Have you ever tried listening to Aqua while trying to draw something angsty? It doesn't work (laughs). It really just makes you want to write bubble gum.

Something was drawing him up from the world of unconsciousness. It was slightly irritating to the neko; it was something that he would normally ignore, grumble about, and fall asleep again.

But this was something different.

This noise was high pitched, buzzing and continuous. "Mmm…" He groaned softly into warm pillow his head was resting on. It smelled nice…kinda like apples, that or apple pie. Yum.

"…L?" The neko's eyes fluttered open when he heard his master's voice; his ears flew up, and once he hit consciousness, the annoying buzzing became louder and even more irritating.

"Master?" The neko then looked down and noticed that he was laying sprawled on top of his master. "I-I'm sorry, master…" His skinny arms shook lightly as he lifted his body from his very comfortable 'pillow'. Raito yawned.

"Don't apologize, L; you didn't do anything…" The neko averted his owlish eyes and still got off of the law student.

Raito scowled angrily toward the direction of where the buzzing noise was coming from. "Damn alarm clock." He muttered, standing up and walking to the bed room. L watched quietly; few seconds later, the buzzing was cut short.

The neko watched as the law student got ready for his day. Books, pens, and random papers were thrown together; the neko cocked his head to the left, one ear twitched lightly as his master gathered up his tings. "Where is Raito-sama going?" He asked.

Raito ran a hand through his freshly brushed auburn hair; he glanced at L, then back at his bag, his eyes flickering over the things inside incase he had forgotten anything. "I have morning classes that I need to attend."

"Will I be going as well?"

"No, you'll be staying here."

L sighed lightly, "But I'll die of boredom…"

Raito snorted and turned to leave; he gave the neko a small smile. "I'm sure you'll manage."

-

The afternoon sunlight blinded him; a small sigh left his mouth as he mentally went over the list of where to eat. "Uh-um…Raito-san?"

Raito turned with an irritated groan, but a polite smile lifted his lips. Takada Kyomi smiled bashfully up at him. A red blush blotted her cheeks. "Um would you like to got to lunch…with me?" How was he going to say 'no' with out sounding like a complete jack ass?

"Uh--"

"Raito-sama!" Skinny arms wrapped around the law student's waist, and Raito could see a small bento clenched tightly in one spidery hand. Takada's eyes had widened to an almost unimaginable degree as his neko smiled happily up at him.

"L…what are you doing here?" He turned around and noticed that L had not wore a hat; cat ears happily poked out of his raven hair, and a small pink blush was on his porcelain face.

"I became bored whilst sitting alone at Raito-sama's home, so I made him lunch." Here the neko held out the small bento box, and smiled shyly.

Raito didn't even notice as Takada quietly walked away.

He sighed and then smiled softly at his neko; honestly, how could he be angry when L acted so cute? "Do you want to eat with me?" The neko nodded eagerly.

-

"How did you make this?" Raito asked after swallowing his last bite of rice. L finished the last doughnut he had brought for his own lunch; he began licking the pink frosting off of his finger tips.

"Sayu-chan came over after Raito-sama left; she was quite disappointed when I told her that he gone. She taught me how to make Raito-sama's favorite bento." Raito made a small 'hm' noise in the back of his throat. Sayu was apologizing by using his cute neko…oh well.

-

"…is Raito-sama leaving again?" The neko asked as Raito stood from the small alcove they had sat in to finish their lunch. The law student yawned softly, and glanced at the raven haired male.

"I have to; anyway, it's only another hour of class. I'm sure you can find something exciting to do while you're waiting for me, L." The neko nodded sadly, but as Raito turned to go to his next class, he felt the neko's hands grab one of his own.

"Raito-sama…wait." The law student turned and raised an eyebrow at L's blushing face.

"What?" L softly bit his bottom lip and averted his owlish eyes. The neko leaned up and gave his master a soft kiss. He smiled slightly as he pulled back from the youth's mouth.

"Okay," He said, "You can leave now." Raito looked at his neko, eyes wide and face burning. His lips tingled (however cliché that sounded) and he found himself wishing that it would happen again.

L cocked his head to the left in a curious manner. "Raito-sama has been staring at me for 3.5 seconds; doesn't he need to go to class?" Raito blushed again, and cleared his throat awkwardly.

"O-of course, sorry about…staring. I was…er, lost in thought." The neko smiled goofily, and gave a small 'hm' in response.

-

"Sayu-chan also taught me how to make stir-fry." L said. They were in a moderately well sized grocery store that was only a block and a half away from the law student's apartment.

Raito raised an eyebrow as L stared at the instant cake-mixes. "Really now? It seems that you're a bit more interested in cake than stir-fry." The neko looked over his shoulder and stuck out his tongue (a purely childish act) Too cute! The law student thought, placing three green bell peppers into the small basket he had.

"Look over there!" He heard some old woman screech silently.

"Atrocious!" What are they talking about? Raito thought, leaning over L to grab three boxes of cake mix the neko couldn't reach.

"I can't believe that people buy those…things!" The first woman hastily whispered. Luckily (or unluckily) he had good hearing.

"It's pathetic! Young men and women thinking that it's so great to have something that obeys their every command! Sick!"

Raito noticed that L's ears were beginning to droop; he felt the blood rush to head, and he turned to the two whispering old hags. "Excuse me," He had a wickedly sweet smile on his face. One hand was gripped protectively around L's own skinny hand. The two women jumped at his directness. "I would appreciate it if you would stop your mindless complaining until after I leave."

He turned on his heal and stalked toward the cash register. L turned toward the two women, stuck out his tongue and…flipped them the bird.

And so, chapter three! I'm sorry this is late, I haven't been able to go on the computer because my mother keeps hogging it. I haven't been able to read any of the things I have on alert, nor have I been able to check my email.

(sigh) Please review anyway :D
