Everyone was staring.

Matsuda and Soichiro staring at Light and Ryuzaki.

Light staring at Soichiro and Matsuda.

And Ryuzaki staring at Light.

The air hung thick in worry, confusion, and bewilderment.

'So, what just happened?' thought Matsuda. However clueless he may seem, and in fact was, he did notice something out of the ordinary. Like the how close the detective and Light were. How they moved away from each other when the door opened.

The fact that Light's face was turning pink.

"Are you okay, Light?" Soichiro asked. Matsuda looked at his superior in confusion. 'Did he not see the same thing I did?' He looked back to the two they'd barged in on. Light had regained his composure.

"Yeah, I'm fine Dad. Just must have drank too fast is all," he replied as he stood up from his work chair, turning to look at them. "It's nothing to worry about." They continued to stand there, still staring at the pair.

Light shifted his gaze from his father to Ryuzaki, who was already staring at him. Their eyes locked as a strange silence spread throughout the room. Matsuda looked at the two young men. It seemed he was the only on who noticed the strange tension between them. Mr. Yagami didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary, and continued to question about Light's well-being.

As he continued to answer the rapid-fire questions, he kept his eyes on L. Matsuda didn't fail to notice this as well. He kept his eyes fixed on Light and Ryuzaki the entire time. While he couldn't figure out what L was thinking, he believe that Light was getting angry. Or embarrassed.

Wait, why would he be embarrassed? Maybe, I'm just imagining that. But, then again, his face is all red, and he looks sort of angry at L. With how close they were when we walked in, and with them pulling away so fast, it almost looked like they were... kissing.

Matsuda chided himself for his own strange thoughts. Why would they be up here kissing? There were cameras in here! They didn't like each other like that, anyway. And L suspected Light to be Kira! So, none of that made any sense.

But no matter, he still couldn't shake the feeling that they had been doing exactly that.

They're acting so weird! And Ryuzaki isn't even saying anything. I swear Light looks embarrassed; like he got caught doing something bad. I wonder if Mr. Yagami knows his son might be gay, and has a thing for L? No, no! There's just no way that's whats going on here!

The dimwitted detective was pulled out of his thoughts by his superior turning to leave. He scrambled to join him, looking back as he exited and closed the door behind him. He didn't miss Light's unchained hand move up to touch his lips, a look of confused bewilderment in his eyes. It quickly flashed to anger as he jerked his hand back down and took his seat.

Oh yeah, they definitely kissed.

Watching Soichiro walk ahead of him, he couldn't help but smile to himself. He figured out something that no one else had.

"Look who's stupid now," he thought with pride.


A/N: Sorry if this sucks. It wasn't supposed to be a chapter. The beginning was a fluke for the opening of the next chapter (which I'm almost finished with). Just think of it as, a 'deleted scene.'
