If there was one word that could describe Light, it was defiantly manipulative. After asking L for the nineteenth time to be unlocked from the handcuffs so he could go to the mall and being turned down each and every time, he finally got L to agree, once he casually slipped into the conversation that a new bakery that had opened up in the mall. It was only after that that L agreed to let Light go, but only after telling Matsuda and Tanaka to tail him.

Light returned after a few hours, carrying a small bag with him. "So, Light-kun, what did you end up buying?" L asked, perking up from his chair to get a closer look at the bag.

"Oh, this?" Light said, taking a small peek into the bag, "just something I picked up at that new bakery." At the mention of the bakery, L pushed himself off of the chair and began making his way over to Light.

"What exactly is it?" asked L, trying to look inside the bag, as Light pulled the bag a little farther back. Giving off a small smirk, L walked over to the nearest surface and placed the bag down. Slowing reaching into it, he took his time pulling out the contents as L stood behind him, eyes wide and mouth ready to drool.

Finally Light moved out of the way to allow L to see what he had bought. Laying on the table was a rather large piece of white cake, covered in a pure white icing and topped with a rather large strawberry. As if drawn to it by magnetic attraction, L began to make his way over to the cake, only to be cut off when Light stepped back between him and the cake.

L looked up into Light's eyes, which at the moment were filled with an emotion that L couldn't put his finger on. "Light-kun, that slice is rather big, do you think you'll be able to finish it up on your own?" L asked, trying to ask at least a little helpless.

"Oh, I didn't get this for me" Light replied changing his body position to allow L to be able to see the cake again.

"Oh really?" asked L, a small shine visible in his eyes.

"Yeah, I thought you might enjoy a treat, since your always busy catching Kira." A small smile exited L's lips as he tried to make his way around Light and over to the cake, only to have Light grab him by the wrist and pull him back in front of him. L looked back at Light's eyes, the emotion now raging inside Light's eyes.

"But see, that cake was rather expensive, so I'm going to need some sort of reconciliation."

L looked at him with a confused look, only to have the reality of the situation hit him. Nodding his head in agreement, L reached into his pocket and pulled out the key to unlock the handcuff around his wrist, but before he could, Light reached over and grabbed L's other wrist.

"Oh no, your going to end up needing those" he said as he lead L out of the room and into a more private place.

Yes, if there was one word to describe Light, it was manipulative.
