LxLight- Change of events

1

The greatest detective in the world sat staring at a blank screen. The pitch black room he was in was lightly lit by the blue light from the screen. He should be working on the kira case but something had changed in him. His friend Light was currently detained for suspicion of being kira. Despite L being the person who put him in there, he never expected these new emotions to develop because of Lights absence. He sat in his normal position in the chair accessing everything.

This was a new emotion for him completely. It had been very few times that L ever had a friend but this was still different. It was decided he missed Light and he would think nothing more of it for now. Clicking a few buttons on his computer swiftly a W appeared on the screen and L spoke to Watari.

"Watari I need you to transport me to the area we are detaining Misa and Light."

"May I ask why?"

"Now is not the time Watari."

"Yes of course." L walked out of his room and went upstairs to meet Watari, ready to be escorted away.

Watari flew him to the large building where they were detaining their main suspect. He kept glancing at L. He was worried about him as he never saw him act in such a way. L was unfocused, on edge and seemed to be acting without thought. The old man worried for him but would allow him to do his own thing. Watari landed on the roof of the building and watched as L walked inside. He was very worried.

L unlocked the door to the floor that Lights cell was on. He walked nervously around unlocking and relocking the door as he neared his friend. There was a funny feeling in his stomach that he could only describe as a flipping sensation. He stopped at the last door and stared at the handle. He took a deep breath and turned the handle. As he walked in and saw Light lying on the floor with his hands cuffed behind his back he felt regret and sadness. Light turned his head and sat up quickly when he saw L stood outside the bars of his cell.

"Ryuzaki? Why are you here? What's happened in the investigation that means you need come to me?" L forgot any reason why he actually came.

"Nothing has happened Light. I just came to check on you."

"Oh," He slopped back down on to the cold hard ground. "Why would you do that?" L walked in the cell and sat beside Light.

"I don't know. I think I got used to your company and I... Missed you." Light frowned. There was silence and L felt nervous but he didn't know why. He watched Light curiously and slightly sad. He still couldn't explain these feelings even though he was with Light. He only knew it had something to do with Light because that's who he was constantly thinking about.

L wished he could make Light happier as he found it distressing that he was so depressed. However it's to be expected when you're in detainment.

"Ryuzaki, I know you probably can't discuss it with me as I'm the prime suspect. However I still like to think I'm part of the investigation team. Has anything important happened in the investigation?" Light was sure L wouldn't tell him anything.

"You're right I probably shouldn't tell you anything. But I will anyway. Kira has begun killing people again." Light was very curious as to why L would share information with him especially as he specifically said he shouldn't. Light tried to sit up but the handcuffs made it hard. L jumped to Light and uncuffed him, Then moved back.

Light was very confused as to this new behaviour from the detective.

"Ryuzaki, are you feeling okay? This is very strange behaviour from you."

"I don't really know Light. I just thought that you looked in pain and uncomfortable." Light knew something was wrong. Light would no longer deny that he felt a strong friendship with the detective, despite his strange habits. Light got up and sat on the bed now his hands were temporarily free. L stayed crouched on the floor. L also knew something was wrong as the second Light moved to a point behind him, his heart race increased rapidly and for some reason he was wandering if Light was looking at him. He tried to shake these thoughts off but he just couldn't.

Light was gazing at the raven haired man rather quizzically. This was all incredibly strange and he was worried for his health.

"Light I would like to ask something of you."

"Okay."

"May I?"

"Yes." He turned and sat by Light.

"I fear I am not too well. There are new feelings I have been yet to experience before in my lifetime. These feelings are misleading my deduction and judgement and I'm very confused." Light listened intently, trying to think if there's anything he could relate it to.

"Well, I can only hear of that being a crush you've got on someone." Light treated L like an old friend. L's heart stopped. What Light had said seemed to make perfect sense to L. It was as if this described it all exactly. Lights grin faded at the long silence. "Ryuzaki?"

"Oh um, yes Light?"

"Do you have a crush?"

"Yes I believe that is currently the best explanation."

"Who?"

"I don't know exactly." This was a lie and Light knew it. But he could tell this meant that L didn't want to speak about it so he left it at that.

When L was finally about to leave, he recuffed Light who instantly slumped back into his previous depressed behaviour as he didn't want to be alone and he especially didn't want L to leave. His disappointment showed in his face and without thought L gently stroked his face, pushing back a stray strand of hair that had grown rather long. He had been in here for roughly 2 and a half weeks meaning his hair was becoming scruffy and overgrown.

"Don't worry Light I will return to keep you company. And when I'm not, I'll be on the other side of that camera." He pointed upwards to the camera and Light found this comforting. When L remembered his place, he quickly pulled his hand back and hurried out. He breathed out when the first two doors had been locked and he slumped on to the ground. Did he really have a crush on Light? Could he? The world's best detective, wanted to be in a relationship with the number one suspect of the world's worst criminal. Could this be real?

Light lay on his bed trying to piece together the detectives unusual actions. It seemed L had never experienced any crushes or wanting to be with someone but why wouldn't he say who he liked. Also why did he share information on the kira case when he is the prime suspect. He also un cuffed him and him coming to visit him is a big thing. Were all of these things connected? But the thing that Light found the most peculiar, was the fact that every night he was in here he would think about the kira case. Tonight he couldn't stop thinking about L.

L also lay on his bed. Normally it would be very rare for him to sleep but he couldn't focus on his work so instead he just laid down. He was trying to figure out why he would like Light. He couldn't figure anything out and soon fell into a deep sleep where Light occupied every dream. When L woke up he was shocked at what his dreams where involving. There was no doubt that he wanted to be in a relationship with Light as the amount of times he dreamed of kissing Light. He headed down and joined the rest of the investigation team. He had a plan to try and keep him busy. If this is what he wants then he will try and pursue Light.
