Chapter one: Something New
It has been a week since the start of Light new confinement with L. Light has gotten use to waking up in strange positions with the man he hates. L learned to put up with Light's major mood swings, every minute of the day. Now both seem to be at peace with one another. At least for the time being.
Both Light and L sat at their computers trying to get a lead or find any sign of Kira. it's been weeks since there had been hard evidence that Kira was even out there, just people dying of accidents. Ever since Light and Misa were confined the killings just stopped. L thought that was a little odd that that happened, but the rest of the team were glade when the killing started up again after two weeks.
Matsuda had such a kind heart he wanted L to release both Misa and Light because L had all the evidence that they were innocent. Yagami-san want to suffer the same fate as his one and only son. Deep down he would never believe that his son was Kira, even if he confessed. He'd would kill himself if it came to that. Yagami-san was put to that test when Misa and Light were released. if Light was truly Kira then his father was to kill him then himself. In the end he proved he would do it.
Once Yagami-san brought back the "suspects" back to the hotel, L proposed to let Misa Amane go but had to stay at the hotel and not leave by herself. As for Light, he had to be cuffed to L 24/7. Just like Light, Misa had a thing or two to say to L. She asked, "What if we wanted to make out?" L simply replied that he's be watching. Misa called him a pervert. L just pondered about the statement.
Watari pushed a cart full of delicious foods towards L. He set a tray in front of him. On it was a silver teakettle with a teacup on a saucer. To the left of the kettle was a small bowl of sugar cubs. In the center was a piece of vanilla cake with white frosting on a plate. The top of the cake had two lollie pops. Beside the plate were a fork and a spoon.
Watari walked over to Light and set down a tray for him, then left the room. On Light's tray was a Cherry Coca Cola. A bag of potato chips sat above a turkey sandwich. The sandwich just didn't have turkey, no; it also had lettuce and water chestnuts. The last thing on the tray was a root beer dumb dumb pop.
Light was just about to take a bite of his sandwich, when L called out his name. He turned to the side to face l's always emotionless one. "What is it Ryuuzaki?" Light asked closing his eyes. he loathed to be interrupted while he was eating or about to.
L brought his thumb to his bottom lip. "I hate to ask, but…" L paused for a second. A second too long for Light. He tapped his finger on the desk impatiently. "May I try some of that?" He pointed to Light's sandwich. "I've never had the pleasure of having anything like that before. I feel I need to at least try and see if I might like it."
Everyone stopped dead in his or her work to look at L in shock. Never has any one on the team thought that in the slightest that L would ever want to try something normal. The closest thing he did have that was semi-normal was 'Sour Cream' potato chips. To everyone on the task force this was a major event.
Light nearly fell out of his chair. Did he hear L right? He had to make sure what L said was what he thought he heard. "Wha- what did you say?" Light stared at his rival wide eyed.
"May I try your sandwich?" A small smile appeared on his face as he spoke.
Light just froze. He was too stunned, like a deer in headlights. He thought that this must be some kind of dream, so he pinched his leg to make sure it was. When he felt pain he knew that this was real. Light said the first thing that came to his mind. "Are you feeling okay, Ryuuzaki?"
"Yes, I feel quiet alright." l's smile grew more. "If your shock is over, may I please try?"
Light picked up his sandwich and shockingly handed it over to L. L took the sandwich between his thumb and index finger, as he always does. He brought it to his mouth then took a bit of it. He slowly chewed it. Everyone stood in awe at the sight before him or her.
L's pleasant smile into frown. It wasn't as good as he hoped it would be. L handed the sandwich back to Light, with a disgusting look upon his face. A loud thud turned L's disgusting face to a blank one. Matsuda was on the floor, face first.
"Matsuda-san, get off the floor!" L demanded.
Matsuda shot up to his feet. "Yes sir, sorry." he bowed at the waist.
After Matsuda's little insentient everyone went back to work. L went back to his cake. He scooped up some cake onto his fork then he popped it in his mouth to get rid of the taste of the sandwich. L savored the cake's sweet, heavenly taste. Once he swallowed the piece his face lit up like a Christmas tree.
"So… Ryuuzaki. You don't like it?" Light asked the obvious and already knowing the answer. Light propped his head on the back of his hand.
