Upon waking up, Light opened his eyes. He stayed still, stared at the ceiling as he saw L doing, and got lost in his thoughts for a minute or so.
Suddenly, Light shot up in the bed. "Ryuzaki, I've been thinking."
"About what, Light-kun?"
"About what you said while I was in the hospital. I've decided, if I'm going to be gay with you, then I'm going to at least be proud!"
L sighed, figuring that now would be a good time to tell the teen he was lying. As he turned his head, not a word came out of his mouth. Light's was already on it.
Who knows what would've happened next. Maybe L would've kissed back. Maybe he would've pushed Light away. We would never know because during that very second Mr. Yagami walked in.
And he didn't look too good.
Soichiro fainted on the floor. L rushed up to help him, kneeling down beside the elderly man and trying to lift him on the bed. Light, however, was just sitting on said bed, completely stunned.
After a moment, Light said, "Wow, you don't taste like candy at all. More of a..." Light licked his lips. "A... a strawberry!"
"Light," L said with all the seriousness in the world.
Light started getting scared when he heard the lack of 'kun' after his name. He gulped. "Um, yeah, Ryuzaki?"
"At the hospital, I was lying," L all but growled out.
"Oh," Light squeaked. 'Shit. L is going to kill me.' "Um...Oops?"
"..."
Light's heart was beating as fast as it possibly could; any faster and he would've had a heart attack!
L slowly turned to Light. The teen froze.
"L-L...?" Light said, trying to calm the detective down. The older man just stood up, straightening out his back and standing tall over Light.
'Shit.' Light couldn't think of a time he was more scared than he was now. "Uh... L...?"
L slowly stalked towards him with a glare that could melt the sun.
No, not an iceberg. It'd melt the sun. That's how heated his glare was.
As L took more and more steps towards the teen while said teen's mind was going crazy in a mental frenzy, trying to find a way to get out of this situation alive.
Finally, the genuis had a brilliant idea, one that only someone with his IQ could think of:
'Run. Like Hell.'
He dashed for the door, tripping before he could reach it.
L ran after him, diving for the teen and grabbing his ankle, causing Light to fall forward.
Light scrambled, kicking at L's hand and jumping back up on his feet. L stayed on the floor, cradling his hurt hand, as Light tried to run again.
Unfortunately, the genuis' plan turned to be a failure. He could be more than seven or so feet before the handcuffs bit at his wrist and yanked him back on the floor, falling on his behind. His eyes widened and he sat still. He forgot about the chain.
'Shit. How the Hell am I supposed to get away from L?!'
He stood up, backing away from L, who stood up again, and tried getting as far away from him as the chain would allow.
L dashed towards Light, who ran to the door. Making sure not to run too fast- otherwise he'd fall again- or too slow- otherwise L would catch him- Light kept on going, running throughout the entire building.
The elevator dinged and Matsuda and the rest of the Task Force took a step out of it.
"We got cake!" Matsuda cheered. He dropped the box and the cake fell out when he saw the two genii running around. He came to the conclusion that only he and Misa could come to. "Are you two playing 'Duck, Duck, Goose?!' I wanna play!"
However, L stopped chasing Light around the desk when he saw the cake fall to the floor. Light ended up running in a full circle around the desk and hitting L in the back, falling on his butt again.
With sad, shining eyes, L walked over to the cake, dragging Light back around desk and on all over the floor.
Light pouted, crossing his arms. He thought to himself, 'I am not some toy do be dragged around on the floor! Germs are on the floor!'
While Light was inner-ranting about the germs on his pants, L scooped up the box and put the cake back in it, trying his best to hold back tears. He stood up, holding the dear box to his chest.
At the same time, he and Light both said, "I need-!"
"I need-!"
"To go to the bathroom!" the both yelled.
Aizawa leaned over to Ide and whispered, "It's like they planned it..."
"That, or they're in some kind of manga book or anime show," Ide said back.
"Wait, what's a mango?" Matsuda said, strolling over.
Ide gawked at him. "You don't know what a manga is?!"
"Isn't it a vegetable or something?"
"That's a mango. And it's a fruit."
"Geeze, Matsuda," Aiwaza said. "This is why you're the idiot in the group."
Matsuda pouted. "Who died and made me the idiot?!"
"Misa died."
"Misa died?!"
"Yes, Matsuda. And that makes you the complete idiot since there is no girl idiot anymore," Ukita said, cutting in.
"... Do I get an award or something?"
"Better," Aizawa said. "You get to..." Matsuda leaned closer. "You get to make all the coffee you could ever want."
Matsuda gasped and held his hands to his face. "Really?"
"Yes."
Ide nudged Ukita. "Gee, I wish I could have some coffee."
"Me too," Ukita said, playing along. "Except we're not allowed to touch Matsuda's coffee supply to make any, right guys?"
Mogi, Aizawa, and Ide nodded their heads in agreement.
"I'll make you guys coffee, then!" Matsuda offered, skipping out of the room.
Once he was out of hearing distance, the entire team bursted out into laughter, some clutching their stomachs and others on the floor.
Aizawa wiped a tear from his eye. "Ah, Matsuda always makes us feel like we're genuises, right guys?"
"Yeah. Hey, where'd L and Light go?" Ukita asked.
"To the bathroom upstairs but that's unimportant. Aizawa just said he felt like a genuis and used the word 'genuises' in the same sentence," Ide pointed out, as if the others hadn't noticed. Way to go Captain Obvious.
"What's wrong with that?" Aizawa asked, his face turning a slight red with anger.
"It's 'genii,' not 'genuises.'"
"No, it's 'genuises.' Genii sounds weird."
"Isn't it 'Genii sound weird?' 'Sound' without an 's?'" Ukita asked, once again inserting himself into the conversation.
"No, that sounds weird too," Aizawa said.
"But 'genii' is plural and we wouldn't say, 'Lamps looks nice.' We'd say 'Lamps look nice.' Right?" Ukita explained.
Aizawa glared at the men in front of him. "I DON'T CARE! WHEN DID THIS BECOME A GRAMMAR LESSON ANYWAY?!"
Ide flinched. "I DON'T KNOW BUT YOU'RE SCREAMING IN MY FOOT!"
"DON'T YOU MEAN EAR?!"
"NO, YOU'RE STILL ON THE FLOOR FROM LAUGHING!" Ide screamed back.
"WHY ARE WE STILL YELLING?!"
"I DON'T KNOW!"
The Task Force members started crying, sad that now even Watari had better hearing than them.
Matsuda walked in. "Hey guys, I got the coffee!"
Everyone looked at him.
"WHAT?!" the yelled in unison right in the poor agent's face.
Matsud fell back on the floor, dropping the tray of coffee. "WHY ARE YOU GUYS YELLING AT ME?!"
"WE DON'T KNOW!"
