Well...this is a bit depressing. I had written quite a bit into this chapter when I accidently deleted it all. Sigh. Well, thanks for the nice reviews and story alerts. Whoever my tenth reviewer is will get a one shot of their choice. Any pairing you would like. Well, this chapter is sort of fun to write, I found out. Hopefully writing it a second time will prove to be more fun T.T *dies* Enjoy~
P.S: Don't die of shock at my quick updating, I'm sure this is a once in a life time thing XD
Light hadn't spoken to him in a week. L didn't understand. What he said to Light hadn't been that bad, had it? No, Light was acting like a woman, Mello had pointed out to L. Perhaps seeking romantic advice from Mello hadn't been such a good idea...
"I apologize for taking time out of your studying, Mello." L said, leaning forward and adjusting his webcam over a bit. "Thank you speaking with me."
"You didn't interupt my studying, Mello lazily crossed his legs and shifted his position in the large, black computer chair he sat in. He snapped off a piece of chocolate before continuing. "You interupted my physics class. But that's alright with me. I know more about the material than the teacher does." He shrugged. "So what doyou need? You never have one on one video conferences with people, let alone me. Did Roger mention something about my behavior? I swear Matt and I did not set Linda's sketchbook on fire." Mello quickly added with a worried look.
"No, Mello. That's not what this is about, and I will forget I heard any of that." L snatched a few sugar cubes off his desk and dropped them into his cup. "Actually this is about my relationship." Mello's blue eyes grew wide.
"You're seriously coming to me for relationship advice? Don't you have Watari for that?" The detective chuckled.
"Watari is much older than I, and Light is a few years my junior. Actually, he is only four years older than you, Mello. I was assuming you could possibly relate to him since you are close in age." Mello grinned.
"You sound creepy, L."
"Mello." L warned, adding a bit of coffee to his sugar. He didn't like much coffee with it. It ruined the taste. "Can you be mature about this conversation? Or should I seek advice from Near?" That did it. Mello tensed and sat up straight. Even though they were a couple, Mello still considered Near competition. What a shame...
"What's going on with Light?" Mello asked seriously. L took a deep breath and quickly explained their fight. Mello grew silent, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I see. Perhaps his father has threatened him before about being gay? Or maybe he is extremely homophobic. Just look at Roger." Mello snorted. "I don't see how anyone could be more conservative than him, though. Being gay really is frowned upon, L." Mello had a point.
"Then why doesn't he come forward and say this to me? Why does he ignore me, and avert his gaze when I'm in the same room with him? The men on this case are growing suspicious." L placed his face in his hands. "This is also getting in the way of the case."
"Why don't you do something so he can't avoid you? Lock him a room with you, claim it's to prove he isn't Kira, or something." L's eyes lit up as he lifted his head. "Obviously I sparked an idea? You look inspired." Mello warily watched his mentor through the screen. L picked up his mug and ate a few cubes as the warm coffee ran down his throat.
"Actually Mello, that is a spectacular idea. I believe I have an idea now. Thank you very much."
"You have to be kidding me." Light groaned as L secured the cuff around his wrist. "L, I have places to be, places to go. I don't want to drag you along."
"You just proved to me your Kira."
"Alright, fine. I'll do this stupid experiment with you, if it will prove my innocence."
"Good, I thought you would come around." L inwardly chuckled. This had better work.
Alright, I know. This chapter is ridiculously short. But I thought that was a great place to leave off. Reviews would be appreciated! Also, if you would like to see the story go in a certain way, let me know! Thanks~
