Chapter 8: Where?
Light awoke the next morning in a good mood. He was in a good mood because of last night when L had kissed him back. At first he was shocked, but he didn't allow it to show through. Light wanted L to go against his word again, just like last night.
Light sat up and looked over at his companion. L was sound asleep, curled up into a little ball with his thumb on his lip. A sinister smile came to Light's face. He lend down towards L's sleeping face. Light was an inch away from L when his onyx eyes shot open.
"Light-kun, what are you doing?"
"This." Was all Light said as he closed the gap between them. He slowly swung his leg of L's waist so he was straddling him.
Light cupped the back of L's head to deepen the kiss. He wasn't getting any reaction out of L like he did before. So Light being the kind of person who wants things his way, he started to kiss L down the cheek then to the neck. Light stopped when he reached the nap of L's neck.
Apparently L didn't like that too much so he instead lifted Light's head back up to his own. This time L captured Light's lips with his own. In one swift movement L flipped Light over on his back so L was on top. Once L was the dominant one he pulled away.
"Like I said last night Light-kun… I don't like to be pinned down. Now lets get ready to go. We have to leave here by ten-thirty. It is now," L looked over on the clock on the far wall. "Nine." L quickly got off of Light. He took out they key and unlocked their handcuffs.
Light didn't like what L had just done so he pulled L back down by the wrist. Instead of landing on the bed they fell off of it. L hit his head rather hard, but no damage except a headache. Light landed in his left wrist. A small pop sounded as his body weight fell on it.
"Ah! Damn it!" Light held his hurt wrist to his chest. It was starting to turn a faint purple color and it was swelling pretty fast.
L sat up while rubbing his head. He got into his crouched position. He reached out for Light's wrist. He gently grabbed hold of it. Light flinched at the touch.
"You know Light-kun this is all your fault." L examined the wrist.
"It was yours too. You shouldn't have kissed me back. I though you said that you'd never return my feelings? Ah!" L slowly bend Light's wrist down. "Ow. So why did you?"
"I'm sorry. I'm just seeing how bad your wrist is. Just by looking at it I think it's either seriously sprained or broken." L gently massaged Light's wrist.
"I don't care about that right now. I want an answer to my question." Light stared intensively at L.
A faint pink came to L's cheeks.
"You're starting to fall for me aren't you?" Light asked as he cupped one of L's pink cheeks.
"I… I don't know." L averted his eyes away from Light. "I felt so at peace when you held my hand at the mall. That night when you were sick and you told me that you wouldn't hurt me I believed in you, I trusted you. When you slept on my shoulder that same night my heart raced. Also after I yelled at you for pulling me into the tub my heart ached. Every time I'm with you I feel… I-I don't know how to explain." Now L looked down.
Light gave a slight chuckle. L looked up at him confused. "It seems you're not sure of how you feel either." Light pulled L into a tight embrace. "In due time will find out if they're true or just because we're always together."
L nodded and pulled away.
"Uh." Light now in turn blushed. "L you might have to help me get dressed."
"Light-kun can stay in his night clothes. You need medical attention fast." L stood up and walked around to the intercom. He pushed the button. "Watari?"
"Yes Ryuuzaki?"
"We need to make a short trip to the hospital. Light-kun might of broken his wrist."
"Alright. Meet me down in that parking lot in five."
L went back to Light, who was still on the floor cradling his wrist. L held out his hands to Light. Light took them and pulled himself up. They exited the bedroom. On the way down to the parking lot L held Light's good hand.
In less than three minutes the boys reached the parking lot. Watari was just pulling up in a Rolls Royce as they entered. L opened the door and let Light inside first. Once Light was in L crawled in and shut the door. Watari pulled out of the buildings parking lot as soon as the car door shut.
The drive to the hospital was very short. In that time Light's wrist was a dark shade of purple and with a hint of green. It also grew a little more swollen. Light was in so much pain at this point that it brought tears to his eyes.
Watari helped Light get out of the car and together they rushed into the Emergence room. L stayed out in the car because he really didn't like hospitals all the much. Watari went up to the front desk with Light close behind. A woman in her mid-sixties looked up.
"How may I help you?" She wore a pleasant smile.
"Yes I believe my grandson here might have broken his wrist." Watari held it up as proof.
The woman's eyes widen just a bit." Oh. I'll notify the Doctor. While you wait to be called I'll need you to fill out these forms." The lady handed Watari a small stack of papers.
Light and Watari took a seat in the waiting area. Watari started on the papers, with false information of course. Light wanted to question him about it but kept quiet. After a few short minutes the old man was done. He returned the papers to the woman then came back to Light.
"Your name, for when they call you is Watari, Yukito. Ryuuzaki and I will be back around noon to get you. Ryuuzaki and wont be late," A she smile came to Watari's wrinkled face. "So don't try to run off. Take care."
