A is for Ass.
L was an ass.
"Ryuzaki, it's two-thirty in the morning, I'm exhausted, and we are going to bed." Light tugged at the chain of handcuffs eternally connecting them towards the bedroom.
"Actually, Light, it is two twenty-seven a.m. and we are going to continue working." L tugged the chain in response with a stronger arm causing Light to fall back in his uncomfortable chair. L looked back to the computer screen.
"Fine, but there is no we in this. I'm going to sleep." Light glared at the detective, crossed is arms and closed his eyes.
"Have a nice rest." Ryuzaki replied dully.
Five minutes later, Light was shuffling and adjusting and groaning in his chair attempting to find a comfortable position. Squeak. Creak. Bang. Screech.
"Light." L started with clear annoyance in his voice. "Is there any particular reason for all of this…movement?"
"Well, Ryuzaki, I don't know, maybe if I had a pillow, or some head support, or a bed, I would be creating less noise." Light tried to appear vicious and threatening but in his disheveled state, L thought the brunette looked more like a kitten. Cute.
"Would you perhaps like to seek comfort and rest by placing your head on my upper arm and collar bone while I work?"
"…"
"Did you just ask if I wanted to sleep on your shoulder?" Light asked with wide eyes and a blush creeping down his neck.
"I would offer my lap, but that may be rather uncomfortable for you seeing as I must sit with my thighs rather close to my chest." L replied emotionlessly but his eyes gleamed with amusement.
Light considered the options. Ryuzaki's shoulder did look really soft and warm in contrast to the cold and hard plastic chair. And it was almost quarter to three in the morning; probably no one from the task force would show up.
"Ok. Deal." The corners of L's mouth twitched up ever so slightly.
Light awkwardly moved closer to L and gently rested his head on his shoulder. Ah.
Apart from the slight movement of his muscles from typing, Ryuzaki kept perfectly still and Light dosed off in minutes.
About twenty minutes later Matsuda burst into the room and loudly exclaimed "Hey, Ryuzaki! I got that report you want..e….d." he trailed off as he observed Light on L's shoulder.
Light, wide-awake by now moved away from L stammered and blushed trying to come up with an appropriate excuse.
"No need to feel uncomfortable Matsuda." Ryuzaki cut in. "I merely reluctantly allowed Light to rest on my shoulder because he quote "felt lonely" and needed some love." L wore a faux innocent look on his face that Light nearly smacked off.
" I said NO such thing! You evil, childish, lying, ASS!" Light screamed at Ryuzaki.
Matsuda mumbled something about seeing them later and abruptly left the room. Light scowled at L and turned away. L smirked at a picture taken by his webcam of Light snuggled close to his shoulder.
