Light opened his eyes and stared at L, putting his arms around him and hugging him tightly. "Ryuuzaki..." He said, "There are no words to describe how I feel right now. I love you too." L smiled, Lights smile, and pulled Light from off of the wall. He walked over to the computer desk and sat down, watching Light stare at the walls. "Could this room be any more depressing?" He asked, walking over to L. "What do you mean?" "This lighting is weird. It's either too dark or the walls have this sickly green look. Maybe you should get light bulbs that give off UV rays. The walls are just saying, 'Hey. I'm a soulless concrete wall!'"
L chuckled. "It's not that bad." He said. Light shrugged and sat down in a computer chair, grabbing a pair of headphones. "What are you playing?" L asked with curiosity. "Hmm... I'm not sure yet." Light replied, "What are you gonna do?" "Itunes." L said, clicking it. He grabbed a pair of black headphones and put them on, staring at the screen. Light clicked the Internet and signed into AIM, going on a random site with tons of forums.
Someone suddenly instant messaged him and he clicked 'show the IM'.
? Hey. Guess who.
Light stared at the screen, sitting back in his chair and thinking. He was confused. No one in his family typed in capital letters. Then someone popped into his head.
Light Damn it sis, stop changing your screen name! Stick with one.
? Nope. Strike one.
Light folded his hands on the desk and thought again. Confusion was written all over his face, even L saw it when he glanced over at Light. "You okay, Light?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking." Light replied. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, opening them a few seconds later and typing.
Light Ugh, dad stop using my computer...
? Strike two.
Light Can you give me a hint?
? I'm somewhere near, not to far. I'm not a psycho or a superstar. I'm practically in the same room as you, the only thing is I do wear shoes.
Light Wow a rhyme. So, your not Mello or Misa. Your not Ryuuzaki, so you must be Near.
? Wow Light, you fail.
Light What the hell!?
? Your forgetting all about the poor little red head stuck in his room with a laptop.
Light Matt?
Matt Good job! But you still get points for failure.
Light smiled and sat back in his chair. He looked up at Matts room and saw him by the door, waving. Light waved back and typed.
Light How do you feel?
Matt Hell a lot better than before.
Light That's good. Want anything from down here?
Matt Nope, I got everything.
Light Okay then.
"Who are you talking to?" L asked, looking at Light with wondrous eyes. "Matt got his laptop with him." He replied with a small smile. L rolled his chair over to Light and looked at the conversation. "He's on my screen name again." He said. He typed: Better get your own soon before I un-install AIM. "But I don't feel like making my own." Matt said, leaning on the rail of the stairs.
"Well I don't like you using my screen name and talking to important people." L replied looking back at him, "How did you get Lights screen name anyway?" "I hacked AIM." Matt said with a smile. L smiled and whispered, "I told you they're smart." Light crossed his arms and made a face. L chuckled and patted his shoulder. "I still don't approve of it." He said turning his back on L and facing the computer. Where are the two trouble makers... L thought, looking around. "Mello? Near?" He called out. There was no reply.
"Where did they go..." He mumbled, getting up and listening for a noise. He walked along the wall and stopped at Mellos room, trying to open the door. It was locked. "Mello. Open the door." He said. He heard someone walk a few steps then everything was silent in the room. "Near are you in there?" No reply. Light yelled, "Mello, I have chocolate covered Oreos!" The door swung open and Mello ran outside looking around. "Chocolate!?" He yelled, running over to Light. He jumped up and down and smiled.
L looked inside and saw Near, sleeping on the floor, cuddling a stuffed animal. He walked over to Near and picked him up, placing him on Mellos bed. "No steal my dominoes..." He mumbled, turning over. L gently placed a blanket over him and walked out, shutting the door behind him.
"Is Nate alright?" Light asked, staring at L. He nodded and replied, "He must be tired, he's sleeping." Light smiled and stared at the ceiling. He clamped his headphones over his ears and closed his eyes, sitting back in the computer chair. "You look tired." L said. Light just simply nodded and sighed. Mello sat on the floor and crossed his arms, pouting. He glowered at the closet, then at Light and turned his back to him.
