Host: Well done for making it to chapter 10. We apologise for the delay though we are hoping this chapter will more than make up for it. For starters we are no longer in the hotel arc YAY! So expect a lot more instant messaging and texting in this chapter. We're very glad that you seem to be having as much fun reading this as we had writing this and so without further ado here is chapter 10.
***
L had to help Light walk around occasionally-- he could hardly feel his legs.
"I... Uh guess this is what people mean when they say about being screwed till they can't walk," Light said as he tried not to lean so much on L now they had just entered head quarters.
"Heeeheee, isn't it a great feeling?" L joked. "I guess this means tonight is a no. right?"
"As long as the surveillance and Matsuda continue to be a problem then you're right. It is a no." Squaring his shoulders he walked in to the room to face his father.
"Do you need an Advil?"
"LIGHT! What is the meaning of this? Where have you and Ryuzaki been?" Soichiro roared and Light flinched, forgetting L's question. "This is the Kira investigation for crying out loud. I thought that I could expect a little more dedication and maturity than this."
"He went to visit-- I mean... recently, I've been seeing how overwork has been taking it's toll on your son since he's not accustomed to working my hours, and I felt like yesterday he deserved a break. I took him horseback riding."
"If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut Ryuzaki. I know what happened and where you went so don't even think for a moment I would believe such a pathetic excuse." Light looked over at L as his father spoke and his eyes had an 'I told you so' expression.
"Who told you where we were? They have it all wrong."
"That's it. Today you can both stay on opposites sides of the room and maybe you can catch up on some of the work you missed," Soichiro said cutting L's babbling off. "Next time check with my son before you come up with an excuse because my son has been terrified of horses for years."
Are you serious!?!? L thought bitterly. That was perfect!!! "... He got over it?"
"I doubt it he could get over something like that quite so quickly."
"... I'm a miracle worker?"
"We took him to ten specialists and none had any effect." Light meanwhile was blushing as he watched his dad so vehemently defend his phobia.
"... Light-kun was afraid of horses? It must be my presence then-- I never knew." L said, surprised.
An evil look came into Soichiro's eyes and he crept up behind Light making a soft clip-clopping sound and Light jumped out of reflex and barely controlled a scream as he fought to look around.
"See?" was the smug reply.
"That was cruel, Yagami-san!"
"And you were determined to keep lying to me."
"Must have been a dream then." L said, justifying himself without losing face as Light sweat dropped.
"Ok, get cleaned and be back here in twenty minutes."
"Yes Daddy." L said under his breath, walking toward the stairs.

Matsuda says:
Haaaai!!
Aizawa says:
Hello Matsuda
Mogi says:
Hey.
Soichiro says:
Am I the only one doing any work around here?
Aizawa says:
Ever hear of multitasking, Soichiro-san?
Soichiro says:
Yes and I can see you are also playing an online card game
Soichiro says:
Very productive
Aizawa says:
... Poker IS productive.
Mogi says:
So...What's up everybody?
Aizawa says:
Stand up and look around. There really isn't any point asking.
Matsuda says:
Chief-san, it's been twenty three minutes.
Matsuda:
Chief???
Aizawa says:
They're in for it now
***
L tried to get Light out of the bathroom. "Your hair looks fine, let's just go before your dad--"
"L, LIGHT?!"
"... Kills me." Light's shirt was still off from the shower he had taken minutes ago and the bruises stood out darkly against his golden skin.
"SHIT!" Light swore under his breath. L said much more colourful things.
"Be right out, Soichiro. Light is fixing his hair. No lie."
"Then you won't mind." The door swung open and Soichiro's eyes bulged at the sight. L managed to keep a straight face.
"...He took pain medicine."
***
Matsuda says:
Oh God-- I can hear the Chief now-- I wonder what L and Light were doing, then...
Aizawa says:
…Pervert.
Mogi says:
I think it's more what they spent yesterday doing rather than them actually getting caught doing anything.
Aizawa says:
Probably. They were gone for the whole day, after all.
Matsuda says:
Hehehe, I kind of know what happened."
Aizawa says:
YOU DIDN'T!!!!
Matsuda says:
... What do you mean
Aizawa says:
I MEAN you better not have done anything that would give Light reason to abstain and thus giving L a reason to KILL you and say it was Kira
Matsuda says:
Actually, I texted Ryuzaki and pissed him off enough for him to accidentally tell me.
