And even by Wagamy House standards investigating the sexuality of the man you've chained yourself to was not typical. Or clever.
Was L obsessing over Light Yagami? Possibly, though only because he was (and still is the prime suspect) in the Kira case. Getting into the minds of criminals was what made L so good at what he does. All of this was merely an extension of that. Nothing more.
Unfortunately Light-kun thought differently. L supposed the staring might have been misunderstood. He was assessing his suspect. Admittedly the actual charge wasn't an offense, at least not in L's eyes. But he only intended to collect enough evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Light Yagami was a flaming homosexual.
The problem? Light-kun appeared to have mistaken L's staring for an expression of interest. And he started flirting. Relentlessly. And the detective had no idea at the time whether Light was being serious or trying to embarrass him. Light had shown a great degree of skill at manipulation. So it was possible Light-kun was trying to get in L's head as the detective tried to do the same.
If that had been the case L would've been a lot happier. The thing was L was right, Light was gay. And apparently found L attractive. The worlds three greatest detectives could tolerate his affections to some extent. He could ignore the honeyed words, the light touches and all of Light-kun's other attempts at seduction. Bar one. It's a little difficult to ignore it when someone manhandles you into their lap and refuses to let go of you.
If he could L would've kicked Light in the face by now. Unfortunately Light had trapped his feet and in terms of upper body strength L was playing disadvantage. It was awkward and unproductive. It didn't help the Kira case, L didn't have a full range of movement and Light's lap was uncomfortably warm. He was glad when Light-kun gave up and let him go back to work. Moving back into his trademark position L tried not to think about Light's semi-sarcastic, parting comment:
"Until next time...Ryuuzaki."
(A/N) So, this is the second fanfiction I've ever published. Please be gentle with me, I'm well aware it's probably horrible but a friend somehow managed to convince me. This story and another one I'm playing with are on Archive Of Our Own as well under the username of Styx_the_Sociopath. If you're interested you can stop by there and read Chapter Two... That is provided you actually like Chapter One of course. Feel free to give me any feedback or criticism (please, please, please be constructive) and I'll do my best to take it on board.
