Chapter 4: Strawberry Cheese Cake
Curses – Bullet for My Valentine
"Did you rough him up a bit, Mello, Matt?"
"Yeah…dad." Mello looked away from his father, his gaze on the world outside. A man with short silver hair in a black suit and tie sat in front of the two boys in the limo.
"Somebody saw us though Mr. Fumia." Matt took out his Nintendo DS and turned it on, the annoying theme song getting on Fumia's nerves but he kept his cool.
"Did he see your face Mello?" Said boy stared out the window. Children were out in their own front yards running around and playing with their mothers. The young blond winced at the pain he felt in his chest. 'Lucky…' Fumia looked at his son, his face evident with concern, and he touched his shoulder, bringing the boy out of his thoughts. The teen turned to look at his father.
"Do you know that Wedy got caught buying drugs for me from Aiber, one of Miguel's men?" Mello eye's widened, his sapphire blue orbs searching for any hint of sarcasm but in vain.
"You think she'll say anything Mr. Fumia?" The red head pressed the buttons on his game rapidly. 'Sai Bat Paw Sai.'(1)
"It's quite likely… I got a call from Miguel he said he's meeting up with his men to make a plan. I should be getting a call from him soon." As if on cue Mr. Fumia's cell phone rang and the two teens eyed the phone.
"Hello? Miguel? I see. Yes. If we must, yes okay I'll get my boy's on it. Yes I think they can handle it, I taught them well." Matt and Mello completely unaware to what was going on stared at their boss in silence.
"Okay Miguel, see you later." Fumia hung up and chuckled a bit.
"What's going on Dad?" An evil smile stretched across the older man's face.
"You boys remember what I taught you about guns right?"
(AN: The break isn't working so i'm just adding this ... or maybe if the break works then there's no need for this but ...i dunno (: chyeah
"Mr. Yagami?" Said man dropped the files in his hand on the desk before him and looked up to see Aizawa standing in his doorway.
"What is it?"
"The truck to deliver Aiber and Wedy to the prison is on its way."
"Good Aizawa, start preparing, we're going to leave soon." Aizawa left in a rush as Soichiro looked at the clock in his office.
'Miguel…'
The silence was killing Light. After he came from the bathroom the two males hadn't spoken once. The auburn haired boy was sitting in a chair away from the bed the lying injured boy was occupying. His chest rose and fell at a steady pace and he was looking out the window. The sun was covered by the clouds which all gathered together. The blue sky was now a dull grey. The warm autumn breeze was now cool, all of this meant it was going to rain soon. Light eyed the raven that looked like he hadn't acknowledged Light being here. The only sound in the room was the soft breathing of Lawliet and the stereo. He decided to be the one who broke the silence.
"So….Lawliet who were those guys that … you know.?" The raven's body transfixed as he slowly locked eyes with the auburn's. Light's eye's narrowed. The eyes that looked back at him were filled with hurt, terror, and loneliness.
'What's with Lawliet…' There was a long awkward silence between the two. Midnight black orbs still hadn't removed its gaze on that of the auburn teen's. 'Are we having a staring contest?' Gold-brown eyes narrowed as it stared harder at the dark pools that were Lawliet's eyes. The trees outside started to blow, the wind howling, and the sounds of light thunder threatening the world below of the showers that soon were to fall. Light's eyes started to twitch and that immediately made the pale boy's lips curve upwards to a, rather odd-looking, smile. The auburn boy was taken aback. 'This is the first time I've seen him smile…and I know why, that smile is plain creepy.' Salty liquid filled the amber eyes, but restrained himself from blinking them away. 'Damn…he makes it look so easy.' The black orbs were unwavered unlike the other sets of eyes. A couple tears rolled down Light's cheeks and his eyes began to sting which unintentionally blinked. A huge smile spread across Lawliet's face which made Light scowl.
"Fine, you win." Lawliet's smile vanished and he turned his attention back at the window. Rain started to fall from the misty sky. Anger flowed through Light's blood whilst balling his fists. 'Why isn't he talking to me? He didn't even answer my question.' The auburn boy let out a loud groan of frustration and slammed his fist on the table beside him, which caught the attention of the pale boy's.
"What's wrong Light-kun?" Burnt-sienna eyes widened. 'That's odd… I don't remember ever telling him my name.' He realized how stupid he was being. Light was the most popular student in the school and everybody knew his name. Even weird people.
"It's just that I helped you but you don't even acknowledge me nor do you answer any of my questions." The rain fell down harder saturating the ground. Lawliet slowly lifted himself up, groaning as pain seared through him. Light rushed over to help the boy up who scooted backwards so his back rested on the headboard of the bed. He gave out a long sigh and Light retreated back.
"By me not telling you anything is nothing but helping you, Light-kun. I'm sorry I have been ignoring you though, I was being thoughtless." Light's lips started to tremble not knowing what to form, a smile for the raven apologizing, or a frown for not providing a well enough explanation to why he didn't answer his question. He chose the latter.