Aizawa says:
Oh is that all
Matsuda says:
There was probably more but all I know is that one time Light rode L cowboy style ;D
Mogi says:
More is a given from the fact Light could barely walk
Aizawa says:
L should let Light have a go a few times so that he's not so incapable of walking.
Ryuuzaki says:
....You were saying?
Matsuda says:
OMGLSOSORRYDIDN'TTHINKYOUWEREON!!!!
Ryuzaki says:
Evidently.
Ryuuzaki says:
You were saying something about Light topping me or did I read the sentence wrong?
Aizawa says:
I only meant once or twice. Can't you give him that?
Mogi says:
Seriously-- he's not able to walk today.
Ryuuzaki says:
No
Ryuuzaki says:
I don't think he even want's that in any case
Matsuda says:
Have you ever asked him?
Ryuuzaki says:
I don't have to
Matsuda says:
He could appreciate the gesture.
Light says:
What gesture?
Ryuuzaki says:
They are under the impression that you have a secret desire to top me
Light says:
Oh... XO
Ryuzaki says:
Yes, it's very strange.
Light says:
So what did you say?
Ryuzaki says:
I don't think you want to top me.
Light says:
Ok... Would you want me to top you?
***
Ryuzaki didn't even have to answer. He turned from the computer and gave Light an incredulous look.
"No!"
***
Ryuzaki says:
I mean no.
Light says:
I didn't think so
Mogi says:
See? Only give them help if they ASK for it.
Light says:
You thought we needed help?
Aizawa says:
Not really.
Aizawa says:
If you can manage to not make him walk and he's not royally pissed off at you-- you've got things figured out.
Light says:
Don't worry, because of Matsuda I refuse to do it again here and I doubt my dad will let me go anywhere for a fair while after yesterdays stunt.
Ryuzaki says:
-- I had a comment I shouldn't say in mixed company...
***
Light turned and looked over at L.
"That is?"
"I was going to say that it's only a few months until you're legal and you could move in with your beloved boyfriend."
"L in case you have forgotten I turned 18 in February and it's June now."
"I forgot because I was looking into your eyesss..." Light chuckled at the cheesy comment.
***
Light says:
I can't believe you just said that
Ryuzaki says:
You liiike it.
Light says:
You're lucky I do.
Ryuzaki says:
Or what?
Light says:
Or I would think you didn't mean them
Ryuzaki says:
How else could I forget how old you were if I wasn't distracted?
Light says:
How could you forget full stop
Ryuzaki says:
... I don't really know-- your eyes ARE beautiful though.
Aizawa says:
Ok that's enough you love birds. You're going to make me sick; the two of you are so sweet.
Ryuzaki says:
But don't you agree, Suichi-san? The perfect almond shape and the smooth, deep caramel colour lined with thick black eyelashes? Does it get any more perfect?
Mogi says:
What the shit was THAT?!
Aizawa says:
I don't know
Matsuda says:
WOW XD
***
Ryuzaki didn't answer; he stared lazily at his computer screen, daydreaming about Light's perfect eyes.
***
Light says:
Ryuuzaki? Please don't tell me your day dreaming about my eyes.
***
No answer from L, who had moved on to day dream about Light's perfect smile.
***
Aizawa says:
Are you going to do anything about him?
Matsuda says:
*pokes* Liiiight?
Light says:
What do want me to do?
Mogi says
He's too romantic. It's SCARING me, and the Saw movies are my favourites.
Light says:
If I try to go over there my dad will stop me
Matsuda says:
Probably, but he's scaring me. He's supposed to always be horny, not romantic!
Light says:
As I said... What am I supposed to do about it? Besides I like this romantic side of him
Aizawa says:
Seriously?
Light says:
*nods*
Mogi says:
Wow. Okay.
Light says:
Yeah
Ryuzaki says:
... Hiii Light, Touta, Kanzo, Suichi..."
Light says:
Hi
Ryuzaki says:
I love you.......
Light says:
I love you too
Mogi says:
...
Aizawa says:
...
Matsuda says:
D'aw.
Light says:
What were you doing before?
Ryuzaki says:
Nothing out of the ordinary, I always think of you. 3
***
Light felt tempted to stand up and kiss L, but a warning look from his dad kept him in his seat. L made an angry face to Soichiro when he wasn't looking.
