Light rolled over on the mattress, "good morning L…L?" Light opened his eyes to find he was alone on the large bed.
The teen shot up from the bed, only to collapse back as a sharp pain shot up his lower back, "Ah!" He cried as he gripped his back, waiting for the pain to subside.
"Oh good, you're awake." L said as he walked through the bedroom doorway holding a tray containing, eggs, bacon, toast, jam, strawberries, orange juice and perhaps most importantly, pain killers.
"Breakfast in bed? You really didn't have to do that."
"Well, I thought you might be hungry… so I made what I was 80% sure you'd like…I was also 98% sure you'd be feeling the effects of yesterday…" The detective rambled, bringing the tray to the bed. Light took the medication first, "besides, I don't think we were going to be going anywhere today, so why not have just a lazy day." L stated off-handedly, grabbing a strawberry and assuming his usual crouch on the bed.
"Well…as much as I would love that, I was kinda hoping I could introduce you to my family today…we could go over for dinner." The teen said sheepishly as he spread some jam on his toast, Light's statement caused L to inhale sharply; he began coughing wildly trying to get the sweet fruit out of his lungs, "L? Are you ok?" the teen asked, patting L on the back.
"Do –cough- you really –cough- think that's a wise idea?" He choked out, finally getting the last of the fruit from his airway.
"Of course," Light began with a smile, wrapping his arms around the detective, "You're my boyfriend, my partner and I love you, I want you to get to know my family." He finished, snuggling his face in the panda-like man's jet black hair.
L gave a sigh of defeat, 'I suppose, if it's for Light…', "Fine." He said, turning around to give his love a quick kiss on the lips before saying, "now go eat your breakfast, I worked really hard on it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~In The Kitchen~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sweet merciful lord!" came the shocked cry of the detective's care taker as he looked around the kitchen, "-sigh- I must remind myself to call roger and make sure home economics is put into the whammy's curriculum…" he spoke as he grabbed every cleaning supply in his arsenal.
The teen looked at the meal before him, everything looked delicious, Light started by eating the scrambled eggs, he took one big bite and his eyes went wide, they were half cooked! 'L did say he worked really hard on this…' luckily, Light was skilled at acting, he faked his way through the meal, enduring the half cooked eggs and over cooked bacon…at least the toast and juice were good…
"So, how was it?" L asked, looking up from whatever case he was working on when he noticed the younger male had finished.
"Great." Light said with a smile, his stomach felt like it was tying itself in knots and being torn apart from the inside…but at least L was happy.
"I'm glad you liked it…honestly I've never cooked before so I wasn't sure how it'd turn out…" L said biting his thumb.
Later that day, after solving a few cases with L, Light went off to call his parents.
"Hello?" answered the sweet voice on the other line.
"Hi mom," Light began; glad it was his mother and not Sayu, who would try talking his ear off.
"Oh Light honey! How are you, your father tells me that you got an apartment on the other side of town, you must let us come visit some time. And what about that Amane girl, how are things going with her?"
'You know what; Sayu doesn't sound too bad right now…' Light though as he was asked a million and two questions by his mother, "Uuuh…well, my apartment isn't quite ready yet…but when it's finished I'll be sure to give you and dad the grand tour…" The teen lied, 'great now I have to go through the trouble of fining an apartment, thanks a lot dad.' "And I'm not with Misa anymore; we broke up, but listen, mom-"
"What! But that girl seemed so in love with you…then again they all do, it's ok honey, you were too good for her anyway, do you want to come over for dinner tonight, you probably want a nice home cooked meal," the teen's mother ranted in a sympathetic voice.
"Well actually mom, that's what I called for, I wanted to introduce you guys to someone at dinner tonight."
"Oh of course! I can't wait to meet them," Light could practically see the excitement on his mother's face.
"Alright, I'm guessing dinner is at the same time as usual?"
"Yes, I can't wait to see you and to meet your friend."
"I have to go though mom, I'll see you at dinner, love you."
"Alright, love you too sweetheart."
