Destiny with Strawberry Flavor
Note: I do not own Death Note or any of the characters in this story.
Warning: Raito (Light) and L pairing. Please enjoy and review.
Raito had stared at the darkness, he couldn't remember the last time he felt so calm. Even with all the possible out comes he hadn't thought of this one. He was talking to L about the most insignificant things. The spoke about seasons, foods, places and people, the list only seemed to expand. Raito had started it, asking L why he ate so many sweets, so it was his fault the conversation had branched out so far. He felt a small amount of anger at himself for spending time on such worthless things. He pushed this away, not caring how meaningless it seemed. The worst part for the part of him that was wasting time scheming, was that he was enjoying all of the talk.
Some time during their conversation Raito had returned to the couch. They were currently talking about how much sugar needed to be added to cake to make it edible. Watari came in with hot tea, a small lantern on the end of a cart. He made sure they didn't need anything else before retiring for the night.
"If there isn't enough sugar in a cake it isn't as good, it's just bread." L said pouring sugar into his tea.
"But if there is to much sugar it is too sweet and becomes hard to swallow." Raito said lightly sipping on his tea, having no desire to add any sugar.
"Watari's tea is usually bitter if you don't add any sugar." L warned.
Raito grimaced as he took a sip. "I see."
"Actually you can't. Its too dark, that and you can't really see bitterness." L said calmly adding heaping spoonfuls to Raito's tea.
Raito stirred his tea and took a sip, coughing from all the sugar. The tea was now thick liquid sugar. "I think your taste of sweets is a little to much for my tastes. I prefer tea over liquid sugar." Raito said.
"You might become accustom to it." L said.
"Probably not." Raito murmured into his drink.
They became quiet for a while and Raito found himself half-asleep. He hadn't realized he was drifting asleep till he heard a loud crash of thunder and jumped. He looked about in shock then relaxed becoming drowsy again. L had taken the tea from his hands placing it on the table. He could barely see its outline in the darkness.
He wondered if he was becoming sluggish because of all the sugar that he had sipped. Maybe unlike most people sugar made him tired instead of hyper. Then he remembered he had been exhausted originally. He wondered how long he had been out. He felt warm despite the slight cold of the room, he moved feeling a warm blanket around him.
"L?" Raito asked wondering if L had gone to bed leaving him on the couch.
"Yes Raito-kun?" a soft voice said beside him.
"…How long have I been asleep?" he asked yawning.
"I'm not sure…it's been awhile. The electricity hasn't even come on…it can't be good for this hotel."
"Thank you…for the blanket. It has gotten cold hasn't it?"
"Your welcome. I believe since its been raining so much with the same intensity as when it had started that yes its colder."
Raito shivered tightening his grip on the blanket.
"You're slept rather soundly, until it thundered loudly." L said.
"I don't usually sleep very deeply." Raito yawned.
"Your still tired, you probably will be for a couple days, all of which you can stay as long as you like." L offered.
"Thanks." Raito said turning his head in the direction he remembered L being on. He noticed the dark silhouette of L beside him. He could feel the slight warmth when L moved toward Raito and pulled some of the blanket around him. "It is to cold." He murmured leaning against Raito with the blanket around him as well. Raito stared at L wondering why he was letting him in his personal space. He couldn't find a good reason in his foggy mind so he let it slide, besides L was warmer than he was.
"Raito-kun?" L murmured looking up at Raito.
"Yes." Raito replied groggily.
"Do you believe in destiny? That where here for a reason, to do certain things?"
"Yes, do you?"
Raito couldn't tell but he felt that L was smiling. He felt as well as heard L move leaning closer to him, kissing him gently on the lips. Before he could react, L pulled away. "Yes I believe in destiny." L said leaving Raito confused and with the taste of strawberries on his tongue.