"I've enjoyed it" Light's jaw dropped at L's statement. If he enjoyed it then, why did he make that face? Was L playing with him or just not trying to be rude? "But it's not quiet what I expected it to be. I thought it would have much more- how should I put this." L stuck his index finger in his mouth. "Sweet. Not sweet as in sugary but-."
"I get it!" Light cut L off.
"I don't epreciate being cut off," L put four sugar cubs into his tea and then took one of his lollie pops to stir the brown liquid. "I advise you to not do it again."
Light held up his hands. "Alright, alright don't get your panties in a bunch."
L flashed light a death look then went back to his cake. Light finally started on his sandwich. Once both boys were finished eating they went back to work. L was studying the pervious deaths and Light was searching for any deaths of hearts attacks, of criminals.
Six hours later, everyone went home expect Light, L, and Watari. The boys went into the kitchen for a late dinner. Light cooked some Ramen while L got a chocolate cheesecake with a strawberry on top. After Light's were done they sat down at the table. Light took in his chicken flavored Ramen. L just watched Light with a slight amusement.
Light was just about to take a bite of his food when he noticed L's intensive glare. 'Why is he staring at me?' Light thought. he looked at L with a cold stare. "Is there any reason you're staring at me like that?"
"Just observing." L scooped up some cheesecake. He popped it in his mouth. Face aglow.
"Observing what, exactly?" Light leaned forward.
"Light-kun." L perked. "I want to see how Light-kun can eat that. Watching you is like witnessing rare animals give birth. I've never seen anyone eat before. To me it's just amazing." L gave Light a small smile.
"Well stop it. It's creeping me out."
L looked down. "Sorry, Light-kun. I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I won't do it anymore." L looked back up. "You want to try some cheesecake. It's really good. Light-kun might like it."
L held up the fork full of cake to Light. Light sighed and took it. He didn't like to see the Detective sad. It didn't suite him. Light opened his mouth and put the fork inside. he chewed the piece slowly as if there was something was inside it. Then swallowed. Light handed the fork back to L, with a smile on his face.
"Light-kun likes it!" A big smile came to L's face. "There was a seven percent chance that you won't like it."
"Yes, Ryuuzaki, I liked it. It wasn't very sweet as I thought it would be. I'm surprised you're eating it."
"Well it's the only thing I eat that's sugar free." L popped another piece into his mouth. "I came across this in Europe. Ever since I've tired it, I had Watari order it for me. Do you want some more?"
Light shook his head. "Not now. I would like to finish my Ramen first." Light put a spoonful of noodles in his mouth. "'Aybe ofther," light swallowed. "I'm done."
They eat in silence. L enjoying every bite of his cake. It was so cute to anyone who watched how L's face lit up with each bite. It was like watching a baby laugh, you just have to laugh too or smile at them. This made Light want to smile, so he did. It was strange that two mortal enemies were having a good time. It's like what Abraham Lincoln had said, "Am I not destroying my enemy when I make friends of them?" That's what Kira was doing to L. Destroying his enemy by pretending that Light was his friend.
Both finished their dinners. Light put his bowl in the sink, while L put another piece of cheesecake on his plate for Light. He handed it over to him. Light took it with a smile. Slowly he ate the cake. He enjoyed it as much as L had. Once he was done he put the plate in the sink then turned to L.
"Okay Ryuuzaki. I'm not going to take another night of you waking me up at a late hour just to get a snack. so you're going to bring up something, so when you get hungry you're not waking me." Light said putting a hand on his hip.
"Alright Light-kun." L walked over to the cabinets, gently pulling Light along. He opened a cabinet, then thought for a moment. Everything looked so good. "Will light-kun pick something out for me? I'd appreciate it. I'd pick we'd be here all night."
Light sighed. He walked over next to L. He looked inside the cabinet full of sweets. Any sweet you can think of was in there. After a few seconds of looking Light reached in and pulled out a box of Nutty Butty Bars. (I love them .) "Here" Light handed the box to L. "Now let's go. I need to take a shower." Light stretched his arms over his head. As he did an inch of flesh showed.
"Alright. Thanks, Light." L bowed, making his hunched form ever more hunched.
Light froze when L said his name without the 'Kun' Light was so use to hearing it. He turned to look at L only to find him with his head bowed, so you could see his eyes. Light quickly pushed the shock aside and dragged L out of the Kitchen.
They headed up the vast stairs. They climbed all the way up to the tenth floor. There they entered their bedroom. Light went up to the closet. He pulled out a pair of black night attire for him and L's usual. L tossed his snack onto the bed before Light dragged him to the bathroom without a word.
