Chapter 11:
Revelations
The next day L's beat-up sneakers resounded through the quite white corridors of the hospital as he half-ran and half-walked towards Light's room. When he saw what happened to the teen yesterday through the cameras that he installed in the room he hast to make sure that Light is okay. After all the precautions that he did to make sure that Light would not be unharmed the teen just have to do it for him, picking up those shards of broken glass exposing him to danger. No matter how small the threat is I could do a lot of damage and proof for that is Light's injured hand. He barged into the room throwing the door with unnecessary force not noticing his own uneven breathing.
Light yelped with surprise as he heard the door of his room open with a BANG! He glanced at the panting detective standing frozen at his own door with a questioning look on his face.
L's eyes travelled from the bright questioning honey eyes to the teen's perfect nose and full lips, stopping at the strong chest hidden behind the plain white shirt. He is still as beautiful and innocent as he remembered. Light is okay, he thought happily but quickly vanished when he saw the bandaged right hand of the teen a frown forming on his lips.
Light's hear beat quickened and his chest felt heavy with excitement as he watched L's eyes travel from his eyes, down his nose, to his lips and finally stopped on his chest. He blushed and bent his head down suddenly feeling self-conscious not seeing L's forming frown.
L walked to Light's bed and grabbed the bandaged hand carefully in his slender fingers. He felt Light tense under his touch and he gently caressed the teen's hand in a reassuring way as he slid his fingers under the delicate chin so the he could look at the honey orbs.
Light tensed under L's fingers but relaxed into to touch when he felt the reassuring caresses and L's hand under his chin tilting his head up and looked deep into the onyx depths.
Their eyes met that lasted for a few moments as each of them stared silently at the eyes of the other, filling the air with sweet tension.
"Why is your hand injured?" L said breaking the heated stare as he looked down at Light's injured hand beneath his gripping it lightly.
Light just shrugged trying to avoid the topic.
L looked down at Light with a pointed stare letting the teen know that he wants an explanation even though he already knows why.
Light stubbornly shook his head and reached for the chessboard on the night stand beside his bed. If L wants answers, he has to fight for it.
Understanding what Light wanted and silently accepting the challenge he sat on the chair and helped Light set the chess pieces. When all the pieces are ready they started playing.
After an hour of a grueling chess match Light watched L move his queen in front of his king trapping him with nowhere else to go. Even if he ate the queen he would just be eliminated by the rook that supported the queen from behind. Defeated he slumped against the pillows looking away from L's grinning face that shun with victory to the dull plain window of the room.
L grinned at Light's childish reaction. He nudged the teen's shoulder, "Why is your hand injured?" He repeated the question that the teen refused to answer.
Light still refusing to admit defeat crossed his arms against his chest and made a defiant pout.
L giggled, "I didn't know that Light is this childish." He teased the adorable pouting teen.
Light blushed at L's comment but pursed his lips more, "No. I. Don't. Want. To. Talk. About. It." He stated putting emphasis on each word as he stared hard at the window.
L nudged Light's cheek this time instead of his shoulders, "A deal's a deal, Light."
"No we didn't have any deal, L."
"You of all people should know that you were the one that suggested the deal and I was only agreeing to it."
Light stubbornly shook his head and looked straight at L's onyx eyes, "Last time I checked we didn't have any."
That snapped something in L and lunged at the stubborn teen. Limbs and pillows erupted from the bed as they tried to dominate the other, the deal completely forgotten.
Feeling a strange sense of déjà vu, Light smiled as he pushed L against the pillows.
L did an elaborate move flipping them over hovering above the surprised teen. He pinned Light's feet and hands accidentally pushing against the injure hand.
Light gasped with pain when L accidentally pushed too much weight on against his injured hand.
L heard Light gasp and he quickly and caressed Light's hand whispering words of apology.
Their eyes met both feeling lust for the other. L watched as Light's usually bright eyes cloud with lust, feeling the need for the teen intensify within him. He leaned into him wanting to taste the teen on his lips and tongue.
Light noticed the change in L's dark eyes as it mirrored the lust he was feeling. When L leaned to kiss him he gladly moved his lip nearer to the enigmatic detective. Their lips met.
Light's lips were softer than what L imagined making the experience sweeter. It was his first kiss after all.
Light felt the clumsy and inexperienced way the detective's lips press against his. He smiled against the lips, I guess it's time to teach him how to kiss properly. He nibbled on L's lower lip making the detective gasp with shock and pleasure, he used that as an opportunity to insert his tongue inside the detective's mouth earning a moan of pleasure.
L barely recognized his own voice through the moans he was making as Light's tongue continued to explore his mouth. His moans became louder when Light sucked and nibbled on his tongue.
They continued to kiss passionately wrapped in each other's arms. Light's hand traveling down L's back and L's fingers tugging at Light's brown strands.
They finally broke apart gasping for air but stayed in each other's arms with L above Light. Their foreheads touching each other and eyes closed with bliss and satisfaction.
"Light" L gently whispered opening his eyes to find Light's closed.
"Hmmm." Light replied dreamily through closed lids.
"Would you come to England with me?" L blurted out without thinking his mind still clouded with bliss.
