Light and L were off work for months. Light was having a hard time his mind was all jumbled up, thinking about L, thinking about Misa and just thinking about life…life as KIRA!
The news on Misa had been out for a few months now and Light was recovering slowly, but it was hard knowing the killer was still at large that many other women could be dead because of that man. Light was still unsure about L he had kissed him after all. Light tossed and turned every night thinking did L love him? Why did that man kill Misa? What did she do wrong? The same questions running over and over again through his mind it was scary he couldn't sleep. L had left the pillows out of the equation for sleeping arrangements he kept saying it was so Light felt more comfortable so he wasn't alone, however Light didn't think it was true…
It was getting to be a long time now about 9 months since they had been in there work place and Light had nearly recovered he was sleeping normally, and had started eating properly he was back to his normal self. He thought it was finally time to ask L again he was more confident than before and decided to go for a different approach to thing this time, not so full on.
L was out most of the day shopping for food, when he got back in he had a shower and was sat down on the bed drying his long brown hair. Light sat down next to him getting close, he turned himself sideward legs crossed on the bed staring at L. "L… I think we need to talk." That's when L stopped in his tracks, he lay the towel down and turned to face Light smiling slightly thumb to his lip looking confused but cute as always. "for the last few months things have been going on, bad things Misa's death shook me up quite a lot and I haven't had chance to get a reply from my question." Light spoke rather cautiously thinking of what he said and hoping it made perfect sense, he hated speaking to L he always got his words wrong or stuttered in midsentence. "Yagami I understand how u have been feeling over the last few months and may know your question, I understand why u may have not asked me quite so early as you were very upset during the last few months, due to Misa Misa's death and let me tell you that I will answer any question you ask."
Light smiled L had obviously been thinking about this question too and now L had no excuse not to answer it was perfect timing. "Well as you probably remember about 9-10 months ago I asked you a question and as you were about to reply the door someone knocked on the door. L I have wondered for months know as I love you dearly do you love me back?"
L sat for a while thinking of how to answer. After about 5 minutes L finally replied "Well Light-kun the truth is that after many months of spending 24 hours a day with you comforting you through your hard times I have realised my feeling for you. You probably know from my the last time we sat together as I was comforting you I gave you a small kiss on your head, this probably lead you to assume that I felt the same…and you can now know your assumptions are correct I love you Light-kun and was afraid to say in case you didn't feel the same!" L leant over and kissed Light in the same way light kissed him as he declared his love. Light was amazed L loved him and was not afraid to say so and he had stopped calling him on a last name basis he was now calling him by his first name! Light grinned a huge smile and lay next to L head against his chest body curled up to shape round L's. They were in love.
The next day they walked to work hand in hand everyone was surprised as they walked in the building and even more shocked when they saw their hands interlocked. Matsuda was the first to say something "hiya L and Light how are you we all heard about Misa but we never knew about you two Hehehe!" As he finished he winked and started laughing Lights grip tightened he hated Matsuda when he took the mick out of people .L looked at Light told him to calm down after all it was only Matsuda how could he help it? L and light went through a normal week of work as usual only difference was Matsuda kept making up stupid gay jokes knowing it annoyed Light. L and light caught up on all the work the missed. They couldn't wait to get everything back to normal…