"Alright. I promise I wont." Light sounded like a little kid who just got in trouble.
Watari made a slight bow then he left the building. Light sat all alone. He was secretly wishing that L was there sitting with him. Wait! Why did he want L to be with him? He wasn't scarred of this place and it was half of L's fault he might have broken his wrist in the first place. If L hadn't kissed back and then tease him by flipping him over, then Light wouldn't be here right now.
' Why does L have such an impact on me? I should hate him for al that he has done to me, but I can't seem to do so. My heart forgives him in every way but my head doesn't.
Everything L said earlier is true for me ten fold. Now that I think about it, the butterfly effect hit me when L and I were fight in the bathrooms. From there it only grew to the point were I can't take it.' Light looked at his wrist.
'His touch was so soft and gental.' He went over the spot L had previously touched. ' I want to have more of that. Everything we do seems and feels right. Is this meant to be? Or just some cruel trick the gods are playing?'
"Watari-kun?" The voice broke light of his thoughts for a moment.
Light stood and followed a slight younger nurse.
'I think I really like him. In some strange way he completes me. He feels the emptiness I felt so long in my heart.' A smile came to Light's face. 'I think I'm in love with him. Yes, I think I really am. I'm in love with the messy, anti-social, insomniac detective. But I can't him this.'
Light sighed as they reached the x-ray room. The nurse put on a vest over Light's torso to protect it from the rays. She gently placed Light's swollen arm under the x-ray box.
"Don't move. I'll be right back." With that she left the room.
'I can't tell him because I don't want him to reject me. I'm not good with rejection. I don't think I could handle it. I'll have to keep it locked up and call off this little test. I'll also have to try and fall out of love with him other wise my heart will break once L leaves Japan.'
Click.
The woman came back into the room. She removed the vest from Light's chest and then led him to another room. Light took a seat on the bed that has the paper on it. The nurse put Light's file in the door then left the room.
Just as the nurse left. Light's right pocket started to vibrate. He pulled it and looked to see who was calling him. All it said was unknown. Light was about to put it back in his pocket, but decided to answer anyway.
"Moshi moshi."
"Light!" Light held the phone away from his ear. "It's Misa! Where are you?"
"Misa, that doesn't matter. I told you not to call me today."
"But Misa wanted to talk with Light. Misa's sorry."
"Good-bye Misa."
"Bye? Light wa-." Light hung up the phone.
She was the most annoying person on the face of the earth. He was wondering why Misa was so attached to him. He showed her more or anything. Yet she still comes running back to him. Light couldn't figure her out.
There was a knock at the door then it opened. A short man in his thirties came in. he had brown short hair and he wore black thick rimmed glasses. He smiled at Light as he put the x-ray on the light box.
"Good afternoon Watari-kun. I'm Shu-ika(1)." Shu-ika looked at the x-ray. "Hm. Well your wrist isn't broken nor is it fractured." The doc took an ice pack out from his jacket pocket. He cracked it to activate the cooling gel. Once it was all crushed he placed it on Light's wrist. "Your wrist is sprained pretty badly. You'll have to wear a wrist guard for a week at the most."
"Alright." Light said without any emotion in his voice.
"I'll be right back with the wrist guard." The Doctor turned around and left the room.
Light's cell started to vibrate again. Light pulled it out of his pocket. It was L. Light quickly answered it.
"Yes Ryuuzaki?"
"How is everything?"
"Good. I didn't break or fracture my wrist, it's just sprained pretty bad. I'll have to wear a wrist guard for a week."
"That's good to hear. Light-kun I'll have to go. See you in an hour."
Before Light could say anything else, L hung up. Light's heart dropped a bit at not talking longer to L, but he pushed it aside. The doctor came back in with the wrist guard in hand. He removed the ice pack from the wrist. The swelling went down a lot. The doctor then gently put on the guard and tightened it to the right size.
"Alright Watari-kun, you're all done."
"Thanks. Hey Shu-ika? Is it all right if I stay in here for a few minutes?"
"Yes you may. Let's see," He looked at his watch. "It's eleven now. You can stay in here for thirty minutes. You can watch T.V. the remote is right behind you.
"Thanks."
The doctor left the room. Light just sat there staring off into nothingness. He wasn't even thinking. His breathing slowed to the point were he looked like a waxed figure.
After thirty minutes a nurse came in and told Light it's time to leave the room. He got up and went to the waiting room for the last thirty minutes. As he was waiting, people gave him strange looks like he was some mental patient. One wrong move and he'll go off.
Finally L came walking into the hospital. Light looked up and his mood changed to that of a slightly happier person. He walked up to L and together the left the hospital.
