At the sound of the sirens Misa looked at Light horrified, in realization what she had just done. The squad cars surrounded the entrance to the coffee shop red lasers landed on Misa's slender frame. The woman who called stood up and shouted, "She's Kira! She said it! I have proof! I recorded it!" Another man climbed down from the tree, "I have it too!"
Light looked at Misa as she put her hands up and dropped the gun. A jet black sedan with a single flashing blue light inside the dashboard pulled up in between police cars. Watari bolted out of the rear passenger seat and ran towards L.
Light was holding L keeping his head up and his body steady. L reached up towards Watari. Watari pulled a radio out and began speaking into it. L's hand fell on to his lap.
"Position take. Female assailant is confirmed as Kira." Watari looked directly at Light. "Aim true." Light picked L up and started carrying him bridal style to the nearing ambulance. Watari closed his eyes and turned away from Misa. "Fire. Execute Kira." A single shot rung into the night. Misa dropped to her knees and fell to the ground in a heap. A single tear falling from her eye as her final thought passed, "I love you so much, I'd die for you."
The paramedic loaded L onto the ambulance and barred Light from boarding. "Only immediate family."
Watari came up behind Light, "This young man and myself is all the family that boy has. I would much rather ride in the comfort of my own vehicle." Watari patted Light on the shoulder and walked back to his ride. The paramedic motioned for Light to get in and he followed after closing the doors as the ambulance peeled away from the scene.
Watari's sedan pulled up the the entrance of the hospital, his personal security surrounding him flashing Interpol badges to the security guards. Watari spoke with the woman at the front desk and she directed him. Watari and his security departed for the emergency center on the main floor.
Light paced outside the doors to the emergency room. Getting more irritable as the time passed. Watari rounded the corner with his guards, he pointed out several locations and the floor was immediately secured by Interpol and MI5. Watari sat down in a chair and folded his hands and bowed his head. Light slowly approached Watari, being watched at his every step. Light placed his hand on Watari's hands. Light sat across from him and bowed his head. Watari smiled faintly, "Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen." Light sat silently as Watari recited this prayer. "L may not be a religious man, but I, Light Yagami, am." Light nodded. "I forgive you, if L can forgive you for your trespasses, then there is hope for you yet."
They sat in silence for hours.
The doors opened and a doctor covered in blood approached the two men. He knelt down and took his mask off, "He's stable, he'll need to be moved to ICU. We were successful in removing the bullet and their fragments. Once we know he can breathe on his own he will be moved again to the AAU. From there he will be sent to recovery and be discharged after he has fully recovered, if all goes according to plan."
Watari opened his mouth but Light beat him to the question, "When can we see him? Where is he now? Do we need to take any precautions before seeing him?" Watari smiled at Light's concern, "I guess you were right when you said he's an Angel in Demon's scales."
The doctor smiled, "He's being moved to ICU as we speak. Fifth floor."
Light looked at Watari, "You go ahead, we'll catch up."
Light got to the fifth floor out of breath, "Young man? Are you alright? Did you run up here?" The elevator beeped and Watari walked out.
"Light, that's impressive, you beat the elevator." Watari said behind his usual grin.
Light huffed and asked the woman about where L was at. She pointed down the hall.
L laid in bed gently stirring and he pulled the face mask off and laid silent for a while listening the the beeps of the machines and hearing Light argue with the nurse outside his room, "What do you mean I can't see him yet!"
L smiled at Light's voice and attempted to get out of bed but fell due to his lack of strength. Once on the ground his machine made a long beep, "l looked up, I guess according to that I'm dead." Nurses and doctors came rushing into his room with a cart full of supplies. The doctor stared at L, "False alarm, this one thinks he's a tough guy, nurse get him back in bed, I don't have time for this." The doctor stormed out of the room and a nurse slipped in behind him with a face mask and light blue scrubs the nurse gently touched L's arm.
"L." L looked up to see a set of familiar honey colored eyes and chestnut hair.
L threw his arms around Light wincing at the pain, Light hugged him loosely avoiding the site of his wound on his right side. "I missed you."
Light sighed and took off his face mask, "It hasn't even been a day yet, you need to rest so you can recover from your wound."
L sulked as Light placed him in bed and reconnected the leads. "Light-kun, I want you to stay."
Light sighed and smiled touching L's cheek, "You know I can't. I could get kicked out of the hospital. Then I won't be able to see you at all." Light placed a soft kiss on L's cheek making his face flush a light pink color. Light smiled placed his face mask back on a walked out of the room and into the bathroom where his normal clothes were hidden in a ceiling tile.
Over the course of the next week, Light would sneak into L's room and lay in bed with him. L was soon released to the Recovery Ward. Light walked into the ward with a gift. The box was wrapped in plain paper and duct tape.
L ferociously tore the package open, he looked up with the biggest smile. "Chocolate! About time, I was beginning to think I was starving."
Light rolled his eyes and leaned in to L, "You really piss me off you know that? The food they give you is healthy."
L got close to Lights face, "Where that may be true my deduction skills have decreased 70% they won't let me sit in a chair, give me any caffeine or sugar… They're killing me, Light-kun!" L whined.
Light sat on L's bed, "Well, you can't just sit here and eat them all, and as of right now there's nothing to deduce, Watari and I have been keeping a close look out for any suspicious activity anywhere in the globe, just relax." Light gently touched L's chin and gently kissed his lips.
L blushed and pulled Light in by the collar of his shirt deepening the kiss, "Light-kun, why do you tease me so." L whispered after parting.
Light scoffed, "Oh, I'm the one teasing? I think not."
L smiled and moved over making room for Light to get on the bed, "Please just lay with me a while, since you refuse to let me have my way. Can you at least stay?"
Light groaned, "Aww, but L, I have a lot to do, Watari has no shortage of things he wants me to do in your stead… You know it's no fun being you." Light smiled and sat next to him pressing his lips on L's once again. L smiled in Light's embrace pulling him closer and inched his hands down to the ends of Light's shirt. Light broke their kiss and arched an eyebrow, "L… What are you—"
Before Light could finish L had successfully pulled his shirt over his head and off him. "Yep. Still perfect." L traced Light's chest with his fingertips watching goosebumps rise in his finger's wake. L looked up and made eye contact with Light who was blushing.
"Okay, Mr. Ryuzaki, I need to check your… Oh my." A nurse said ducking her face behind her clipboard.
Light sprung up putting his shirt back on and cleared his throat, "Well, I'm glad to see your doing better." Light gave a sadistic grin and tapped L on his erect member that was concealed by his blanket.
"Goouff! You prick!" L rolled over into the fetal position groaning in pain.
Light passed the nurse, "He's all yours now. Oh and, Ryuzaki… Be a good boy." Light waved as L shouted curses at him.
The following morning, "Mr. Ryuzaki? Are you ready to try walking again? It will most likely hurt, but I believe your ready." The doctor said confidently.
"You know, the last time I tried to go to the bathroom on my own I fell and ended up crawling…" L scowled back at the doctor crossing his arms.
Within a few more weeks the doctors finally released L from their care. Light wheeled L out of the hospital, lecturing him about what he can and cannot do with the healing of his new stitches. Light stopped the wheelchair next to the black sedan. L sighed and struggled to get out of his chair. Light came around the chair and helped him up and into the car. He smiled and nodded at the nurse as she waved and took the chair back up to the building.
L watched out the window as buildings and streets passed by, "Light-kun, where are we going, you've missed the turn three times."
Light smiled, "I'm taking you home."
