Obsessed 25
L stood up and poured more coffee as he listened to Light outline the case. Light had also pulled the file on his lap top, showing L all of the pictures from the crime scene and the autopsy report. As he sat back down he let his thumb peruse his bottom lip before commenting.
"You're obviously thinking the mother and son are the main suspects," he stated and Light nodded, "They're so obvious it's laughable."
Light chuckled, "Yes, that's what I was thinking but because they 're so obvious I was beginning to think I was wrong centering in on one or the other." L nodded.
"You were wrong in centering in on one or the other," he stated and Light blinked in confusion for a moment and then stared wide-eyed back at L when he realized.
"Both? How could both of them..." he stopped and thought for a moment, "They left the party at separate times. One drugged him thinking he'd over dose and the other slit his wrists when they found he was passed out," he stared at L, "That's...you came up with that within ten minutes of going over the case…" L shrugged and sipped more coffee.
"I'm L," he said simply and Light laughed as he threw a handful of sugar cubes at him. He got up from the table and walked over to him, then leaned down to kiss him. "And you were concerned you had lost what it took to be L," he told him as L smiled up at him, "You haven't lost anything…you're just as insufferable as ever." He added and L pushed him away as he laughed.
"Don't get too excited, we have to prove which one did what and how," he said, "Not to mention finding out if either one of them knew what the other was doing," as Light moved back and kissed him again.
"Okay, that's valid," he agreed, "Let me call Matsuda, he should be in on this brain storming as well," he said reaching for his phone. L sighed and stood up.
"If you insist," he said and began to take off his robe. He hung it on the back of the chair and then moved to the middle of the room and began to stretch.
"What are you doing?" Light asked as he stared in surprise.
"Well, I've been quite remiss on my exercise lately, you know I usually do capoeira in the morning," he answered making sure he was facing Light as he stretched his long legs, the stance visibly tightening the muscles in his thighs and hips as he lifted his arms. Light tried to look away and place the call but he found himself unable to tear his eyes away from his naked lover.
"You're doing this on purpose aren't you?" he asked dropping the phone on the table and crossing his arms, "You never do these naked." After a few moments of watching he smirked and shook his head. "You don't want me to call Matsuda to come over do you?" L stopped and looked up at him, his eyes wide and innocent.
"I'm sure I don't know what you 're talking about," he said turning around so that his back was to Light and he bent over again stretching his legs apart. He looked over his shoulder and then grinned.
"I'm sure I would be thrilled to have your partner join us right now. If you're going to call him shouldn't you do it soon?" he asked and then laughed as Light launched himself at him, making them both fall to the plush carpet.
"You're such a bastard," Light said kissing him then pulling his own robe off, "If you didn't want Matsuda to come over why didn't you just say so?" he asked. L grinned back at him, running his fingers through Light's hair.
"And miss this reaction? Oh no Light, I've been away from you far too long to miss any opportunity to play," he said then pushed up putting Light on his back "My turn," he said in a deep, predatory whisper as he crawled on top of him.
Matsuda had practically run back to his car once he was out of the building. When he got there he sat for a moment and calmed down. Of course he knew that they..well..they were a couple of course they…but he never actually thought about them actually…and to be faced with them both practically naked in front of him. He chuckled and ran a hand through his hair, "Matsuda, you're such an idiot." He said to himself and laughed again. If he'd been separated from Suki for a while that would be the first thing he'd have on his mind as well, so why should they have been any different.
He started the car and started to pull into traffic. As a matter of fact, this was his weekend off, why wasn't he with her right now anyway, since he knew Light was fine, he chuckled again, Light was MORE than fine. He reached for his phone with one hand and called Suki. "Ryuzaki's back," he said happily when she answered, "So Light's obviously fine…they're both fine," he added and she laughed, "I'm really glad, Touta. Are you on your way back?" she asked. "As quickly as my car will get me there," he answered, "And it wouldn't bother me at all if you were in your robe when I get there."
Suki stared at her phone for a moment wondering if she heard him correctly. "In my robe? Why would I get undressed and get into my….ohhhh I see," she said with a giggle. "Yes, what a good idea. Maybe I'll even run a bath….hello? Touta?" she had heard the click of the phone disconnecting and she burst into laughter.
L ran his fingers down Light's sweat dampened chest before leaning forward and kissing him again. They were still lying on the carpet, their robes used as temporary blankets as they cooled down.
