This is a series of drabbles for all those crack lovers who thought Death Note needed to… well… Lighten up :D (note: I'm not good with humor, so tell me if I go to far to try to get a laugh from you all.)
And note: I do not own Death Note, though I wouldn't mind owning L… :D
Chapter Five: Bored
Light sighed. Ten minutes into confinement and he was already bored. He never realized that being chained up completely and placed under 24-hour surveillance could be so exhausting. Nor did Light think it would be this boring, either. The teen had assumed that it was exciting, with the suspense of your punishment hanging over your head…
Oh, how wrong he had been.
Instead of brooding over it, he began to brainstorm things to do. After all, he thought, it was going to be a long time until Rem finds someone to give the Death Note to… Right?
L, too, was bored. He had sat there in front of the computer monitor for a couple of days already from watching Misa. Now that Light was confined as well, there was nothing to do but wait….
And wait…
And wait.
Somehow, the idea didn't seem as enticing to either of them anymore. Both were thoroughly bored by the time Light had given up ownership of his Death Note… and passed out. When he woke up, the will to keep going was ignited again, as was L's due to the teenager's sudden burst of energy.
Then the boredom began again.
One night, L decided to help relieve both of their boredom by playing tic-tac-toe while the members of the investigation were asleep.
"Raito-kun, this is Ryuuzaki. Would Raito-kun like to play a game of tic-tac-toe?"
The teenager lifted his head slightly. "Would this clear me of being Kira?" He asked deliriously.
L paused. "No," he said, "it wouldn't, but it would help pass the time."
Within ten minutes, the two had already completed twenty games: no winners, just ties. They continued to play until Matsuda woke up and came over to check on Light, Misa, and Yagami-san. The young inspector noted that there were discarded sheets of paper with tic-tac-toe boards scribbled all over.
"Ryuuzaki, what are you doing?"
The scrawny detective jumped at the unexpected voice. He turned around. "Oh, Matsuda. I was just talking to Raito-kun for a while." L got off his chair and began to pick up the scattered pieces of paper, unceremoniously dumping them into Matsuda's arms.
"Go throw those away for me," the detective said. "As for you, Raito-kun… I will deal with you later." L excused himself to get a slice of some cake.
Author's Note: Okay... seriously running out of ideas here... the fact that I did a chapter that covered such a lame topic was because I'm running out of ideas... maybe I should buy five idea star candles? (HappySlip joke; from her YouTube video "IDEA") Lol jkjk. But people, any ideas? I seriously do need help... :D
