Chapter 11

----Gender-Confused Freak----


"Seriously, you really are a gender-confused freak; do you know that, Yagami-kun?" Lira asked for the nth time ever since Light met her. She had seen everything: every single 'punishment' Light had to endure under L's somewhat sadistic reign. First, it was to be imprisoned for several days in a cell with only two positions to choose from: sitting or lying down curled up in his cell, begging for everyone to believe that he is not Kira. Lira had always thought that he had a few screws loose after watching him change personality ala Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one moment, thinking he might be Kira and the next screaming in his cell that he definitely is not Kira. That Kid is crazy.

Next, she watched as Light gets bounded to L with long metal handcuffs for L to keep an eye on him and for him to help investigate the Yotsuba group, a firm that is very suspicious ever since their position in the market escalated almost overnight. That phase was Lira's favorite. Light had actually tried to seduce L into releasing him from the restraints of the handcuffs. She never thought the kid would stoop so low to get what he wants. But that was really fun to watch for Lira. She saw how the poor kid made his advances to her boy genius and L, who had next to nothing when it comes to feelings, turns him down every single time without the detective even knowing what he did. That went on for about a few weeks until Light may have decided to just give it up after finally realizing that the detective is an emotionless piece of crap.

Wedy, who was present at the headquarters at that time almost choked on her coffee after hearing Lira's comment. That was the first time the spy ever heard of it, unlike most of the people in the investigation team, whose ears were almost near to bleeding state after hearing that statement almost everyday. Light twitched in his seat next to L, staring at the monitors that displays information about the Yotsuba group's activities for the past month.

"I thought you were making a presentation," Light said in a would-be calm voice.

"I've already done that. It's super easy, you know," Lira replied cheerfully, drawing a chair close to L. The detective then took the icing-covered cupcake that Light was about to put into his mouth and gave it to Lira.

"Here, have a cupcake," L said, earning another twitch from the university student. Lira suppressed the smirk that would have formed in her lips and bit on the cupcake, caring to show Light how much she enjoyed her little sweet treat. She loves tormenting Light especially when he shows so much reaction to every little thing she does.

"Why do you keep on calling me a gender-confused freak, anyway?" Light asked in an attempt to make some sense of the goings-on.

"Well, you are! Ever since you got bound to L, you never visited your girlfriend. I mean, do you really love her? You only cared about the case as much as I know," Lira said in a matter of fact way, crossing her arms over her chest. Silence greeted her. The Yagami boy wasn't playing her game.

"Well? I asked you if you loved your popstar of a girlfriend didn't I? I mean, yeah, she's totally insane and all but I really think that she's head over heels in love with you too. I mean, she practically throws herself at you every chance she gets, right? So, do you really, really love your crazy-headed, daft, mentally unstable girlfriend? It's just a simple yes or no question and you are not answering!" Lira bitched. The Yagami kid wasn't going to give her fun easily today.

"Fine, I love so damn well that I might just have gone crazy and all freaky the way you always call me. Are you happy with that now? Why can't you keep your trap shut every once in a while? I told you, I am not a gender-confused freak! I do not visit Misa because if your eyes ever fail you, you must have missed the fact that I am bound by these goddamned handcuffs to you emotionless boyfriend who doesn't even know how to recognize seduction even if it wore a tassel hat and danced naked in front of him carrying a pot of boiling jasmine tea! Seriously, you should be the one wondering whether you boyfriend loves you or not, bitch. I think not. I think he loves his work much more than you. So please shut the frick up!" Light ranted, his voice escalating as he finished the paragraph. Everything happened all at once. Light was heaving breaths and fuming at Lira and then he felt something soft, white and squishy make contact with his handsome features. He then raised his hand to feel the white stuff - icing?

"Don't call her a bitch or I might just throw you back into your cell. Lira's right about your girlfriend, in my opinion but enough about that because we really need to get back to work," L said out of the blue after throwing the remaining cupcakes on his plate to Light. He never even bothered telling him to clean his face before proceeding on working at the background study of the Yotsuba group. Lira might have just witness what an angered L was like.

"Fine," Light huffed, wiping the generous amount of icing that L had managed to land on his face with a table napkin that dangled off the tray that Watari uses to serve L his sweets, grimacing at how sticky the icing was. They worked in a very strained silence afterwards, broken only by Lira's music blaring from her Laptop's speakers. Sha-la-la-la-la don't be scared you've got the mood prepared, go on and kiss the giril


As midnight struck, the headquarters had dimmed down, lit only by tiny pin lights at the corners and the faint light coming from L's personal computer. Light was fast asleep on his swivel chair. Sleep was badly needed for the university student. He's been freaking out almost everyday since he got bound to L about how the detective never sleeps. Lira smiled at this fact. The boy certainly cannot tolerate oddity that well. She leaned her head on the detective's shoulder, earning a faint gasp from the detective. He has not yet gotten used to physical intimacy yet. Sometimes, Lira compares his knowledge when it comes to relationships to a middle-school student. But in her opinion, she liked her detective better than the latter. The detective is way smarter and hotter than a middle-school student; if you find pale, thin and a little messy hot, that is.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" L asked, browsing through the files that he and Light were studying that day, finding stuff they might have missed.

"I'm not yet sleepy," Lira said simply.

"You have class tomorrow. Your students won't appreciate it if their professor is late, you know," L said.

"I don't care, though. Professors have a right to commit mistakes every once in a while too, you know," Lira said, running her hand along L's arm.

"Don't do that, please," L said in his monotone voice though Lira did not miss the slight twitch of his body.

"Why?" Lira asked innocently, continuing to stroke L's hand.

"You're turning me on," L said, shuddering mildly under Lira's touch. Lira smirked, so she was affecting L that way, huh? She continued her stroking as if nothing had happened.

"I told you to stop that," L said in a firmer voice. Lira let go of him, afraid that he might get angry at her.

"Thank you," L said, relief clear in his voice.

"I – I think I'll go to sleep now," Lira said, trying to get out of the uneasy situation they have been put to by L's sudden demand for her to stop.

"You do that," L said as if nothing happened.

"G – goodnight," Lira said, planting a quick kiss on L's lips and climbing up the stairs leading to her room.

"You really know nothing do you," Light said from his chair, now wide awake.

"How long have you been awake," L asked, staring at the monitor of his computer, not bothering to look at the Yagami.

"Ever since you started your little talk," Light said in a smug voice. Not hearing a reply from L he continued. "You know, you could have continued what you were doing. Your girlfriend was really hot and I don't see why you can't given her some loving right here. I wouldn't have minded the sounds, you know, I would just have to pretend I am sleeping until you are finished. I know a man's needs, you know," Light said in matter of fact way.

"It's not about disturbing you," L said in a flat voice.

"Then what is it about, L?" Light asked in curiosity.

"It's none of your business, if you're so curious, then get back to studying the Yotsuba's remaining documents," L said, pointing to a stack of CDs to Light's right side. Light groaned but did as he was told.

"Can I play some music?" Light asked.

"As you wish but keep it down, baby might wake up," L said.
