Lover Of A Prince
Chapter Four
Disclaimer: -shoots you-
Pairing: LxLight
A/N: I'm terribly sorry for the wait... How long was it? 3 weeks? I failed you once again.
But thanks to Shinku Anrui for giving me the a plot, and everyone else who had suggestions ^__^
Oi, and L will be NOTHING like that excuse for a vampire, Edward Cullen. I HATE that book/movie. Sorry Twilight fans lawl.
L came back, struggling to hold on to a writhing Ryuk, the pup nipping playfully at him. Wow it's a miracle that dog hasn't ripped off any limbs yet, thought Light.
Behind L, a waddling Watari followed, his grey mustache and kind eyes kind of freaking Light out. Penguins didn't have mustaches.
"Well... Here's your... CREATURE." L narrowed his eyes at the dark pup, who started towards Light as soon as he came into view.
"Er thanks. Now, can you tell me how to get back?" Light's tail swished behind him.
"Why yes. Of course." L narrowed his eyes at the teenage boy, "But wouldn't Light-kun like to get more acquainted with me first?"
The glare on Raito's face could only be described as pure annoyance.
L took in the angry gesture and coughed slightly, afraid to anger him anymore.
"Well then, let's get going," Raito murmered.
Watari flapped his wings and cocked his head, L seemed to understand what he was trying to say, "Ah, Watari-san don't worry. We're not angering the witch in any way by not performing her exact instructions for when we meet."
Light gave them a weird look and attempted to get out of the elegant mattress, but instead let out a howl of pain.
L smirked and walked closer to the injured feline. "Hehe, it seems I'm going to have to carry Light-kun there."
"WHAAA? No! That's alright, I can manage." Light sounded a tad nervous.
"Or we could wait until he recovers..." L suggested.
"-sigh-, alright." Raito bit his lip. "You may carry me." He soon regretted this because L was at his side in one swift movement leaning over the edge of the bed. Light looked down, face flushed.
"Do I make Light-kun nervous?" L seemed all too innocent.
"You better shut that fucking trap before I have to do it myself." L once again smirked at this. In the state Raito was in, that could be considered impossible."
"Oh, and how will you do that?"
Watari made a strange noise that could be considered a giggle in penguin-language, and Light continued staying silent, sending a glare in Watari's direction. The elderly bird's mustache seemed to droop as he shrunk back.
This was not going well at all. Soichiro-ouja would be severely pissed. Light shivered at the thought of what his strict father would do to him. Soichiro was known for his strict tendencies and unbearable punishments. Of course he wouldn't be sent into the dungeon along with all those who have committed horrible sins such as Mikami, who went against the King and attempted to murder some of the king's best attendants, who were said to have committed wrong in the past. And also for trying to rape Light while he was in the shower, but luckily Light had shrieked loud enough for Ryuk to come pouncing to the rescue.
Light's thoughts were interrupted as L placed an arm around his waist and the other around his shoulders. "What are you doing?"
"Lifting you up so we can get started going back to the palace."
Light nodded, trying to figure out why his face was steaming. He hoped that it wouldn't show.
As they neared the towering array of pointy-buildings and large structures, Light hesitantly tugged at L's sleeve. L looked down, his expression concerned and placed Light on the curb next to the stone-paved road. Villagers seemed to be crowding around them. They recognized Raito-ouji, he was very well admired by the villagers for his kindness and willingness to help the people whenever they were in debt, needed to nurse a sick loved one, or just needed help around the house. But they did not take the pale man with the feathery hair well. No, they took him as a threat and were worried why he was carrying the Prince all this way.
Light gave a tired look to all the villagers, which most seemed to have horror-struck, relieved, or worried faces. Light shook his head, giving a soft smile, indicating that this man wasn't considered a threat to him or the village.
A young girl, about the age of 9 hesitantly walked over to where her Raito-sama stood. She was a big fan of him, she needed answers to his absence, cat-state, and who that freaky man was. He had invaded her Raito's personal space and she needed to make sure he wasn't more than just some random man helping her idol.