Matt walked downstairs and sat next to Mello, patting his head and grinning. "Mmm... What time is it?" Light asked. L glanced at the computer and replied, "Eleven." "In the morning?" "At night." "What?" Light said looking back at the computer, "We were down here for so long?" "Yeah. Time flies by when your having fun." L replied, sitting down in a chair next to him. He ran his fingers through Lights hair and caressed his cheek, smiling Lights smile.
He leaned his head on L's shoulder and hugged his arm, slowly drifting off. "Good night." He said, kissing the top of Lights forehead. He stirred and sighed, rubbing his cheek against L's arm. A few minutes passed and almost everyone was asleep. Matt shared his bed with Mello, since Near was sleeping in his bed and Light was still asleep, hugging L's arm. "Light." He said shaking his shoulder, "Wake up. Your back will hurt if you sleep in the chair like this." "Mmm, no..." Light mumbled, stretching and sitting back in the chair.
L stood up from his chair and held Light by his arm. "Come on, wake up." He said, shaking him. "Okay, okay. I'm awake." Light replied, sliding his arms up and putting them around L's neck. "Come on, your tired. Can you walk up the stairs?" "Yeah." Light replied. They both walked up the stairs and through a long hallway, walking into a bedroom. The walls were a deep blue color and the carpet was white, a huge, blue, double bed was set in the center of the room and a white lamp was lit in the left corner.
"You have a bedroom?" Light asked, staring at the room. "Of course." L replied walking him over to the bed, "You just sleep, you look awfully tired." "I feel dead..." Light said, his voice barely audible. L gently pushed his hair back and Light lay down, staring up at L. He rested his head on the pillow and hugged it tightly, slowly closing his eyes.
L leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips and whispered, "Good night." Light untied one arm from the pillow and put it around L, trying to pull himself closer to him. "Don't leave..." He mumbled. "I won't. I promise." L replied, pushing Lights hair away from his face. He sighed and drifted off into a deep sleep.
Hours passed by and the sun shone a beautiful yellow-orange into the room. Light mumbled something inaudible and turned away from the sunlight, opening his eyes halfway. "Ryuuzaki?" He said, looking around. He wasn't there. Light sighed and nuzzled his face into the pillow, slowly sitting up. He stretched and stood up from the bed. He eyed two doors in the room, one lead to a hallway and one was unknown.
He walked over and leaned his ear against the door, listening for a noise. Nothing. He listened for a noise near the other door and felt a presence in the room. He slowly turned the handle on the door and looked inside. It was a neatly organized bathroom. Everything was white and brightly lit, a very detailed mirror sat on the farthest wall.
"Ryuuzaki?" Light called out. "Oh. Is someone there?" L replied, lifting headphones from off his head. He turned his head and smiled Light's smile. "Good morning." He said. Light blushed and looked down at the floor. "S-Sorry to disturb you." "Oh, no. It's not a problem." L said, "Would you like to join me?" Lights face grew to a deep cherry red and slowly replied, "I think I'll p-pass." L shrugged and put the headphones around his neck, listening to the blasting music. He was taking a bath.
Jun, the dog, sprinted into the room and skid across the tiles, flattening his face into the wall. Light giggled and stared at L, who was trying to hold in a laugh. "I swear, sometimes I think you have ADHD." He said, reaching over and petting Jun. He yipped and looked over at Light, chewing on the bottom of his pants. "Bad. Don't eat pants, they taste horrible." He replied. Jun stopped and sat down next to Light, looking up at him with watchful eyes. "How do you know how pants taste?" L asked. "Internet." Light simply replied, "I still feel like drowning the mutt."
"Don't do that. He likes you. I can see it."
"Well I don't like it."
"Why not?"
"Because, I never really liked animals."
"Well you should feel bad for him. The kids probe and torture him everyday." L said, looking at Jun. Light thought for a minute then shuddered, thinking of the endless possibilities that the kids could do to the dog. L grinned. "I can see your thinking." He said. Light nodded and picked Jun up, holding him in his arms and petting him. "What do you want for breakfast?" L asked. "I'll make it, since I'm the 'better cook'." Light replied with a smile. L rolled his eyes and took a towel, covering himself as he stepped out of the tub.
"Well..." He said, walking over to Light. He suddenly kissed him in the most passionate way he could and slowly pulled away, leaving Light breathless and immobile. "At least I'm the better kisser." He whispered, walking out the door.
