Motivation || Lawlight (finished? abandoned?)

CHAPTER 7

There were security cameras everywhere. And they were always on and monitored. There was one that went into the bathroom from the main room and it'd watch you on the toilet if you didn't close the door.

That was why when I walked out and Watari saw me half-naked, it wasn't the biggest deal. "Hello Light. It's not that I don't trust you, I just have to... keep an eye on you while your with Ryuzaki." That's kinda awkward. He said he trusts me, but still has to keep an eye on me? He probably saw L kiss me-

It doesn't matter. What if the kiss was part of L's plan? I... probably deserve it. The fact is wasn't genuine, that is. I go to the other side of the room, check Watari isn't looking at me and put some underwear on. Now L is walking out. I stop myself from looking at him and stare down at the corner.

 He needs clothes from the closet I'm standing next to. His nude body is so close to me, and I grab him the first thing I see. As I turn my head, his arched back is merely moments from bumping into me. I turn back around and straighten up, my hand waving with whatever is in my hand around. His cold fingers brush mine momentarily.

I put on my tie and do up my shoelaces, and when I turn. L is wearing. A maid dress. My hand flies to my mouth, "I- I am so sorry, I just-" and he interrupts me with,
"I like it." A smirk rises in his mouth as he swings his hips from side to side. This has to be planned. "Seductive?" He laughs. I can't tell if it's genuine.

"Do... do you want other clothes-" I stutter. I swear at myself in my head. He shakes his head, 
"Now that we've caught Kira the task force has disbanded. That means my reputation can't be destroyed." We both laugh and my mind wonders... What 'small' cases could we figure out? Today is Friday so if we're lucky and do enough work, we might get tomorrow off! 

I don't want to do anything too sudden, especially since Watari probably would kill me on the spot if I did. Instead I smile and hold out my hand. He grabs it. We squeeze each others hand. His is cold, and I don't know what temperature mine is. Hopefully nice to L. My hand and heart tickle, and he's looking at me. Not judgmentally, just in awe. I imagine him thinking 'wow'.

With that, we walk each other down the stairs. He sits in his usual position on the chair, but it's odd when he's wearing a skirt. I decide not to comment on it. "My god. You're adorable." I say. He's... L. There's no one like him. "Thanks. That's the goal, now that there's someone I can actually impress." He sounds a little monotone, but he's genuine. I must have pulled him out of a depression.

I shouldn't take all the credit- getting to catch Kira, having everyone leave. There were multiple things that made him feel better. Maybe he was sad now that the 'fun' was over. I know deaths should be taken seriously but in the original Kira's eyes, the criminals killed weren't as important as anyone else.

Watari gives me and L an energy drink each. I can't believe they survive on sugar and caffeine, I have three or so a in a day and feel a similar feeling to being hungover hours later. I don't protest, and take a sip of it in unison with my little crush.
