Chapter 2: Birthday Planning

The next day

When Light woke up, he was surprised to see the space next to him empty. But he wasn't surprised to see that he was handcuffed to the headboard of the bed. `GOD DAMMIT! Why can't L see that he can leave me by myself without these stupid handcuffs….oh yeah, he thinks I'm Kira and I'll kill criminals '.It was at that moment that Light balled up his fists as if to hit the bed. But he told himself to calm down. He took deep breaths to relax and release his anger.

Light saw that the door was opening so he sat up fast and saw that it was L coming in with two plates of strawberry cake. L walked over to the bed. "Good morning Light, I hope you slept well. Here have some cake." He said handing Light the plate. Light just looked at him. `L never shares his cake' Light thought. He snapped out of it. Light took the plate with shaking hands and said, "th-thank you." "your welcome", L said. L unlocked the handcuffs from the headboard and placed it back on his wrist. L took a seat next to Light, who was already eating. `Wow he must be hungry' L thought. They both ate in silence.

The first to break the silence was Light by saying, "L, can I ask you something?" L just stared at him. "hmm…oh, o-of course Light-kun." Light paused and swallowed some cake that he had in his mouth and said "umm…L when is your birthday?" L looked shocked at the question. 'Why does Light-kun want to know when my birthday is? Maybe it's a trick from Kira. I am positive that Light would be Kira. That's why he's asking this right? So he can kill me on my birthday. Isn't it?' "L?" "Huh? Oh, uhh, I have to go…uh…to the bathroom, excuse me."L got up quickly and Light was yanked from the bed and he landed on the floor and hit his head. Apparently L pulled a little too hard. "ouch" Light aid while rubbing his forehead.

L spent a whole hour in the bathroom. Light was just sitting on the floor playing with the chain and looking at the ceiling, hoping that L would come out already. On the other side of the door, L was curled up, thumb on lip, and asleep in the huge bathtub. Light was getting tired, so he stood up and knocked on the door, no answer, he knocked again, no answer. He twisted the knob and found that it was unlocked."L? , L where are you?" he said. He pulled apart the shower curtains and looked at down. There he saw that L was sleeping like a baby.

"L wake up." Light said while gently shaking him. "Mmm..."was all L said. Light had to shake L to wake him up. But he wouldn't budge. Light let out a sigh. So instead of leaving him there, he scooped him up in his arms trying not to wake him up, and walked to their room. Light couldn't believe how light L was, with all the cake and sweets he eats, he sure seemed like he didn't gain a pound. Light set L on the bed gently. L rolled onto his side. Light removed part of L's hair of his face. `He looks so…so peaceful, maybe even adorable. WAIT WHAT?! No…what am I thinking' he blushed. `How can I even think that'. He felt his face get even more warm. Light couldn't help it. He bent over so that his face was inches from L's. He gave him a peck on the forehead and said, "sleep well, L". Light noticed that L didn't even move. He pulled away quickly. He couldn't believe what he just did. He started feeling funny. `What am I doing? Why did I kiss him?' he thought. `Do I….like him?'`No! I can't I'm a guy!' he thought. Light kept getting this funny feeling in the pit of his stomach, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Light was bemused. He had forgotten on planning L's party. Light saw that the keys to the handcuffs were slowly coming out of L's pocket. Light thought about unlocking the cuffs, but, instead he reached for L's phone which was on the other side of the pocket and decided to call Watari. He walked slowly farther away so that he didn't wake L up. "Yes, Ryuzaki, what is it?" Watari said. "Hi Watari, it's me Light" he said in a whisper "umm...L's asleep, but I have to ask you something." Watari was listening intently at what Light was trying to say. "Yes, Light , what is it?" he said. Light paused he didn't know how to ask watari. "um..When is L's birthday? I asked him earlier but, he ran off to the bathroom." He couldn't help but look at the sleeping L and smile. Watari was stunned, he didn't know whether to tell him the truth or lie to him. So he asked, "And may I ask Light, why would you like to know this?" he asked calmly. "I wanted to know because….I , uh, want to throw L a party." Light said shyly. Well, Watari always wanted to throw L a party, but he never liked parties.

"Well, Light, I won't say no, because I've wanted to make him a party, but I have to say he really doesn't like them, as you can already tell, he's not that social. Who are you going to invite? He doesn't have that many friends. But if your willing to still plan him a party I will tell you." Watari waited for Light's reply. Light looked over at L who was sleeping peacefully and finally said "Yes…I still want to do this, plus, I think that the task force member would probably be busy so I'll be the only one there." He said. "very well Light, his birthday is only 5 weeks away, on the 31 of October." Watari said. "Okay thank you Watari, but can you not tell him about this I want this to be a surprise for him." "Of course Light, is there anything you would like me to bring for the party and where is it going to be held?" "Well, can I have the party on the top floor , above where we investigate the kira case? Oh, and could you bring lots of cakes and candy, I know L would love that. Do you know anyone who would bring gifts to him?" Light said. In fact Watari knew exactly who he would contact and that made him smile. "Yes, I know exactly who I can contact. Is that all you would like me to bring? And yes you could have it on the top floor." Watari said. " yes that is all, thank you Watari, I appreciate it." Light said. "your welcome Light. Goodbye." Watari said, as soon as watari said bye light told him to wait because he forgot one thing. "oh, I almost forgot, can you call me when you have everything ready, well , L and tell him that you found something concerning the Kira case?" he said. " Yes, I will contact you, is that all?" "yes, ok thank you again Watri, goodbye" "goodbye Light" Watari said and hung up the phone.

Light closed the phone and gently placed it back in L's pocket. Light was so happy. All he needed to do was buy L a present. `But what?' he thought. ` I know I'll take L outside and walk, then I'll we'll go to this candy shop and I'll tell him to get what ever he wants. While Watari gets everything ready. When he calls I'll take him back to headquarters and give him the surprise!' Light smiled at the thought. He went to go lay down next to L silently not to wake him up. He was facing him, stroking L's soft raven like hair. Light started liking L, even though he would never admit that to anyone.

A few moments later, L woke up. Light was on the other side of him laying down staring at him. L opened his eyes to see big hazel like eyes looking at him. "GAH!!" L screamed almost falling off the bed. But , Light immediately reached out his hand and caught him by the collar of L's shirt and pulled him back to the bed. Light immediately blushed and let go of his shirt. "Sorry, I-I didn't mean to scare you and fall off! I'm so sorry!" he said, he could feel the warmth spread across his face, so he looked away so L couldn't see. "it's quite alright, Light-kun." L said while trying to sit up, "But may I ask , why you were staring at me? Have you not seen a person sleep before?" Light chuckled and said "Of course I have L, just not you sleep. You just look so.." he paused and shook his head, "never mind." He said. L looked back at him. "So what? Tell me." L said. "Nothing, Never mind" Light said while sitting up. "Nope, not until you tell me." "Look L, can we just forget about it? Please? I'm sure I'll probably tell you some other time, who knows?" Light said, he obviously didn't want to tell L that he looked peaceful and adorable sleeping. "Very well , Light-kun, we'll forget about this and discuss it at a later day. Now let's go before the task members arrive."
