Ever wondered if L got bored and if Light was the victim of it? I have, and to say the least, I think there is a reason L's eyes are black.

A Deathnote fanfiction born out of boredom. I don't own any of these characters.

Light stared at the computer screen, his only source of light in the dark room besides the computer next to him where his partner, L, sat in his usual hunched-over manner. The light-brown haired man was aware of the dark, unblinking eyes staring at him from the right side but he chose to ignore them, being used to it by now. All that mattered was that he finish his research so he could go to sleep and the insomniac that he was bound to was not going to deprive him of his well-earned rest. Instead, he focused on the blinding monitor before him and the incessant hum it made.

Poke.

The young prodigy was slightly startled and looked at the owl-eyed man beside him, who withdrew his finger quickly. L slapped a silly grin on his face and looked at his screen, acting as if nothing happened. Light shook his head and returned his gaze to the computer.

Poke.

Light looked again at L, seeing the same grin on the face as before. He glared at the dark-brown haired insomniac.

"Do you mind?" He said annoyed. His partner looked at him with the same dark-rimmed eyes.

"Mind what?" He replied innocently. Light stared at the man again and turned back to his screen.

Poke.

I'll ignore him. Thought Light.

Poke.

Don't get mad, it'll only encourage him.

Poke.

Don't get mad.

Poke. Poke.

Mad…

Poke.

Don't…

POKE.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" Light yelled at his partner, his final string snapping. L looked at him blankly before smiling and waving at his annoyed cohort.

"Hello!" He said cheerily. Light's eye twitched as color rushed to his face, wondering whether to punch the sugar-addict or strangle him; he decided on the first. L was taken unawares as the fist connected to the left side of his jaw with a crack, knocking him out of his chair and crashing onto the floor. Light withdrew his fist from the punching position and turned back to his computer with a huff. L groaned and pointed a finger up in the air as he lay on the floor.

"56.3 percent sure you're Kira now."

"Good, I'm glad. Now shut up." Light replied coldly.

THE END
