The Art of Conversation

"I hope you understand, Yagami-kun, that these kinds of ideas are absolutely absurd," stated L, and Light looked at him questioningly. "It's obvious that the entire concept of you and me, as a couple, is, from the beginning to the end, utterly impossible to be true," the detective continued, tilting his head a little to the right.

Light's eyebrow twitched.

"This is obvious. I'm a detective and you are the main suspect..." L added, staring at a random point on the wall. "I could say even more. I am pretty sure that you, Yagami Light, are Kira."

Light's eyebrow twitched dengerously one more time.

"Moreover, it's also a big obstacle that we are both male. And I'm afraid that these kinds of actions aren't really approved in our society," L added, and his big, rimmed eyes focused on an invisible object between the wall and the ceiling this time.

"I also cannot say that I'm willing to get involved in this kind of relationship, Yagami-kun. I've always been a loner..." L continued, and Light just clenched his teeth miserably.

"Furthermore, all the investigations take a lot of my time, and I don't think, I would be able to provide you enough entertainment. Besides..."

"That's great," Light snapped out, while clenching the bed sheets tightly, "But maybe you wouldn't mind putting that conversation aside until tomorrow morning, and right now just GET GOING FASTER!?"

Maybe I cannot call my timing perfect, L thought to himself.
