CHAPTER 2

Standing in the shower, Light turned the water all the way to freezing cold, still incredibly shocked from what just happened.

"No, I'm straight and attracted to girls," he grumbled and slammed a fist against the wall, "I have a girlfriend for crying out loud! I can't possibly be gay. Heterosexual is what I am, yes."

He started to lather his hair with vanilla smelling shampoo, sighing, lost in his tangled web of troubled thoughts.

Why did L have to do. . . that? Just because we happen to be bound together by chains doesn't mean that he can just go and do that! I have some rights to my personal space, and, yes, lips! I hate everything about that guy. The stupid way he sits. His pathetic case of insomnia that wakes me up at the middle of the night, sounds of sugar cubes being dropped into L's tea cup. Those weird dark circles underneath his black, calculating, eyes. His attitude around me, especially, pisses me off. The boner he caused when he fell on my soft part and had the nerve to mention it! Insensitive ass. I didn't even know what he meant by 'mini experiment'.

Sure, I am now scarred from that kiss.

Definitely, scarred for life. However, how come I. . . didn't mind it that much? I mean, kissing other guys is strange enough. It isn't like his lips were chapped or had bad breath or anything like that. He actually tasted quite good like strawberries mixed with milk chocolate. And his lips were delightfully warm and inviting, unlike how cold he can act at times. His hair would've been very soft to touch too. Perhaps even silky-

Horrified, I dropped the soap from my hand.

"What the hell?! Did I actually just think that?! Goddammit... I'm not gay. Not gay," my voice trembled with uncertainty.

Damn him.

On cue, a voice chimed in, worry laced in the words, "Ah, Light-kun, you should distressed. Do you require any assistance washing?"

"N-no, creepy bastard!"

"I am simply concerned, all those loud noises and shouts. You are normally very silent when showering."

"Why do you record this information? Does this help you with the Kira investigation in any way?"

"No, it is for my own personal reasons."

"Like I said, creepy bastard. Leave me alone."

"Like I said," he mimicked my tone on pin point, "I cannot leave you alone due to this two metre chain connecting us."

Light let out a sigh. "Just shut up, okay? I'd like to shower in peace."

"You appear calmer talking to me, than 'showering in peace' which actually means contemplating to yourself and freaking out in the shower," he deduced, hilarity evident.

"Shut up."

"As you wish," his voice lowered, "but, the experiment isn't over just yet, Light-kun."

"What the hell do you mean by that, Ryuzaki?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all," Light could swear he could hear him chuckle ever so lightly.

". . . Why are you hugging me in bed, Ryuzaki?"

"I want to. Do you have a complaint?"

"Of course, I do," he growled, trying to pry his arms off his waist, "unlike you, I actually sleep and need it! I can't do that if somebody is hugging the death out of me."

"I see, then," he released his arms and then wrapped his legs around him, "is this better, Light-kun?"

"No, worse. Just, ugh, just don't touch me. I'll sleep on the floor-"

"I will join you on the floor too. Although I'd prefer to do it on the bed."

Light blinked twice before turning tomato red. "W-what?!"

"Part of the procedure of my experiment I am conducting on you still," he mumbled, sucking his thumb, "you know how I love to prove others wrong."

"Yeah, I know that, but, I am not willing to do anything to you," Light retorted, almost snorting in disbelief.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, Ryuzaki, as you may know, Misa and I are in love-"

"One-sided love," he corrected, smirking.

"No, I love her very much," my eyes narrowed in annoyance.

"No, you love her. . . eyes very much. Lying is futile against me, Light-kun. I am the best detective in the world."

"How about British detective, Sherlock? Are you smarter than him?"

"On some levels, yes," he murmured, "in a way, he was my role model until he decided to commit suicide. Unfortunate waste of intelligence, really."

Light realized he hit a delicate topic and felt guilty.

"Sorry, didn't mean to bring the topic of death."

"What do you mean, Light-kun? You kill people all the time, if you are indeed Kira."

"Kira kills criminals. Bad people. He's giving justice to Japan, this world."

"No. Who gives him the right to judge all these 'criminals'? Any one of them can easily change and repent their wrong doings."

"What if Kira takes that in consideration?"

"He has not since all these people have been killed already. He may even view himself as a god, when, in reality, he is just another criminal killing off others."

Light gritted my teeth. No, he thought, don't rage. You will blow your cover and all your plans will be ruined. That can't happen. The world deserves to be a better place, free of crime. Utopia. Isn't that what everybody dreams of? His intentions are good. They are not the same as the intentions of a damn criminal's. He just doesn't see the result. In the end, he will be proven wrong. And Light will be right.

Something soft gingerly brushed against his cheek.

"You seem stressed," L observed, hand slowly moved from his cheek to his shoulder.

By instinct, Light tensed at his touch, not wanting to admit that he was resisting against shivers. Misa also tried to approach him like this on his bed, but, he wasn't affected and found what she was doing funny. Why was it different with him? Why?

"Would you like me to make you feel," the hand dangerously moved to the centre of his chest, eyes completely focused, "better?"

Biting my lip, Light asked in a quiet voice, "What do you gain from this, L?"

"Results, Light-kun, results," his lips curved into a cute small smile.
