A/N: Gomen gomen gomen gomen gomen for not updating, usually I would have had multiple chapters done by now, but I made the mistake of reading my entire fic through and my laptop which had chapter 4 typed up on it broke and I couldn't remember what I had written so I decided to rewrite something different, also, my muse had died for a bit, bit coming back I now have a ton of new ideas (woo! Zombiefied muse!) so hopefully I can get another few chapters done by the end of the month (ya, hit a rough patch with my original beta, but now I have a beta who is gonna kick my ass if I don't update XD) so without further ado I give you chapter 4

Chapter 4
Light sat sullenly in the corner of the room. He had been there all day, and L had been spending all day trying to cheer the boy up. Yet every time he tried he was only shrugged off.
'I spent my whole life trying to make him proud and he disowned me for telling him that I'm in love…with a man…' light thought with tears welling in his eyes. 'I…I can't help it…I thought maybe he'd be happy I chose someone smart and unique like L…instead of Misa being the airhead she is…'
L frowned trying to think of something that could put that cute smile back on Light's face. "Light…I hate seeing you like this…" he began, holding the
boy lightly and resting his head on the teen's shoulder.
"Just go away." He replied simply, looking in the opposite direction.
The detective was hurt and decided to seek help from the only person he
thought might be able to help.

"Watari…can I talk to you?"
The elderly man turned to face L holding a tray of tea, "of course, I'm always here for you L" he replied with a smile.
The detective held his thumb to his mouth as he deciding just how to tell the man who had been like a father to him for as long as he could remember what the problem was. "Last night, I accompanied Light-kun to his home for dinner. He told his family something very important and his father…had a strong negative reaction…I'm…not quite sure how to get him
out of this mood…"
"What exactly did he say?" Watari said now curious as to what got L so worried about Light.
"Well…he told his family that he and I…are together…" the detective
admitted biting on his thumb harder, fearing Watari might react with the same hatred as Lights father had, and at the same time struggling to keep his normal demeanor.
There was a long heavy silence as the man processed what he had just been told. The only sound in the room was Watari setting down the tray slowly, most likely to keep from dropping and breaking it. L's gaze hadn't lifted from the floor during the entire conversation.
"Well…I'm defiantly…shocked. I can't say I entirely approve of you being involved with your Kira suspect in such a way. That being said, I am happy you've found someone that makes you...well, happy…from the sound of it. He probably just wants someone to listen to him right now."
L was defiantly relieved that Watari had such a calm reaction, "thank you" he said with a small smile looking up at the man before he went to console Light.
Watari let out a huge sigh, 'honestly, and people wonder why I look so old. I suppose I should be happy…but L has never been wrong about a suspect and I don't trust that boy.' He thought glaring a bit in the direction of the room Light was sulking in.

L slowly walked up to Light and crouched right in front of him, "Light, please talk to me…"
"I don't want to talk right now…" the teen said, moving his hair to covering his face, L reached up to wipe the hair away but Light moved keeping L from seeing his face 'I don't want him to see me crying.' "Just go away."
"I'm not going to do that until you start talking to me."
"Everything I did…I did it to make him proud…and trough it all…he hates
me because I told him I'm happy with you…" Light couldn't stop a few tears from escaping and rolling down his face.
"Light…" he breathed softly, lifting the teen's chin so they were looking
into each other's eyes, and suddenly, nothing more needed to be said as L slowly leaned down and kissed the teen lightly, their lips barely touching.
"I love you and that's what matters, eventually your father will come around and if not, then we'll just have to cross that bridge when we get there."
Light held onto L tightly crying into his chest, he wasn't quite sure what he
was feeling at that moment, it seemed everything he felt had all blended into one strange emotion.
His crying quickly subsided as he felt L stroking his back a bit awkwardly; he wanted to look up at L but couldn't move, so he just cuddled into L's chest, smiling as he smelled the strange sweet scent of the detective.
He hadn't even realized how tired he was until he was drifting
on the edge of consciousness in L's arms, he thought he mumbled something along the lines of "I love you" right before he dozed off, but couldn't be too sure it.

It was a few hours later when Light woke up in the same spot, still feeling
the warmth of L's arms around him, he also felt L's fingers running through
his chestnut hair, the teen looked up at the detective still half asleep, he
saw L's eyes looking down at him, he looked so calm, it was the first time he
hadn't seen L looking around, analyzing every little detail, for once he
looked like he was involved in the moment instead of just observing from the sidelines, "sleep well Light-chan?"
"…chan?" He asked in confusion before his expression quickly changed looking completely unamused.
"Yes, chan. You're rather submissive and often act like a woman, so I called you, quite accurately, Light-chan" he explained with a smile.
"Very funny." He replied sarcastically. Surprised that he felt only a small bit of anger towards the nick name. "So, what should we do now?"
L shrugged and started staring off into space; Light cuddled back into the
older man's chest feeling very serene.
"L?" he mumbled quietly closing his
eyes again.
"Hm?"
"What are you thinking about?"
There was a slight pause from L before he spoke, "…nothing important…"
His voice began to pick up a sad tone. Light looked up at him, "of course it's important."
L let out a small sigh before continuing, "I have quite a bit on my mind
actually…" the teen hummed a bit,
"so tell me about it."
"Well…I've been thinking about the past and the present and a bit about the future…"
"…stop being so vague."
He sighed again, "well I was thinking about the past...my childhood and my family… I've also been thinking of you and I right now, and what could happen in the future…"
Light smiled, "please, tell me about them…"
"Hm?"
"Your family, tell me about them…"
