A/N: Review my story if you don't mind! (^_^)
Last chapter, L takes cold medicine! But he now has to go to work :(
I hope Light makes sure no one knows that L has a cold!
Sorry, L and Light couldn't talk to me backstage today. (T_T)
As the taskforce members came into the office, they saw that L and Light were already their, working as usual. L, still sick, was on cold medicine. Light, who was taking care of sick L, was also making sure the taskforce didn't know that L was sick.
L was sitting in his usual manner in front of his computer researching about Kira and such, when he suddenly burst out laughing. Light looked over at the detective, "Ryuuzaki, what's so funny?"
"I just had an epiphany Light-kun!" L replied smiling."I just realized that 'Yagami' spelled backwards, is 'Im-a-gay!" And with that, L just started laughing again. The rest of the taskforce jerked their heads towards the stoic detective who was now laughing violently.
"What does that have to do with the Kira case?" Light shouted angrily.
"I was just thinking, no need to yell at me," L said pouting.
"Yes there is Ryuuzaki!" Light yelled again, only now he was furious at the innocent acting detective.
"FINE Light-kun! I'm sorry for saying anything at all!" L yelled out of anger. What's wrong with me? First I'm laughing so hard I couldn't breathe, next I'm mad at Light...
L stood up and glared at Light and stomped out, no longer chained to the brunette.
Matsuda looked around at all the gaping mouths with a wide smile and exclaimed,"I FINALLY GET THE IM-A-GAY JOKE!"
Everyone looked back at him, and said in unison, "Shut up Matsuda!"
What's gotten into L? I mean, he was normal this morning, but what happened... OH! I got it! The cold medicine! The side effects kicked in I guess!
Light stood up, but not a violently as L, and walked to the shared bedroom and opened the door slowly. When he looked inside, he saw L, in the bed covered up by the blankets with only his hair peeking out at the top. When Light went inside the room and stepped closer to L, he noticed the detective shaking from underneath the sheets, making small whimpering sounds. Light sighed and sat down on the side of the bed. He pulled down the sheets and put his hand on L's back, and L turned around to face Light. Said brunette just stared at the once composed and eccentric detective who's face was covered in tears and eyes red. L just sat up for a moment before lunging towards Light crying, "I'm sorry Light-kun!"
Light pulled the detective into a gentle embrace and held him there for a few moments. The brunette gently ran his hand through L's obsidian hair and whispered, "Shhh, everything's going to be just fine," Light repeated this several times and after a while the detective, whose face was buried in Light's shirt, calmed down. His sobs turned into silent shakes and soft hiccups.
"Is Light-kun still mad at me?" L finally asked, sniffling.
"No, Ryuuzaki," Light replied.
"But why did Light-kun yell at me?" L said to the brunette who was still holding him.
"I was more angry at the fact that you didn't actually have a new lead on Kira," Light replied.
"Oh," L said. "Well, I apologize Light-kun."
A few seconds of silence went by before Light spoke again, "I bet you've been wondering about you mood changes today,"
"Perhaps," L said in his usual tone of voice.
"Well, it happened to be the side effect of your cold medicine," Light explained.
L looked up at Light, rubbed his eyes tiredly, and said, "I'm cold Light-kun..."
With that, Light reached behind L and grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around the shivering detective. L snuggled up against Light for warmth and Light returned the question by wrapping his arms tightly around L.
About 7 minutes later, Light could sense L laying heavily on him. He looked down to see the detective, asleep, breathing deeply, with his head against Light's chest.
After staring at the sleeping L, Light carefully layed him down on the bed, and covered him with the sheets. It was still early for Light to sleep, so he went back to the investigation room to make up a lie to explain L's behavior.
"Well, son, can you please explain Ryuuzaki's outbursts today?" asked Soichiro Yagami.
"I was actually on my way here to tell you exactly that," Light told his father. "Everyone, L is on medication for something that he wishes to not be known. And the side effects affected his hormones."
"Oh, that makes sense," Yagami-san said.
"Also, he wishes that I take the day off to make sure he won't be in a position where he might get injured."
All of the taskforce members nodded and went back to work. Light left and returned to L, who was still sleeping peacefully.
How was that? I know it ended at a pretty good spot even though I wanted a cliff-hanger... (o)
But anyways, reviews are always good to have so I can see what the world thinks!
