I don't own death note :( sad face
"I'm investigating things that begin with the letter M" said the Mad Hatter on the screen.
L looked over at Light. "As am I."
"As are you what?" Light looked confused at the detective.
"I'm investigating things that begin with the letter M, like the Mad Hatter is in the film." L explained. "Let me think... Mysterious, Murderous, Mellow, Manipulative and the best for last Monster. Monster is a good M word don't you think Light?"
Light was far from dumb he knew what L was tricking him into 'that'
conversation.
"Monster.." Lights eyes practically bulged out of his eyes.
"Yes Light monster, now explain why you thought, more like think yourself a monster." L sat up from his relaxed position starring intently at the younger man. "Light-kun there are no cameras in here do not hesitate. Do you not trust me?"
Light looked into the detective's immense dark eyes. Lights mind was on fire, all he wanted to do was tell L, but no he couldn't. Could he? L would turn him in and then he would be executed, well isn't that what Light wanted anyway? Death. He began physically shaking. L, the only person Light Yagami has ever loved. The last thing he wanted to do was disappoint him, 'but I already have' thought Light. 'Whats done is done'. He thought of all L's sleepless nights, him biting his nails in fret, going to all extremes just to find Kira, who was in front of him. He would not let the one he loved work go to waste, not this time. 'For L.' the murderer thought. 'Only for L.'
Light looked up into the mans eyes, taking a deep breath before wishing his death sentence. "L, I uh I..."
"Go head Light, please tell me, tell me why you have hurt yourself."
"I am a horrible monster who deserves only a horrible death. I never wanted it! I just.." Stop making excuses and tell him thought Light. " I'm Kira. I. Am. Kira." His face fell.
The pair starred at each other as if waiting for the other to make a move. They were sitting the sofa bodies facing one another.
"I already knew, but I'm glad you told me yourself."
"Go ahead then Lawliet, tell the task force and turn me in. I'll go willingly, I promise." Light clasped a hand over his mouth realizing he said the detectives real name. L eyes got bigger on shock.
"What... How!? If you know my name why haven't you killed me yet?" For once in his life L was lost.
"I could ask you the same thing you know. You knew I was Kira but did nothing. I figured your name out when I over heard Watari scolding you about sweets a couple months back. I have no desire to kill, especially you. I do not wish for these powers any longer, I wold give them up but I am frightened to whom they may go to next. Therefore I will die with the death note so the world will be free of Kira." Light didn't say he planned on dying within days, L didn't need to know that.
"Light-kun wishes death? Don't think such things it saddens me."
"You must turn me in Lawliet."
"I do not want to."
"You have to."
"No I don't."
"It's your job L."
"I'll quit."
"I'm a murderer arrest me!"
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Why not!?"
"I don't know."
"I love you! God dam it! Your the one I have ever loved! Not even my you have to turn me in!"
They both froze at Light's statement. Light blushed furiously. At this point they were both standing unaware the conversation turned into yelling.
"Oh." Was all L could manage. Suddenly the door opened to reveal Watari.
"I heard yelling is everything alright?" The man seemed quite concerned. L nodded his head hoping his was not blushing. Before either could do anything Light bolted through the door away from both of them. Watari looked at L.
"He ... He ... What does love feel like Watari?" he cocked his head up at the old man. Watari took L's hands and sat them both down on the sofa.
"You love him? Then you know it feels better than anything on earth. You are willing to put anything past you just to be with them, you never stop thinking about them, and bad things about them don't seem that bad. Like them being Kira."
"Were you ever in love Watari?"
"That's a story for another day dear boy." Watari gave him a gentle smile. "Right now you must focus on the present. How much are willing to do or give up for him?"
"Anything-" Watari put a finger to his lips.
"Don't tell me, tell him." He pointed to the door. "Before it's to late."
L hugged his father figure and whispered "Thank you Wammy."
He thought about all the dead, all the human lives wasted. About the familys who grieved. How he was responsible. He thought about L, the only person he ever truly loved. How much he wanted to be held by him one last time. Even though he didn't deserve it. He thought about that he, himself, Light Yagami, Japans best student, the flawless handsome genius, was a monster. A murderous monster. He was Kira and Kira was him. And the one person he loved would never feel the same. He took one last look at the world then stood on the edge of the skyscraper looking down. This was it, he would die here and now. He took a breath and leaned forward with one face in his mind as he fell.