"What are you talking about Lawliet? I want to know why those guys were hurting you. Did you do something to them? I doubt that some random people would just beat you up so viciously like that… Now that I think of it that blond guy did say you stole somebody important from him! Who'd you steal and why?!" Lawliet stared hard at Light; his blank face was now filled with anger and hurt, and Light was shocked.
"I don't know what Mello meant when he said I stole somebody from him… how can I when the only person precious to me was stolen from me?"
'Oh god… I hit a sore spot.' Light got up from his seat and walked over to the end of the bed keeping his eyes on Lawliet. The raven started to fidget with his fingers and looked down.
"I'm sorry Lawliet-kun." Pale fingers stopped fidgeting and he looked up at the boy sitting on the bed with him.
"It's not your fault so I don't need your apology." The raven looked away from Light and began fidgeting with his fingers again. Amber eyes still hadn't left Lawliet. Light studied the raven hard. His long black tresses fell in his inky eyes. Lawliet's cheeks were slightly pink and it matched perfectly with the soft pastel lips of his. Amber eyes narrowed as he saw the pale boy's neck and lower. He remembered when he first brought Lawliet to his room after he found him on the ground unconscious, he stripped off his shirt and was appalled at the sight. From his neck down to his abdomen was covered in whip lashes, and the most recent beatings left blue black bumps and bruises and cuts.
'If somebody was stolen from him why did that guy….Mello? Say to Lawliet that he stole somebody from him? Was that person originally Mello's? And Lawliet hit the jackpot and took that person from him? Or is it vice versa? This just doesn't make sense…'
"Thanks." Light's train of thought was interrupted. He looked up to see the raven's eyes on him, the same blank stare he had every time.
"Huh?"
"I said thank you, for helping me. I would have most likely been still out there in the rain." Light smiled warmly at the raven.
"Hey, are you hungry?"
"I don't think-" Lawliet's stomach grumbled, the two males looked at the noisy organ. The pale boy cursed under his breath whilst Light smiled evilly.
"I guess you are." The pale boy turned red as Light left the room to get some food. 'I can't tell you about me it will ruin your perfect life.'

Light ran downstairs and headed for the kitchen. The house was empty because his mother went grocery shopping and was due to come home soon and Sayu, his younger sister, was over at a friend's house. The teen opened the fridge and rummaged through some food. There wasn't much, a couple apples, a bowl of spaghetti, and strawberry cheesecake. He decided spaghetti would be good and reached out to get it. His hand grazed against the cream of the cheesecake as he grabbed the bowl. Light licked it clean.
"Mmm… I guess I can bring this cake for me, I haven't eaten anything when I got home anyway." With that Light took the bowl of spaghetti, the cheesecake, and two forks and sprinted up the stairs.
--
"Okay Lawliet I got you some spaghetti. I hope you like it." Light opened the door and stepped in; black eyes followed his every move. Light placed the cake on the table and walked over to the raven with the bowl of spaghetti. He placed the bowl in Lawliet's lap and walked over to his cake. 'This looks like worms in blood….not very appetizing.' The raven eyes his food in sheer disgust. The auburn boy sat on his chair and took his cake, he looked up to see if the pale boy began eating and frowned to see the boy hadn't touched his food. 'Does he want my cake…I think I'm going to tease him a bit to find out.'
Light heaved out a sigh to get the raven's attention and smiled when he saw dark coal eyes rivet on the cake in Light's hands, which was just as good. The pale boy watched as the chestnut-haired boy took his fork and dug into the sugar filled delight, his mouth watering. Light, making sure the raven was looking, brought the fork to his lips shooting a pink tongue out and licking off the icing. Lawliet's mouth dropped open. 'Mmm…Light, wait no it's the cheesecake that's delicious.' He abruptly closed it back but never left his gaze off the fork that was being abused by Light's tongue. After licking the icing clean off the cake he popped the chunk into his mouth and slowly pulled the fork out. 'Light…' The auburn haired boy put the fork down and sighed. The raven was still eyeing the cake in his lap, although he caught the pale boy staring at him several times also, and Light decided he teased the poor boy enough.
"Lawliet, do you want this?" Said boy shot his eyes up at the, now, smiling Light. He nodded his head and Light walked over to him and gave the cake. He took the unwanted and untouched bowl of spaghetti and walked over to the table placing it there for later. 'Oh wait I should give him his fork.' Light reached into the bowl and grabbed Lawliet's white fork, he turned around and found the raven taking a forkful of cake and stuffing it in his mouth.
"Hey wait, you just ate from my fork that i…licked off.'
"Mmh mm noh mmphf." Crumbs fell from Lawliet's mouth whilst trying to talk with his mouth full as he stared blankly at shocked auburn.
"Uh…what?" Lawliet masticated a bit more then swallowed the dessert.
"I am aware of that Light-kun." The raven, as if proving he wasn't lying, took another chunk of cake and put it in his mouth staring the auburn seductively. Light's cheeks started to warm up and he immediately turned away from the stoic boy.
'I can tease you also Light-kun.'