Light let out an enormous sigh, 'maybe this wasn't my best idea…'
"Light are you down here?" a familiar monotone voice called from a nearby room.
"Ya, I'm in here." The teen replied moment's later L entered the room, holding a piece of his favorite cake, "I just got off the phone with my mom, we should probably leave in an hour or two, considering traffic…" Light lost his train of thought as he watched the detective eat his strawberry cheesecake, the teen had the feeling L was trying to seduce him out of making them have dinner, licking the cream off the top, painfully slowly, then giving a little moan of satisfaction when he slowly chewed the dessert, "L…y-you uuuh, you have some cream…" Light didn't trust his words, so he walked across the room, pressing his body close to the detective, slowly trailed his tongue across the little glob of cream on the detective's cheek, "now you're just playing dirty." Light whispered close to the detective's ear.
"And what exactly do you intend to do about it?" The older male retorted.
"I'm going to go upstairs and I'm going to get you some clothes that actually fit you. We're going to my parent's for dinner, end of discussion." Light said boredly.
"Light you know all of my clothes are the same, which means all of them will fit me exactly the same." L sighed, he couldn't believe his plan didn't work, he'd calculated there was only a 4.3% probability of failure.
"I know, but I never said they would be your clothes, mine should fit you just fine." The teen explained as he took L by the wrist and brought him upstairs to Light's old bedroom, he hadn't had time to move his stuff into L's room just yet.
"These would probably look good on you…" Light began unsurely as he brought out a white dress shirt with a red tie and moss green pants. L looked at the garments skeptically, "Are you serious Light?"
"Very. Now stop wasting time and get changed." Light scolded as a parent would, trying to get a child dressed up. L decided this was a battle he could not win, so he went into the bathroom, only to emerge minutes later, "Light." L whined, "These clothes are painfully uncomfortable…"
Light couldn't help but giggle when he saw the detective, most of the shirt was untucked, the collar was lumpy, and L had tried just tying a knot in the tie, "L when was the last time you ever wore anything but those jeans and that shirt?"
"Hmmmm…I wore a suit once when I was 8…" L said, "But it was a clip on tie and Watari had fixed where I messed up…"
"Here, let me help," the younger male said as he started by trying to untie the red strip of fabric, "How tight did you knot this?" the teen asked as his fingers began to hurt from working the knot. "And I really liked this tie…" Light sighed as he gave up and cut the fabric with a pair of scissors, "I think I have another one in here somewhere…" he said as he walked into the closet, trying to find another red tie.
"Light, it doesn't really mater, now come out of the closet." L whined.
"Well I was planning on doing that later when I announce to my family I'm gay and with you..." The teen joked, "Ah! Here it is." Light emerged from the closet holding yet another red tie, after he finally finished fixing L's outfit the teen realized they were late and he still had to change, "Well this is just great, ok, it's alright Light, calm down, everything is going to be fine, I'm…just getting the disaster for the night out of the way early…ya, that's it." The teen mumbled as he went through his clothes finally emerging from the bathroom in a striped pastel green dress shirt and tan pants, "let's go," Light said as he rushed the detective out of the building and into the car.
After what seemed like an eternity of complaining from L, the likes of which J.D. Salinger could compete, they finally arrived at the Yagami residence, "L I'm begging you, try to make a good impression with my family," Light plead as the pair left the car.
L decided it was best for everyone if he cooperated so he straightened his back, earning a series of loud pops, and ceased biting his thumb.
"You know, you don't have to go that far…Ryuga," Light began, choosing to call L by his alias, "I want you to be yourself, just forget I said anything," he finished, kissing the detective very hotly on the lips, "Thanks for coming with." Light said as he entwined his fingers with L's and led him to the door, the teen let go of L's hand and kissed him one more time before knocking on the door, they were quickly greeted by a hyper Sayu, "LIGHT!" she screamed as she tossed her arms around her older brother, she noticed L looking up blankly at the stars before whispering, "onii-chan, who's that?"
