Sorry it's been a while, it's the usual, been busy with school and my bountiful social agenda ;P
Well here it is, the third instalment (can I call it that?) of Perfect Match
I just want to apologize profusely in case I get any facts wrong, Death Note is definitely not one of my strong points, but I hope you enjoy it ^^
Disclaimer – of course I wouldn't own anything
The crash and clatter of the bowl and chop sticks as they hit the floor broke L's trance. It can't have been, it couldn't be, but there was no denying the fact. It was the same man, but now he was dead, murdered. L shivered and began picking up the broken shards or china. It was surely a coincidence, who would have done it? Light? Surely not.
L cleared the rest of the mess away and resumed his stance on the sofa. He glanced sideways at the wall, his shadow was freaking him out. His sight shifted to the window where he swore he saw something. L flinched as the bushes and trees outside brushed against each other in the wind. Apart from the occasional whistle of the wind all L could hear was the beat of his own heart. It was loud and it seemed to echo in his rib cage. The more he thought about it the faster his heart began to beat. L began panting, he was scaring himself but he didn't know how to stop it. He gripped the arm of the sofa tightly, his knuckles turning white. His whole body began to shake as this fear took over. He couldn't stop thinking. Sweat beaded at his forehead and dripped down his face. Tears soon joined the salty beads.
The loud ringing of the doorbell broke him out of his fit, but before L knew what was happening his vision blurred and he collapsed on the floor, unconscious.
Beep
Beep
Beep
L opened his eyes and winced at the brightness. Machines surrounded him along with their insufferable beeping. The room was empty until he came to the corner, he sensed motion and blinked slowly. "Hey sweet cheeks," Light walked over to his side and sat down on the chair reserved for visitors. L, instead of being alarmed as he should be, sighed with relief. After all he had no real family and this was better than waking up to a nurse. At least it was a familiar face, and familiar good looking face at that. L hid a blush in his drowsiness and nodded in recognition. "You had me scared for a moment there. I thought I'd lost something," L wasn't sure whether he meant him personally, or maybe he was talking about something else.
"Anyway I'm glad you're awake, even though you're as beautiful as anything when you're knocked up on anaesthetic, you're eyes are gorgeous." This time L couldn't suppress the blush, it covered his cheeks like a banner declaring his flattered embarrassment. Light smiled softly, "You like compliments? Then I'll have to give you some more..." Light went off on a roller coaster of compliments. L just lay there listening, his voice was comforting to listen to.
"Are you even paying attention?"
"Kinda," his voice was croaky and quiet but Light heard him.
"You should listen, anyways you're the one that should be complimenting me, after all I was the one that found you and brought you here."
L's mind flashbacked to the previous evening; the fear conquering his mind, the uncontrollable apprehension and the black out. "How did you get into my house?" L asked drowsily.
"Well there was a little bit of a disagreement between the front door and I. It didn't want to open for some bizarre reason. But don't worry," Light carried on, surveying the worried frown on L's face, "Everything is taken care of, I paid for a new door and a new lock and here are your keys." Light passed over a couple of spare keys all attached to a key ring. The key-ring itself had a plastic shiny red apple attached to it. "You were buying apples the when I met you in the store, I thought you might like it." Light grinned, he knew how to make the right people happy.
"Thanks, but there's one thing that bothers me," L began. Light nodded, preparing for the query. "Why were you trying to get into my house in the first place?"
