Day Four: That
-x-
Being a muse is far more difficult than Light anticipated.
He has to be obsessed to even indulge mildly in L's act of repentance. Though, he did ruin three days worth of work and only Kira would be heartless enough to refuse.
Well, he is Kira, but with L's death date soon approaching, more suspicions pointed towards him would only ruin it.
"Ryuzaki."
...
"Ryuzaki."
...
"Listen!"
L snaps back to reality, swiftly moving his head away from his soon to be masterpiece when Light's screech reaches his ears. Light has noticed that L enters some sort of trance after hours of concentration, which at first was intriguing, but is now utterly annoying. Especially when you're trying to grasp the attention of said detective. His eyes dilate when they scurry away from the painting, retreating back to their usual, moon-like form, and stare at Light intensively.
"I apologized. Can I please put my shirt back on?" Light seethes, demanding rather than asking.
"No, Light-kun. My muse is entirely much more amusing when he is shirtless."
"Misa was right you are a pervert."
"I did not know you indulged Amane-san's theories, Light-kun," L adds something to the canvas rather quickly, as if suddenly struck with an epiphany, and turns back towards Light, "Call me what you wish. You will not see my other paintings until this one is finished."
Light huffs before posing once more.
"Light-kun is an incredible actor."
Had he really made himself so obvious? "Thanks... I suppose."
"A trait Kira possesses."
"I am not Kira."
"Whatever helps Light-kun sleep at night," L says with a slight smirk that soon withers into impassiveness.
Light sneezes.
Profoundly.
"Is Light-kun catching a cold?"
"Gee, I don't know. Maybe me being half nude has nothing to-" He sneezes again, interrupting his own sarcasm.
"Hm... This makes the painting more geniune. I want Light-kun to behave as if he is cold and sickly."
"I shouldn't have any trouble with that..." Light rolls his eyes, "Just what exactly is the theme of your painting?"
"You will know nothing of the painting until completion. That is the way art works, Light-kun."
"Now I know why I've never been fond of art. Artists are insane."
"Kira is insane."
"Don't imply."
"I am doing no such thing. I am merely pointing out a fact."
"Yeah, alright, Ryuzaki," Another rolling of the eyes, and Light most definitely has no problem with posing and doesn't falter in the least.
A/N: Short, yes. But this is the calm before the storm.
Is it strange that the T.V. was left on in my room as I was writing this, the show "Chowder" was on and Chowder was getting his portrait painted and said "Now that I'm young forever, I am the perfect muse!" Ah, Chowder xD
