Bubblegum


"Hey, Light. That's a nice pink shirt."

Light looked down at the shirt he had hastily donned after rolling out of bed, wanting to smack himself in the face as he realized that it was, indeed, a bright pink.

Oh, God, the guys at work will never let me live this down…

Recovering himself, Light looked at L, surprised to see L was totally serious in his compliment and was staring at Light's shirt with a contemplative look. "Ah… thanks, I guess…?"

"You look like that stuff… what's it called? Girls chew it…" L asked, muttering to himself, before he snapped his fingers, lips curling into a happy smile. "Ah, yes! Bubble gum!"

Bubblegum? Light thought with horror. Shoot me now!

"Yeah... L, no I don't."

"I don't think I've ever had bubble gum… Don't you blow bubbles with it…?" L trailed off, tapping his finger against his chin as he thought.

Light smirked, seeing the opening L had unwittingly gave him. He slyly pulled out a pair of sunglasses that were in his pocket, slipped them on, and then snapped his head up, raised his eyebrow and said, "Haha… yeah, well…you uh… you can… Blow me anytime."