"It's a shame we ruined that nice shower we had," he said as he ran his fingers back up Light's chest, "Wasted all that water only to get all sweaty again," Light chuckled as he crossed his arms behind his head.
"There's plenty more water where that came from," he answered watching L, "And I wouldn't have passed this up for anything," he shifted and then chuckled, "Although you were merciless on my ass." L leaned on one elbow lying on his side facing Light,
"But it's such a nice ass, I couldn't help myself," he answered then smirked as he ran his fingers across said ass, "Besides I don't recall hearing you say anything even close to a complaint."
"I'm not complaining, just a statement of fact," Light explained then leaned forward gently kissing him again. "Have I told you how glad I am you came home?" he asked moving raven hair from in front of L's eyes, "How much I love you?" L smiled at him and nodded.
"I think I've heard something similar once or twice," he said and kissed him back, "I am just as happy to be home," he added, "Thank you for being here when I came to my senses." he added moving forward and letting his head drop to Light's chest. "I don't know what I would have done if I'd opened that door and you weren't here." Light carded through L's hair then ran his fingers from his hair down his back.
"I told you I would be," he reminded him, "Besides where would I go? All my stuff's here." he chuckled while L rolled his eyes. They lay like that for a few more minutes until Light finally sighed and reached for his robe, "As wonderful as this is I need to freshen up and get dressed. We're so close to ending this case I can't stop thinking about it." L nodded and reached for his own robe.
"I can understand. The quicker we get it done the faster we can get rid of the wonderful Mr. Hayami. Why do you always find these creatures who wish to steal you from me?" he asked as he slid into his robe, "This is getting quite tedious." Light took L into his arms and shook his head.
"You're over-exaggerating, that doesn't always happen. In all the time we've been together I've run into maybe two people that were interested in me, don't get carried away. Besides, you don't have anything to worry about and you know it. We've been together a long time now, you shouldn't even think about that kind of thing." L pouted as he ran his fingers through Light 's hair.
"You didn't walk in on your boyfriend about to be pawed on by another man, " he complained, "That kind of thing can give one nightmares." Light laughed and kissed him.
"Believe me, it was nightmarish to me too," he shuddered at the thought of being pawed by Hayami which made L laugh.
"Alright then go clean up and get dressed. I'll wait out here and have more coffee otherwise we'll never get dressed today." Light agreed, kissed him again and headed for their bedroom.
L sighed and sat down at the table and poured more coffee for himself. His fingers wrapped around the cup as his mind dredged up the two people he'd had to deal with over Light; first Miyano and now Hayami. Miyano was the worst of them because he had actually taken advantage of Light...L felt the anger churn up at just the thought and swallowed it back down with coffee. At least he'd stopped Hayami from getting anywhere by arriving when he did. He couldn't help but wonder if Light's loneliness would have eventually done him in. He remembered seeing Light's hand on Hayami's chest obviously holding him back when he walked in, but...he shook his head and swallowed more coffee. Light would never have given in to that walking STD factory, no matter how lonely he had been.
He started when the intercom buzzer went off, he was so deep in his thoughts. He got up and went to it, pressing the button. "Good morning Watari," he said with a yawn, "The coffee and breakfast was inspired."
"I had hoped you would get to it eventually," Watari chuckled over the speaker, "I thought I'd check before coming in to retrieve the trolley, wouldn't want to interrupt." L smirked before answering.
"That was wise of you," he answered, "The coast, as they say, is clear at the moment. Light is getting dressed and I'm having more coffee."
"I shall be in directly," he answered and snapped off. L turned from the intercom to see Light walking in from the bedroom, and for a moment the sight took his breath away. He would never get used to just how beautiful Light was, even after all this time. He was dressed casually, a simple v-necked dark sweater and jeans, but somehow on him even that looked elegant. Or maybe it was just because he hadn't seen him for so long, but he just looked...
"What's wrong did I leave soap or something on my face?" Light asked bringing L out of his reverie when he noticed him staring. L chuckled and shook his head.
"No, nothing's wrong I was just...admiring," he answered. "Now I'll get dressed, you start thinking about how they did it and exactly who did what." He stopped as he got to Light long enough to kiss him gently before going into the bedroom. Light grinned and watched him go before heading back to the kitchen table and making himself a cup of tea.
His phone rang as he sat down to sip it.
"Yagami," he answered taking the sip.
