Chapter 4:
Lawliet's encounter with Soichiro Yagami traumatised him. If there was one person who scared him, it was Soichiro. Not because of his overwhelming presence, or his powerful position in the police, it was simply because, well,
He was Light's father. That was a valid excuse wasn't it?
...
Lawliet had survived his first day of working with the arrogant pop star Light Yagami by the thick of his skin. He had gone home, lay in bed and fallen asleep despite constant ringing from a very concerned Matt, and a very amused Mello. It seems that the pleading text messages to the red-haired teen had done its job.
Matt was at his front doorstep the very next morning at seven. A new record for the teenager, but none the less appreciated. As the two walked around the streets pushing through the early morning rush Matt sniggered at Lawliet's plodding steps.
"Ah so how's the dude going L?" Matt smiled as Lawliet gave him a dirty look from under his mass of black hair.
"He's fine."
"Are you?" another filthy glance in Matt's direction.
"I work for a child. He says he hates me and would make my life hell, which he is doing a fine job of, he pays me to give him cocktails at ridiculous times, and he dresses me up like Ken and Barbie like I'm a toy!"
Matt exploded with laughter at his friend's last comment.
"You let him dress you!"
"I had to or else I wouldn't be able to get another job around here."
"Then come back to England."
"Piss off. I am not going back and you know why." Lawliet replied sullenly, automatically bringing their 'in depth' conversation to an abrupt halt.
Matt lit another cigarette and frowned as his lighter flickered weakly.
"Mofo. Hey L~" Matt asked sweetly
"Yes Matt?"
"Do you have a lighter?"
L looked at the teen surprised.
"You know I don't smoke! And I'm not going to encourage your emphysema! "
Matt sighed and coughed throatily.
"I'm fine. So no lighter?" Matt asked sadly.
"Yep. And no cigarettes either." Lawliet reached into Matt's pocket suddenly startling the boy as he stole his cigarettes and threw them into a nearby puddle.
Matt stared at his lost comrades with a forlorn look as his companion continued walking down the crowded street.
A sad look followed the black haired men followed by yells of "Lawliet you bastard! I thought you were my friend!"
...
"You're late." Light commented dryly as L opened the car door.
"You were supposed to pick me up ten minutes ago."
"Drive yourself next time if you want to complain." L stared at the road as he changed lanes. Light rolled his eyes and began ruffling through his bag while L mentally abused another driver. Light grinned as he pulled out his findings.
"Hey Lawliet wanna glass?"
Lawliet's eyes flickered to the rear-view mirror momentarily to find Light smiling and holding a bottle of red wine.
Lawliet's eye twitched as he laughed to himself.
I knew it. Who drinks at ten in the morning?
Light Yagami of course.
...
Light Yagami was already half off his head by the time Lawliet had pulled up in the driveway of a 'friend' of Light's.
Some friend if Light had to be drunk to see them.
"So who are we visiting today?" Lawliet asked as the car door swung open and the tipsy teen stumbled as he stood.
"An old friend of mine. I already said that ne?"
"Yeah well, your drunk so I wouldn't say that they are too much of a friend."
Light gave him a foul look as he stared at the apartment miserably.
"She shits me."
"An ex?"
"Yeah. But she also kind of works for a company that sponsors me."
L's eyebrow rose as he looked at the gloomy man next to him.
"Well Light, all I have to say is don't bite the hand that feeds you. Or sleep with it for that matter."
Light clicked his teeth together fiercely as if he was a crazy dog. Lawliet sniggered at the reaction he had received.
'The crazy dog look suits him well.'
"Well I suppose we should knock on the door, hit this thing on the head." L offered and the brunettebrightened.
"We can hit her?"
"No."
Light sighed again and knocked on the wooden door wearily as if waiting for an explosion. A sudden thumping of footsteps became louder and Light took a step back as it swung open.
"Light!" The blonde woman yelled and Light flinched.
"I've missed you ssoooooo much!"
L looked in shock as this scantily clad blonde hitched herself around Lights thin waist and pressed her lips against his. Light made a muffled scream as she groped him and grinned.
"So has Light come to pick up the papers?"
"That's all I came for Ms Amane."
The woman pouted at the brunette who looked as if he was on the verge of throwing up.
"I'm Misa remember! Not Ms Amane! We dated for like, ever!"
"Technically you dated me. I had no real say in that did I?" Misa gasped loudly.
"Were you in it for the sex Light!"
Lawliet watched, clearly amused by the act the two put on. Misa, with her clear obsession with Light and Light who was obviously terrified out of hell with this woman.
L grinned and bit on a sweet happily.
Light composed himself as he pulled away from another inappropriate grasp from the female.
"The papers Misa! NOW!" Another mopey look from her as she walked back inside sulking loudly.
Light puffed out a sigh of relief as the woman left earshot. Lawliet laughed cruelly as Light straightened his suit and tie and began to pull his pants back up.
"She seems to be awfully ahem fond of you hmm?"
"If you want to get paid today shut the fuck up."
"Touchy, touchy, Light!"
"Growl~"
"Light! I have the papers! I signed them and even left a present on them!" Misa winked at Light and he gulped. Lawliet was even feeling a bit sick by the time Misa began to lick her lips, mentally undressing Light.
As the shaking hand of the superstar quickly snatched the yellow envelope and stuffed it under his armpit roughly his free hand wrapped around Lawliet's collar and dragged him towards the car screaming
"For the love of god run! Run!"
The ignition started loudly and Light coughed loudly, sneaking a scared sidewards glance out of the window.
The last image that was burnt into both men's minds, but for completely different reasons, was of a very good looking blonde, her head concealed with her silk nightgown and her chest completely exposed.
...
"So you hit that I guess?" L asked as the car stopped at a red light. Light grumbled incoherently and L smiled.
"If I could hit it again I would. With my car."
"Fair enough. She seemed pretty-ah-fond of you I suppose?"
"Fond? Is that what we call obsessive-compulsive disorder these days?"
"Well I was being nice."
"That woman doesn't deserve nice."
"What did she do to you that was so bad?"
Light watched as the green light flashed, the air around him suddenly heavy and moody.
"Nothing really."
"Bull."
"I'll tell you later."
"Tell me now! I finish in an hour!"
Another sad sigh.
"She glued it to my leg."
L paused.
"It?"
"It."
"As in 'it' it?"
"Yes. It."
"...Eww."
...
Sorry for the random ending, but I had to introduce Misa eventually as she may have a role later on. Now for shameless adverts: teB360, xXbeyondxLawlietXx and also I change my name-again
