Now it has occurred to me that I always forget to ask but, please please you have permission to leave a review or PM me *hint hint any criticism is welcome, be it good or bad, even something like purple bananas can be stored for later use ^^, is fine
Now, this chapter is a bit slow, just something to help the flow of the story so nothing major happens, just a little something when they're cleaning the house, and u can skip to the end if u want
Ha cliffhanging is fun, without further adoo I brig u Grey Matter chapter 2
Ps, if some of it doesn't make sense it's because of autocorrect I mean, last chapter it said untaxed instead of unfazed so if something doesn't make sense just ask me if u want thnx ;)
They stood in front of the door and L unlocked it casually and let the door swing to wall by itself. Yagami peeked in and felt his face go a shade of green. L's apartment looked like it held a hoarder; rubbish strewn everywhere, furniture that could almost be considered rotting and the walls and floor were an unsightly shade of brown. "Well here it is. Now I'll need help with..." L listed the things he wanted taken to his Kombi, Yagami half listened because he just couldn't believe that someone lived in a place like this.
"Freaking hell L, how can you survive in this place?" Yagami gasped putting a hand to his mouth and picking up an old newspaper and throwing it in the bin.
L shrugged and gathered up his ps3 and it's accessories, "it never really fazed me," he grunted as he disappeared down the stairs. Yagami looked back at the room. He could understand why L was being evicted, and the thought of his perfect clean house turning into this... He shuddered and pulled a determined face. "For L's sake, I will help him clean his apartment." And with that, Yagami set to work
L and Yagami sat side by side against a wall panting and sweating. "Four hours! Four fucking hours!" L ran his moist hands through dank hair and banged his head on the wall.
"It's alright L, at least we moved everything," Yagami patted his shoulder gently. "Time to start cleaning," he said adding enthusiasm and helping L to his feet.
"Can't we just go and sleep at your house and clean up tomorrow?" L mumbled as he picked something up and threw it in the bin. He turned and saw a stern look on yagami's face.
"L, Kazuki wanted you packed up about, 6 hours ago, besides we only have to pick this stuff up and throw it away." Yagami smiled weakly. To tell the truth even he was beginning to become fatigued. L smirked.
"Then we have to scrape away the grime," he said under his breath. Yagami glared at him.
"Excuse me?" He said and it actually intimidated L a little. "It will just have to be up to the landlord for that part. After all, you don't actually own that," he smiled. L nearly smiled but turned away and occupied himself with cleaning. This person who had literally bumped into his life was changing him. Normally, nothing except other people's pain and misfortune could make him smile. But here was Yagami, who intimidated him, made him happy and generally overwhelmed him. How was he also so cheery? No, L remembered seeing a look that was certainly not joy, and he obviously was hiding something huge judging by the scar along his face. He turned around and caught a glimpse of Yagami. His sweat was making his makeup visible, no doubt irritating him as he was constantly rubbing his face, smudging the concealer. And as he did, the line along his mouth grew into view. L saw another one now, from his temple down to his cheekbone on the left. And on from the edge of his chin, along his collarbone and then disappearing down the back of his shirt. He was obviously trying to hide them so L didn't mention, however he deduced that they ran along his arms, hands and legs judging by the covering. L stopped paying attention to Yagami and kept picking up rubbish.
2 hours later and they had finished their task. Yagami forced L to give him a high five and then they took the elevator to kazuki's level.
They marched into his room and L thrust the keys on his bedside table. It was 3am and Kazuki had been asleep for ages. "There's your keys fucktard! I got a new place so BLLLLEEEEEEEE!" He pulled his eye down and stuck out his tongue before grabbing yagami's hand and running down the stairs with him in tow. Yagami laughed heartedly as he trailed along and L cracked a small smile. L was wrenched forward as Yagami suddenly stopped. He stumbled but didn't fall as Yagami pulled his hand towards him before he fell. "L," he said in a strong tone. L looked warily towards him. Then Saw his face twitch and hold back a retarded smile. L huffed. "I saw what you did there," Yagami stated and laughed.
"Oh yeah, very funny," L grumped. They had reached the bottom of the stairs and L looked down at their still untwined hands. Yagami seemed not to have noticed as he was still laughing at the face he had seen Kazuki pull after being woken from a deep sleep. L was suddenly very conscious and subtly released Yagami. He hit his shoulder and they ran over to L's Kombi. "Fuck!" L shouted as he scrambled into the driver seat and Yagami leapt, literally, into the passenger seat. L fumbled with the clutch as they heard an angry kazuki stomping towards them. Grip, push right the full way, then down. 6th gear. L put the pedal to the metal and while a screech the old vans wheels lurched and they sped off leaving Kazuki in their wake.
Yagami turned around in his seat to watch the dot that was Kazuki fading away. "L, you idiot!" He smiled and hit L lightly causing him to flinch.
"Not while I'm fucking driving. Do me a favour and get me a cupcake," he said motioning with his thumb towards the back.
"Ok then," Yagami smiled lightly and walked to the back of L's van. He started fishing around in the pile of things L had brought from the store. L thought a moment and called back, "heh Yagami, I don't actually know the way to get to-" there was a sudden squeal, a crash and what sounded like 'oomph.' 'What the fuck is he doing?' L thought as he slowed down and stopped on the side of the road. "Hey Yagami-" he began but stopped when he saw what had happened. "What the hell were you doing Yagami?" He said taking in the sight.
"Help me L. Please..."
