I woke up before L for once. In most cases it would usually be L who woke me up at six in the morning. I was thinking about getting him back for always making us get up so early, like throw water on his face or something, but as I was starting to get out of the bed I stopped and looked over my shoulder. Not only had I forgotten about the handcuffs, but I hadn't noticed how peaceful L looked in his sleep either. He was completely relaxed and for some reason had a slight smile on his lips. He was… beautiful. I couldn't remember when I had stopped yelling at myself for thinking such thoughts, but it didn't even matter anymore. I was captivated. I hadn't even realised that I was starting to lean in towards him until he started to stir. I shot back, just barely missing hitting my head on the headboard of the bed. I shakily put my hand up to my mouth. Had I been about to… kiss… L?
Since this morning I had been feeling very awkward around L. I couldn't even look at him without being reminded of the events that had transpired that morning. I had been blushing almost the whole time feeling completely embarrassed.
"-ight. Light. Light Yagami!" I jolted out of my seat at the sound of L's voice which had broken me out of my thoughts. I gripped my chest, trying to slow my heartbeat.
"What? What is so important that you had to give me a heart attack," I asked him. He laughed. "What now?"
"Do you realise how ironic it would be if you of all people had a heart attack?" L replied. I snorted.
"Oh, yes. That would be hilarious except for the fact that I would be dead," I said sarcastically.
"Mmmm… I suppose that would be a shame," I swear my eye twitched, "since after all…" L turned towards me and looked slightly to the side. "Light is my first friend," he finished, smiling brightly with a slight pink colour on his cheeks. I took a step back, surprised, as a blush covered my own cheeks. What was with that unbearably cute face? My heart skipped a beat once again. What was happening with me? L frowned.
"Light are you alright? You look flushed," he said, concerned. I sat back down in my chair, trying to calm myself.
"Ah, no, I'm fine," I told him.
"Good, because today I have decided that we will be going outside," I stared at him in shock.
"No way! We are not wearing these outside, in public," I said holding up my arm with the handcuff on it.
"But I must keep you in my sight at all times," L replied with his usual blank face.
"I promise to stay near you at all times," He seemed to think about it.
"Fine, but if you escape me I will have you detained," I sighed in relief.
"Yeah, yeah,"
We had entered a large candy shop as I had thought that we would at some point in this trip. As soon as we had stepped into the store it was as if L had immediately transformed into a child. He was picking up different candies left and right. I went over to him and took some of the candy that was about to spill out of his hands.
"Thank you, Light," he said without even turning around.
"You know that you shouldn't eat so many sweets," I told him. He just hummed and continued on his way through the store. I followed him until I was stopped by an elderly woman.
"You two make such a cute couple," she said smiling kindly. I shook my head.
"N-no, we aren't-"
"Young love is so wonderful," she interrupted me, looking as if she was remembering something from her past. She suddenly came back to the present.
"He seems like one of those types that's hard to replace, you'd better hold onto him, dear," she said. I opened my mouth to tell her that she was wrong, that we weren't a couple, but then I looked back over to him and I felt a smile grace my lips.
"I will," I watched the old woman walk away with a smile on her face, then found my way back to L.
"Hey are we almost done here?" I asked L as he entered yet another candy shop. He nodded.
"Yes, this is the last one,"
"Thank goodness," I said relieved. We hadn't done much all day other than going to candy stores. Not exactly my idea of a fun day considering that I don't even like sweets. I followed L around the store, making sure that we didn't lose sight of each other since for some reason it was very crowded.
"You know Light, you really should try eating some sweets sometime," L told me suddenly.
"Why would I want to do that?" I asked confused as to way he would say something like that.
"Don't you know? You are what you eat. That means if you eat a lot of sweets then you must be sweet, right?" he said turning to stare at me very seriously. I sighed.
"Yeah, yeah. Are you almost done?" L picked up one more piece of candy. We paid and finally went back to the task force headquarters.
I set the last few bags of candy onto the floor.
"Jeez, L. What do you do with all of this?" Luckily at some point in the day, L had gotten Watari to get him a car to carry around all of his sweets, but it still took at least five trips to get everything inside.
"What a silly question, Light. I'm going to eat it of course," L stated as if it were a normal occurrence for one person to eat so much candy, although I suppose that it was normal to him.
I lied in the bed with my arms behind my head. What was wrong with me? I was now even blushing when he smiled or made a cute face, I'm also calling him cute. I groaned quietly, not wanting to wake L up who had immediately fallen asleep when his head had hit the pillow. It made me want to tear my hair out in frustration. Also, what had possessed me to say that to the old woman? My thoughts were interrupted by a yawn as I realised that I was also extremely tired from the day of candy shopping. I shifted into a more comfortable position to sleep. My problems could wait until tomorrow morning.
