Heey! Sorry I haven't updated in a while .
I'll tell you why, but you must read this chapter first! :D
(I don't own Death Note, btw, or else L would be alive and with Light right now ;D XD)
L, Light and Misa sat anxious in the car as Watari slowly pulled up the restaurant. Misa was anxious to be with Light. Light was anxious to see L's reaction as he was going to witness his evil plan. And L was anxious because he knew Light would probably try to make him jealous. He was 97 percent sure.
As Watari came to a stop then all climbed out of the car and waved goodbye. Misa clung to Light's arm as he resisted to push her away. Then they entered the rather small, yet fancy, restaurant and a 20 year old waitress with pulled back black hair and a smile upon her face greeted them.
"Welcome! Welcome! How many are there?"
"Three," Light said smoothly.
"Though it should be two." Misa muttered. The waitress had a skeptical look but put her smile back on as she got three menus.
She lead them to the back of the restaurant, as Light requested, and gestured to a booth in the corner. It was a booth seat on each side with the table in between so Misa had to sit across from L and Light due to the hand cuffs.
They all scanned through the menu's, except for L. He grabbed the desert menu and looked at all the yummy-looking foods. He licked his lips when he saw a picture of the thick piece of chocolate cake with thick chocolate frosting and strawberry on top with a side of two scoops of ice cream. One chocolate flavored, one strawberry flavored. His mouth watered.
Light on the other hand didn't seem much interested in anything so he just figured he'd get a steak or something. And Misa was eyeing the salad section for she needed to keep her slender figure.
The waitress came over and asked them what they wanted for drinks. Misa wanted water, Light just some coke and L wanted a root beer float. Though she hardly paid attention she just kept starring at Light.
"And what would you like to eat?" She said, her voice a little shaky.
"Can I have the T-Bone steak? Medium. With a side of fries, please." Light said, glancing at her, keeping maximum aloofness. She smiled, "Of course you can." It wasn't usually his choice of food, but at this point, he didn't really care.
"A salad." Misa said, not looking at the waitress, but lovingly at Light. The waitress noticed how Misa looked at him, "Yeah, sure." The waitress said, sounding suddenly bored.
She was about to ask L but he said, "I want this!" Shoving the picture of the cake in her face.
"That's a desert. Don't you want a main meal?" She asked.
"No! I want this!" He said, pointing at it again.
"Okay then…We'll get started right on your orders." She said, smiling as Light handed her the menu's.
As she walked away Misa looked at Light, beaming, "So how was your day today Light?" She asked.
"It was…okay…" He said, glancing at L who was biting his thumb nail, staring at the desert menu. He was slightly irritated that L didn't seem to care. Only slightly.
"Mine was fabulous!" Misa started and continued but Light ignored her. He nodded here and there to make her think he was paying attention, even though he wasn't. He kept glancing at L, wondering why he wasn't getting jealous yet. Light knew he'd have to do something more noticeable, more outrageous, to get L's attention. He wasn't planning on acting obnoxious but if it was for L, he'd do it.
Misa kept babbling but Light interrupted her, "Misa, your hair looks very nice today."
"You really think so?" Misa said, stroking her side bangs, brimming with happiness.
"Yes, yes I do. Light said, glancing at L who was finally noticing his tactics.
Light smirked as he moved a little closer, causing the handcuff chain to drag across the booth, to Misa, as he stared into her eyes, "And your eyes are so beautiful." Light resisted the major urge to duct tape Misa's mouth shut as she squealed extremely loud so the whole country of Japan could hear.
"Oh Light! What a gentleman you are today!" Light's smirk grew into a smug grin as he knew he was getting to L for he claimed he needed to use the restroom.
"Excuse us Misa, I have to use the restroom and well, Light doesn't really have a choice now does he?" L said, holding up the chain.
"Okay fine," Misa said crossing her arms, "But make it quick! I want to spend more time with my Whitey Lighty!" Misa cooed, grabbing Light's arm. He shook it free, a little bit aggressively, but Misa didn't seem to notice.
As L dragged Light away Light finally rolled his eyes. Misa annoyed the crap out of him. And he really hated that of all the girls he had ever known, she had to be the obsessive one. She's such a nuisance, Light thought as he got dragged into the one-person bathroom.
L shut the door and pushed to lock button and turned to Light, "Is this some kind of game to you?"
"What do you mean?" Light asked, pretending to sound confused.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about," L said, annoyed.
