Chapter 11-
A/N Hey guys I'm back :) You guys got unlucky, only 4 reviews. Keep trying though! As promised, you get a lime today woo! It's my first attempt at writing one so please bear with me and don't expect any wonders. Here we go!
The morning came fast, and L awoke. Well he didn't really wake up, moreso just lay there all night thinking things through, unable to sleep. He mainly concentrated on Light's heavy breathing behind him, and basked in the warmth of the bed. The bed was never this warm when he slept alone, it must have been a Light thing. There were quite a lot of Light things, such as taking bubble baths in the morning, and watching the news at 6 o'clock every night. L didn't need to watch the news, he practically was the news most of the time. His boyfriend, however, thought differently and insisted that they sit down together every night and find out what's happening in England.
The detective turned around to face Light, who's eyes were still closed, his mouth slightly open.
26 today, he thought to himself, before kissing Light's mouth. His eyes flickered open, and he wrapped his arms around L.
'Happy birthday my love,' He murmured sleeping, lips twitching into a smile. 'What time is it?'
'21 minutes past 8, time to get up.' was the man's reply.
'Good, let me take a bath then I can show you your present.' Light laughed at his boyfriend's expression at the word bath. 'Do you not like being clean L?' He teased, stroking the detective's cheek.
'No, I am just overcome with anticipation Light-kun.'
'The sooner we go and bathe, the sooner you get to see your present.'
L sighed, and tugged at Light's hand. 'We'd best hurry up then.'
The whole bath was rushed and hurried. Poor Light wasn't given time to wake up and relax, L was in told much of a hurry. He basically doused the two of them in an array of bubbles then dragged Light underwater to rinse off. 'L, come on! What's the point in having a bath if I can't relax! Loosen up a little!' he moaned, shaking a stray orange bubble from his sodden hair.
'I thought the purpose of this bath was hygiene only?' L remarked, his face hidden by his dripping bangs. Light had no answer to this question - not a reasonable one anyway - so he simply parted the raven haired man's bangs and kissed him softly on the lips. 'Just who is the dominant one in this relationship? Perhaps we'll find out tonight,' Light whispered in L's ear, and turned away, swimming for the side.
'Wait, what do you mean by that? I'm clearly the dominant one in this relationship!' L called after him, struggling to keep up. He wasn't used to exercise before breakfast. He faltered several times, loosing his rhythm and his head dipping under the water unwillingly. Light's strong arms were soon around him, pulling him out of the water and keeping him steady. 'It's fine, I've got you,' he reassured and pulled his boyfriend to the edge, and got out.
'I'm the dominant one in this relationship.' L choked out when he was finally wrapped up in a towel and had recovered his breath. Be was looking significantly thinner this morning.
'L, you look so thin today.' Light stated, concern wracking his voice.
'Oh well, I burn calories with my brain cells, I did an awful lot of thinking last night, without a snack and also some physical exercise this morning, my body is eating away at the fat stores to generate energy. It's ok, I plan to eat lots of candy today, I'll soon put the weight back on.' Despite the sure tone, Light was still concerned.
'Ok then,' he muttered reluctantly, and started drying L's unruly hair, as it frequently bothered him that L just left it too dry whilst still sopping wet. Soon the raven haired man lived up to his description again, as he blatantly refused to let Light brush or even comb it. For L, the minutes dragged in for hours, yet for Light it just wouldn't slow down. L made for the Wammys Hall, where his present await, but Light had other ideas.
'You said you were hungry, I'll take you out for birthday breakfast at a cafe. Get your coat on and we'll go.'
'Ohhhh Light-kun!' L groaned in exasperation. 'Am I ever going to get my gift?'
'All in good time, patience is a virtue.' Light replied automatically, sounding almost rehearsed.
They had Watari drive them to a breakfast bar nearby. 'Light-kun, the orphanage does perfectly good cake you know. We could have just stayed there...' L continued to whine the whole way, driving Light insane.
'L, you know I wouldn't do anything to upset you,' Light's tone was soothing as he spoke. 'Just try to enjoy it and it'll all go so much faster.'
Minutes later, L was happily munching on pancakes practically swimming in honey and being crushed by the weight of the many strawberries on top. Light smiled, his boyfriend had perked up considerably since they spoke in the car, and seemed much more at ease.
'Light, can I have a clue for my birthday present?' He asked sweetly, his eyes wide and innocent.
'You'll like it. You'll get a new hobby as well as the gift.' Light responded, matching L's tone.
They both smiled, trying to work out what was in the others head.
'You got me a piano?!' L stood, dumbfounded, staring at the grand piano in front of him.
'Happy birthday!' Light cried, and hugged his boyfriend tight. 'I figured you'd be good at it, seeing as you have large hands.' Sure enough, L was a natural pianist, and had discovered a new hobby.
'Thankyou,' He whispered into Light's caramel hair.
At that moment, the trio walked in. 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY L!' Mello pretty much screamed at the top of his voice, and presented the detective with a giant basket of candy. Matt and Near greeted him a lot quieter,but their gifts were great. From Near, L received a book full of piano music, and from Matt, he received a redeemable coupon for several catfish from the local aquarium. I've already purchased them, but they wouldn't let me pick them up because I'm under 18.' He informed, handing over the coupon.
'Thankyou, thankyou all. This is possibly my best birthday ever.' L exclaimed in gratitude, locking his hand into Light's. He then noticed the closeness between Matt and Mello, and at the first available moment, he pulled Matt aside for a word.
'How did it go? Did you tell Near and Mello?'