Light's eyes opened wide with surprise.
Reading Light's reaction as a rejection L quickly broke away from their embrace, a feeling of wanting to run away and hide consumed him. After a 0.12 second decision making he decided that, that's what he'll do, run.
Light quickly grabbed L's hand and pulled the fleeing detective hugging him close to his chest, "Dummy, let me think."
L was tense inside Light's arms as he waited for the teen's decision.
Even though Light already has an answer he refused to say it just to prolong L's tense figure against him as a form of cruel tease. He gently patted L's back easing the tense muscles. When he felt L relax he whispered against L's ears, "Yes, L."
L suddenly looked up to meet Light's honey eyes not believing what he was hearing.
Light laughed at L's unbelieving eyes and gently kissed the detective's lips. After breaking the kiss he held L harder, "Yes, L I will go to England. Hell I'll even go to the farthest reaches of the world with you."
Seeing that Light meant every word that he said through the honest honey eyes L smiled and leaned his head against Light's chest, "I won't be easy to live with."
Light snorted, "I know that the moment I met you."
"And it won't change your mind?"
"No, even if there were hundreds of you I have to live with I won't change my mind."
"Really?"
"Really," a smile appeared on Light's lips, "actually I might just like that, having my own harem of Ls."
L looked up from Light's chest to stare at the detective with an expression of disgust.
Seeing the disgusted expression on L's face, "What?" he asked.
L shook his head, "I assure you, you won't find another one like me, there's no one as weird as me. And even if you do I'm afraid to disappoint you but I don't like to share what's mine." He said in a very serious expression.
Light laughed a complete contrast against L's serious tone, "I am sure I won't find a hundred people like you, you're one of a kind. I'm also sure that you don't want sharing either seeing how you reacted when I ate that cookie yesterday." L blushed and he grinned bigger leaning close to the detective their lips just a mere centimeters away, "but even that's the case," he placed butterfly kisses on L's face intentionally missing his lips, "I still want you."
L smiled and kissed Light slipping his tongue inside catching the teen by surprise.
After another heated round Light and L were leaning against the pillows on the bed.
Light asked after contented silence, "What are we going to tell people when they ask why I'm going to England with you?"
L rolled his eyes against Light's chest, "We tell them not to bother asking and live you alone with your own decisions."
Light shook his head but smiled anyway, "Seriously, L. What will we tell other people?" Then an idea suddenly crossed his mind, "I have one." When L looked up curious to hear what his idea is he continued, "I will tell them that I have found myself a person I would spend the rest of my life with and I will be going with him to England because I don't want to be separated from him." He said as if it's the easiest thing to do in the whole world.
L starred at Light with a horror struck expression which made the teen double over with laughter breaking their embrace. "Li- Li- Light!" he whined like a child, "that's not funny! Stop joking around!" his whining voice escalating with each word.
Light heard L's whining voice which made him laugh harder. "Now who's being a child?" he teased through gritted teach as he tried to hold back another plea of uncontrolled laughter.
"I am not!" L shouted blushing embarrassed and annoyed at Light's reaction.
Abruptly stopping from laughter Light reached towards L trapping the blushing face in his hands. "That's what I'll tell everyone that asks, L. I don't want to hide anything from anyone and that's a very long list but my love for you is at the top of that very long list." All humor leaving his face replaced with his love for the awkward detective clear on his honey eyes.
L's heart sped at the confirmation of Light's love for him. He felt a need to tell him too. "Light… I… I… I love you too." He whispered shyly as his face darkens more with embarrassment as Light held it between his hands.
Light's face suddenly alight with a bid smile at L's adorable confession filling the room with a radiant glow.
L gasped at the radiant smile of the beautiful teen completely mesmerized.
The couple continued to stay content in each other's arms and for a change L didn't leave the teen's side until a peaceful sleep descended on them.
The task force didn't take the news lightly. When Light tried to calmly explain about his decision with 'Ryuzaki' while holding hands with him, all hell broke loss.
There were shouted conversations and anger filled eyes shooting at the now weird couple.
This continued until Light whispered in a broken voice, "The reason why I was able to take my family's murder is because of him. I haven't been so happy in my life. I want to be where he is, so please, understand what I truly want for a change."
The taskforce all took collective breaths and finally calmed down asking the couple different questions.
They tried to answer as truthfully as they can, of course leaving the fact that 'Ryuzaki' is L and just settled with the fact that 'Ryuzaki' is a private detective.
The taskforce eventually accepted Light's decision and relationship and the problem was resolved.
"Light are you ready?" L asked as he peeked into Light's hospital room.
"Actually, Yes. I don't have much to bring anyway." Light replied as he slung a backpack over his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Watari will arrange anything that you need."
Light smiled remembering L's father figure. Who would have thought that the black clad man that worked as L's shadow is just a sweet old man that loves to make tea and bake cake?
They walked out of the room and hospital to be picked up by Watari and his black Mercedes.
The car sped through the Tokyo road making the scenery blurry. Just like the memories that were slowly appearing in the Light's mind that he refuses to tell L because he is afraid that he will be left behind.