"Maybe you should explain." Light said, feeling a smirk form on his face as he saw how jealous L was.
"You're using Misa to get me jealous." He wasn't asking him a question, L was stating a fact.
"No, you told me we couldn't be together so I'm just moving on."
"Don't lie to me, Light. I know you wouldn't date Misa since you couldn't be with me. You'd never be with someone who isn't an equal. And I can tell that she annoys to no end. Face it Light; She's just your toy." Oh…he had me there. Light thought.
"Okay, fine. I'm trying to get you jealous. What's wrong with that? It just means I like you a lot…" Light said. Surprised at his own words. They were all controlled by feeling. Something he never did.
"That's the exact problem! You can't be in love me! We're-"
"But you're in love with me too!" Light cut him off.
"Yes, but at least I can control my emotions!" L shouted. Light opened his mouth to say something else until there was a knock on the door.
"Is everything alright in there?" A man asked.
"Uh, y-yeah we're fine." Light stammered.
"We're…?" They stood motionless for a second till they had footsteps move away.
"We better go." L said reaching the door. Light blocked the door and glared at him, "Okay, fine. but I am not going to be done with this. And just to make you more crazy I'm going to keep flirting with Misa." Light smirked evilly.
"If you really loved someone, wouldn't you try to keep them happy?" L asked.
Light ignored him and opened the door. They rushed back to the booth and sat down casually. Luckily, Misa, being the idiot that she is, didn't think of how long they took or of there shouting in the bathroom. She sat right up close to Light and snuggled against his shoulder. Light rolled his eyes and looked at L.
He stared at him for a long time, which to anyone else, would be very uncomfortable but L didn't seem to care. But Light felt an over-powering urge to lean over and kiss him, but he kept control of himself.
He wished that somehow the Kira case could be over and Misa would find some other man, one that could deal with how annoying she was, and just be with L. But sadly, Light knew that day wouldn't come for a long time. Kira was hard to catch, and plus, if Light and L were to be together people would find out and look down upon them. It wasn't normal for two men to be together in Japan. Especially for someone like Light and L, who were rather high in power. It would be scandalous.
Light finally broke his gaze when the waitress came with their food. She gave Misa her salad, Light his steak(with a big smile on her face) and L his cake. L smiled and picked up a spoon and dug into the side of ice cream he got.
"There you all are." The waitress said.
"Thank you." Light said politely. The waitresses grinned and blushed a little. Misa glared at her, "Thank you." Misa said coldly.
"Yeah, sure.." The waitress muttered.
"You are extremely rude!" Misa exclaimed.
"Excuse me?" The waitress said, ticked.
"Misa don't-" Light tried to warn her.
"You flirt with my boyfriend and are a jerk to me!" The waitress's mouth dropped. Light put a firm hand on Misa's shoulder and laughed nervously. Then put his charm in over drive, "Don't worry about her." He said sweetly, "She's just had a long day."
"But!-"
"Shh, Misa. Don't get us kicked out while we all haven't even eaten-" Light saw L's cake almost completely devoured, "Well, while you and I haven't even eaten." Misa crossed her arms and pouted. Such a child, Light thought. The waitress stormed off.
Light and Misa started eating their food while L was busy asking someone, a someone who wasn't there, for seconds.

"Thanks for the ride, Watari." Light said politely as he got in the car followed by L. He sat beside Misa who was already buckled in.
"Of course," Watari said getting in the car, "How was dinner?"
"Great. I had cake!" L said happily. Watari smiled, said nothing, and drove away from the curb.
L watched the city lights flash by as they picked up speed. Misa snuggled against Light's shoulder. Light was completely repulsed.
By this point, he didn't think it was worth making L jealous anymore. "If you really loved someone, wouldn't you try to keep them happy?" Light couldn't get that out of his head. The older detective had been right, as always. And Light wasn't even sure if L knew the basics of relationships…Well, he sort of did now.
As they rode home, Light tried to plan out his next moves but, for once, he didn't really know what they were. He knew he loved L and every time he looked at him, his desire for him grew deeper and deeper. And little did he know, L felt the same.
But as L's desire was greater. He never had anyone. Literally, no one. Except for Watari. But besides that he had no friends or lovers. And since Light was an equal to him, the attraction was even greater. Though L did know two men shouldn't be together. And that he suspected Light to be Kira, he decided to stay away. But how long could he fight that for? Months? Weeks? Days? Hours?
For once, L didn't know the answer to something.
Neither did Light.
