Word Play

Remarkable: worthy of attention; striking. L bit his thumb and watched Light. His boyfriend certainly was striking. And he was sure Light wouldn't mind; there had to be at least six other things more creepy than watching his boyfriend sleep and tying to think of words to describe it. AU-ish, LightxL, LxLight, drabble-ish.

2. Disagreements

Been thinking of Death Note all day while Wedding Clothes shopping and couldn't resist writing this when I got back.

"Sugar."

"No sugar."

"Sugar."

"No... sugar."

"Sugar."

"No. Sugar. None. Zero. Not allowed. Which of the words are you having trouble with?"

"Light-kun is being unreasonable." L protested.

"Light-kun is saving his boyfriend's life." Light corrected.

"Changes in speech are indicative of a decline in mental faculties."

Light massaged his temple, "If you're asking if you're successfully driving me insane, the answer is yes. If you're hoping you can use that to displace me in an effort to get your sugar fix, the answer is no."

"Light-kun should know better than to underestimate me."

"I'm not underestimating you. You'll thank me for this someday, when we retire and you've still got all your teeth and aren't suffering from diabetes."

"There is an 87.4 percent chance of my driving you to kill one of us before that."

Light stopped rubbing his head to look up in surprise, "Really? That low? I expected it to be at least 97 percent."

Matsuda looked between them where he'd been standing the last five minutes of the argument, "Uh, should I come back later?"

"Yes."

"No."

Light's eyes narrowed, "This isn't over, L." He turned back to Matsuda, "The order stands: he's only allowed artificial sweetener, no sugar."

Matsuda, never one for violence, or even raised voices, attempted to calm the situation, "Um, I know of this really good artificial sweetener that's supposed to be so good you can't even tell the difference. Isn't that amazing?"

Light prevaricated, "It certainly is... remarkable..."

L responded to the unspoken 'no' by burying his elbow in his boyfriend's abdomen. Light responded with his own and they were quickly in an elbow fight that had Matsuda backing away. "Sugar."

"No sugar! Dammit, L, I swear if you keep this up I'm going to chain you to the bed!"

"That is not the deterrent Light-kun seems to think it is."

The brunet dropped his head in his hands, "Goddamned bondage-loving, kinky sugar-addict."

"Then Light-kun surrenders and will allow me sugar?"

"NO SUGAR!"