"Sayu, this is my friend from school, Ryuga, Ryuga, this is my little sister Sayu." Light introduced.
"Pleased to meet you." L said as he extended his hand to the girl, Sayu giggled and hugged L tightly, "Any friend of onii-chan is a friend of mine."
L's panda like eyes went wider than usual as he looked to Light for help; the teen simply shrugged L was dragged inside by Sayu, "Oka-chan! Oto-chan! This is Light's friend Ryuga." Sayu said as she dragged L by the wrist to her parents in the dining room.
"Ryuga?" Soichiro asked surprised, "that's our guest tonight?"
Sachiko merely shrugged, "Light just said that he wanted to introduce us to someone, and it was very important."
'Maybe L offered Light a job helping solve cases…' Soichiro thought hopefully.
"Hi mom and dad," Light spoke as his mom got up and embraced her son.
"So you're Ryuga," Sachiko said looking over at the detective.
"Yes," L wasn't accustomed to this type of situation so he didn't exactly know what to do, but he had learned that nothing, or close to it, is often a smart thing to say, "very pleased to meet you Yagami-san." The detective finished, extending his hand to the older woman, who laughed whole heartedly and said, "please, call me Sachiko," as she hugged L, 'well I see where Sayu gets it from…how many times is this going to happen when I offer a simple handshake?' he thought desperately.
"Nice to see you again Soichiro." L said as he was released from the teen's mother's embrace, he didn't even dare extend his hand for a handshake through fear of human contact once again.
"Hello Ryuga, how have you been?"
"Wait, how do you know Ryuu?" Sayu butted in.
"Ryuu?" L asked confused.
"Sayu likes giving pet names to everyone…" Light explained exasperated, "So let's eat, I'm starving."
"Ah good plan, let me go get the food," Sachiko said as she disappeared into the kitchen, coming back moments later with plates of sushi and bowls of rice for her guests, Light was a bit worried about how well L could stomach the food.
"So, liked I asked before, Oto-chan, how do you know Ryuu-chan?" Sayu asked trying to start a conversation.
"Oh, I met him after Light-kun and I finished giving the representative speech." L easily lied to the young girl.
"That's right, you were the other young man who got a perfect score on your entrance exam," Sachiko said.
After another half hour of small talk, mostly having to do with school, Light decided it was time for his announcement, "Everyone, I have something to say," Light began and immediately was given the undivided attention of his family and L, "There is a reason I brought Ryuga here, I thought it would be very important to tell you all…Ryuga…Ryuga and I are…together." Light finished, taking L's hand.
"AWWWWWWWW!" Sayu squealed.
Sachiko gently smiled, "Well, I hope you two are happy together, to be honest, I prefer you to that brainless girl Misa" she chuckled.
Soichiro stayed silent for a few moments before getting up, he then walked across the table to Light, grabbed him by the collar, and proceeded to drag him out of the house, L tried getting Soichiro to release his lover, but his grip was too tight and L didn't want to hurt the man and cause an even bigger scene. When they reached the door, Soichiro literally threw Light out, the teen fell face first to the ground, scraping his cheek and hands as he bounced off the pavement like a rag doll "GET THE HELL OUT AND DON'T COME BACK! I HAVE NO SON!" he screamed, tears began to stream down the teen's face, at the sight of the blood and tears, something in L snapped, "DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT!" the usually monotonous man screamed as he kicked Soichiro in the face, his balance a bit thrown off by the different wardrobe, but he landed his target nonetheless, then he ran down to console Light, "come on Light, let's go," he gathered his love and led him to the car.
"OW! Ah!" Light yelled.
"I'm sorry, I have to clean it or else it'll get worse." L spoke as he continued to nurse Light's wounds.
A/N: mwahahahaha I decided to split this chapter into two parts, I'll probably have the next chapter up soon, and it will be filled with more Watari, and homophobic Soichiro, so stay tuned folks! ;D I might even finish it tonight, my friend is like murdering me to get the next part finished XD
