CHAPTER 7
"Light! It's been totally too long since we've seen each other!" A certain blonde gothic lolita happily exclaimed and attacked a surprised Light with an inseparable hug.
"We saw each other a few days ago, Misa," Light pointed out while chuckling, when in reality, he wanted to grimace.
But, he had a point to prove. To a certain stubborn detective. He wanted a game? A game, he'd get. It's too bad that L hates losing. He was going to make him regret for making such accusations about him. When this was over. . . Oh, anybody would hate to be in L's feet.
"I still missed you so much," she tightened her arms around the brunette, "you're the best boyfriend ever."
An impressive fake warm smile was painted across Light's face and he pulled away. "Same to you."
Misa's eyes widened at the distance between L and Light. "Oh my gawd, the–the handcuffs are seriously gone, yay! No offense, Ryuzaki! Anyway, Light, do you know what this means?"
Before he could answer, L cut him off. "Light can finally spend the night with you, Misa-Misa. Hopefully, he will not be so shy."
Light's mind flashed back to the many 'close' moments he shared with the insomniac and those damn handcuffs.
"Aww, Light, don't be so ashamed," Misa giggled profusely, "it'll be a first for both of us. A stepping stone to our relationship!"
The detective saw the glimmer of confusion cross Light's brown eyes and he rolled his eyes. "Your cheeks were clearly red earlier, Light-kun. Embarrassed?"
He blinked his eyes twice and made an excuse on the spot, "No! I, just, the topic of intercourse makes me uncomfortable."
"You should of told me earlier, Light! Like I said, you don't have to be ashamed! If you have anything to tell me, go on ahead! I'm totally fine with anything as long as it's reasonable."
L snickered. "Yes, Light, listen to your girlfriend and tell her about your–"
"Shut up, Ryuzaki," Light vehemently stated.
"Huh?" Misa looked up to Light, pouting, "what is it you should tell me, Light?"
"Nothing. Ryuzaki's just messing with us because he's an as–"
"Detective who can successfully deduce," L corrected, smirking.
"Uh, anyway, since I arrived," Misa loudly stated to stop the two from getting into another argument, "when do I start doing the makeover thingy? I don't see any other girl around."
"Ah, it's me who wants it," L plainly said.
Misa's expression went from happy to confused to shocked to even more puzzled. Whirling to face the oblivious detective, she completely freaked out. "Wh–wh–what?! Are you sure you aren't on the other side of the fence, Ryuzaki?! I mean, cross-dressing, isn't exactly a thing boys usual do! This is like some yaoi manga!"
"I'll let you decide, Misa-chan," he sighed shortly, "it was your boyfriend's idea. Why don't you confront him?"
"Light, why?"
He pretended to be sheepish and ran a hand through his neat brown hair. "I just thought Ryuzaki should go out more often. Every day, it seems like he gets paler and more irritable."
"Maybe the reason is because a particular somebody doesn't want to–"
"Be chained to somebody else, yeah."
The blonde glanced between the two and commented, "You know, you guys are acting kinda weird today."
"No, Misa-Misa, Light is weird. As in the context of–"
"Being sleep-deprived because you keep waking me up!"
"I apologize for my incurable case of insomnia, Light-kun. It can't be helped."
"Wait. Wait. Are you telling me," Misa dramatically gasped, "you guys have slept together before?! You're far past the other side of the fence, Ryuzaki!"
"Technically, yes–"
"Of course not, haha! Don't listen to this idiot. He probably just needs more sugar for his brain," Light laughed, a tinge of anger threatening to escape, "or, perhaps, he thinks it's April Fool's Day today."
"I am not an idiot, Light-kun," his eyes turned steely.
"Oh? I suggest retaking an IQ test."
"Is that so? If I am an idiot, then, that makes you worse than stupid."
Did he just call 'Kira' stupid? The very person who is helping this world? He clenched his fists and countered back in a sugar coated voice, "No, actually, I think, in this case, it's the opposite, Ryuzaki."
"Guys stop!" Misa shouted then lowered her voice. "It's still morning, and, I have a job to be done! Even if it's a very unusual one! Ryuzaki, come with me! I have a lot of work to do with you!"
Before Misa dragged L into the nearest bathroom with her bag, he inquired, "What do you imply, Misa-chan?"
Blankly, L stared at his more feminine reflection in the mirror, not liking how make up felt on his face.
"So, Ryuzaki, what do you think?" Misa smiled and giggled. "You actually don't look so bad as a girl! Good thing you don't have hairy legs, or, we'd have to wax it off clean!"
Instead of his usual white long sleeved shirt and jeans, he wore something similar but definitely more girly. He still wore a white top, but, it had a collar and a black ribbon hanging in the middle. L wore a short black skirt with horizontal white ruffles. His pale legs were covered with matching black stockings up to his thigh, a pair of ribbons dangling on each side of his kneecaps. He was grateful it wasn't the full stockings or he would be immensely awkward to move.
At first, Misa fix his hair so he had similar pigtails at the top. However, he refused to be seen in public looking like some 'sleepy female toddler who just arrived at kindergarten'. Instead, Misa used some hair serum to somewhat tame his spiky black locks. It appeared longer now and straighter in a wavy sense. His hair now ended a little past his shoulder. The blonde had attempted to straightened his hair, but, he refused, not wanting his hair to be damaged. Even if he doesn't take very good care of it.
"Soo? Is it good enough for your standards?" Misa excitedly prodded him.
". . . does make up always feel like this? My eyelashes feel heavier. Skin contained under all that powder you put. That horrible scent you sprayed all around me. I never realized females had to go through this routine regularly," his thumb hovered near his lipstick covered lips, "this substance you put on my mouth does not taste sweet at all–"
"What are you doing?! No, mister, after an hour," Misa screeched, "I'm not letting you ruin my masterpiece!"