'They found out almost straight away. Mello wants me to be his, but I'm worried about Near. He's been that little bit quieter ever since he found out about Mello's proposal last night.' Matt replied, his smile changing into a frown.
'Don't worry, Near will eventually make his feelings heard. Just give him time to adjust to the situation.' L sounded so sure, Matt's worries melted away on impact.
The time for the party drew closer, and Light and L were getting ready in their room. Light was dressed rather smartly in beige cords and a loose white shirt. L however, decided he would just brush himself down and turn up like that. When 6 o'clock came around at last, the guest of honour and his boyfriend made their way down to the party hall, which was decorated partly for halloween, and partly for the detective's birthday. As it seemed, Watari had worked hard, there were chocolate fountains dotted about everywhere, a huge box of candy by the stage and cakes were almost littering the tables, there were that many of them. L squeaked with delight (Light wasn't expecting that!) and tugged Light over to a table with a chocolate fountain on it, and began to smother strawberries in melted chocolate.
'Want some?' He addressed Light over his shoulder, waving a chocolate smothered strawberry in his face.
'No thanks,' Light looked around, searching for something less sweet and more to his tastes. His eyes brightened when he spotted a platter of sausage rolls, and he went over and helped himself. Out of nowhere, L appeared in front of him, and gazed at Light.
'You have pastry on your lip,' He said fondly, and kissed it from Light's bottom lip.
Somewhere in the distance, Mello, Matt and Near were sitting at a table, enjoying the party.
'Guys, I have something to tell you.' Matt addressed them, a note of importance in his voice.
'What is it?' Mello's hand interlocked with the gamer's under the table as they gave their full attention to Matt.
'I like you both. I can't decide between you, I don't think it's fair to. Mello, you kissed me yesterday and I loved it, but I don't want one of you without the other. I don't know what to do, so I'm asking your opinions on his matter.' Matt sounded solemn, be was torn between the two of them.
Near and Mello simply looked at each other and reached over to Matt, grabbing one hand each.
'Why only have one when you can have both of us?' Mello smiled.
Near smiled too, a rare occasion, and squeezed Matt's hand tight. ' We're here for you. We're your friends. We want to be more that friends, that is, if you'll have us.'
A smile slowly spread across Matt's face, setting his eyes alight with happiness. 'Oh guys, of course I'm saying yes. I've wanted this for so long...'
'And now your dream has become reality.' Mello spoke softly, voice full of affection.
At that moment, Watari's voice rang through the room, emanating from the speakers that where almost invisible against the decorations.
'Good evening, Ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to welcome you to our party, in honour of our greatest student so far, L! We'd like to offer our token of appreciation tonight as well as congratulate him on his new found relationship! ' L and Light blushed at this point. 'All of us at Wammys House would like to wish L a very happy birthday, and may this year be as good as the last.'
The room erupted in cheers and whistles and clapping, birthday wishes ringing through above the applause. As the night steadily drew to an end, it was requested that L made a speech.
After much pestering and persuasion, the man of the hour finally gave in and took to the stage.
The room became silent as he cleared his throat, Light standing at the front watching his love with pride.
'I'm not used to having so many friends, so many people cheering me on. I have to admit, it's a great feeling, and it's been great coming back for my birthday. I'm almost certain I have enough candy to last me until Christmas, yet I still have the feeling that I will be making trips to the candy store. Nevertheless, it's been a great night and I hope you've all enjoyed it as much as I have. Now would be a good time to tell you that I plan on staying here again, at least until I'm called out abroad for another huge case. On that note, I bid you all goodnight. Happy Halloween!' Applause rang through the room, Light was at the bottom of the stage, waiting for him with his arms wide open. L graciously accepted the embrace, wrapping his long arms around his boyfriend's waist, burying his face into his shoulder. The bells chided, signalling it was midnight, and bit by bit, people began to retire for the night, the crowd dying away along with the party. The couple spotted the trio walking along to their room, all very close and looking the happiest they had in years.
The two men climbed into bed, still wrapped in the sweet memories of the party.
'Hey L,' Light whispered, a seductive tone creeping into his voice. 'Ready to prove that you're the dominant one?'
L smiled mischievously, a cheeky glint in his eye. 'Ready as I'll ever be.'
The two of them began kissing, harder than normal, the sort of kiss that was issued in a burst of passion. Slowly, L edged his way on top of Light, lying in such a way that the younger of the two was trapped. 'Convinced?'
'Hello no!'
L began to trail his fingers down Light's body, starting at his neck and ending at his waistband. Be could feel the bulge resting just under his palm, clearly his partner was as aroused as he was. This was all very new to him, but somehow he knew exactly what Light wanted, exactly what to do. His hand crept to Light's crotch, and with an abrupt motion, he squeezed the erection hard, receiving a startled moan from Light. Red silk pyjamas were removed, and a perfect, naked body lay before him, that body that he'd seen so much, after all they had bathed together, but loomed completely different under these circumstances. L wrapped his hand around Light's member, squeezing it again. He bent to kiss his partner, who was looking very aroused, before moving his hand. Light groaned, closing his eyes. He'd never been touched in this way before, he'd certainly never imagined it could have been by Light, but damn, it felt good. The detective continued to pump Light's manhood, not breaking eye contact with the boy. The more L stared at him, the more pleasure Light felt, it was as if his lover was staring into his soul, in a way that he just couldn't describe. The whole thing was a silent affair, apart from the increasing moans. Light's hips buckled and lurched forward, and he came in L's hands.
After cleaning them both up, L flopped down next to his lover. 'Believe me now?'
Light nodded weakly, still high from his orgasm. 'I love you.' L whispered into Light's hair, before falling asleep.
