Motivation || Lawlight (finished? abandoned?)

CHAPTER 14

I wake up from darkness to a bright light and a nurses face. Am I being reborn? Ryuk said that anyone who uses the Death Note goes to MU, and he also said that once someone dies, that's it. They're dead. Something's wrong here... Either Ryuk was lying, or I didn't die. If I didn't die, that means it wasn't another Kira that killed me. I've tested- if you're killed by the Death Note, you can't be resuscitated. 

Well, no matter what I'm here and I'm alive. Can't say I'm thankful, but... but what? No one will be proud of me for what I did on TV. My mind wonders to who got the notebook, and how? Did someone at the prison steal it, or did it get lost coming back here? Maybe there's another Death Note. That's not impossible- after all, the Shinigami's do seem a little bored lately. 

"Sir, I'm afraid we will have to keep you in for further check-ups, but you will be moved to a different ward." Oh woooww. Yippee, different ward... I hope L knows about this. I mean of course he does, he knows everything... I can't think straight. I could never think *straight*, but I'm not completely aware of what's happening. (Just like the author)

After not that long, I'm released. With no car, L picks me up, "Home or work?" He asks grumpily. I shouldn't go to work, my family is probably worried. If they believe I'm Kira, that is. What if it was just a mind trick all along? I'll just... "Home please." L thinks, and then whispers something to Watari before shooting me a cheeky smile. What has he done?

L sits back down and I yawn. He doesn't yawn back, but gestures for me to lay down on his lap... "But my house is-" I begin to protest, but quickly stop when he starts rubbing my scalp. It tingles with the cold of his fingers, and the heat of the massage. He slowly makes me fall asleep.

Safe... in his arms... I snore a little. "Light." I here a small whisper. "Ligghhhtt, inside time." I yawn and stretch, cracking my knuckles. The lovely laughs. (sorry if this is bad I haven't slept in two days) "We-we're not at my house yet, silly..." I mutter, blinking my eyes. 
"No." L explains, "We're at my house."

So he brought me to his house, huh? "How long will I be staying with you?" I ask,
"Long as you want. I have you a spare pair of khakis and a white button up." Wow, he must want me to stay if he went to this much effort so I felt welcome. I wonder if he bought this himself... It doesn't really matter.

"Uh uh-" I stutter, "Thanks for letting me stay. You must have guessed how hard it would be to confront Mum and Sayu after you-know." He nods, and we go to shower. I put my clean clothes on the table outside the bath, and start getting unchanged.

L just stares. "Aren't you getting in with me?" I say, half jokingly. He shrugs- not very talkative person. I'm in, and the warm water softens my rough skin. It feels good. My spine shivers, making me turn my head to look at L. He's so... pretty.
