"Who?" said the small baby, his big black eyes starting up to Light's brown ones.
"Ryu--" It was still very surprising, and complicated…Light cleared his throat, bending down to the little one. "Ryuuzaki is a baby?" He said, to himself, but apparently the tyke over heard.
"Who is Ryuuzaki?" He said,
"…" Light blinked, he certainly looks like him. He was right, the little baby had messy black hair, like L did. He had tiny black shadows, under his tiny wide eyes, like L…
"You are just like him," said Light,
"Like who?" L placed his tiny finger in his mouth, gently sucking on it.
"Like--"
"Ryuuzaki!" a voice interrupted Light, calling out to the computer room, he could recognize it as Matsuda's voice,
"Damn! Uh…" Light looked down on the little baby, "Ever played Hide and Seek?"
"Oh! I love Hide and Seek, it's my favorite game!" said the baby, his little face lighting up with joy.
"That's great!" Light gathered L's clothing, along with the little baby, wrapping it around him. He ran up to the couches, placing him behind a few cushions.
"What are you doing?" The little one asked, pushing the white shirt off his head,
"You're hiding, we're playing hide and seek, remember?" said Light, his heart beat fasten when he saw Matsuda walk in the room,
"But it doesn't work if you hide me for me--" But Light cut off the baby, by throwing the shirt back on his head, and placing a cushion, gently on top.
"Shhh!" He whispered, "Just stay quiet, ok?" The cushion mumbled, "Right…" Light cleared his throat, as Matsuda came up to him.
"Hello," He greeted Light, and Light greeted back, Matsuda smiled but then noticed the cushion on the couch moving. "Uhh…is someone in there?" Matsuda asked, wide eyed,
"Huh?" Light glanced back the moving cushion, "Of course not! Uh…"
Matsuda reached out, pulling the cushion off the moving thing, "This is…this is Ryuuzaki's clothes! What are they doing here?!" Matsuda stared down at the pile, forgetting that someone was actually in there.
"I don't know…" Light said, trying his best to sound calm, "I found them, and I put them here on the couch,"
"Oh!" Matsuda still looked unsure, "But does this mean that…L is somewhere around here, naked!?" His eyes got wider, and he gulped,
"Heheh, I…don't think so," Light said, although that was kind of untrue, for L was indeed naked, as he hid under his own clothes, that were way too big for him now.
"I still find it strange that he just left his clothes lying around like that…and I had a question for him too,"
"Well, he's not here, maybe try looking for him later?" Light suggested, hoping that would send Matsuda away, and it did.
"Uhh…sure I guess…" Matsuda rubbed the back of his head, "If you see him, be sure to tell him I was looking for him, ok?"
"Yeah," Matsuda waved good-bye to Light, Light did the same.
As soon as Matsuda was out of the room, Light snatched the cushion and white shirt off the baby L. He was staring down at a tiny baby, who was laying face down on the couch, his little face buried on it.
I didn't kill him…did I? But no. As Light bend down closer, he saw that little L was actually asleep. Wow… L never slept, so this was the first time Light actually saw him snoozing, and he was a baby! Uh oh… The worry came back to him, L was a baby! A baby!?
"How did this happen?" He asked himself, but just as he said that, the little tyke yawned. The baby sat up, yawning into his hand, stretching his tiny arms. "You finally found me!" He said, "I waited for so long…but you never came, so I feel asleep." He bit on his thumb, "But you hid me yourself, you should've found me in a flash…"
Light just glared at the baby. He can talk…but he's just a baby…Was L that smart back when he was young?
The baby noticed the sudden silence, "What's wrong?" He asked,
"…Do you know who you are?"
"Of course I do!" L said, then gave Light a look that said 'what are you on!?'
"…then tell me, what's your name?"
"I'm not suppose to tell strangers my name," L smiled, Light didn't. Damn, even as a baby it's hard getting his name…
"You can tell me, I'm your friend," Light put on a friendly smile,
"No you not. I don't even know you!" L sucked his thumb,
"Well…" Light cleared his throat, "How bout this? We spend some time together, I'll take you out for ice cream, then you can tell me your name." He smiled once more, trying his best to look friendly and warm towards the baby, "What do you say?"
The tiny baby sat there, his wide eyes staring up at Light for a moment…he bit his thumb, once again. He was thinking. "…Ice cream?" He said,
"Yes, I'll get you some ice cream," Light answered,
"Ok! Sure, I go with you for some ice cream," Baby L smiled,
"Perfect," Light's smile grew wider.
A/N) Oh no! Is he going to do something bad to a BABY!? Or is he going to just take him out for ice cream, and nothing more? You'll have to find out later, sorry! Thanks for reading. Sorry this was short, I REALLY should write more. I probably will next chapter, I'm kind of on fire with this!
