First thing that needed that needed to be done was to remove Light's wrists from the handcuffs. After that… L took a shower and started washing their clothes. Once he finished cleaning his body, he searched in Light's parent's room for some clothes. He knew he'd brought more than just one pair of jeans.
L opened the nightstand after searching in every possible area in the room. There were jeans! ...Underneath a notebook. L picked up the thick, black book and instantly felt his memory pour back into him. "Well that was an interesting morning…" L put on his clothes and went back into Light's room.
Light was still lying with his arms over his head. L smiled to himself before hearing a chuckle come from behind him. L walked to the closet, tilting his head slightly, and opened the door, "Having an interesting time in there, Ryuk?"
Ryuk gave chuckled, "You're one to talk, L. You seemed to be in a chipper mood… I wonder what caused that," Ryuk muttered sarcastically.
"You should know… you watched us," L teased the shinigami.
Ryuk would have blushed if he could. He gave L a sheepish look, "I don't… I didn't… it wasn't—"
"L…"
L and Ryuk were called away from their joking when Light turned in his bed. L tiptoed over to Light's bed and scanned over his beloved who was now curled up in ball still asleep. L blushed slightly seeing Light's familiar innocence brought back in that one moment.
"…wait… him…love…sorry…"
L cocked one of his eyebrows hearing Light's incoherent pattern of speech. "I wonder what he's dreaming about…"
"…L…" Light muttered faintly, but his double still heard him. Kira glared at Light and started walking away. "Wait! You knew I would choose him! Kira, we both love him."
Kira turned feeling the anger rising to his face, "Don't you dare say I love that vile, disgusting, useless piece of human existence!"
Light looked down, "I'm sorry." Light looked back at Kira who seemed to be processing Light. "Why are you making me choose? What's it matter? You should know that better than I do."
"I have no idea what you're talking about, but it's clear to me that you've gotten slack. This was our dream and now… and now you're just blowing off everything we worked for. Everything YOU worked for."
Light stood up and looked around the empty space they were in. "Kira…"
Kira paused looking at Light. His caramel eyes were glazed over with tears. Kira sighed walking over to Light. "I just…feel…weird." Kira embraced Light, which surprised both of the males. "I want everything like it used to be. Just me, you and Ryuk. Everything was simple like that…"
"Nothing's ever simple. You have to work for everything you do in life."
"Yeah, but don't you ever just want to go back?"
Light looked up at Kira curiously. His face looked concerned, but beneath the red in his eye there was something else… "What's wrong Kira?"
Kira shook his head, "Nothing… I just want to know what you think. Is that such a bad thing?"
"No… I-I guess it wouldn't be too bad to go back. I mean, I miss my family and friends but…"
Kira stepped back slightly, "What if I told you I could take you back to where it all started?"
"Tadaima! " The two boys said in unison as L opened the door.
"O-okaeri…" L muttered staring at the blonde and red head.
They entered the home studying the area critically. "So…" Mello started, "Where's Light?"
"He's still sleeping," L said. "Do you want any tea?"
The two males shook their heads, "We'd hate to impose!"
Then why are you here? L thought to himself. "It's fine. I'm glad you got out of the hospital safely."
Matt smiled fixing his goggles, "Thanks. We wanted to come over and… kind of celebrate, but if Light's still asleep then we can leave."
Mello was disappointed by the thought of them leaving, "But Matt—"
"We'd hate to impose, remember?"
L nodded, "No it's fine. He'll probably be up soon anyway…"
"What are you talking about?" Light asked backing away from Kira.
Kira smiled, "I can make all the confusion go away."
"H-how?"
Kira stepped closer to Light, "By making you mine… You won't have to worry about decisions, hurting others or L ever again."
"M-making me y-yours?" Light gulped at the sound of that. He didn't understand exactly what Kira meant by this, but he didn't expect anything good to come from it.
Kira ran his fingers through Light's auburn locks. "Don't you just want to leave all of this behind? You're tired of this, so why not let me try?"
Light paused. His heart was pounding. He stared at Kira, petrified."Wh-wha-what are you doing?"
Kira's face was inches from Light's face. "I'm taking us back to where we started…"
L arched one of his eye brows. Light had been asleep for a while. He was becoming curious. "I'm going upstairs for a while."
Mello was sitting on the couch and Matt was lying against him playing his PSP. They nodded as L left the room.
L slowly approached Light's room and slowly peaked inside. Light turned violently in his bed. He was still asleep, but he was making faces. He looked… frustrated and scared. He was mumbling and groaning in his sleep. L was concerned, so he sat beside him on his bed.
Ryuk was still there watching Light. "He's having a nightmare," Ryuk muttered curiously.
L smoothed out Light's hair, "Light…" L tilted his head to the side. "Do you know what it's about?"
Ryuk chuckled, "Kira…"
L sighed and pulled Light close to him. "Light," L whispered quietly.
Light groaned for a second. "Mmm… Stop…"
L shook Light slightly, "Light, get up."
"…Wait…"
"Light, wake up…"
"Ah… stop!"
L shook Light again, "Light—"
"No! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Light curled up gripping his head.
L tightened his grip on Light, "Light, wake up!"
Light convulsed slightly as his breathing quickened. He started crying and muttered something unknown. L was curious about what Light was dreaming. Finally, Light woke up after a few short minutes.
"Are you okay?" L asked still holding to him, but still talking in his usual monotone voice.
Light breathed hugging L tightly, "I… I don't know…"
L kissed Light's forehead, "What did Kira do?"
Light buried his face in L's chest and shook his head. "Nothing… I woke up before he did anything."
L paused trying to process Light words, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing… seriously nothing…"
"Light…"
"Please, L. Let's just… I don't know go somewhere or something."
L petted Light head, leaning back so they were just lying there. "I'm completely content being right here."
Light didn't protest, "My head hurts…"
"You had a rough morning. Do you want me to get you some medicine?"
Light shook his head. He thought it was funny how L could remain monotone during all of this. "My stomach hurts too…"
"Do you want me to make you something to eat?"
Light shook his head.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Ryuk asked senselessly.
L shot him a glare. "It doesn't matter what Kira did. I'm not going to let him hurt you. So don't worry."
Light sighed, "It won't matter. Kira's still gonna be here and he's still gonna harass me. I just can't stand it!"
"Light, it's alrig—"
"Yeah you're right. As long as you've got Kira to deal with this is just going to keep going on and on." Ryuk interrupted.
Before L could comment on Ryuk's rude interruption, Light jumped up, "I know! It's your fault anyway!"
"Huh? Me? What did I do?" Ryuk pointed a finger at his self.
"You're the one who dropped the fucking notebook in the first place! If it wasn't for you then I wouldn't be in this situation!" Light settled back down on onto his sheets, "Sometimes I wish I never found that notebook…"
"Light—" L started.
"Sometimes I wish I never was Kira!"
