(A/N: Guys, thank you so much. Actually, this will be the last chapter. It should be kind of long if I can manage to think! Haha! Oh, guys, PLEASE check out my Ask Away fanfic because I think toribabekit will flip without my response to her questions! ;) Haha. Thanks guys for your reviews. I'm SO sorry these chapters are so short... :()
A/N / DISCLAIMER: I JUST REALIZED I DID NOT PUT A DISCLAIMER. EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNBELIEVABLY OBVIOUS THAT I DID NOT CREATE DEATH NOTE, I HAVE TO SAY SO. I DO NOT OWN DEATH NOTE OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. THOUGH, I DO LIKE TO TRY TO KEEP THEM IN CHARACTER ;)
Light felt completely hopeless. With L chained to his side, he couldn't simply ask Watari what was going on today that L wouldn't admit to, because L had magical looks that he gave Watari that seemed to tell him what to do. "Ryuzaki?" He asked quietly. "I apologize, but... could you at least give me a hint?"
L leaned back in his chair some, spinning to face Light dead-on. "Why are my moods so important to you, Light-kun?" He asked quietly, frowning.
"I'm just... curious. I mean... you've been acting strange since I went to bed..." He rubbed the back of his neck, watching L with a look that begged for information.
"It's... my birthday." L said softly.
"...Your birthday?" Light quirked a brow. "Ryuzaki, if it was your birthday... you wouldn't be so upset. I mean... I wouldn't be." He chuckled.
L bit his thumbnail, shaking his head. "I have had one person wish me happy birthday most of my life." He told Light, with an odd look.
This information made Light frown. "...Happy Birthday then, Ryuzaki... Why couldn't you have told me?" L shook his head, turning to the computer screen. "Well, get up." Light tugged the chain, rising to his feet.
L got up, blinking. "...Why, Light-kun?"
"...Everyone goes out for their birthdays! Come on. We'll go... Oh! I have the perfect place to go. But it's a surprise."
"No, Light-kun, we have work to do."
"We always have work to do, Ryuzaki. We haven't gotten anywhere with what we've been looking at, so why not take a break?"
"You already took a break, Light-kun. You decided to sleep at that time."
Light looked insulted. "Let's go. You're going." He sighed, tugging the chain until he reached the door. L struggled to resist the pulling. "You'll really like the place I'm taking to you! And... I promise... we'll have enough time to come back and work today. We'll be gone about two hours. Put on shoes."
L looked around briefly before nodding slowly, putting on his normal 'out to town' shoes and following Light willingly. Light led him out and headed down the street. "Where are we going...?" L asked quietly, watching the areas they walked past.
"It's a surprise. Be quiet or we won't go!" Light laughed, looking around as they walked. It was obvious to L he didn't entirely remember where the place was. "I don't go here very often... forgive my sense of direction." Light mumbled, more to himself than L, but L heard.
"Do you know where we're going?" L asked quickly, not wanting to get lost when he was alone with the kira suspect on a chain.
"Well, see... that's the thing. I know where we're going... I... don't know where it is." He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed softly, stopping. "I think it's further up this street."
"If you tell me what it is, I bet I can tell you where to go."
"Shh..." Light smiled, remembering. He tugged the chain, hurrying off somewhere to the left. By the time they reached the place, L was pleasantly surprised. They walked inside and L's eyes grew wide like a child in a candy shop. Rather... an L in a candy shop.
"Thank you, Light-kun..." He said softly, walking ahead eagerly and exploring the dessert buffet. Light smiled, watching L gather sweets in a Tower of Babel style as he paid for them to get what they wanted.
"Happy birthday, Ryuzaki..." Light said quietly, smiling.
(So, guys! Was it a pleasant surprise? :3 I really hope it was... believe it or not... I said it was October in the first chapter. ;) Haha. Yes, toribabekit, you were right! Good job.)