***
Light says:
Maybe later
Ryuzaki says:
*nods fervently*
Aizawa says:
XO
Ryuzaki says:
Yes Aizawa?
Aizawa says:
Nothing
Ryuzaki says:
We aren't talking about sex, dumb arse.
Matsuda says:
D:
Light says:
Could you at least pretend that you aren't a fucking pervert Matsuda?
Matsuda says:
No.....
Ryuzaki says:
I'm the only one who can have a mind in the gutter, got it?
Light says:
Something like that. Now Matsuda, my dad is feeling very cranky today and needs someone to rage at... I could always tell him that you were spying on me. I'm sure that would go done well.
Matsuda says:
Until later, you two
***Matsuda has signed off***
Ryuzaki also signed off, glaring at Matsuda again from across the room. Deciding to sign off too, Light spun around to face his glaring lover and smirked. L was still a bit pissed at the dim-witted detective.
"Matsuda I think should leave if you value you life." Light suggested chuckling.
"But-- L can't really kill me!"
"You're willing to bet your life on a person who is not only angry, but also knows how to cover his tracks." Light's voice was now silky and he moved to stand beside L. L laughed and cracked his knuckles, leering at Matsuda. "Changed your mind yet Matsuda?" Annoyance was now evident in Light's tone as the moron refused to budge.
"Remember, I know where you sleep," L said, grinning evilly. Light glared now too and for a second Matsuda wondered if that look had killed him and his body had just taken its time to fall. Aizawa and Mogi looked over from their computers, wondering what was going on.
"Ah-eh... well I... I better get going? Bye." Light rolled his eyes at Matsuda's stuttered response and the man bolted from the room.
"Hahaha, dumbass." L laughed.
"Yeah." A movement caught Light's eye and he saw Aizawa motion to the computer. Walking back over to take a seat he sat down and logged on.
***
Light says:
What is it?
Aizawa says:
What's going on?
Light says:
What do you mean?
Light says:
Nothings going on
Mogi says:
With Matsuda.
Light says:
What about him?
*** L logs in as Appear Offline ***
Aizawa says:
He looked pretty scared.
Light says:
It was just Matsuda being a perverted moron again
Mogi says:
Ugh, what else is new?
Light says:
Apparently he can't take a hint either unless it's coated in murderous intent
Aizawa says:
*makes mental note*
Light says:
I'm guessing that's what you were asking about?
Mogi says:
What do you mean?
Light says:
You were asking about before and let's just say it took a few rather large threats and glares to get Matsuda to leave
Mogi:
Yep, that's what we were asking about. It's wonderfully quiet here now!
Aizawa says:
XD Yes, it is.
Light says:
Did you know Matsuda was texting L yesterday while we were out?
Aizawa says:
It wasn't horseback riding, but I can assume...
Light says:
We were both rather pissed off that he interrupted only to ask perverted questions
Light says:
Is dad online?
Mogi says:
Nope.
Light says:
That's good… though it would have been interesting.
Aizawa says:
Really?! He'd kill L! You wouldn't want that, would you?
Light says:
He wouldn't kill L but he WOULD kill Matsuda
Mogi says:
Heh. THAT I could live with.
Light says:
lol
Aizawa says:
I'd be willing.
Light says:
Do you know how hard it is to get Ryuuzaki to keep his hands off me while we're at work?
Mogi says:
*Snickers* How hard?
Light says:
He pinched my butt while I was glaring at Matsuda
Aizawa says:
Ha, I saw that.
Light says:
Then there are all the times he feels the need to hug me and grind against me at the same time.
Mogi says:
Also a witness xD
Light says:
Well he does it often enough
Aizawa says:
Not well...
Light says:
Not really
Mogi:
I saw him practically try to do you standing up before.
Light says:
Don't remind me
Aizawa says:
He needs to know how to keep it in the bedroom and in his pants.
Light says:
Well keep it to wherever that no one else can access... Especially Matsuda
Ryuzaki says:
*Shudders*
Light says:
...
Aizawa says:
...
Mogi says:
...
Ryuzaki says:
I could have sworn you enjoyed every bit of the vertical sex.
Light says:
I didn't want to be enjoying it there
Ryuzaki says:
Heh. I like that answer.
Mogi says:
Aizawa, this is where it gets good.
Aizawa says:
Oh my.
Light says:
Mogi, did you just ask Watari for some popcorn?