"Still so formal?" he heard Hayami's voice and sighed, "I had hoped that after last evening..."
"What can I do for you, Mr. Hayami," Light asked emphasizing the "Mr.", "Unless it's about the case..."
"It is Detective," Hayami said, "I've received a rather distressing call threatening my life, and although it isn't the first time, I thought under the circumstances I should let you know." Light frowned.
"A threat? What did it say?" he asked.
"I'll do you even better," Hayami answered, "It went directly to my answering machine so you can listen." a few moments later a voice, obviously distorted came across the phone. "I hope you have your things in order," the voice said then laughed, "You will be joining your friend shortly, you have been warned." then the call was over.
"Mr. Hayami don't let anyone into your apartment, and don't leave. I'm going to have officers assigned to you immediately. In the meantime I'm going to have someone get a copy of that message so I can study it."
"Someone? Not you?" Hayami asked then chuckled, "No I suppose not, now that your Ryuzaki is home. Fine, I will wait upon whomever you decide to send. " he hung up and Light did the same, turning at the sound of L coming back into the room.
"Anyone interesting?" L asked when he saw him put down the phone.
"Hayami..." Light began then held up his hands as he could see the thunderclouds beginning on L's face, "Now wait...I'm still working the case and he called because he has my number," he explained, "He received a death threat...a call warning him he was next."
"Really?" L said skeptically, "Rather convenient don't you think?" Light sighed.
"Perhaps," he said reaching for his phone again, "But to be on the safe side I'm going to get a detail to his apartment to make sure he's safe. Then I need to have someone pick up that message for me so we can study it." L shook his head.
"Why don't we just go and listen to it at the source," he suggested, "I'll bring my laptop, I can very easily tell whether it's faked or not. It's the weekend and I know getting things done at the NPA will be quite slow. Was the voice distorted?" Light nodded.
"Yes, absolutely. But...you want to go?" he asked and L nodded.
"Of course, best to hear it directly then trust to any tampering. Do you wish to call Matsuda?"
"Of course he's my partner, but I want to get a detail over there right away. You know you don't have to do this..." L smiled at him.
"First of all, if you think for one moment I'm letting you out of my sight any time soon you're sadly mistaken, and secondly, if you think for one moment I'm letting you be in his company for any length of time alone, you've completely lost your mind. Now, make your phone calls and I'll get my laptop." Light laughed and nodded before beginning the calls. He called his father to let him know what was happening and asked for a protective detail to be sent to Hayami's immediately and that he was on his way there now. He then called Matsuda and brought him up-to-date. His partner told him he 'd meet him at Hayami's just as soon as he got dressed and hung up.
"Matsuda's going to meet us there," Light said as L came back into the living room with his laptop.
"Good, you wish to drive?" he asked and Light nodded as he went for the extra keys to the Mercedes.
"Watari, L and I are going out and we're taking the car," L said into the intercom, "It's for a case and it wouldn't do for Light to show up with a chauffer." "Understood," Watari answered, "Enjoy." His nose wrinkled in distaste. "I doubt that, but at least it will be interesting." he answered then released the button. He watched as Light grabbed his badge and gun, a look of serious concentration on his face which he found a complete turn on..
"Let's go," Light told him and he nodded, moving to meet him at the door and surprised at the rush of excitement he suddenly felt at the idea of working with Light in the field.
"If anything happens," Light told him as they got into the elevator, "I want you and Hayami out of the way, do you understand?"
"I should have brought my gun," L grumbled, "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself." Light hit the stop button on the elevator.
"I'm not arguing with you about this," he said sternly, "It's possible they could try something while we're there, not knowing we're going to be there. If that's the case L, I want you and Hayami to get out of the way immediately, do you understand me? I can't be worried about you as well, I need to know that you will take care of yourself. Not that I'm expecting it, but just in case. Do you understand?" L pouted and crossed his arms but nodded.
"Fine, but it's a joke if I can't handle myself against some old woman and her ridiculous son but if anything happens I'll make sure I get out of the way..."
"And Hayami..." Light reiterated and L chuckled.
"Alright, and Hayami," he answered. Light smiled and kissed him quickly before releasing the elevator.
"Good," he said, "I'm proud of you." L snorted which made Light laugh out loud just as the elevator reached the garage floor and opened. They both sprinted out and to the car, Light jumping into the driver's side, waiting for L to get in and then speeding out of the garage.
