Three - Welcome

{L's POV}

I sat awake as usual. Hugging my knees to my chest and nibbling on my thumb. I looked at the clock. My ticking time bomb. 06:23.

I'll have to go to school soon. At least I get to see Light. Maybe he'll talk to me. I emerged from my position and walked to my bedroom door. Opening it slowly and quietly walking down my empty hall. I'm unsure why I went about my business so quietly considering I live alone.

Getting ready and leaving my not-so-humble abode I walked to school. The rain pouring down on me mercilessly.

{Lights POV}

On my way to school I saw a hunched figure, soaking wet and shivering slightly. Speeding up a bit I stopped him and asked him "L what are you doing out here without a coat you'll freeze to death!"

"Sorry Light, I just don't have a coat." L apologised. I reached into my bag and pulled out a hoody I kept in there. "Here wear this, wouldn't want you to catch your death." I smiled at him and his face changed for once. I saw the corners of his mouth slightly twitch upwards and his eyes soften. He was smiling.

"Thank you Light." L said and hugged the hoody around himself. I found the gesture cute. It took all my strength to not reach out and hold his hand...

{L's POV}

I absorbed Lights scent. He smelled divine and I never wanted to leave this hoody. It was warm and welcoming, like him. I wanted to kiss him that very moment but refrained of course. As I had since that day...

"Hey leave him alone!" Light shouted at the boy pushing me over. My eyes shone as I watched him fight them off. "Don't hurt him!" He exclaimed and walked away. I muttered a thankyou but he never heard it.

"S'wrong fag? That your boyfriend?" He sneered. I scowled and shook my head frantically. "Aw lawlipops gotta crush?!" The boy teased. I winced at the name. Lawlipops. No one ever called me by my full name let alone made a nickname of it.

"L? We're at school now." Light sung, his voice like 100 Angels. I nodded and walked to gym with him knowing we shared the same class.

In the changing rooms I shuffled into a corner trying to hide from all the boys but Light followed me. He acted normal and started undressing I blushed a crimson red and looked away.

"L you okay?" Light asked as he pulled his gym shirt on.

"Y-yes I'm f-fine." I stuttered and blushed even harder. I finally summed up the courage to change and I felt eyes burning into the back of my head. Was he starring? He was! He was starring at me! I felt insecure and started sweating profusely. Of course!

"L will you be my partner?" Light asked and I stopped breathing. "Oh light I've liked you for so long I was waiting for th-" he stopped me.

"P-partner in gym L!" Light hissed as if he was trying to keep a secret. "Oh of course. S-sorry light!" I hid my face in embarrassment as Light pretended nothing had happened.

{Lights POV}

Well that's one way to get someone to confess their feelings. I needed to hide the fact I was gay otherwise I wouldn't get through senior year as easy as I hoped. So I kind of scolded L and afterwards he wouldn't look at me. Out of sheer embarrassment I suppose.

"Sorry L I didn't mean to come out as mean." I started and he stopped me. "No light I understand you wouldn't want to be thought of like that let alone with me."

But I did want to be with him.

"I- I umm did want to be with y-you just not p-public ya know?" I couldn't believe my ears. What had I just said?!