The face had porcelain white skin, wild out of control raven hair, he wanted to run his fingers through it. His eyes were huge black beauties, most people saw them blank but not Light, Light saw them full of emotion. The mans smile made Light melt, he showed no teeth, it was cute. Light then saw flashes of memory of the man he loved so dearly. Playing tennis after they first met and having coffee flashed through his head Then he saw something that hasn't happened. He saw himself sitting on the mans lap, they were holding each other on a sofa, smiling warmly at three young teens who were playing with a toddler on the floor before them.
Light was pulled to reality as warm tears streamed down his face. He took a moment to realize he wasn't falling to death he was stopped. He look up to see L half way off the building himself, clutching Lights torso.
"You fucking bastard! I realize the feelings I have for you are love and you go kill yourself! Forgot about falling to you death I'm going to drag you back up here and kill you myself!" L was sure stronger then looked, he hoisted Light up onto the roof. Light stared in awe at the man he loved.
"You, you love me?" Light asked hopefully new tears began to flow from his eyes.
"Yes, I do with all my heart. Don't cry, come here." L wrapped his arms around Light. Light flashed back to his vision before L caught him.
"But I'm Kira!"
"I. Don't. Care."L smiled down at the shaking body. "And don't worry I have a plan. I will tell you later. Right now let's get you inside."
"Am I dead?" Light asked quite seriously. L smiled that smile and shook his head, then put one arm under Lights knees and the other his neck and lifted him bridle style. Carrying him gently off the roof top onto a flight of stairs inside. Light had never been to this staircase before, they were very wide and the ceiling extremely tall. L sat him down and then sat himself down slightly bellow Light. The two sat in silence for a moment before L spoke.
"You know Light there are monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster. Light you are no monster, I am."
Light blinked then said. "I am still a monster just a different type, maybe we can be monsters together? Together we can rid each other of our monsters and demons." To anyone else that would almost be an insult saying you are a monster but to them it was a statement of Light asking if they could be together.
"I would like that." L said softly. Light slowly leaned in to L placing his lips gently on his. To Lights surprise L kissed back, his lips were warm and gentle.
They sat there together holding each other, monsters of society together.
The next morning Light and L woke in each others arms in L's bed. They looked at one another smiles plastered to their faces. Light was far from mentally stable yet, but simply having L made it better. And L was still unsure about how to handle a relationship, but he wanted Light more than anything. Then the bliss ended when the couple looked at the clock. 9:02. Light gave a gave off a high pitched squeal. L chuckled softly.
"Don't you fucking laugh at me! I don't have time to take a shower! And my hair product is in my room!" Light fumed.
"Heh your cute when your mad." Light glared. "Watari brought most of your things here they are already in the dresser and the bathroom."
Light scrambled to the dresser picking out brown slacks, a white collared bottom up and a an orange tie. Before L made it out of bed Light was in the bathroom frantically getting ready. L laughed to himself, Light use to make L get up two hours early so that he could properly get ready. L simply striped down to his boxers and went to pick out todays clothes.
"L I was wondering..." he blushed seeing L half naked. L smirked. " Ahhh never mind!" the bathroom door quickly slammed shit again.
They managed to make it downstairs within fifteen minutes to spare. As soon as they walked in the kitchen Watari sat them down on the bar stools that belly up to the island counter for breakfast. He made eggs and bacon today with no sweets for L.
"Thanks Watari! This looks delicious! You need to teach me your tricks sometime." Watari beamed back at Light.
"That would be great. Now make sure he eats it all Light I must attend to something."
Light leaned over to L and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Eat up Mr.!"
L groaned. "It doesn't have sugar! It is less than 1% chance I'll eat that!"
"Well as you taught me L even 1% is possible, and in this instance will happen."
Light stabbed the eggs with his fork. "Open up!"
"Nooooo!" L threw himself on the floor dodging Light. Light went down after him laughing. L ran to the other side of the island, Light followed quickly. They an around the kitchen, L screaming in protest, Light laughing his head off.
"Come here Lawliet!"
Light tackles L to the ground pinning him still. L clamped his mouth shut refusing to open as Light to pry it open. Light grinned evilly then began kissing L passionately, gaining entrance to his mouth he pushed his tongue in. he pulled back and L reclined his mouth.
"So you'll open for make out sections huh?" Light taunted, L grinned and nodded. "Eat the eggs!"
Light started to tickle L relentlessly. They both couldn't stop laughing. "Lighhh- tt stttttop-op! " L laughed harder.
