Another chapter! I know…I realize that I'm not covering very much time at the moment…but L's about 17 weeks pregnant…I'll let you do the math and figure it out. XD
Disclaimer: Man, I wish I owned L. It would be just so awesome…and I wouldn't have such a horrible time drawing his hair.
"Raito-kun," L murmured. "May I borrow some of your clothes?"
"Why?" Light asked suspiciously.
"My clothes do not fit me properly," L said sadly. "I seem to have outgrown them."
"And you think my clothes will fit you? Are you trying to tell me I'm fat or something?"
L sighed. "I am very thin and Raito-kun is not, so naturally his clothes would accommodate my growing size a little easier."
"You wear baggy clothes to begin with,' Light argued.
L reached around and found the label on the back of his shirt. He read the size.
Light admitted defeat. "Okay, so I'm one size bigger than you. But when you grow again, you'll stretch all my clothes out."
"I will just need to borrow one complete set of clothes," L said calmly. "Preferably a shirt and a pair of pants similar to the ones I wear."
Light gave him a flat look. 'Do I look like I wear anything like what you wear?"
L shrugged. 'I will have to make sacrifices. I will wear something that Raito-kun does not wear very often."
After fifteen minutes of raiding Light's wardrobe, L emerged in a long-sleeved collared white shirt and a pair of khaki pants. 'How do I look?" L asked.
Light eyed him critically. L had one side of the collar up and one side down. The sleeves were a little long and the cuffs unbuttoned. The pants were very baggy in the legs and a little long in the length. Light sighed. "You'll grow into them."
L beamed. "Thank you, Raito-kun. I shall cherish the opportunity to wear them."
Light shook his head. "Sometime I really don't get you."
L blinked in surprise. "My behavior is baffling to Raito-kun?"
"Yes it is. You're not acting normal for yourself. You're too…happy."
"Pregnancy does make one very emotional," L said sagely. "So many hormones."
"True."
"Besides, L continued brightly, my morning sickness is gone."
"Well, that's good."
"I'm beginning to enjoy being pregnant," L said cheerfully. "I do regret the loss of my candy, but-"
'Wait a minute," Light interrupted him. "You're not through morning sickness. Just this morning you walked into the kitchen while I was making toast, took one look at me, and ran to the bathroom."
"Yes, I seem to have developed a sudden inexplicable aversion to butter," L said calmly. "I no longer feel nauseous, except when I witness Raito-kun buttering toast. Even talking about butter upsets my sensitive stomach."
"Then let's change the subject," Light said quickly, noticing how pale L was getting.
L grinned. "At least I am no longer sick for no reason. I have so much more energy when I am able to digest all my food."
"Yeah, you've been almost hyper all week. Are you sure Watari isn't slipping you candy somehow?"
"Watari and I are currently not on good terms," L said solemnly. "I must rely on Raito-kun to keep our pantry and refrigerator amply stocked."
"Oh," Light said quietly. He looked worried. "Maybe I should go shopping for some more food."
"Our food stocks are sufficient for now," L said firmly. "But Raito-kun could make me a drink if he wishes to be helpful." L said hopefully.
Light sighed. "Okay, I'll get out the blender and make you a smoothie."
"Thank you, Raito-kun," L said happily.
Light returned a few minutes later with a glass of thick pink liquid. L eagerly took the glass from Light's hands and sipped it with a straw. "Hmmn," L murmured appreciatively. "Strawberries, banana, vanilla ice cream, ice, and a hint of a taste I do not recognize."
Light smirked. "You don't want to know what I put in it."
"Yams?" L asked suspiciously.
"No, silly. No more yams."
"Then what is it?" L asked curiously.
"I won't tell you."
"Raito-kun is so cruel to me," l lamented.
"Okay, fine," Light growled. "I put an iron supplement in there."
L made a face.
'What? You can't really taste it."
'Raito-kun has betrayed my trust," l hissed.
"Okay, next time you can make your own drink."
L looked sad. "I apologize, Raito-kun." He set the glass outside and reached out to embrace Light.
Light smiled and wrapped his arms around L's thin frame. "This is a nice change. I can handle you like this, well behaved and repentant L."
"Don't get too attached," L muttered. 'It's just a hormonal imbalance."
