BRAAAP!
Light could hardly believe it. 'Oh my god,' he thought, 'I just belched!' He looked quickly to his left to see if L had heard it. No reaction. That was good. He slowly gave a small sigh of relief and began to go back to the monotonous computer tasks at hand.
"It is customary to say excuse me after one burps. Or is that not an eastern custom?"
Light felt his face flush slightly. Damn it, he HAD heard.
"I'm sorry. I didn't think you heard"
L set down his freshly skewered strawberry and turned to look at the rude teen.
"You do realize it's impolite to just hope no one heard and refrain from excusing one's self?"
Now this was just ridiculous. Since when did L give a damn about being polite? He was starting to feel like a child being reprimanded by their father. This would just not do. But, for the sake of his own sanity he decided to swallow his pride.
"I apologize for my rudeness then. Excuse me."
Light started typing once more before L decided to add more to this ridiculous conversation.
"Also, Light, that was the most pathetic belch I've ever heard. You burp like a girly boy."
"WHAT!"
"You heard me."
"Oh, and I suppose you think you are the superior belcher?"
"Well, yes. I am a man."
"Yeah, whatever."
" I will prove it to you."
And with that said, L proceeded to hop from his chair and drag Light with him to the small refrigerator. After searching within the deep recesses of the mini-fridge he finally emerged. In his hand was a bottle of...
"What the hell, L? Why is there beer in there?"
"Because adults do tend to enjoy alcoholic beverages on occasion. I am an adult and this is an alcoholic beverage that I will be enjoying. One day, when you are a man, you too may enjoy one of these."
"I AM a man."
"Hardly."
L then tugged the chain connecting them back to their work stations. Light couldn't believe what he was seeing. There he was, the so-called great detective L doing what could only be described as CHUGGING a beer. The contents emptied, L carefully placed the glass bottle next to his computer and proceeded to wait. Suddenly, the unthinkable happened.
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Light could have sworn he saw lips flapping. L then turned to look at Light. He took great joy in the dumbstruck look on the boys face. He would be willing to bet that Light's eyes rivaled his own in size at that moment.
"And that, Light-kun, is how a REAL man belches."
