“It’s…my girlfriend.” Light muttered beneath his breath, a visible sign of irritation forming between his brows the moment he saw your name pop up on his screen.
Light—to popular speculation actually does love you, dotes on you from time to time, and overall appreciates the efforts you put into the relationship you both share, but in that moment? Where L had seemed to be more annoying than usual? He was at his wit’s end.
And you only added fuel to the fire.
“Girlfriend?” L murmured, knees to his chest with the tip of his thumb to his lip—the only one sitting the most abnormally compared to the rest of the task force seated in headquarters.
“Huh…I didn’t think you’d have one, Light. Perhaps we should put her on the phone?”
Would his percentage of being kira multiply if he said no? Would L question him? Corner him while he was this easily irritable—vulnerable?
“Unless you have something to hide?” L smiled ever so slightly, that unsettling twist of his lips just plain creepy.
With a simple tap against the bright green button on his phone, your voice rang out, catching the attention of almost—if not all the members of the task force. At least Mogi, Ide, and Aizawa had the decency of pretending not to listen—Matsuda, clueless as he is blankly stared like a child. The moron…
“Light!” The sound of you was equally heart-warming and bothersome, your cheery, bright tone causing a few eyes to widen. Who knew Light’s girlfriend would be so…chipper? A complete contrast to him. It was like a kitten dating a tiger.
“Hey, I’m working right now…I don’t have much time to talk. It’s best if we call later alright—“
“But you’re always busy with work nowadays.” You pouted through the screen, a small yet noticeable change in your voice. He could only take—only do so much with others listening in on him. Perhaps if you were alone the call would’ve gone a different direction…
“I miss you, Light. It seems like you’re so much more interested in work than you are with me.” You sighed, waiting for a reply just to be shut down with silence.
“I’m here…sweetheart, but as I said I’m busy—“
“So busy you can’t even kiss me goodbye anymore!?”
Light’s eyes shut harshly, internally cursing you—and L, who was currently staring holes into his back as well as the rest of the task force who inevitably couldn’t help themselves. It was human nature.
“See? Speechless!” you huffed, sitting up in your bed, the sound of your body shifting against the soft sheets sending a small ripple of aggravation and desire through his spine. You were unknowingly killing him.
“I miss your lips, Light. Your sweet words…you don’t say anything nice like you used to..” You whispered, letting out another sound of exasperation.
“I…I love you. I do, and I’m sorry for the way I’ve been acting…baby…and how the kira case has consumed our relationship. I’ll make it up to you soon, okay? Wherever you wanna go I’ll take you.” Light could only take so much, and your weak, fragile voice was the last thing it took to knock him down. He was a man of course, it was his biology.
“Really?!” The sound of the newfound excitement radiating from you made his shoulders relax, the others in the room disappearing temporarily. It was just you and him.
“You’ll be home on time tonight too right?”
“I’ll…see what I can do.”
“Yay!! I love yousooomuch, Light! I’ll see you soon, okay?—Hey, wait—take your time today actually! Maybe I’ll have time to make you something before you get home!” You giggled, smiling as you popped up from bed, already making your way to the kitchen.
“I love you too. I’ll see you soon.”
“Mmwaah!” You sent an air kiss before hanging up the phone, happily skipping across the tiled floor. Now it’s time to think about where you want him to take you!
Light turned around, shoving his phone back into his pocket—his eyes looking over everyone. All their eyes on him.
“So sentimental.” Ryuk chuckled darkly beside him, that same expression of annoyance gracing Light’s features once again.
“Your girlfriend sure does sound sweet, Light!” Matsuda smiled, the carefree look on his face pushing Light to not even bother and say something to him. What an idiot…
“Yes, Light. What a caring partner you have, and…how emotional you are. I assumed you would’ve been more stoic and logical.”
“Ah, you saw through that didn’t you?” L deadpanned, a tiny trace of a smirk on his lips.
“Just forget this. It’s irrelevant now.” Light replied, “as you can see this was just an innocent conversation with my girlfriend, nothing more nothing less. May we move on to more important matters?”
“Hm, of course.” L mumbled, turning back around in his chair.
“What was that, Ryuzaki?”
