He guessed he just does not understand him. Yes, it is correct that they are very alike in quite a few ways, however, look over their appearance, their social life, and many of their interest, they could be from different galaxies.
And of course, he put thought into this as he actually took a step outside in midnight breeze. Quick winds lashed at his inky masses of hair as he took a took in the first few setting stars of the night. His much too large owl eyes locked onto the brightest one. What of course made this star so bright was the fact it was closest compared to all the others. The one closest in his reach.
The brighter the better the star. However.. L is not so sure all things are better brighter, or for a matter of fact, easier.
Being a detective.
It almost sickens him that's all he has ever thought of. His life dedication doesn't allow him to do much else but rather all it takes to do good for the world. Almost spasmodically has he went through files and doses of caffeine and sugar.
L still won't let go of his annoyance to Light Yagami. Despite the fact Yagami is quite talented and a very agile man, he is arrogant and extremely pompous. He seems to have a high opinion on himself, regarding the fact he spends too much time on his appearance.
That's one thing he doesn't understand about the people around or at his age these times. They look for clear skin, glittery eyes, plump lips and fit supermodel bodies almost everywhere. L views the same exact things on the cover's of which Light's girlfriend Misa Amane appears. She seems to be the essence of beauty many insecure woman crave to have themselves.
It's unfavorable for him to know people like Light and almost eighty percent of society wouldn't accept him. He wouldn't consider himself absolutely horrid looking, but to others, standards raise, and peoples opinions of him lower.
He thinks that's one reason why Light finds he is better then himself. How misguided.
Abruptly, the balcony door opened. Near stood behind L, speaking in a mumbled tone.
"Dinner is prepared…"
"Is everyone at the table?', He questioned almost too enticed by the glowing moon.
"Or course."
"Then I will be their momentarily." He turned his head acknowledging the successor, "thank you."
Curling white hair with a single finger, Near turned away and slid the glass door closed almost as if he were some disturbance.
It is Thanksgiving after all.
There better be pie.

The blonde cackled almost spilling her drink into her own plate, "You know what?" she slurred loud in front of the whole table, "I am thankful for this champagne. It's the bee's knees, don't you think Mogi san?"
Embarrassingly enough, Misa stood up announcing her Christmas list to the whole group of Whammy friends and task force.
Light grinded his teeth irritated, "Misa, sit down!"
L chuckled, "I would assume she is drunk, no?" Light shot L a nasty glance with the obvious statement.
"I am simply saying what I believe Light kun."
Light severed his turkey in half with frustrated motions, knife scraping into the plate.
"I don't believe those are very pleasant sounds to-"
"Oh be quite L! Just stop trying to embarrass me, I know my girlfriend is a hammered as it gets, but pointing it out will only make things worse."
If your so ashamed of her, why is she your girlfriend?; This thought was faintly whispered in L's conscience as he took a small sip from the glass of cream soda.
Light bit his lip and seemed agitated. With that, L smiled, lips still pressed to cup.
The only reason Light was stuck sharing Thanksgiving with these people instead of him family visiting grandparents in America… It was all Misa's fault.
If she hadn't been friends with that crack head bi-polar cross dresser, he wouldn't be stuck eating dinner with them. Mello… Why was Misa friends with this guy? Because of Misa, and because of Mello, for some reason now he knows a whole investigation team, ironically enough, that works with his dad, and to top it off, Mello and two other orphans with the taskforce.
It was almost sad Lights dad was so ready to let Light have thanksgiving with his girlfriend. Wasn't thanksgiving suppose to be a family thing?
It was just odd all these people crashed into his life out of no where. L was one that Light wasn't expecting.
L had some screw looses, or at least Light thought so. When they met, they clicked in a odd way, had a few intriguing conversations, and now Light is deciding to help on a new case L is indebted to finish.
But something happened.
This tension between the new acquaintances has risen everyday, and now the teasing and "ha ha" here and there has become more completive. It was a new rivalry that just didn't seem to fit. Did L think he was smarter then Light, yet somehow felt challenged?
"Light kun, you've been staring at me for the past three minutes. Is there something you want?"
Light's head shot up almost embarrassed, "Pass the peas?"
The whole table became loud with conversation.
