Chapter 2:
"Well? What are your credentials?" Light picked at his fingernails impassively.
Carillon looked at the brunette nervously and focused her gaze back onto Lawliet. L raised his eyebrows at Light.
"I'm sure that you already know, but I have studied Law for nearly five years and also did a lengthy course in Pr." L smiled as Light clicked his tongue again. Light felt uncomfortable under the black haired man's gaze, as if he could read Light like a book. He really did not like that feeling. He already had to suffer that look of discontent from his father Soichiro for many years, and he was not going to let some stuck up British snob make him crumble.
Carillon coughed loudly as L's attention had become focused on a bowl of toffees that were in arms reach. The blonde woman stood and grabbed the bowl possessively and pulled it closer to her chest. Lawliet's eyes widened in surprise and pulled his spidery hand away from the bowl sheepishly and turned his head away.
'Was she coming onto me I wonder?' L sniggered as he considered the thought. As the raven haired man turned his head towards the two others he was startled to see Light's narrow eyes observing him. A light bulb suddenly collapsed into darkness overhead and Light snickered.
"Wammy, right?" he asked "Hmm? Yes Light?" he asked only just paying attention.
"Fix that light bulb and I'll give you the job" Light picked up an apple that sat on the desk and bit into it, smiling evilly. L pointed above his head .
"This one?" "Fine. Do you happen to have a phone on you? Ms Smithlock?" The blonde woman's eyes lit up as she pushed the office style phone towards the tired looking man, who began to dial promptly after the phone was lent to him. Light had begun to protest when L shushed him
"He just shushed me! Carrie, get rid of him!" Light yelled and slammed his hands on the table to only be shushed again.
"Ah! Matt! It's Lawliet! Could you come to the address I'm about to send you? I need you to fix a light at this place.' L sneaked a look at the frustrated man who looked as if he could fling himself out of his chair and throttle him.
"Make that two Lights."
"Aw Lawliet! C'mon! This is a really bad time!" L rolled his eyes "It will help me get a job?" After a few moments Lawliet heard Matt shuffle out of his bed (Well Lawliet assumed it was his bed until he said "goodbye sweetie" to somebody in a low husky voice.)
"Oi? L you still there? I'll be there in...ten minutes. I'm only right around the corner. Ok? Ta." And then a dial tone. L smiled radiantly as he pushed the phone back
"All done!" L winked at the dumbfounded brunette and pushed his chair away loudly when he saw that the bowl of toffees were suddenly a hell of a lot closer than they were before. "That problem should be fixed in about fifteen minutes. Now, if it won't bother anybody' the pale man said smoothly 'I am going to have a lolly."
Matt arrived a few minutes later than promised but had done the job quickly none the less. Light had begun to bite his finely perfected nails as Matt had given him a curious look.
"Holy shit!" Matt yelled deafeningly. Everybody in the room jumped as he pointed at Light obviously.
"You're the gay dude from the magazine! Shit dude! Lawliet ya didn't tell me that you were working for a fa-" Lawliet grabbed the teen around the neck almost comically, pressing into his windpipe and effectively cutting his voice. As the obsidian eyed man grinned and pulled his arm away, the younger man fell to the floor choking.
"Thank you Matt, but I think that we should say goodbye now." He turned his head sharply and Matt cried out and left the room shouting obscenities.
"So...can I have the job?" L asked hopefully. Carillon looked at the man next to her and nodded. Her eyes sparkled as Light's grimace overran his fantastic features as he stretched his hand and clasped the spidery fingers of the other male.
"Congratulations. You now have to be my manager." As a very perky Carillon almost waltzed out of the large office a menacing glint appeared in the chocolate brown eyes of the very famous, the very talented and very influential pop star. L was taken aback at the intensity of the glare that was dealt towards him. Light pulled L's pale ear towards his mouth and whispered almost inaudibly, "I'm going to make your time with me hell!" Light smiled angelically as Carillion re-entered the room and held the door open.
"Have a nice day Carrie." L nodded.
"You to Mr. Wammy! Please call me if you have problems with Light! Or call me anyway!" She waved the two men away. Light tsked at the woman as Lawliet sniggered to himself. 'So she was hitting on me after all. Hehheheh.'
...
"It's a very nice cafe. I like your taste in restaurants Mr. Yagami." The coffee bar that the two men sat in was very clean and also surrounded by small decorative plants that were placed around all of the back seats. A dangerous glare was shot in L's direction as Light sipped his latte slowly.
"Never call me Mr. Yagami ever again. Just call me Light. Or I dunno...something, no anything, besides Mr. Yagami. As cliché as it sounds, Mr. Yagami is my father, a very uptight, blue collared, ridiculous old fart with no respect for anybody who dares to be different."
"Oh. That's fine I guess. So as your manager, what do you need me to do as a part of my duties?" Light rubbed his temples, as if just talking was a hassle.
"You may even have to be a bit of a bodyguard sometimes. I don't trust many people so it's always good to multitask right? I already had to hire you so theres no need to hire another guy-or chick- either." Light corrected himself quickly.
"Yeah. That's fine."L replied briskly as he stabbed at a slice of lemon cheesecake and ate the crumbly bit at the bottom. He bit into the plump strawberry with a loud, wet crunch.
"You might even have to be on call twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty two point eighteen weeks a year. You don't have any real commitments do you?" "Well. Not anymore I suppose. I just get around a lot." Light perked his ears at this comment.
"So wait, are you a bit of a whore now? I don't need someone like that ruining my reputation."
'Anybody else see the irony of that comment?' L though exasperated as Light's cell phone began to ring. 'Blame it on the girls who know what to do, blame it on the boys who keep pining on you, blame your mother for the things she said, blame it on your father but you know he's dead!' Light flicked his phone open and quickly became involved in a conversation about...sequins? Wow. L's head rolled on his shoulders and observed the rest of the cafe. He hadn't noticed the strange looks that he and Light had been receiving since entering the cafe. Two teenage girls, late teenage girls L thought snidely andbegan forming filthy thoughts, were whispering behind their hands. He could only just catch onto their conversation.
"Oh my gawd! I just cannot believe it! I had been denying it this whole time!"
"What a shame...the black haired one was a real cutie..."
"All the good ones are always gay..."
'Gay? I'm not gay...' Realisation hit L like a ton of bricks. He felt like a total idiot. All of those late night entertainment shows and their ramblings had been talking about an 'In the closet' pop star. How he hadn't noticed the moment he met this man! He always had fantastic instincts! How could he not tell that this man was a homosexual? He was casually chatting away on the phone about SEQUINS for crying out loud! He hadn't noticed that he had begun to blush and felt a sudden queasy feeling as his stomach rolled. As his head spun he had not realised that Light's conversation had ended and he was glaring at him oddly.
"You learn to get used to ridicule after a little bit Lawliet. It comes with the job." Light reached over sadly and patted L on the hand.
The screams of the teenage girls from the other table were enormous, and the rest of the coffee shop had broken into conversation. He pulled his hand away instantly. Light blushed and muttered
"stupid fangirls..." L flushed and coughed loudly. "It may be a good idea to...well leave this place? It doesn't seem to be-err- very friendly" L said hopefully.
"Yeah...I guess so..." A sudden flicker ran across Light's caramel brown eyes and he smiled.
"My place or yours?" L's eyes widened and he gulped.
Bwhahaha! Until next chapter!
Light's ringtone was: 'Blame it on the girls' by Mika
Oh and L's was: 'It's the end of the world' by the suicide machines.
