AN: Hello again,
I've kept my promise... updated before two weeks (: AND no more cliffies yay!
Also you should know you guys are amazing, the reviews, alerts and favourites I got were so great!
So I'm not 100% sure on this chapter, undecided if I like it but blahhh
Disclaimering
I really hope you enjoy *trying to make up for the cliffie here n.n; *
Light's eyes flew open at that. Screw the promise. He was against a wall, like he had suspected, with L's hands on either side of his head. Their breathing mingled and warmed the insignificant inches between their mouths.
That had been the last thing he expected to hear... 'It makes me wonder why... you do nothing'. Does that mean he... he likes me back? You know what! Fuck it, only one way to find out.
The teenager tried to start again, "L..." but nothing would come out. Light's mind could figure out no other way to ask his question so he mustered all of his courage. He tilted his head slightly and leaned forward. After all this yearning it better be worth... His lips brushed L's and his mind blanked. If Light were into clichés he would have said something like 'time stood still' or 'in that moment L was everything' but that is not the young genius at all.
The fact of the matter was that L's lips were intoxicating, so silky, and they tasted... God he couldn't even describe how they tasted! Light just wanted more of it, to be surrounded by it, enveloped in L. How he wanted to go further! But it was the case of a young child receiving a new toy that they wanted and then having no idea what to do with it. So there Light stood, lips pressed against L's, taking in shallow breathes and a fear of rejection, still, welling in his chest.
And just like that the raven haired man pushed the teenager away.
L's eyes were glazed over and an emotion Light had never seen within them was present. A pale hand lifted to stroke Light's tanned cheek, resting to hold his face. Then suddenly there was a hand in auburn tresses, the other teasing a hip and not to mention that warm, wet and agile tongue working its way into the teen's mouth.
God... uhh. He's kissing me back. He does like me! Fuck yes. Mmm so, so good. L...! Why didn't I do this sooner!
It wasn't soft, or gentle. It held so much more than that... want, passion, need, lust. Waiting had obviously taken its toll and L's hands were everywhere! Their lips crashed together in sync, their bodies reacting quickly and L's tongue was dancing within the teen's mouth. It felt like his body was burning, even with so little stimulation. Deep within his throat Light let loose a husky moan and lifted his arms to wrap around L's neck to drag him in closer. Closer than what physics would allow.
Breaking the kiss Light moved his lips to the other man's ear. In a, hopefully, seductive voice he whispered, "Do you want to take this somewhere more private?"
L's grip tightened on L's hips, where they had been teasing moments ago. His reply was still husky but laced with a hint of venom and hurt, "What exactly does Light-Kun want from me?"
"I-I just thought we could... you know. We're both adults." It seemed like an easier thing to say at the time than 'L I want you, all of you. I'd like to be your boyfriend because I've had these crazy arsed feelings for you that seem like love- but they're not, they're just 'like' or something along those lines. Plus I always have these hot as hell dreams about you and I need to know if they can be a reality.' Yes, what Light said was a little less complex but...
L construed it the wrong way.
He stepped backwards, away from Light. "Is that all I am Light? A good time? A one night stand? I believe I have made myself fairly obvious on this matter and yet Light chooses to ignore it! I'm going home. Talk to me when you've decided what you really want..."
And with that L turned his back and jogged off, still in his slouch, leaving Light speechless and beyond confused still against that god forsaken wall.
You.
Just.
Fucked.
Up.
Your.
Chance.
Reality eventually struck again and Light replay his own words through his mind. He came to the conclusion that it did sound like he wanted nothing more than to take it up the arse and then forget about it. How could he have been so friggan stupid! At that point he really wanted to bash his head against the wall but he was too distraught to move. Not to mention the rational part of his brain was telling him that bashing his head would achieve nothing but brain damage which wouldn't be productive in his situation.
Damn it, everything had been going so well! Before Light knew what was happening he was sprinting the way home, desperate to reach L and explain, apologise, whatever it took. His lungs were protesting and his legs began to cramp since the teen had never cooled down after the tennis match. The only sound was of Light's feet pounding along the pavement. He rounded a corner and there, right ahead, was the entrance to the apartment complex.
In what seemed like no time at all Light was standing outside his- no their, apartment rocking on the balls of his feet. It took him a lot longer than it should have to reach for the door knob and twist it to let himself inside. Using common sense Light deduced that L would be in his room, obviously trying to avoid the younger for a while. Knocking on the door of the object of his affections seemed so hard to do.
Let's think about this logically... I definitely like L. He likes me. So why is this so hard? Admitting it? My pride is what. I've just got to suck it up and tell him... great.
So he knocked on the door. "L, you in there?"
"Mmhmm."
"Can I come in?"
"I cannot control what Light does or does not do." The teenager took that as a 'yes, you can come in', in L language.
He opened the door but didn't look inside, preferring the sight of his shoes. Avoiding L's gaze was preferable right now. "What I said before... I didn't mean it like that," he muttered after clearing his throat awkwardly and scratching the back of his neck in a Matsuda-like action.
Stoic as ever L replied with, "How did you mean it then?"
Swallowing your pride was harder than what Light originally thought. "Well I did mean what I said about... doing stuff, but uhh I'd also like more than that."
"More?" L prompted. The raven haired man's lack of words often angered Light but that did it. He started yelling...
"Fuck, what more do you want me to say? You know I dream about you basically every night. You know I want to be more than friends. You're the only person who knows me! Not Light Yagami perfect everything, but the real me. Don't throw it back in my face now," he ended in a whisper with his cheeks blazing.
"You may sleep in here tonight if you wish Light-Kun."
"What?" Well if that wasn't a 180 then Light didn't know what was.
L repeated himself, "Sleep in here tonight. Come lie down on the bed."
Light did. He curled up on his side, still not wanting to face L. "So what now?"
"You sleep," and that was all Light expected from L that night until he was wrapped up in body heat from behind. He was so much sleepier than what he'd realised as he began to drift off.
A low voice lulled him into the subconscious as he was pecked on the cheek, "I like you too," it said.
