The Demon and the Light

Chapter 12 : Truth or Dare

"Achoo!" came a sneeze followed by a soft "Bless you" from one L and Light. Light being the on that sneezed of course. "Achoo!" the brunette sneezed again as he took a tissue and held it at his nose. "Are you okay, Light-chan?" Mello asked in a joking voice with a hint of worry in it. "Yes…I'm-Achoo!-*sniffle* allergic to cats" The teen explains. "Then stop petting them!" Mello exclaims before laughing at the contorted face Light made before he sneezed for the fiftieth time that day. "Its adorable…I ca-Achoo!- can't"

"Light go pet L's kitty…she is hairless so I doubt you'll sneeze or anything…" Near orders and receives a sigh from Light who hands over Patches to his original owner. "Bye Patchy-chan!" He says before getting up and running to L's room.

He entered the room without knocking and was greeted with one of the cutest, and sexiest, sight ever. L was laying sideways on his bed, his shirt had ridden up to show his surprisingly toned abs, he wasn't too bulky Light noted. His pants were also riding a bit low and showed some hip bone but the one thing that made everything cute was the cute little kitten laying right next to L's chest as he petted its little head.

"Awe! So adorable!" Light squealed a manly squeal mind you, and run forward to pet the kitty. "Why thank you Light, I don't try to hard" L tried to joke but there was no humor in his tone and rather pain. "What's wrong?" Light asked as he sat on the bed next to L and examined the raven. "Nothing…" he lied, trying to hide his slight discomfort with a soft smile.

Light wasn't fooled though as he saw the way L's eyes twitched and how he winced slightly when he moved. "Is it one of those days?" Light asks as he moves closer to check if the older boy had a fever, which he did. "L you are burning up…Maybe you're getting flu or something…" he trails off.

Light knew that it wasn't flu and rather L's sickness. It seemed to be getting worse and Light was starting to think that what the demon doctor said about L not dying was a possible lie…because it sure felt like it. "Light…please don't worry…I am fine" he said as he got up and sat in his normal crouch, disturbing the little kitten who meowed and jumped off the bed. "Wow…she is so small but can jump off such high surfaces…" Light mumbled as he looked at the kitten that went to a bowl of kitty food and milk. "Just this morning she jumped up the bed…I was very proud of her" L said with a smile.

"I told Sayu about you guys getting kittens and now she is begging our parents to get her one…to be honest I wouldn't mind getting one but…animals are too much responsibility and I am allergic anyway…" Light muttered with a deep sigh. "Anyway…did you get sleep last night?" Light asked the raven who nodded his head. "Three minutes and 47 seconds…it felt longer though…"

Light glared at the raven "I meant proper sleep Ryu…You need to sleep if you want to get better…" The brunette mumbled with a sigh. "But you know that it is impossible for me to sleep…" The demon mumbles as he got off the bed slowly. "I hear those little buggers coming up here so lets go" The demon says as he picks up his kitten and hands it to Light.

"What is the point of going?" Light asks, bringing his hands up to massage his temples. "Those brats cat's always eat Spots food and pick on her" Lights eyes softened as he looked at the kitty in his hands. "Wow, you actually care about something" L rolled his eyes at the brunette and walked out the room, bumping into both Mello and Near.

"Sup, L!" Mello says as he takes a bite out of a chocolate bar, holding his cat while doing so. "You guys cant hold the cats 24/7 you know…they will get worms and could possibly die…how is that proving responsibility to Watari?" all of them shrugged and Light rolled his eyes. "Put them down or else they are going to become those fat lazy cats." Light ordered and the young demons did as told, putting their kittens on the ground. Patches looked around the room and tried to walk but was attacked by Sapphire.

"Leave them, they are playing" Light said as he saw Mello and Near try to pick the cats up again. Light himself put Spots down who trotted over to L and sat by his feet. Said person smiled at the cute cat. "Now…What are we going to do…I'm bored…" Light asked and immediately Mello answered with a wide grin.

"I say we play Truth or Dare!"

"I am not playing such a game with you brats" L Shot down the game immediately, as well as Light. "Absolutely not…that game is stupid…"

"You're both just chicken!" The blonde, chocolate eating demon said pulling his tongue out childishly. "I vote we play" Near says and Mello fist pumps. "See! Even Nears gonna play! Stop being cowards!" The blonde shouts at both boys, grinning from ear to ear.

"Fine" L and Light said simultaneously. They only agreed because Mello was beating their pride. "Yes!" he exclaimed as he ran to some place. "I have a very bad feeling about this and I am pretty sure that someone is going to be crying at the end of this game" L mutters as he nibbles on his thumb. "I agree…" Near mumbles and Light nods. "I bet you its gonna be Mello" Light says with a grin and the others nod.

