The plane jolted as it began to descend. Light startled awake. L watched out the window. Light scowled at L, "Sit normally in the seat, at least just while the plane lands."
L stared at Light innocently as he plopped his butt into the seat and buckled in. "I suppose I could make that happen."
Light laid his head back, "Flying for so long is borderline torture."
L bit hit thumbnail, "I see why people stay here, they dreaded the plane ride back home."
They exited the airport after checking out through security, walking while holding hands.
Light chuckled and kissed L's cheek. "Which hotel will we be staying in?"
L looked at the small bundle of papers, "Pier One? Here's the address. So it looks like... Light... Light? What are you doing?"
A white car pulled up in front of them, a sign on the top that read: "Taxi". Light stared at L confused, "Shall we?" He opened the door and bowed. L scrunched his nose and playfully pushed Light. L hung his head and got in the car, "I'm beginning to think I'm hopeless without Watari."
"Greetings mates! Were' too?" The tan driver asked with a huge smile. His bright blue eyes highlighting his blonde hair.
Light gave the driver the place they needed to be, as the car coasted to a start Light put his arm around L. "That's not true, if put in the situation you would survive." Light kissed L's ear. Cracking a small smile from L. Light watched the city go by the window and L watched Light. Light glanced over to L to catch his stare. "What's on your mind, Hun?"
L closed his eyes, smiled and cuddled up to Light. "I can't remember my life before you. It's like you've been here my whole life."
Light kissed the top of L's head, "That's a good thing though, right?"
L sighed, "Of course, but every time we go after a Death Note we risk our lives. Don't mistake, I'll lay my life down for justice. But you don't have to if you don't want to."
Light grabbed L's hand and interlaced their fingers. "L, you waited two years in a hospital room. And I'm finding out from my mother that my dad wanted to pull the plug but you stopped that, and even signed to take care of me, before any promise was ever made. I think this is the least I can do. Be honest, you think I would let you be in danger alone?" Light ran his fingers through L's hair, "You'll never be alone again."
L smiled and pointed out the car window, "You can see the opera house."
Light leaned in and breathed hotly in L's ear, "Don't change the subject."
L blushed brightly, "But the driver." The taxi driver rolled his eyes, "Wouldn't be the first time kids... And it wouldn't have been the las'. 'Owever, we're 'ere."
The car pulled to a stop and both Light and L stared at their hotel. "Alright, mates! You enjoy your stay here!" The driver held out his hand for his payment, L got the bags out of the back and Light paid him.
L stared at the long hotel. Light turned around and snapped his fingers, "I get it! The whole hotel is the pier." L gave Light an enduring smile.
They walked into the main lobby and admired their surroundings. L whistled and Light was wide eyed, "Watari doesn't fuck around, huh?"
L wandered the lobby, "It wasn't much to look at on the outside but it's beautiful on the inside."
Light handed L a key, "He put us in the honeymoon suite..."
L smiled, "That old dog."
They walked down the hall and stopped in front of the room. Light slid the card and L opened the door for him, "Oh, thanks, Darling!" Light sneered sarcastically.
L grinned, "Just because I don't want to carry bags or swipe cards doesn't mean I don't care about you." L leaned in and kissed Light's cheek, "Look at this place!" L shouted as he ran into the apartment like hotel room.
"Let's get our system set up over here, away from the windows and doors." Light suggested. L nodded in agreement.
Light sat next to a secluded wall and began setting up L's massive computer center. "Light, I still don't know how you managed to fit everything we need into three bags." L speculated with his index finger on his bottom lip.
Light smiled and looked at L, "Well, we'll need to buy clothes."
L scowled, "So, why did you have me pack the clothes?!"
Light stood up and took a couple steps in L's direction. "To get you out of the way of packing up the system." L took a couple steps back. Light tilted his head. "I'm sorry?"
L sighed and walked up to Light and put his arms around his waist. "It's fine. I'm hungry. I'm going to order room service." L picked up the menu with his index fingers and thumbs.
Light grumbled and continued to set up their mobile command center.
L picked up the phone and ordered his room service, as he finished his order his cell phone rang. L looked at his cell phone, "Watari, what's the problem?" L stepped outside on their dock.
Light finished setting everything up and leaned out the sliding glass door, "I'm going to take a shower." L nodded and gave him a thumbs up while talking to Watari on the phone.
Light stood in the marble shower allowing the wall jets and and rain style head pelt him with almost scalding water. Light leaned over balancing himself on the wall using his palms. Light hung his head, "He hasn't so much as called me. Sayu sent me an email, with pictures of everything she's been doing in school and mom calls me every night. But dad... I guess I am an embarrassment to him." Light closed his eyes and tried to shake the sad thoughts. Light let out a frustrated growl. Then lathered the soap in his hair.
L leaned backwards into the room from outside, "Watari, I will talk soon, I think Light might be over thinking life again. Yep. You too." L walked into the apartment like room, "Light?" L took a couple more cautious steps, "Light?!" L started to silently panic, he started running towards the bathroom. "Could they have figured us out already? How? We haven't done anything!" L stopped and the door to the bathroom. And found Light sitting on the floor of the shower. "Light?" He called to him in a hushed tone.
Light quietly looked over his shoulder, "What's the matter? Are you ready to get started? Has Watari sent us the information on the victims?"
L sighed in relief. "Why didn't you answer me?"
Light arched an eyebrow, "The water pressure in here is amazing, it's hard to hear you right now in the same room, nonetheless behind a closed door across the suite." Light stood up and shooed L, "I'm getting out, go on!" L smirked at the sight of Light's body. "No, we have work! Get out pervert!"
L pouted, "Pervert?" L walked back and sat down in front of the computer analyzing the files Watari sent to them.
Light came out of the bathroom in a pair of sweatpants and not another stitch. Light plopped down next to L, "So?" Light and L read over he files together. L placed his hand on Light's and he gently squeezed it as he continued to read. L looked at Light, "They're being targeted."
Light nodded. "Insurance. They're all higher ranking officials of insurance companies... I can't help but see the irony."
