Motivation || Lawlight (finished? abandoned?)

CHAPTER 6

I admitted to being Kira, the worst serial killer in the world, and they... free me? I walk out when Matsuda opens the door for me, looking at me with a disappointed look. He leads me to where the others are. "So," I sigh, "What now?" I look around at everyone before locking eyes with L. If I really did want to harm anybody, I'd be laughing like a madman right now. But I don't. "We do have more cases, but only simple ones, like robberies or hostages." L explains looking me in the eyes. 

"You know, I could get lost in those eyes forever..." I whisper. My friend jumps back,
"What did you just say?" he says, going red. "I'm gonna go-" He says, pointing to the door. I follow him to our room- since we used to be chained up we only have one room. "What are you talking about." he looks me up and down. I laugh at a joke inside my head. I'm not the same guy I was before all this happened at all, am I? Of course not. I can't believe I said that.

"Hey L. Spell my name backwards- that's what I am for you." I open my mouth and my face burns. I scream into my pillow. "Thgil? What's- OHHHH Iamagay Thigl! I-AM-A-GAY!" He exclaims. He's so cute when he does that. "You're a gay too? I mean Misa has asked you before, but-" He blushes. I've never seen him do that before.

Not long after we both have our faces covered by pillows, joking around with each other. This is so unlike him. I'm still blushing, but I'm staring at him. "Your so cute Lulu." His eyebrows (well, eyebrow muscles) raise to the roof, "WHAT did you just call me!" he yells. All in playful fun. 
"Little Lulu! What else should I call you, L?" L sounds like a weird name. Not that it's bad, just something else. "imeaniguessyoucouldcallmelulu." he mumbles.

The next morning, I wake up next to him. My mind is foggy, I must have been really tired. I still can't believe they just let me out. I wanna say 'it says something about the state of todays society' but I'm just happy L trusts me. I mean, he's sleeping next to me. He NEVER sleeps, not even... ever. Let alone next to anyone.

I hop into the shower, in a mini bathroom next to the  bedroom. The cool water dances on my pale, yet still more tanned than L's, skin. I lather my body with soap and rinse it off and just as I'm about to get out, I see little lulu at the door watching me. "Creep!" I laugh. He just gives me a smile.

"Did you know that when a person blushes, their stomach blushes too? That's what butterflies are." He explains. Interesting, just like everything he says.
"Do you know from experience?" I ask him, giving a smile back. I know he saw me blush just then, but he probably knew the fact beforehand anyway.

I walk to the door and put a towel on my waist. I stare into his eyes, and then at his tiny little nose. My gaze falls to his lips. He must notice me, because he leans forward and gives me a small kiss on the forehead. I can't move, my cheeks are red in the mirror. He- L- the greatest detective in the world- just kissed me? Me, the most notorious serial killer this decade.
