-Everything to Save-
Chapter 2-
There was a sharp rap at the bedroom door. L and Light turned towards it in anticipation.
"Yes?" called L through the door.
A familiar voice answered him. "It's Matsuda. Are you two ready for me?"
Light sighed in relief. "Finally, I'm ready to change out of these clothes and take a shower!" he exclaimed. Then the teen looked over at Ryuuzaki's hunched and rumpled form, thinking how awkward it would be showering with the detective after their earlier intimacy. "Uh, Ryuzaki, are you planning to take a shower too?"
L brought his thumbnail to his lips for a moment and then lightly bit down on it. He looked over at Light slyly. "Is that an invitation, Light-kun? You sound like you want me to." he replied.
Light felt his face redden in anger. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting off now? I only asked you because you're starting to smell!" the teen replied hotly to the detective.
"The chance that you would've sucked on my finger if I smelled is less than 1 percent, Light-kun," L responded with a slight smile that he knew would infuriate the teen. "Anyway, we have kept Matsuda waiting long enough.' he said, as he headed to the bedroom door.
L unlocked the door and let the youngest task force officer in. "Good evening, Matsuda-san, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." the detective replied in greeting.
"Thank you, Ryuuzaki-san. Uh I didn't interrupt anything, did I?" the man asked nervously, looking around the bedroom, which was plainly decorated with a double bed and a chair. The chair was next to the bed since L was an insomniac and slept in the chair, so that Light had the bed to himself so he wouldn't be disturbed.
In response to Matsuda's question, Light spoke up before L could answer. "Of course not, Matsuda-san. Ryuzaki was just boring me with one of his usual tangents, that's all." The teen said as he smiled most charmingly at the young officer, who blushed slightly. "Thank you for bringing the key."
"You're welcome, Light-kun," Matsuda responded, as he looked at the expensive pajamas and cashmere slippers that Light had lain out on the bed. "IThose are very mpressive garments." the young officer replied admiriingly.
Light looked at Matsuda with his honey colored eyes full of warmth as he and the task force member smiled at each other and discussed the teen's great taste in clothes.
-----------------
L watched the exchange between Light and Matsuda with great interest. The detective knew of Matsuda's feelings for the teen, but he knew that Light considered Matsuda beneath him and did not and could not return the affections of the young officer.
It was slightly disturbing to see Light act charming and warm to the officer. L knew it was all an act unfortunately. That is what Light did best though. He did it to Misa, he did it to his father and…and..
He did it to L. The great detective thought about the way Light made him feel. He made him feel unlike anyone else had before. The teen had captivated him with not only his perfect looks but also his devious and brilliant mind. This had never happened before, L's logical mind had never thought of anything except solving cases, and well…cake.
Now L was in a quandary. He thought about the earlier intimacies that he and Light shared. He had forced himself on the teen. What had he been thinking to do such a reckless thing? He wondered what Light really thought of him.
L sighed. He knew the answer and by his deduction, there was a 98 percent chance that Light wanted him dead. The detective knew that he had to do everything in his power to lower that percentage.
