The plane touched down on the runway and jolted both L and Light awake. L looked out the window and pointed out buildings of importance to Berlin out to Light. Light watched out the window as L leaned closer touching the glass explaining what the history of some of the buildings was. Light looked at L and touched his left cheek with his hand and kissed his right cheek. L smiled and put his hand on Light's. Watari started rounding up the baggage, and sighed and rolled his eyes at the boys. "Young love." He thought to himself then a smile crept across his face.
L and Light unbuckled themselves and exited the plane with Watari. As they looked outside a massive thunderstorm was rolling in over the distance. L speculated, "Hopefully we'll be gone by the time that hits."
Light touched the window, "Why?"
L looked at him from the corner of his eye without turning his head, "A storm like that looks like it might ground flights. I'm in fact 94% certain that storm will ground Berlin until it clears."
The two young ladies both stopped in front of Light, the first girl speaking fluent Japanese and the second girl waving at L like a dope.
Light looked at the girl then looked back at L. He shrugged. Light looked at her odd, "I speak fluent English. I wish you wouldn't stereotype like that." Light turned and began following Watari with his backpack.
L gave the girls a devious smile, "Oh, and he's mine. So. Run along… Again." Satisfied in himself he put his left hand in his pocket and grabbed his backpack with his right.
L caught up with Light and glanced over his shoulder seeing the female storming after them. L gave a small panicked look. Light stopped and looked back and quickly analyzed the situation. Light looked into L's dark eyes and gently touched his chin and kissed him in the middle of the busy airport.
The blonde female stopped and just stood in awe at what she was seeing. The other girl caught up, "Oh, bummer, they're gay." She handed the other girl her purse and they walked off. As they walked passed the couple, "It's always the good looking ones." She gave L a defeated smile.
Light watched the girls walk off, then looked at L. "Look, intelligence can't fight against irrational hormones. Don't get caught up in females."
L smirked. "I can't help it."
Watari stopped and looked at the moving screens. "Well, boys, unless we want to sleep here it's best we find a hotel for the next week."
L stopped and watched the Doppler radar of the airport. "Will they refund us?"
Watari smiled, "Already taken care of. Looks like we'll be detouring."
L sighed. "Well. Watari I trust you can take care of everything? I'd like to stretch and explore, the last time we came through here we were in a bit of a hurry so I never got to sightsee… It would appear we have the time now."
L smiled at Light who was reading tour papers and local information. "He just refuses to stop learning for a single day." L walked up behind him and hugged him from behind. Light never moved he just kept reading with a smile.
Watari dropped some shoes and socks next to L. "If your going to do that in public at least wear shoes."
L whined, "Watari, they will confine my feet and reduce my deductive reasoning by 15%, and the socks are itchy. And the bottoms of the shoes hurt my feet."
Watari folded his arms and gave L, "the dad stare".
"Okay fine." L muttered as he sat down in the middle of the floor placing the shoes on his feet.
Light smiled and held his hand out for L. L looked up and took his hand and was yanked up into a hug. "Where should we begin?" Light asked enthusiastically.
L placed his thumb on his lower lip, "Hmm. How about the Brandenburg Gate?"
Light shrugged and followed L out as he waved to Watari.
Watari shouted after them. "You best be careful!"
L and Light wandered the streets of Berlin, "It's beautiful here." Light commented.
"Even rain can slow this city down, with a lot of things to do, we should get started." L said dully.
Seeing monument after museum after landmark Light was still excited to continue. L was not so much, "Light-kun, I'm hungry." He whined tugging on Light's shirt.
Light turned around and smiled, "Alright." Light looked down at his map and pointed, "How about there?"
L nodded, "It'll do."
Light grabbed ahold of L's hand, "Remember when you asked me to pick a place?"
L nodded slowly unsure of what Light was getting at.
Light looked up and smiled, "Seems Fate chose for me. I want this to be my getaway with you."
L tilted his head and gave a half smirk. "I guess this will do."
They walked into the restaurant and were seated almost immediately by a very polite waiter. "Everyone is so nice here." Light commented watching all the happy patrons.
L just watched Light, "Light-kun?"
Light looked back into L's eyes, "Hmm?"
L looked down at the table as the waiter took their order and walked away. "I don't say it often, because I've never had to deal with this before, so, when I remember, I'll try to say it, I love you. You'll have to understand… I've always been on the outside looking in." L looked up, "I think the monster finally consumed me."
Light looked at him puzzled, "You're not a monster, you never were. You were like me, numb. So, you'll have to accept my apology, I've said it so many times that it's lost meaningfulness to me." Light placed his hands on L's, "But if there's one thing I want you to completely understand. You are the first person I have ever actually felt something for. So, I love you too."
L smiled, "You're the first person whose ever actually touched me. It seems together we'll be enduring many firsts."
Light smiled and left a note on the table along with a one hundred dollars. "Sorry, change of plans, please accept this as an apology." Light grabbed L's hand and pulled him behind him.
"Light-kun! Hungry!" L called out while being dragged.
"We'll get room service!" Light yelled back.
L's eyes widened at the possibility of all the sweets they would serve.
They stopped in front of a grand hotel. "The Regent Berlin."
Light walked in and asked if there were any empty rooms available. She nodded, "Well sure, but it's the Honeymoon suite."
"That's fine", Light paid for the luxurious room.
They walked into the grand suite. L's eyes grew wide and grabbed a menu holding it in his usual manner while standing near the phone.
Light surveyed the well decorated room and flopped on the King sized bed and opened his arms spreading them across the bed. L picked up the phone and ordered in a hushed tone.
Afterwards, L stood next to the bed gently caressing the silk sheets. Staring into Light's eyes. Light returned his stare. L smiled and fell onto the plush bed and cuddled up to Light.
A knock came at the door, "Room service."
The young men looked at each other, "That was fast." L grinned and ran to the door, the cart wheeled in with towers of sweets. "Oh, Light you've made me the happiest man alive!" The waiter bowed and walked out of the room.
Light rolled his eyes, "Me?"
L smiled back at him muttering, "Well yes… I used your card information to pay for this."
Light's jaw dropped and he fell back onto the bed biting his lip. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
L jumped on the bed, cake in each hand and smashed them both into his shirt. Light shot up taking his shirt off and diving on L. "Oh! Another fight! Bring it on, Light!"
Light tore L's shirt up over his head and pinned him to the ground straddling his hips. "You're going to get it now!" Light grabbed more cake from the tray and smashed it into L's face. L pulled the tray over dropping all the sweets on both of them. Causing both of them to laugh.
L pulled light down to his level and kissed him passionately, "You finally taste sweet, Light-kun. I could get used to this."
"Shut up, L." Light leaned down and kissed him again, smearing more cake into his hair.
"Okay, you jerk!" L shouted and pulled him into a tight hug and rolled them over and dumped pudding over Light.
Light shuddered, "That feels so gross!"
L smiled deviously, "Shower time!" L sprinted to the bathroom that was beautiful decorated and casted with marble. Leaving a trail of cake and pudding behind him. Light got up and followed him into the bathroom.
"Your love is like the North Star," Light hugged L from behind with a squish sound. "I'm sorry I got lost before I found the right path."
L turned around and hugged Light to his chest. "I love you. That was cheesy, even for you." L took a step back and pulled Light into the shower. And placed a silent kiss on his lips as the sweets washed away.