Neither noticed the task force and Misa walk in staring at them. Light pinning L down tickling him.
"Not till you eat your breakfast!" Light shouted.
"NEVER!" L laughed.
They both froze seeing their company. Glancing at each other Light jumped off L and L sat up. Light started to explain as much as he could.
"I was errr trying to get L... Uh I mean Ryuzaki to eat a non-sugar Breakfast but he would open his mouth so I tickled him..." Light baffled.
The task force nodded and walked out. Wow they were stupid was all Light, L, and Misa thought. Misa glanced between the two nodding. "Righhhht". She said and walked out to leave it to them.
The lovers made eye contact then broke back into hystarical laughing.
Misa-Amane was a fake in almost every way. For one she faked to be IN love with Light-kun, she loved him but was not in love with him at all, and she faked being so dumb. She made the connection between Light and L long ago like way long ago. She was actually the one who talked to Watari about setting them up.
All she wanted was their happiness and maybe they took a step closer to it but not enough it was time to take things into her own her hands. She had a pretty good plan, she would start out simple. Misa smirked her actress carrier would come in handy it seems.
Misa saw Light and L talking in the hallway outside the investigation room. 'Perfect' she thought.
"Lighhhhhhhttttttttt!" Misa squealed as she ran and gave him a hug. 'I most seem so annoying' she thought. "It's our date day!" she turned to L "Ryuzaki remember you promised you'd let us have a couple dates! Well I chose today!" Before either protest she added. "how about you come with me and my Light! You could use some time out of this building you know, and you can make sure we aren't Kira or whatever!" Misa kept her bubbily act the whole time, smiling hugely.
"Uhhh... Misa where did you want to go?" asked Light
"That coffee shop downtown it has the best chocoate cake in Tokyo!" Misa laughed inwardly she had trapped L.
"Yeah good plan Misa! We do need to get out and you need a date lets go!" A now enthusiastic L exclaimed running toward the door.
When they got to the coffee shop Misa was beyond happy everything was going perfect! They got the most private seating in the back. After sitting a waitress came over take their orders.
"Can we please have one coffe, black, one calm tea, a Shelly Temple and two slices of chocolate cake please?" Light asked politely. He already knew what each of them always wanted.
"Actually no Sherry Temple, I gotta go to work now! Byeeee!" Misa winked a the waitress who she informed ahead of time the plan so she could get Lights favorite seating. With that Misa ran out.
"Wait what?" the pair exchanged a confused look.
"Well Light-kun since Misa-Amane has left I guess it is not just us.. Does this make this a date?" asked L. Light smiled at his socially awkward friend.
"Well typically you go on dates with you boyfriend or girlfriend. Are you my boyfriend L?" Light smiled at the thought.
"Hmm I hope so I want you to be my boyfriend."
"As do I. So this a date." Light smiled.
"hehehe aww here is your coffee, tea, and cake!" the waitress looked quite pleased. The two blushed and thanked her.
L started pouring sugar packs into his tea he stopped at thirteen because Light glared at him. He then downed on his cake. Light sipped his coffee. "Mmhhhmmm"
L smirked. "Your moaning to your coffee? Can't wait till I get you in bed. Ow!" Light hit him on the side of his head. He then took L's fork and took a piece of the chocolate cake, there were only two bites left.
"Open wide..." Light whispered seducingly. L gladly did so, being fed by Light was fun. Light cut the last bite in half putting half in L's mouth. Then he took piece and ate it. His bottom lip covered in icing. He heard the waitress giggle but ignored it, he was having fun.
"You ate MY cake! No one eats my cake!"
Before Light registered what was going on L lean into him and kissed him, licking the chocolate off his lips. "Mmmmmm" they both moaned.
"Aawww OMG! You two are my new favorite couple! Misa will be soooo happy! She thought it would have taken longer!" the stupid waitress talked to much. The lovers glanced at each other eyes saying, what.
"What do you mean Misa will be happy?" Light inquired.
"Oh well she set you too up, we are roommates well she couldn't live at our place for a couple months I'm not sure why but yeah we are back to being roommates and shes been trying to set you to up for ages! But apparently you two were to busy arguing to notice! But NOW your together! Yay! Oh btw Misa took care of the check you can leave when your ready!" she squealed once more and walked away most defiantly going to call Misa.
The lovers look into each others eyes and smiled maybe things weren't gonna be so bad. Watari and Misa were on there side, now they had over the task force. Oh and Lights dad.
