Light walked hurriedly toward Matsuda's house. He sincerely hoped that he'd find the man at home. He tried to think as little as possible about his accidental encounter with Lawliet, but it seemed to be a difficult task. His mind constantly replayed all those pictures before his eyes.
He knocked loudly on the door.
No answer.
He started pounding louder, and the door this time opened quickly. On the other side of the door Light saw a frightened dark-haired man with wide eyes.
"L-Light? W-what's going on...? "Matsuda asked confusedly, looking at Light with terrified look.
"Thank God you're home..."
"I'm home... but, what's the matter?"
"Um... nothing... I just wanted to ask you if you would go with me for a couple of beers?"
"Huh? Oh... O-okay." Matsuda was still confused. He paused then continued to speak, "I just need to change, then we can go. I'll be quick..."
Light remained waiting for him at the door. He tapped his foot nervously, and tried not to think about his new problem.
When the dark-haired man came out, they headed towards the tavern. They were silent, almost all the time until they arrived.
Matsuda noticed that something was troubling Light. They ordered draft beer and Matsuda decided to ask: "seems that something bothers you, Light."
"Bothers me...? No... no. Nothing bothers me, just... well... uh..." Light didn't know what to say. He didn't want to mention Lawliet.
'It will pass,' he thought. Then he remembered his other problem and decided to confide. "Anyway I think that after all something troubles me."
"You know that you can tell me." Matsuda encouraged him and at that moment the waiter brought them beer. They both took a sip and Light began to speak, "I have my own private bodyguard. Not that it would be a big deal, but I don't like the princess's idea at all. Misa was persistent in it and she organized it without my knowledge about it."
"Really..?"
"Yes. In a way, I think that it is unnecessary and exaggerated. And in a way it bothers me. I don't think Misa trusts me enough. She claims that she is doing it for my safety."
He sipped again and continued, "what do you think? You've been in this village since you were born, so you know the people who live here and I think you once told me that most of the residents are civilized people."
"Yes, the people here are quite okay. Little happens when there is an incident or something like that. People here live in harmony and are happy to help each other. There are of course a few bad people and those who want to steal but this village is known for having low crime. And the neighboring villages are similar in that."
"Oh... then I really don't know why all that fuss was about..."
"I don't know, really. But when you look at it this way - that It's better to think about safety in time than when it's too late. It's just proof that the princess cares about you. I think that it's way better to look at it from that angle."
"Maybe you're right..."
"Don't worry about such things, Light. Enjoy life and rejoice that love has been returned to you. Many of us are not so lucky."
"Yeah... I will try to calm down." Light replied thoughtfully as he took long sips of beer. Matsuda was surprised by the speed of Light's drinking, but didn't comment. He started to worry only when Light ordered a fourth beer and drank it at the same speed. He knew that Light was not used to drinking a lot and that only three beers were always enough for him. When Light came back from the bathroom and ordered a fifth beer, he knew something was wrong.
'Something else seems to be bothering him... or so it seems to me?'
The young man was already visibly drunk. Sometimes he would talk nonsense, supporting his head with his arms.
"Waiter, bring another one!"
"Light! That's enough! Let's go home..."
"No... hiccup! It's not enough... a few m-more beers I want t-to drink, hiccup!"
"You've already started hiccuping, that's enough! Let's go."
"Noooo, nooo... nooo..." Light lowered his head to the table and grabbed the sides of it. "No, I'm not going anywhere!"
Light's guard approached the table. Although Light asked him to keep his distance, he knew he had to act in such a situation. "Lord Light..?" He rested his palm on Light's shoulder and shook him slightly.
"And you are...?"
"I'm Light's private guard. I see Light is drunk. It's time to take him home. You're his friend?"
"Yes, I'm his friend. Sorry about this, Light mostly doesn't drink this much and he's not used to drink alcohol..."
"I noticed. If you don't mind, could you help me take him to the castle?"
"Of course."
"Okay, I'm going to pay and we can go."
Matsuda nodded, looked at Light again, and noticed that Light had fallen asleep.
Mogi returned and they both slowly lifted Light into a standing position. They put his each arm over their shoulders and they walked slowly toward the exit.
Light was in a semi-awake state, and drunk. He made it harder for them to carry him than he helped them.
"I, I... L...L-awliet..."
"What? Who is Lawliet?" His guard asked.
"I don't know..." Matsuda admitted, "he started speaking about him, or her, in the tavern, when the alcohol kicked in, but he spoke indistinctly, I couldn't understand anything..."
"Oh, well, then who knows..."
"It seemed to me that he was especially upset today. I haven't known him for a long time, but he always told me that he doesn't drink much and that he's not used to alcohol. I just wonder why he was so upset that he decided to get drunk..."
"I don't know. This is my first day being his private bodyguard, and right to tell you, I only met him today."
"Yes, he mentioned it."
The road to the castle seemed longer, but when they arrived they immediately put Light into bed to sleep.
"Thank you for your help sir...?"
"It's Matsuda, Touta Matsuda."
"Nice to meet you. My name is Kanzo Mogi."
"Nice to meet you too. Well, I'm going. I see that Light remains in good hands."
