Chapter seven:
L blinks, though his left eye doesn't move as it became numb was it started to heal, as he looks at his reflection in the mirror.
Almost hesitantly he reaches up to touch the spot beside the scar on the spot between the scar and his nose.
Though L was glad that the wound became numb because before it did the pain was so bad he had trouble sleeping the one time he went to bed before it became numb making him not get really any rest until it numbed.
But even then he rarely slept as usual.
Light awaits for L to speak as he watches Ls reaction.
L lowers his hand and he turns to look to Light meeting his eyes.
Light gives L an assuring smile wanting L to speak first.
"Light..." L begins.
"Yes?" Light lowers the mirror while still watching L.
"It'll stay like that won't it?" L says.
Light nods. "Yeah. The red will probably fade a little more but that's pretty much how it's going to be now. I'm sure I could get you an eye patch if it'll make you feel better."
L frowns. "I refuse to wear one of those things." He lets Light know. "I don't judge if others do wear them but I personally don't like them."
"Ok no eye path then." Light tells L.
L relaxes and nods.
"Well if it helps I still think you look as good as before this happened." Light tells him wrapping an arm around Ls shoulders.
L smiles. "Thanks Light." He gets up. "I want to take a shower."
"Ok." Light gathers the bandages that dropped to the floor.
L heads into the bathroom closing the door behind himself.
Light throws out the bandages then heads to his own room to do some Kira work since L is now on his side he only has to hide from the task force.
L takes a shower and when he steps out he turns to the foggy mirror. He grabs the hair dryer and clears away the fog before putting the hair dryer back. He stares at himself noticing that his hair is a little down. His good eye settles on the reflection of his bad eye for a few moments before he grabs a hair brush and begins to brush his hair.
Light closes the death note as he just finished writing names down. He turns as the door open and gaps slightly.
L is standing there in his regular clothes but he styled his hairs little more down so it covers his bad eye as well as still letting him have a head of hair still even if the one eye is covered while making him look really sexy at the same time.
Light is left speechless at Ls appearance. He begins to have a feeling the change might have ties with an emotional change in L.
L blinks and looks at Light. "Too much of a change?"
Light closes his mouth and shakes his head. "No. You look very sexy."
L smiles glad that Light liked it.
Light gets up and goes over to L wrapping his arms around the others waist. He leans in and kisses him only to begin brining him towards the bed.
Neither could hold back any longer.
And Light finally officially claimed L as his own that night.
The next day Light is the first between him and L to enter the main room where the task force are already waiting.
"Good morning Light." Soichiro greets as the task force turn to Light. "How's L?"
"He's taking it well." Light tells the others. "He doesn't like even the thought of an eye patch so he in a way made his own cover." He moves towards his working station but turns as there is a gasp from the others.
L has come into the room and the change that makes him look extremely sexy which is even obvious to more than just Light.
Light smiles then gets to his working station and L also moves to his working station.
None of the task force bring attention to Ls change just in case L doesn't want to be reminded of what happened since he covered the scarred eye possibly have a 'out of sight out of mind' thing.
They continue working on the Kira case as if it's all still the same.
L pulls up the names of the criminals killed yesterday on his computer screen. "It appears that Kira has killed ten more last night." He hums to himself.
"Some more major criminals." Soichiro notes to himself.
"We Kira definitely isn't slacking." Light says.
"Of course not." L agrees.
They continue working on the Kira case and time seems to fly by as the next they know it the time is night meaning that the task force is going to get some rest.
The task force leave saying their goodbyes.
Now L and Light are alone together.
"So L." Light speaks. "I have been thinking."
L turns to Light. "About what?" He asks.
"About on what we can do about Misa. Since I am only pretending to like her since she's the second Kira." Light explains. "If we find a way to get rid of her then we won't have to worry about how to deal with her. There is someone else I found that would work better for the shinigami eyes." He is about to explain the eyes but L doesn't show any confusion.
"Yes. The shinigami eyes would be very helpful but Misa would really just get in the way." L says bringing a thumb to his bottom lip letting it rest there. "I understand the shinigami eyes as I have taken down a foe with said eyes. He was however born with the eyes so I believed that there was a way to obtain them without having to be born with them. I just don't know how to obtain them."
"Ah." Light says surprised about this new information but doesn't let it bother him as he never knew that someone had been born with shinigami eyes. "Well I was thinking….."
The next day…..
The task force arrive and Light is already working at his station.
L comes in and the others notice something is different. He is wearing a necklace of skull charms that is like a chocker. He doesn't seem bothered by what the others think of the change as he heads to begin work.
Light turns noticing it and raises an eyebrow but says nothing.
The task force look at each other as they start to feel the obvious that something has changed.
It's like something inside of L changed.
Or….
Snapped.