Mogi says:
Don't be silly!
Light says:
Then what are you eating now?
Mogi says:
It's not 'some popcorn' it's a 'bowl of popcorn'.
Light says:
lol
Mogi says:
And I like popcorn.
Light says:
I can see that
Aizawa says:
Whatever. Just keep talking.
Ryuzaki says:
... Anyway, you like when I grind you when I hug you.
Light says:
Aizawa, did you get that graph done with the information I sent you?
Ryuzaki says:
Light-chan, don't make me come over there for ignoring me!
Light says:
So did you?
***Aizawa and Mogi sign in as appear offline***
Light says:
Ok... so maybe I do
Light says:
Wait... Aizawa, Mogi I know you are both still online
Aizawa says:
... No we're not!
Lights says:
Aizawa I will ask one more time did you do the graph?
Aizawa says:
You're not my boss!
Light says:
Because I REALLY wouldn't want to have to do it myself
Mogi says:
You're young, kid. You can do whatever you want and not get overworked.
Light says:
And you REALLY don't want to make me
Ryuzaki says:
I'm your boss, and I say do it.
Light says:
Well L, sweetie be prepared for complete abstinence for at least three weeks
Ryuzaki says:
Well? Get to work, Aizawa!!
Light says:
I already have to graph all the statistics of the employees of Yotsuba
Ryuzaki says:
Mogi, stop laughing.
Light says:
I thought you might see things my way
Ryuzaki says:
That's blackmail!!!!!!
Light says:
No it's fact. I would have had to work till 3am every night for the three weeks to get this done and I would have gotten VERY tired and VERY cranky. I probably would have turned violent if you decided to try anything
Light says:
So no, not blackmail
Ryuzaki says:
... Fine. It's not blackmail....
Light says:
Thank you for requesting Aizawa do it though Ryuuzaki
Ryuzaki says:
....You're welcome?
***
Standing, Light strode over to where L sat and gave him a lingering kiss on the cheek.
"I'm very grateful." Straightening up again he turned to go back to the computer.
***
Mogi says:
Awwwww, look at L's face.... 3
***
Light turned and winked at L as he read this.
***
Aizawa says:
Awww, you're right! It IS cute!
Light says:
Ryuuzaki, how does it feel, knowing we all think you look adorable right now?
***
Ryuzaki didn't notice the messages and just stared out into space.
***
Light says:
He's completely out to it
Light says:
I hope he doesn't start talking about my eyes and stuff again
Light says:
That was weird
Light says:
Ok... I thought it was cute too
Mogi says:
Yeah, he is. Someone go hit him on the back of the head?
Light says:
Don't even think about it
Mogi says:
You're rambling, Light!
Aizawa says:
Yeah, you're kind of going on about it.
Ryuzaki says:
*comes out of daze*
Light says:
*Ignoring other two* you looked very cute just then Ryuzaki
Ryuzaki says:
What is this?! You're the cute one!!
Light says:
Majority vote
Light says:
You are officially cute
***
Ryuzaki stood and walked over to Aizawa and Mogi.
"I AM NOT THE CUTE ONE! HE IS!!" Aizawa and Mogi's hands flew up in surrender.
"Sorry, but you really did look cute like that." Mogi stated, trying to reason with his boss. L's eye twitched
".... Not cute!!" Without L's notice, Light had crept up behind L and kissed him on the cheek again.
"Cute."
"I HATE ALL OF YOU…! EXCEPT LIGHT!" L yelled, sitting back in his seat, moping. Smiling, Light went over and hugged HIS L, his arms wrapping around L's waist. L turned around and kissed him on the lips just as sweetly as Light had. Light blushed as he remembered that they weren't alone. L grinned at Light. "You're very good at distracting me."
"I guess I am," Light replied cheekily. L ran his fingers through Light's hair.
"We've also neglected work for a while."
"You mean YOU have."
"Hehe, well..." L said. "Yeah, you're right. I'm going to actually work today. Will you try not to distract me?"
"Ok, as long as you don't distract me." Standing, Light returned to the graphs he was creating before he got interrupted.
"Agreed," L said, smiling at him. "I love you." Light sighed in mock irritation as he turned to face L.
"I love you too." L grinned and went back to his work.

Host: So I guess I exaggerated on the text part, but the WAS a lot of instant messaging going on. Hope you all liked this chapter and sorry for the delay.
