Chapter five:
While they wait for the results to come in Light had noticed that L had slipped out for a bit. He follows the other with no one asking anything. He finds L stepping outside into the rain where he glances up at the stormy sky despite getting rather wet. He grabs an umbrella and approaches letting them both be under it causing L to turn to him. "What are you doing? You'll get yourself sick." He points out and L offers a small smile to him.
"I just really like the rain." L turns to look at what they can see of the falling rain drops. "And the way that it feels. I don't always get the chance to go out in it. So it is nice when there is a small moment that I can. Its so peaceful despite that storms can get so wild. The cool wet rain feels nice against my skin. It is quite different than just a warm comfort of the sun. I bring extra clothes even in these situations just so I can do this."
"I see." Light turns to look at the falling rain as well. He supposes that he can see what is so appealing about the rain to L. "I can let you feel it some more then you can move under the umbrella if you get too cold or have had enough." He offers and sees L nod softly.
"That would be nice."
Light moves away letting the rain fall over L's body once again. He watches as the other tilts his head back again closing his eyes to enjoy the rain. He smiles softly watching the other enjoy this. He hopes that he can find ways to see the peaceful enjoyment on L's face more. He also has to try to fight to keep his gaze on L's face as the wet clothes, especially that turning semi see through white shirt looks rather good on him in Lights opinion.
After a little bit L opens his eyes and heads over to Light to be in the shelter under the umbrella.
Light puts an arm around L's body to try to warm him up a little. "Come. Let's head inside." He so badly wants to kiss L and decides that yeah he has a crush on the other. He has known for a long time that he is bi sexual. He just hadn't really cared much about dating. He slightly wonders if him coming to accept his feelings for L, who is actually pretty cute to him, is helped by the fact that he is so close to finding his brother now.
"Light?" L looks to Light who blinks not having realized that he was lost in his thoughts. His soft look mixed with the wet black hair makes Light's heart skip a beat.
"Yes?" Light manages to keep his voice steady as he keeps eye contact with the other.
"I could tell you were watching me." L admits making Light blush a bit at being caught. "If you were looking the way I think you were then could I try something?"
"Try something?" Light raises his left eyebrow despite his heart starting to race in his chest.
"Yes. Something that could go very badly or very well." L confirms and he moves closer after Light nods his head that it is okay. He presses their lips softly against Lights as the two's eyes quickly close at the feeling.
Light loves how L's lips are softer than he thought lips could be and he is more than sure that the other's lips also taste very sweet because of his love of sweets. He leans a bit more into the kiss as their lips move together.
After a few moments the two pull apart and look at one another with their eyes now open since the kiss is broken.
"I've never felt like this for anyone before." L admits with a hushed tone and a slight blush dancing on his cheeks.
"It's okay. I never really cared about dating until I met you." Light tries to press L even closer to his body not caring if he gets soaked as well. "We can work on figuring it all out together." He gets a soft nod from L who seems to like that idea. "Now how about we head in and get dry before you get sick?" He leads the other inside after he nods again.
The two get changed and Light even makes sure to dry off L's hair. They head back and are met with Light's adoptive father when they return.
"Ah there you two are."
L speaks up before Light can say anything. "I apologize. It was my fault. I love the rain a lot and Light came with me making sure I wouldn't get myself sick. I needed that small breather."
Light's adoptive father smiles warmly. "It is alright. No need for that." He waves it off though does look proud of Light making sure L doesn't get sick. "I understand needing a small break sometimes. I just have some good news. The DNA is a match. We can arrest that bastard."
L nods his head glad to hear this. "Then we must prepare to move immediately. The sooner we track him down the better. Especially before he kills again."
"We can take care of the arrest if you would like to take a bit more of a breather." Light's adoptive father offers to L who nods softly.
"I will trust his arrest to you." L glances to Light. "I won't speak for Light however."
Light makes his choice pretty easily. He has watched enough videos of arrests that he isn't that eager to see one in real life right now. "I am alright. I can help hold down the fort so Ryuzaki doesn't have to worry about things when he needs a break."
Light's adoptive father nods and pats Light's shoulder proud of him making sure that his team is taken care of.
The others leave to go hurry to do the arrest.
Light and L go to sit down in their chairs side by side.
Light does notice L pulling up some other case files. "I thought you were going to be taking a break."
"I have too many cases to truly take more of a break." L informs Light then glances away to his own phone as he gets a message. He sends a message back then turns back to the other case files.
Light turns L's chair away surprising the other. "Nah. I think that you do need a bit more of a break. I will help you catch up on your other work. But I think it would be best if you relax a little more."
"And what do you suggest we do then?" L inquires resting his thumb on his bottom lip making Light want to remove it to kiss those lips.
"We could watch something or maybe read? Or just find a place to relax together and I can hold you." Light offers not realizing how excited he actually is to be able to do such things with another.
"Why don't we read and do so?" L offers and Light nods.
The two head to where the break room couch is and Light makes sure to grab some of the books he had gotten his adoptive mother to bring him.
Light shows L the books as he lays back with L laying on top of him with his back on Light's chest as they read one of the books together. He isn't sure that he's ever felt so warm and happy in his life.
After they finish a chapter L speaks up. "By the way Light." He continues after Light gives an inquisitive hum. "I got a message and after we close this case I can take you to the orphanage your brother is in. It was who I suspected that it was."
Light gasps and his heart could almost burst out of his chest in excitement. "Seriously?" He gets a nod and nuzzles L's hair with his cheek then kisses the other's cheek when he turns to look to the other. "Thank you so much! I can't wait to see him again!"
"It's no problem." L assures Light staying close as the book is abandoned for more cuddles on the couch together.
