Art


One should not take L to such things as art galleries, Light had come to learn. It only ended in disaster. Take that one, time, for instance, that Light had momentarily lost the sneaky sex demon…

Frantically looking around, Light almost felt his heart give out in relief when he finally spotted the feathery black hair of his lover. Shaking his head at the demon's carelessness and his own neglect, Light had went over to retrieve L.

"L, there you are-" Light started upon reaching L's side, but he was cut off as L started to speak, and it was then that Light noticed L was addressing a rather wealthy-looking man in a smart business suit.

"You're seriously contemplating paying 300,000,000 yen for this painting?" Incredulously was apparent in L's tone as he gestured at a framed picture, which was a white background with a single splatter of red across the mid-lower left corner.

"L!" Light said, shocked at L's rudeness, but the incubus ignored him, continuing as the wealthy man eyed both the painting and L speculatively.

"The artist basically had a nosebleed on a whiteboard, and he wants 300,000,000 yen for it? And you're willing to pay for it?" L asked, jabbing his finger at the painting almost accusatorily.

Oh, God.

Light facepalmed, his face burning in embarrassment as the wealthy man eyed the picture speculatively, then tentatively shook his head and walked away, leaving L smiling smugly.

He then turned to Light and said smugly, "And you thought I didn't know a thing about art."