L closed the door behind him. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a key and undid his end of the chain. He then locked it to one of the showerheads, just so Light won't try and run away. Before that L let Light strip to his boxers. L then stripped to his after hooking Light to the shower.
Light turned on the water. He waited till it was nice and warm, and then pulled the lever so the water came pouring down. Both boys got inside and closed the curtain to the shower. Both of them relaxed tremendously due to the warm water. Shower time was the only time both could stand each other presents.
Ten minutes later they were finished. They dried off and got dressed. Light got dressed inside the shower while L changed outside of it. Once that was done L recuffed Light to himself. They brushed their teeth. Once that task was done they went to bed. While Light did, L just sat there reading a book called 'Secret Window' ( great movie. Johnny Depp is so hot in that movie.) Around four in the morning L finally fell asleep.
The radio's alarm went off at six thirty. The gently music aroused the boys from their slumber. Light and L sat up, this time not in odd positions. Light was glade. L uncuffed them so they could get dressed. Light put on a pair of semi-tight brown dress pants and a white button up dress shirt. L put on his usual on but there was a slight difference. L's pants weren't just faded blue; they had a silver chain on the right side of them.
Light took notice of the pants and giggled at the sight. It wasn't that he had a chain on them, but due to L's skinniness and the weight of the chain had pulled his pants down a good inch or so. You could see his' dark blue boxers. Light mentally took a picture of the sight. He didn't want to forget this image. It's not everyday you see L look more… what's the word? Weird.
L looked up at Light, looking somewhat hurt by his laughing. "What is so funny?'
"You. I've never seen you look more bizarre then you normally do. What's with the change?"
"There's no change. Just that all my other jeans are being cleaned." L looked Light over. "What about you? You're dressed like you're going out."
"That's because we are." L's eyes widen and his mouth agape. "We're going out to eat. No Misa isn't coming. Also I thought we should give Watari a break. What do you say?"
L still in shock didn't say anything right away. It took him less than minutes to put his mask back on. "I don't think that's such a good idea, Light-kun. I-I don't do… I don't like going outside. The second Kira is still out there. If he sees my face-."
"We'll get you a mask before we go. I know of a mask shop a few blocks from here." Light got an inch from L's face. "So don't worry."
L sighed and gently pushed Light away from him. Light was too close for L's comfort. He replaced the cuffs on their wrists. After that he looked up at Light, with his abnormally wide eyes. "Before Watari's break I'll ask him to go get the item I require. Let's go eat."
They exited out of their bedroom. They headed towards the elevator and went inside. They went down to the second floor, code required. The doors dings then opened.
They walked out into the investigation room. They went up the bi-level stairs and into the Kitchen. This was L's design. L suddenly just stopped walked. Light walked right into L's back. Light looked around at L's face. He had his thumb inside his mouth and his onyx eyes hidden by bangs. Light's brown frowned at his companion's actions.
"L, are you okay? Light placed his hand on the older man's shoulder. At Light's touch L flinched. 'Why does he do that? It's like he is afraid of human contact. If he touches someone he is fine but if someone touches him he tenses up for flinches. I… no. If I was to stat asking questions, he might think it's Kira related. I'll just have to wait and see.' "L? Earth to L, anyone home?
L ever so slowly turned to face Light. His face held no emotion. This frightened Light to no end. the face made Light want to back away from L and he did. L's emotionless face melted away and molded into a very cheerful one. That made Light back up even more. L's ray of emotion to took Light back; he didn't know what to do expect back away.
Then the unexpected happened. L started to laugh. It was so pure, heart filled laugh that made light relaxed. Light cocked his an eyebrow at L, who couldn't see because his eyes were closed.
"L?" Now Light cocked his head to the left. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
L's laughter died just as quick as it came. His depressed looking face came back onto his face. "Don't call me L. It's Ryuuzaki until this case is over. Come, I'm in need of some cake."
L stated to walk off towards the kitchen, but Light grabbed hold of his shoulder, to halt his movements. "Care to share as to why you just suddenly stopped and started laughing?"
L gripped hold of Light's wrist and led him into the kitchen. L grabbed himself a two layer chocolate cake. Light poured himself a bowl of captain crunch. They eat in silence. Through out the whole time they were eating, l kept smiling up at Light. Light just kept on giving him a confuse looks that made L smile more.
