{Light's POV}
My eyes burst open when I woke up that very morning. There had been a rather abrupt crash from across the hall that had dragged me out of my blissful oblivion and I tried to move to get up but found that it was merely impossible.

There was a heavy weight on my chest and a leg wrapped around mine to prevent any movement. I looked down and sure enough there was L, lying in an awkward arrangement across my body, with his thumb in his mouth.

I stared at him like that for a while, noticing the glistening innocence that lay within him. Untouched, unloved; mine.

The feeling of his leg wrapped around mine like a vine made me very aware of myself. I could feel his body lifting slowly as he breathed in, a pause and then he slowly breathed out. He didn't stir and I lay there staring and dreaming of him for almost half an hour until he did.

I didn't notice until then that L had always claimed to have a rather severe form of insomnia, so I began to find it pretty peculiar to say the least that he was asleep in the first place.

"L?" I whispered in his ear which was conveniently close to my mouth.

He hummed in response.

"Why are you asleep you pretty much never sleep." I said and he lifted his head, his long black hair was even more messy then usual and he had to squint to see me.

"I was tired and you were here to protect me." He stated monotonously, as if he'd never heard a more ridiculous question.

Then he put his head back down and closed his wide tired eyes shut and that's how we stayed for near 6 hours. Him sleeping and dreaming and me watching and trying to resist temptation.
