Then, shortly after, L followed Light into a dreamless sleep, and he finally felt calm and at peace.
Light began to stir, and tried opening his eyes; but the bright sunlight and his throbbing headache prevented it. Slowly recalling the events of the previous night, his heart beat faster, causing a dizziness to overtake his usually quick-thinking mind, leaving Light feeling utterly disgusting. He felt like he needed to throw up; but decided on instead having a cup of coffee. He figured this would help his mind get kicked into gear too.
Trying to sit up, he felt L stir beside him, and slowly open his eyes, letting out a groan.
"What the hell happened last night..?" L said drowsily, looking up at Light.
"Well.. wait. You don't remember..?"
Light felt a pang of hurt shoot through him, giving him an icy cold feeling in his chest and stomach.
"No.. did anything happen? I'm sore all over and I have a huge headache" L replied, tilting his head to the side, seeing Light's hurt expression.
"You drank a bit too much and.. er.. never mind.." Light said, sighing.
"What? Light-kun..? What happened..?"
What in the hell happened? Why am I so sore..? I remember the club.. and dinner.. but after that it's pretty hazy.
"Nothing, Ryuzaki. You should probably go and take a shower" Light replied, trying to keep the sadness in his heart separate from his voice.
L nodded and slowly tried to get up off the bed, but failing miserably. As soon as he had pushed himself up off the bed, he fell right back again, a small "oomph" noise coming from both him and the mattress. L groaned and tried again, this time falling forwards straight into Light.
Light held his breath as he felt L fall into his arms, and the memories of last night seeped through his brain and heart, letting disappointment and sadness run through his veins, chilling him to the core. He pushed L away, and back onto the bed, watching L's expression change from a calm face to one of shock. Before he realized what he was doing, Light walked swiftly out of the bedroom and into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. Fighting back the tears, he sat with his back on the wall, the icy cold feeling from the tiles creeping all over his skin, making its way through his body again. Light hated this feeling; he'd always felt content and reasonably happy, but now.. now he was feeling something he never thought he would;
Pain.
He heard a few knocks at the door, but ignored them; for now.. he'd just wait.
Then, without warning, Light saw black.
L watched Light walk into the bathroom, eyes wide and mouth slightly open. The look in Light's eyes was scary; what had happened between them last night..?
He's probably just still angry about what I did, that's all..
L walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it a few times, but stopped as he heard quick muffled sobs coming from inside.
He waited a little while longer and knocked again, but this time, there was only silence. No sobs, no rustling, no moving at all, and he started to get worried. He knew that what he had done last night was unfair, but he didn't think Light would be so sensitive about it.
Seems his favourite place to hide is this bathroom…
Deciding to leave Light, L walked out into the kitchen and peered into the fridge, picking up a basket of strawberries and sitting himself down on the bench, slowly picking up a strawberry. He observed it closely, looking from it's green furry top to it's crimson red skin, eyes finally setting upon the bottom of the strawberry. It was a perfect strawberry; everything was perfectly in place, the top was a bright shade of emerald green, the skin a perfect shade of red.
L wanted nothing more than to eat the strawberry, and taste it's sweet juice; but suddenly he got an idea.
Light woke up, feeling his head spinning and his stomach churning. Had he blacked out?
Yes, that must be it.. but I wonder what time it is..?
He looked down at his watch, and to his surprise, barely any time had passed. It had been about 15 minutes since he had first entered the bathroom, and he figured L would probably still be confused or asleep, sleeping off his hangover. So, upon this thought, Light unlocked the bathroom door and stepped out slowly, scanning the room for L. Satisfied, Light sat down on the bed, and stretched out, ready to fall asleep. Once he had fallen into half consciousness, ready to slip into sleep, he heard footsteps approach him and a weight suddenly fall onto the bed beside him. He turned and looked over to see L sitting in his usual crouched position, holding a strawberry in his hands, watching it and smiling softly.
As much as Light hated to admit it, he thought L looked rather cute like this. A completely innocent look on his face, a small smile, and L's usually harsh face looked extremely relaxed. He barely noticed that he was staring; in fact he wouldn't have noticed if L hadn't spoken.
"Light-kun, I've found a perfect strawberry" L said, innocently.
"I see.. and what's this got to do with anything?" Light snapped back
"Well, nothing, but I just wanted to share it with you, that's all"
L looked disappointed and hurt, as if the strawberry had been a sibling or family member and Light had just insulted them very harshly. Light felt a stab of guilt in his stomach, and took the strawberry from L's grasp.
"It's very pretty, L"
Light turned to look at L and smiled at him sweetly, feeling the anger at L seep away. He knew he couldn't stay angry at L, not after what had happened last night. As much as they'd both been drinking, it certainly had been extremely intimate, and Light wouldn't ever forget it, ever. He smiled even wider and began to laugh, ignoring L's strange glances toward him and laughed even harder, strawberry still in hand.
Fearing the worst for the fruit, L jumped forwards and pounced on Light, wrestling the strawberry from his grip, but squishing it in his own hands by accident, causing sticky juice to fall all over himself and Light.
"Damn it!!" L yelled, looking at the mess he'd made.
"Eh? What- .. oh" Light stopped laughing and looked down at the juice all over himself.
Feeling a blush rise up to his cheeks, Light turned, putting his face into the pillow, feeling his shirt get even damper from the strawberry juice that had spilt all over him.
L watched Light grow embarrassed and tilted his head slightly, watching him as he turned away and shoved his head into the pillow closest to him. He wondered why Light had become so weirded out by simple strawberry mush, but didn't dwell on it. For now, he just wanted to get cleaned up.
He stretched himself upwards and stepped over Light gently, heading into the bathroom. Taking his shirt off, he grabbed a small facewasher from the cupboard under the sink and started washing his hips and abdomen, getting off as much juice as possible.
What L didn't realize was that Light was watching him, entranced by the movements of his hips and hands, recognizing his small frame from the night before. Light stared, and slowly felt heat run through him, noticing with a small blush that his body had once again betrayed him, letting his thoughts get the better of him.
Once L had finished cleaning himself up, he stepped out into the bedroom, still shirtless, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Don't you want to clean up too, Light-kun? You got splattered too" L said, looking back to face Light.
"Er. Maybe later, I didn't get too much on me".
This was quite obviously a lie, since Light had been hit with a fair whack of the airbourne strawberry remains; but he couldn't get up, not in the state he was in. If L noticed, all hell would break loose! So instead, he remained lying on the bed, sticky all over his hips.
Light felt the sheets rustle beneath him and turned his body around to look up, then was suddenly facing L, looking at him directly in the eyes. He had moved onto his back now, and it was a little disconcerting. It was like he was searching for something in him, and he didn't like the feeling; not one bit. He wanted L to move, but apparently L didn't have that in mind, as he simply shifted forwards more, now sitting on Lights legs, slowly cutting off their circulation.
Feeling his legs go numb after a few minutes, Light grabbed L and pulled him up closer, slowly realizing this was a huge mistake; he'd forgotten about his little 'problem'. He only prayed L didn't notice.
But, to his horror, apparently L did notice; as L was looking directly down, with a strange look on his face. Light blushed, and L looked up, taking in the sight before his eyes.
So THIS is why he didn't want to wash off..
L was lost in his thoughts; he had an attraction to Light, that's for sure; no one else matched his intellect. But in such an intimate situation..
In the end L gave up, taking the position for granted. He leant forward and put his mouth to Light's hips, licking off the forgotten 'liquid strawberry' and savoured the taste of it. He heard a small moan from Light and pulled away, licking his lips slowly.
I've got you now.
