Flirt


"Hey, L, I've noticed…" Light started one day as he was putting groceries away, having just gotten back from the store.

L, who had went with him- albeit invisibly, because he couldn't be bothered with actually putting shoes on and the other necessities of appearing human – and was now perched upon a chair by the table, watching Light move about the kitchen, looked up.

"Yes?" he enquired.

Pausing, Light turned to face L, brows furrowed as he posed his question. "Well, whenever I go to the store, there are always female cashiers trying to flirt with me. And I realized that over the course of the first few weeks we were attached together, you never once attempted to flirt with me in order to get me to like you. You just rushed headlong in."

Leaning back on the edge of the counter, Light folded his arms, gazing at L with speculation in his eyes. "Why?"

L blinked, and then answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Because I know people like you, Light," he told the human, rolling his eyes. "Flirting was too boring to hold your attention. I had to try something more drastic."

"Oh, really? Like what?"

L gave Light a little smile and a one-shouldered shrug, tail flicking about mischievously. "I don't need to flirt, Light. I seduced you with my awkwardness."