Reluctantly, L put his hand down, still observing himself in the mirror.
The make up Misa applied made him truly look like a girl. He was still pale, but, not sickly pale looking. More like the shade most Asian girls would die for. That perfect porcelain shade. It magically covered his intensely dark eye bags. That didn't stop the blonde from applying black eye liner over his eyes. It made his unreadable dark eyes seem bigger than usual. His long eyelashes were more prominent now with the coats of mascara, somehow not clumping up. L managed to convince Misa to go easy on the lipstick and eye shadow. His lips looked naturally pinkish, eyelids lightly dusted with brown-pink.
The only thing she didn't touch were his eyebrows since they were covered by his bangs.
"Wait, I know!" Misa rushed to search her bag for something and fished out a black hair bow clip, decorated with white around.
L felt wary, not wishing to add another thing to himself. "I'm assuming that goes with my skirt?"
"No, but, come to think of it, it kinda does! Maybe if you were a girl, you'd grow up to be some fashion designer."
"I could be if I desired to," he murmured, shaking that thought aside. "Tell me that is not going on my legs or shirt. Again."
"No, silly," she laughed and clipped it into his hair, "it's for this!"
"Am I ready now? I'd like to actually go outside today," L dryly stated, dying to get out of the damn bathroom already.
"You know, I think you make a way better girl than a guy," Misa tilted her head from side to side, inspecting every inch of the slouched figure.
"Yay? . . . Not every day I receive that type of compliment."
"No problemo! But, seriously, your skin is seriously so soft and blemish-free!"
"Just the result of staying inside 24/7."
Misa frowned at L and pointed to his back as if there was bug on it. "As a girl, you have to have good posture! And, don't do that weird sitting thing. Or else, your panties might show! Uh, and, basically, just do everything like you'd think I'd do! Yeah."
"If I sit like you do, my deduction skills lower 40%."
"So? Not like Kira's gonna be where you are today."
"I sincerely doubt that statement," L murmured, about to suck his thumb.
"And, absolutely, no thumb sucking! Bad Ryuzaki!" She slapped away his hand from his mouth.
"Bad habits are hard to break, as they say."
"Ugh, you better fix those habits. Just for today. Let's go see what Light thinks of the new Ryuzaki-chan!"
"Why the hell is L dressed like that?"
He laughed out loud, rather hysterically. So loud that it echoed around the almost empty room. The telescope used to look through the window long forgotten as he continued laughing. His hand grabbed one of the jars of strawberry jam on the badly scratched and stained table, using only his bare hands to devour the spread. The red substance covered his entire mouth, bits of it sticking to his cheeks and tip of his nose.
"Mmm. . . Perhaps, this is a sign for our reunion to happen soon! I hope Light figured out my little riddle by now," a malicious grin grew across his face.
In an almost drunk manner, he stood up and raced towards the telescope.
"The Second Kira, hm? This is going to be more fun than I originally thought," his eyes flashed red, "it is a shame that all three of them will be leaving this world very soon. . . . Just a shame."
A/N: Wow, I think, this might be the longest chappie. :3 I'm surprised at myself, lmao.
Sorry if Misa sounded OOC/annoying xD This isn't a Misa x Light fic, so, I decided 'what the heck I'll write whatever comes first'. Alright, I'll be honest, I have no idea how to do goth lolita makeup. So, I just searched for images and describe it the best I could, haha! The next chapter will probably include BB and JealousFemDisguised!L and AlmostOverDenial!Light. ^^;; It might be updated on the weekend since I am a bit busy tomorrow. And that's the reason why I decided to write an omake and why this thing is terribly long. XDD

x Omake x
(alternate convos I didn't add bcuz too much OOC xD)
"Wait. Wait. Are you telling me," Misa dramatically gasped, "you guys have slept together before?! You're far past the other side of the fence, Ryuzaki!"
"Ever since we were handcuffed, we've been sleeping together-"
"What the hell are you saying, Ryuzaki? It's not like that at all!"
"So, let me get this straight. That whole mouth-on-mouth thing meant nothing at all? And, plus, you were quite erec-"
"Goddammit, Ryuzaki, Misa doesn't need to hear this!"
"WHAAAATTTT YOU GUYS HAVE KISSED?! WAIT UNTIL I WRING MY HANDS AROUND THAT SCRAWNY PALE NECK OF YOURS UGGHHH!" The blonde pounced and L easily knocked her out.
"Why the fuck did you knock out my girlfriend?! Shit, have you gone mental?"
"Sorry. Miscalculated on my part."
"Yeah, some little 'miscalculation' you made," he sarcastically retorted, pissed as hell.
"Let's be truthful Light-kun, you don't really think of Misa-Misa as your girlfriend. . . do you?"
"Why do I get the feeling that question will bring us back to the topic of my sexuality?"
"You deduced correctly."
"Then screw your question."
"You are indirectly screwing your own sexuality."
"N-No, I'm not. I am trying not to resort to violence."
"And you seriously believe vulgar language will affect me?"
"You know what? Screw you and your deductions. I hope you burn in hell."
"More accurately, I believe you would go to hell."
"Why would you think that?"
"Because you are so hot," Light's breath hitched until L continued, "-headed. Very stubborn and hot-headed."
"Same for you!"
"I am now, 42% positive that you are, in fact, homosexual or bisexual, Light-kun."
"What the hell brought this up?"
"Your breath hitched a while ago. . . love."
"W-what?!"
"See, did it again, handsome."
"S-SHUT UP!"
L smiled. "This will be the easiest game I have played."
