Death Gods Only Eat Apples

[nokotchi]

Light nodded, a fake smile creeping over his face. "Yeah..." he said quietly, as if in a daze.

 

[.chasm.]

L turned his head to stare at Light again, chewing his thumb. "So you won't bee as shy?" He glanced over at Sakura, still chewing his thumb.

 

[nokotchi]

Light nodded. "Yeah.... I miss her a whole lot...."

Sakura had resumed spinning around in her chair like a child.

 

[.chasm.]

L stared at Light for a while, then turned back to Sakura. "Have we heard anything back yet?" He shook his hand, unwrapping the chain from around his arm and untangling it

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura had her knees tucked to her chest and was still spinning. It took her a moment to realize L was speaking to her. She then snatched the edge of the desk to stop herself from spinning. She hit a button on her keyboard, looking at the screen. "Nope, nothing.."

Light sat back in his chair, rubbing his eyes.

 

[.chasm.]

"Okay," L said with a small nod, dropping his hand from his mouth and picking up his fork. "Did she say a specific time?" He stared at Sakura, scooping up some cake.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura resumed her spinning, just for the hell of it. She shook her head in response to L's question. "She'll respond sometime tomorrow, I believe."

Light leaned back and closed his eyes, hoping to get more sleep.

 

[.chasm.]

L reached out and placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder to stop her spinning, lifting the fork to his mouth with the other. "So we have nothing to go on until tomorrow?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura brought her knees down and she looked at L. "Absolutely nothing."

Light fell asleep, also hoping to not be disturbed anymore that night.

 

[.chasm.]

L looked up at the screens quickly, dropping his fork on the table again. "So we definitely don't have anything to do on the case until then."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura shook her head. "We don't have anything at all."

 

[.chasm.]

"Oh..." L tilted his head. "Does that mean we can..." He glanced behind at Light, lifting his hand to his mouth

 

[nokotchi]

"Well, it looks like Light's asleep..." she muttered, glancing at L. She slid her chair over to L's. "So, we can... We just have to be careful to not wake him up."

 

[.chasm.]

L nodded, keeping the chained arm behind him again as heleaned in towards Sakura.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura also leaned in, meeting L halfway in a light kiss.

 

[.chasm.]

L lifted his hand and placed it on Sakura's shoulder again, tilting his head slightly

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura snaked her arms around L's neck, deepening the kiss.

 

[.chasm.]

L dropped his hand from Sakura's shoulder and, still not caring about waking Light up, wrapped both his hands around her waist.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura deepened the kiss slightly more, pulling L close to her.

Light awoke when he was tugged forward once more. He shook his head. I swear, they're like velcro... He closed his eyes, attempting to sleep once more.

 

[.chasm.]

L tilted his head to look at Light, his chained hand hanging beside him. "Are you okay, Light? You look tired."
