Chapter nineteen:
Light can't help but smile. "L… So your name is L." He says happily. "That is so great. I'm so happy you told me." He cups L's cheek turning him to face him and he leans down kissing the other gently.
L blinks as his mind goes blank as Light kisses him. He sits there for a few moments before Light pulls back.
Light looks into L's eyes. "I think this calls for some celebration."
L raises his eyebrow at the other who smiles widely.
Light unlocks the handcuffs and L lowers his hands glad to be out of those. "There we go." He says letting go of the cuffs. "Just stay with me." He moves towards the door and L gets up following almost hesitantly… Then Light stops. "Oh yeah."
L tilts his head slightly.
Light turns to L and he pulls something out of his pocket which turns out to be the bracelet. "The guards might try to attack you if you aren't wearing this." He picks up L's hand gently and slips it on.
L nods softly.
Light keeps their hands linked for a bit longer before they slip apart. "Well… Let's go. I think you'll like what I have in store."
L tilts his head softly wondering what Light has planned. He glances as they pass by a door that looks like it could take them downstairs into some dungeon or basement. He wonders if the other two he had heard were captured when they were in the same area before they were presented to Light for him to decide what to do.
"L?"
L turns back to Light as they both have slowed to a stop now.
"You ok?"
L nods.
"Will you talk to me?" Light moves closer.
L watches Light.
Light sighs. "Well then let's keep going." He takes the lead again and they head to wherever Light is taking them.
They are silent then they arrive at what appears to be a dinning place.
"Find a seat and wait here." Light says then heads off out of the room.
L turns to look at the table. "It's so big…." He says quietly to himself and he glances around the room.
It is well decorated like you would expect in a castle with pleasant paintings lining the walls, an expensive looking carpet that goes well with the beautifully done brown walls. It all looks very nice.
L turns to the table and walks over to it pulling out a chair and settles in his signature sitting position. He begins to contemplate a few things bringing a hand up to let his thumb rest on his bottom lip.
If I continue to follow Light with whatever he has planned will it turn to be the right thing to do? I find it as only a five percent chance that I will be able to do anything helpful otherwise. Right now the kingdom would see that there is no way to contact Near who would be the only one that they would currently see as the only one that could take the throne. This is because those in the Yagami family have been seen as royalty for a very long time so it would seem unnatural to them if suddenly this chain was broken. Light is Near's to deal with and in the meantime I will figure out something else to do.
L bites his thumbs fingernail instead of sighing as most of that was just him reminding himself of the way things are so he decides to just continue with his thoughts.
And that something else could be that for now perhaps I could work on maybe trying to stop Light's evil as he continues to rule. Expressing my concerns and dislikes about something he is doing or has done or is doing definitely looks like it affects him. He doesn't want his actions to hurt me. So it is a much better percentage at twenty percent that I should just go along with this plan.
"You're so cute when you get lost in thought."
L blinks back to reality and he turns to look to Light who is standing beside him now.
Light reaches over and gently removes L's thumb from his mouth and looks at it a little concerned. "Just make sure you don't hurt yourself." He tells the raven.
"I'm ok. I was biting the fingernail." L assures him.
Light looks to him with a slightly bigger smile at this response. "It's good to hear you talking." He informs L letting him have his hand back before settling in the seat right next to the other. "Anyways it should be coming soon." He adds.
"What is?" L asks.
Light chuckles. "Impatient? Well you will see when it comes." He tells L gently.
L blinks wondering what Light is planning.
….
Near settles in his bed to get some rest and he closes his eyes soon falling asleep hoping to see Mello in his dreams. He blinks his eyes open to find himself at the usual place with no one in front of him.
"Nate."
Near blinks in surprise then he turns around to see if it really is who he thinks it is. He smiles happily upon seeing that it is indeed who he thought it is. "Mother." He hurries over to Miskumi who embraces him in a hug as he runs into her arms as she smiles warmly at him. "It's so good to see you."
"You too my son." Miskumi responds.
After a moment they pull apart.
"Now. I only have limited time." Miskumi says. "Please understand."
"I do. It is like with Mihael." Near assures her.
She nods. "Good." She looks serious to him. "There is some very important information that you must know." She informs him. "Listen to me my dear son and I will tell you a small story."
Near watches her as he listens.
"The story of how you came to possess the power of water."
…
A servant comes into the room causing L and Light to pause in their conversation about their favorite times of day.
Light's is the middle of the day with the sun shining in the sky.
L's on the other hand is midnight especially on full moons.
The servant comes over to them then places one plate in front of each of them before bowing then leaving the room.
L looks down to the plate… Only to…. Find…. Cake! He blinks in pleasant surprise then looks to Light who grins at him.
AN:
