Light shifted carefully, sliding his arm under from L and handing the baby to the awaiting nurse who took him quietly. It was past midnight and L was flagging badly, his eyes drooping as he snuggled against Light's warmth. He glanced at the clock; it was time for L to get the well-deserved sleep he needed.
Looking down at the two most important people in his life, Light felt his eyes well up with tears. It had been rough. A really rough rollercoaster ride through hell. Light had seen his true love being twisted apart, screaming in agony and wanting to die. But now…
Masahiro.
Masahiro made it worthwhile.
Light looked down at his sleeping son, who had thrown his arms over his head, looking adorable even in sleep.
He gently touched his face, before nodding at the nurse who slipped out of the room as Light turned his back to face L, who was looking at him quietly from the bed, his eyes large.
Light bent down and took his ivory hands, kissing the fingertips, the devotion clear on his face. L made a soft noise at the back of his throat and leant forehead, catching the corner of Light's mouth gently. They kissed sweetly, the parting of lips met with a whispering sigh of 'love you'.
Light pulled away, looking at his coat which had been slung over the chair near the door, before glancing at L, who had pulled the duvet over his body, still peeking at his beloved. He smiled, before reaching and grabbing the coat.
"I had it all picked out" Light laughed, patting his coat pockets, "It was going to be a complete surprise"
L sat up, confusion clouding his face, all traces of sleep gone.
"Mello knows. He helped me plan it" Light said, extracting something from his pocket before hiding it behind his back. He advanced on the bed, and sat on the edge closest to L.
With his free hand, he stroked L down his face, gently tracing L's lips.
"I hope you say yes" Light murmured, and in the same instant he placed a black ring box on the bed. L stared at it dumbfounded, before gently picking it up. He glanced at Light, whose face look amused but his eyes read terror.
"Open it" Light whispered, gripping hold of the bed sheet, his knuckles going white.
L flicked it open, gasping as he saw the simple ring inside it. It was a thin silver band, with a simple princess cut solitaire placed squarely in the centre. Tiny white diamonds surrounded this centrepiece, and behind it, a thin silver chain was curled up.
L gulped and looked at Light, who to his surprise, had slid off the bed to one knee.
The latter cocked his eyebrow, sweat beading on his forehead as he watched L pull the ring out of the box and examine it in the beam from the beside lamp.
"It's… exquisite" L muttered as he looked back towards Light, his eyes over flowering with tears.
Light laughed and picked up the chain from the box.
"This is a precaution I suppose. If you didn't want to wear it as a ring I suppose. Or wear it at all. I'm not good husband material Lawliet" his voice took on a desperate tone, "but I love you so much. I can't lose you. Ever. I want to make you mine, and if you don't want to marr-" he was cut off by L swooping down with the speed of somebody that didn't just give birth, and covering his face in kisses.
"Please stop talking. You've just got engaged Yagami. Face it. You're stuck with me".
Back at home…
Light closed the door with a click, leaning against it for support.
What a night…
He laughed at his thought. It certainly had been a night. A baby and a fiancé in the space of a few hours.
If that isn't what the thing of miracles are made up of, then Light was in the dark about it. And for the first time, he didn't care.
He yawned hugely, and kicking his shoes off he walked tiredly to the bed, flopping down on his side, but nabbing L's pillow, breathing in the scent of his fiancé.
Fiancé… Finally.
He heard Mello and Near creep in as the morning light rolled into the window. He was pulled down. Into the depths of a happy sleep.
...
...
...
Somebody was shaking his shoulder. Rudely. And calling him. Loudly.
With a forced effort, he opened his eyes. Mello was shaking him manically, his eyes wide.
"Why… is it… S-so hard… to get a full night sleep w-w-with you people" Light yawned, propping himself up on his forearms.
Mello swallowed loudly.
"We got a call from the hospital… It's Ryuzaki…" tears began to drop from Mello's eyes onto the duvet cover.
All will be revealed in the next chapter.