"it will happen inevitably if we play this game" L says as the blonde comes back with a bottle and a huge smile plastered on his face. "Let's do this!" he shouts as he runs into L's room, with the ravens protest of course, but his protests were ignored as Mello sat down on the floor and put the bottle in front of him. The others sit down; well Light sits down as L and Near sit in their usual positions.

"Who's spinning first?" L asks and he looks at the empty bottle. He didn't want to play but if he didn't then he would be called a coward and he had too much of a big pride to damage. Light was thinking the along the same lines as L and Near, as well as Mello, were doing this because they wanted to embarrass one another.

"Mello spin the bottle" L mumbled as he sat flat on his Gluteus Maximus (His bum), seeing as his legs started to ache. Mello reached out and spun the bottle around. It spun for at least seven times before stopping at Light. "Truth or Dare?" he asks the raven who shrugs and mumbles a small 'truth' . "Is it true that you gave L a BJ (I hope I don't need to explain what this is!)?" At the question Lights face turns a deep shade of scarlet as he splutters out his answer. "N-no!"

"I somehow don't believe that" Mello mutters with a grin. "I haven't you brat!" Light glares at the blonde before roughly spinning the bottle and hoping that it would land on Mello so that he could get the blonde back for embarrassing him. But the bottle landed on L. "Truth or Dare"

"Truth" Light thought about his question before grinning and opening his mouth to speak. Ryuk (A/N: Who I haven't mentioned till now! He has been here the whole time! XD) laughed after reading Lights mind before he continued eating his apples, cackling silently to himself. "Is it true that you once considered seducing Watari?" Light asks and the look on Mello and Nears face was priceless. "Dude please tell me that is a lie!"

"if I said that I would be a great liar" L said with a, surprisingly, embarrassed face. "The man wasn't that old when he found me…he still had some energy in him…but I disintegrated all thoughts of ever seducing him…it felt plain and simply wrong"

"That's because it is wrong! Where you that desperate to get a feed?" L sighed but started explaining. "View this through my eyes and my being…I was kicked out of my previous home, had nowhere to go, I wasn't familiar with the human world and I certainly didn't know where to feed…I was in an alley when Watari found me…I was boney and when I felt the energy around him I thought that I could feed off it since it was secluded and no one would have found us…but I saw that the man was old and draining such energy would make an impact on his health, negatively…

"Watari offered for me to stay in a hotel and I took that offer…and that is where I found a whole bunch of waiters and waitresses and a view other people that I could have fed off…I somehow managed to outsmart Watari and to this day I still don't know how…it was only a game of chess…anyway…he took me in as his own and here we are now, playing a stupid game with you two brats" L said glaring and both Mello and Near.

"Ryu~ they are your brats and you know it" Light said as he kissed L on the cheek. "On with the gme! L your spinning next!" Mello said cheerfully after unwrapping a chocolate, which was hidden in an unknown place (A/N: His training bra! XD Just Joking!), and took a bite out of the milky goodness (A/N: sorry I can't describe it that well…I don't like chocolate!).

L reached out and spun the bottle only to have it land on himself. he looked at Mello who groaned. "I guess you can pick who you want to ask" The blonde mumble, praying that the older demon doesn't pick him. "Near, seeing as you haven't been asked yet, Truth or dare?"

"Dare" The little albino said with no emotion but you could see the excitement in his eyes. "I dare you to…wear a…sombrero…" Near looked at the raven with a look that said 'WTF!'. "Where am I going to get that L?" the small albino said with a sigh and L shrugged. "I have one in my closet" All of them look at him and a moment of silence followed after that until Light broke it.

"I don't even want to know why you keep a Mexican hat in your wardrobe…I think you even freaked out Ryuk there" he said pointing the angel, who was still fine and eating apples, at one of the rooms corner. "No I'm fine" the angel said before eating the core of one apple. "Moving on…Near go put on that sombrero" Mello said with a snicker and near did as he was told and walked to L's closet and searched for the large hat. It wasn't hard to find though and as soon as Near saw it he nearly fainted.

It was pink… pink and golden brown…

It was horrifying.

L started snickering when he saw Nears expression and was followed by Light, Mello and Ryuk who burts out in full laughter. "Oh my I won't ask why its pink but…that is just so hilarious!" Mello shouts with tears in his eyes at laughing so much. Near sulks and puts the hat on reluctantly and sits. "How long do I have to wear this?" He says with a cute pout and L shrugs. "Throughout the game I guess…" The albino nods his head and sulks. 'This is so unfair' he thought to himself as the others laughed continuously until they couldn't anymore.

The game continued and sure enough there was someone crying at the end. Actually they all were crying, figuratively speaking of course. L was dared to stop eating sweets for a whole week, by Light of course. Light was dared to wear tight clothes by the ever perverted L. Mello had to wear a dress, surprisingly Near gave him that dare. Near was still in his dashingly pink sombrero with a lovely pair of pink shades, courtesy of L of course…

No one would ask L why he had all that just but the question would always be in their heads.