"Yes... I'll stay by his side now that he's in this condition."
Light didn't seem to fall asleep right away, he rolled over in bed and mumbled something they couldn't understand. Luckily for him, and for them, he was covered with a blanket so they couldn't see his hardness starting to form in his pants.
Both men turned their attention back to him when he began to speak something incomprehensible. The only thing they understood was that name - Lawliet. Then Light rolled onto his stomach, groaned and soon fell asleep.
"Well, I'm going now, for real. He finally fell asleep."
"Okay, and thanks again."
"It's okay. Anytime. But I sincerely hope that this will not happen again, at least not soon."
"Yeah, me too..."
"Hold on. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Mogi was left alone with him. He took to reading the newspaper so that his time would pass faster. It was only five o'clock, and he didn't expect the princess to return soon. After about half an hour, he went to look for Rem to prepare a bowl for Light in case he wake up and vomit.
"What happened..?" Rem asked as she entered the room.
"He got drunk."
"Drunk? Why would Light get drunk?"
"I don't know. He went to a tavern with his friend, and didn't stop drinking. I don't know the reason, why."
"Hmm... I have no idea what might have prompted him to do that. Maybe just curiosity... or maybe he wanted to see how much he could handle."
"It may be."
"I just hope he gets a little sober until Princess Misa comes."
"Yeah me too."
"She will be furious if she finds him like this. I'm going to change him into his pajamas now."
When she changed his clothes, Light woke up. He immediately felt nauseous and started vomiting. Luckily, Rem foresees the situation so she put the bowl under his chin in time.
...
"Light? Light...?"
"Huh...? Wha-?"
"Wake up."
Light rubbed his eyes, slowly coming to wakeful state. His head ached and he was hungover.
"Light?"
"What? I wan't to sleep...!"
"You were drunk, Light!"
"Ha-?"
"I said you were drunk. Why did you drink that much?"
Slowly he began to recognize the princess's face in front of him.
He remembered drinking.
He knew that Misa would probably be furious.
But he couldn't resist drinking anyway.
The question was: 'why...?'
And then he remembered the real reason he was drunk.
'Shit!'
He rose to a sitting position, and shifted nervously in the bed. The effect of alcohol was still present, but not to such an extent.
"So? Enlighten me."
"What?"
"Why you drink that much?"
"I... I... I don't know..."
"Light..." Misa crossed her arms and stared at him.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me. I'm really sorry. It will not happen again."
"I hope so. For our own good. And mostly, for yours."
Light felt like a scolded child. He bowed his head and didn't have the courage to look the princess in the face again when he asked, "Can I continue to sleep, now? Please..."
Misa sighed loudly. "Of course you can. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."
"Okay... thanks."
The blonde haired woman just turned and left the room. Mogi followed her, and said good night. He returned to his usual place, a small room next to Light's, to sleep and be close if Light needed anything. But he doubted it. He was sure Light would sleep through the night.
Light was lying in bed that night for the first time alone. He tried to take a comfortable position for sleeping again, but he didn't manage to immediately fall asleep. He began to think again of Lawliet and how Lawliet looked irresistible in the human body.
He shuddered at the thought and felt a hardness in his crotch.
"Fuck! Ungh..."
He buried his head in the pillow.
It really was frustrating.
'I have to stop thinking about him. Somehow I managed to control my thoughts about him so far, so I have to continue to do so.'
He tried to empty his mind and not think about anything. Since he couldn't do that, he tried to concentrate on some completely different things that have nothing to do with L.
He managed not to think about him for a few minutes, but his hardness always reminded him of L. 'I have to get rid of this if I want to fall asleep.' He slipped his hand into the bottom of his pajamas and briefs and grabbed his erection. He sighed loudly and lay on his back with his legs spread still covered with a blanket.
This was the first time he touched his cock with the intention to pleasure himself, now that he was in human form. He wasn't used to it, but the feeling was equally pleasant.
"Aaahhh...oooh... mhmmm."
No. He definitely wasn't doing it because of those piercing dark eyes.
And, he wasn't doing it because of that (damn hot) look in them.
And, surely, he wasn't doing it because of that damn smile of his.
Like he wasn't doing it because of the hotness of that body...
"AAAhhh... aaahnmm..."
He moaned louder as he began to approach the climax. He had his eyes tightly shut and tried not to think of that particular person. He tried not to think at all.
But his thoughts shifted to what happened a few weeks ago.
"AAAAaaahhh..."
It was deep and hard.
And the next thought that formed in his mind was: what kind of experience would that be in human form?
Then his middle finger slid between his buttocks and began to search for entrance as he continued to stroke his erection with his other hand.
When he found his hole, he pushed it softly deeper and deeper. It was awkward at first, but he slowly got used to it. A pleasant feeling of excitement regained and he continued to stimulate himself in two places, moaning and panting.
When he finally reached his climax the only thing in his mind was his first sexual experience with the octopus. That was a moment of weakness which he couldn't control. The warm seed ended up in his palm and on the bedding, but Light didn't care. Still under the influence the alcohol, he only took his hands out of his briefs, fixed the bottom of his pajamas, turned to the side and fell asleep.
