Overall Disclaimer for Fic: I don't own Death Note, but a girl can wish, no?
AN: This is an odd little oneshot/Drabble series comprised of loosely connected odd little ideas. I know some of them won't turn out as funny as I had hoped, but I hope this overall amuses you. I'll do full disclaimers for anything that needs disclaiming at the end of each chapter. Also, seeing as the overall premise of this is to bug the crap out of NoMemmories!Light as much as possible, if you have any suggestions, feel free to toss them my way. Who knows, I may just use them.
Overall Warnings: Mild language, mentions of sex, Shonen-ai, possible mild spoilers, OOCness and general weirdness. Enjoy!
-Oh, Bother!-
-Bother 1: Reading.-
Light sighed contentedly. It was Saturday afternoon, and although L had insisted they work at least part of the day, Light had managed to talk the eccentric detective to let them have the afternoon off to relax. After all, the Task Force got Saturday and Sunday off, all day no less.
With his newfound free time, Light had decided to catch up on some reading, having had his father bring him some books from home. He was about half-way through the newest book in a fantasy series he'd taken to back in high school. He'd only been reading a few moments, blissfully ignoring his chain-buddy and his odd high-jinks when he felt a sharp tug at the chain. With a sigh, the overworked teen lowered his book.
"Yes, Ryuzaki?"
"Light-kun is reading The Wheel of Time…"
"…Yes, Ryuzaki…" Light was more than a little puzzled as to why L felt he needed to tell Light something so obvious.
"Chance of Light-kun being Kira is up by fifteen percent."
Light nearly dropped his book in surprise. "What? Why?"
"Because Light-kun is reading The Wheel of Time. Really, Light-kun knows how much I dislike repeating myself…"
What has this," light brandished the book in his head. "Have to do with that?" He made a vague motion in the air, as if pointing to the accusation the world's three top detectives had just made.
L sighed and adopted a one similar to one a parent would use when explaining something very simple to a very slow child. "Kira considers himself a God of Justice, yes?"
Light nodded, wondering where this was going.
"The primary force for 'good' in The wheel of Time is called 'The Light', correct?"
"…Yes…" Light had a feeling he knew where this was going, and pinched the bridge of his nose in anticipation of L's next statement and the headache he knew would follow.
"If Light-kun enjoys reading a fantasy series in which his name is also that of the 'Just God', which is also something Kira would also no doubt enjoy, then it is only logical to assume that Light enjoys reading the series because it plays to the God-Complex he developed as Kira."
"Ryuzaki…" Light sighed. "I'm not Kira. I was reading this series before the entire…Kira fiasco started…how do you explain that?"
"Perhaps Light-kun was somewhat inspired by Robert Jordan's use of his name, and decided to become Kira…"
"That's ridiculous!" Light snapped. "That's like saying my parents foresaw Robert Jordan's use of the name 'Light' and decided to name me that in hopes that I would become Kira."
"Now who is being ridiculous, Kira-kun?"
"I. Am. Not. Kira." Light emphasized each word, indicating the conversation was to end there. "I'm going back to my reading now…why don't you…stack sugar cubes or something…leave me alone."
L gave a silent shrug, as if to tell the younger he would not interfere again. With a sigh of annoyance, Light returned to his reading. He managed to read all f three pages before there was another small tug at the chain.
"What, Ryuzaki?" Light asked with a groan, afraid to see what the pain attached to his wrist by six feet of chain would have to say next.
Will Kira-kun please allow me to borrow that book when he is done? I have yet to read it."
There was a sound most would identify as a strangled groan, or possibly something akin to a small animal being mutilated as the thick paperback book flew through the air, narrowly missing the raven haired detective's head.
"Light-kun could have finished reading first…but thank you." L said sweetly as he cracked open the book, holding it in his odd manner, and began to read.
'Really…' Light thought as he crossed his arms and stared out the nearest window of the sitting room the pair was occupying. 'Since when was something as simple as reading such a bother?'
-Bother 1: End.-
Dedication: For Scottie-chan, as she was the one who dragged me into The Wheel of Time fandom…at least somewhat. More explanation of that with a later Drabble though. xD
Disclaimer: As mentioned above, I didn't write The Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan did.
AN: there's our first Bother for poor Light-kun. Although this one was rather short, (The actual drabble was only about 655 words), most of them will be longer. So…feedback? Suggestions? I have several more Bothers planned, so look for updates soonish. Please review!
