CHAPTER 14
"Yes," Near smirked. "Good job, Kira-san."
"I am not-"
"We can argue about that another damn time," Matt glared at both of us. "Our priority is to track down L because some inconsiderate asshole-"
Light's eye twitched in irritation. "Excuse me?"
Mello sighed. "L may not look like it but once something to that degree happens. . . he likes to run away. This isn't the first time. When he got dumped too, this happened-"
"Anywho," the smoker seemed the most annoyed out of us all. "Let's all split up and search for him. He couldn't have gone far. Look everywhere."
"We know." Near rolled his eyes. "We aren't as stupid as you, gamer freak."
This time, Matt's eye twitched beneath his goggles. "Pardon me? What about your unhealthy consumption of chocolate?"
"You insolent fool, you're confusing me with this equally stupid person," the white haired boy motioned towards the scowling Mello.
"Chocolate has more benefits than staring at a screen hours upon hours-"
"I refuse to listen to any of you guys any longer!" Light blew up in frustration and stomped outside, feeling the breeze tickle his face.
L running from his problems?
Bullshit.
He'd be the person charging in the first line of operations in a warfare. . . right?
Or, maybe, his walls have finally broken. He's gone past the point of broken. No. That doesn't sound like the L he knew. No way. Someone must have replaced the Ryuzaki he's grown to love- Wait. Love? No, Light Yagami, he hates him. Both of them hate each other. That's how it is supposed to be. That is how it is meant to be. Then. . . why does this keep lingering? Thoughts of them not being enemies. Being friends. Trusting each other.
"What do you mean-"
Light's thoughts blurred when L's lips quickly captured his. His lips felt warm. He was frozen in shock. None of their lips were moving. L's eyes held no emotion, surveying the brunette's reaction, still against him. Immediately, Light pushed him off, heavily breathing with pink faintly dusted on his cheeks. The detective still looked the same like kissing other guys were completely normal.
Violently, Light shook his head in a profuse matter.
That was a bad memory that should never be brought up. Unconsciously, his mind began to wander off in the past.

Goddammit.
Light stop dawdling in the past!
"You have to focus, idiot," he slapped his forehead. "Your job is to find out where the hell that jerk went."
Think Light Yagami.
You've received countless 100's on tests. This has to be easier. Just one person. One task.
Think.
What would the first place a depressed insomniac go for some alone time? Somewhere quiet. Somewhere he could not be noticed or disturbed. A place that is naturally quiet by nature.
"That's it," Light bitterly muttered. "I know where that bastard is."
~LawLight~LightLight~LawLight~
There he was.
Sitting in the corner in his usually upright fetus position.
A World Encyclopedia hid his face from the world. His pale fingers gripped the pages. The area was dimly lighted up. It was too dark to see the water streaks staining his cold cheeks. A world without Watari. . . . it almost seemed surreal. He was always by his side. He would always be his moral support. Always. He just cannot enter lives and destroy them in an instant. It is not fair. But then again, when was life ever fair? His own parents abandoned him in front of Wammy's orphanage. Just one glance and they did not want him.
Heavily, he sighed and leaned against the solid wall.
How could he be the world's top detectives and be unable to save one of the most important people in his life?
Useless.
Worthless.
Freak.
Hands clutched the tangled black mess a top of his head. Why did it have to be this way? It should have been him. Not Watari. He deserved better than such a gruesome death. He did nothing wrong. This only accumulated to his insecurity. This was why he did not make friends quite often. He discovered that more risks are taken when developing deep relationships. Caring opens up more weaknesses. Holding this position required to fill in those gaps. He could not afford others to bring him down with them.
And yet. . .
What makes him so different?
He knew why. It was just a matter of accepting it. Could he? Was he ready to face the consequences along with it? Was he trust worthy enough to be with? Too many questions. Too little time. He was supposed to hate everything about him. They were polar opposites in this 'war' of justice. Yet he found himself being infatuated with nearly everything. Similar to how a little child views a huge candy factory. He bit on the thumb he was previously sucking on.
He wanted to be with him.
No matter what happened in the after math.
Every little detail of him was etched in his mind.
The way his hair looked on a daily basis.
How he reacted when accused of being Kira.
The fact that he managed to look good every day.
It was killing him from the inside out. Why were neither of them making a move?
Perhaps L was wrong. Perhaps Light is indeed in love with Misa. Perhaps he does not feel that way at all towards him. Love was a very tricky thing to decipher. There was no exact science to it or equations to find answers. There are countless theories floating around. None with concrete evidence though.
"I . . ."
He blinked.
"Do I love Light-kun?"
His face scrunched in puzzlement and then-
"You unbelievable insomniac bastard!"