"Ehm, Raito-sama," she managed to squeak in her high-pitched, annoying tone, "What happened?" The rest of the villagers seemed to want an answer to this question to, because now everyone had averted their eyes toward the injured prince.
Raito's ears twitched in annoyance as he gave her an assuring smile and explained everything. Of course leaving out some details he was sure they wouldn't believe.
"Oh my!" A kind-looking elderly woman with her hair styled into a neat bun quickly started towards the direction of her house to get something to clean that wound, but was stopped by Raito, who pleaded that it was alright and she doesn't need to worry.
After a bit of time, most of the villagers seemed to have been assured of Raito's safety and headed home, only a few now lingered amongst the area.
Raito looked up at L, who hadn't spoken a word since their arrival. "Is everything alright?"
L's thoughts seemed to be interrupted as he recovered from his zoned-out state. "Yes, except something that's been bugging me ever since I found you. But you mustn't fret about that." He gave Raito a wry smile, and helped him up. Raito of course, continued to lean against Ryuuzaki.
They headed toward the large palace, soon approaching the unwelcoming atmosphere. Light's tail seemed to stiffen. How would his father take the news? Sure he would be angry at Light's one-day absence, but what would he say about his cat-parts. He clung tighter to the vampire, who was unusually warm and comforting.
L tightened his grip around the auburn-haired teenager, aware of his uneasy state. "It'll be alright." He murmured into the young boy's ear.
Light looked up at him, his innocent expression and helplessness making L breathless.
Approaching the wide doors of the palace, the guards gave them gruff looks, but they opened the doors nevertheless.
A maid ran over to them, her blond pigtails swinging around as she came to a stop. Her dress was at least 5 inches shorter than the other maids. L gave her a challenging glare, but she ignored it, "Light-kun! Are you alright?!! Oh, I've been so worried about you these past 18 hours, what? Why is Light-kun bearing these kitty parts!??"
Light, slightly embarrassed at his state told her not to worry. He asked her where his father was.
"Oh, you mean Soichiro-ouja? That old man's been bitching ever since you went missing. You'll find him in the dining room, pounding his fists against the table and stressing Sachiko."
Light nodded and waved the annoyance away. Ears drooping, he asked L to let him go, which he did, placing him on the worn marble softly, but Light stumbled in pain, and was quickly caught by the oh-so quick vampire. Light decided to lean against him instead, so he slung an arm around L's shoulders, and L around his waist.
They stumbled their way towards the dining room, stopping before the entrance. Many colorful words could be heard from hear, accompanied by Sachiko's sweet voice, trying to comfort her pissed husband.
L turned the knob.
Soon, the scene of a boiling Soichiro, and a happy, relieved Sachiko rushing over to her son, ignoring his neko features could be seen.
Soichiro gave a murdering glare at L, then averted his glare towards his only son, taking in his features. You could only imagine his surprise at his son's current state. "LIGHTO! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?? YOU DISAPPEAR FOR NEARLY A DAY AND COME BACK WITH THESE?!!"
"Father! Please, let me explain!" Light panicked, but Soichiro stormed over to him and sent a blow to his face that could send any pro-wrestler to the ground.
Light spat out a glob of blood and blinked at his father. Sachiko tried to hold him back, but was thrown of and Soichiro kicked poor Light in the ribs. Before he could inflict anymore damage, L picked him up and rushed out of the palace.
Light lay limp in his arms, taking hoarse breaths.
In a very short amount of time they were back at L's home. L quickly stormed in and placed Light on the bed, rushing around the house to find his first aid kit. And when he did, he tended Light in an inhuman amount of speed.
After a while, Light calmed down enough to start speaking again.
"Ryuuzaki. Thank you so much," he coughed a bit, then pulled L next to him, snuggling into the other man, ignoring his rib pains and healing hip gash.
L hesitantly wrapped an arm around the younger boy, making sure not to touch him in any places where it would hurt.
