He snuck back into the room as quiet as he could, making sure not to make any noise that would alert the sleeping man.
Clearly, it was of no use, as the man was already awake.
"L." Light started, a hint of annoyance in his voice as he stated at the man before him. "Come back to bed."
It was precisely 2:19 in the morning. Light has awoken due to L's eating habits, and he is not pleased.
"I have better things to do." L countered, grabbing another bite of the strawberry shortcake. "I must always stay alert in case something happens."
"Put that cake back into the fridge and come back to sleep." Light repeats, voice groggy from waking up so early due to his husband's eating habits.
It wasn't the first time, obviously, it has happened a bunch of times before. And it's been pissing Light off more and more.
"Lawliet." The sound of his name makes him raise an eyebrow. Light usually doesn't use his last name unless he's in trouble. Perhaps he finally ticked him off?
"You see, I've got to eat to keep my brain functioning at all times," L started, "and what better to eat than sweets?" He took another bite of the cake.
"Lawliet, I swear to everything, if you don't put that back and go back to bed I will personally send you to the 9th ring of hell."
"Threatening me? Hmm, that's low, even for you." L took another bite of the cake, relishing in it's taste.
A hand suddenly grabbed his, and started pulling him back downstairs towards the kitchen he just came back from. He instinctively grabbed it back. A low groan escaped his throat.
"Light, this is highly unethical." He protested, albeit it was of no use as the plate was snatched from his other hand. His mouth landed in a pout as Light took away his food.
"I'll show you unethical." Light grabbed the strawberry(which he knew was L's favourite part. damn him.) and put it in his mouth, chewing it down.
L stared at his man, now slightly annoyed. "If you think that's unethical, you might need to-" Soft lips pressed against his in a rough kiss. He could feel the chewed contents of the strawberry being passed into his mouth, before the kiss broke.
Usually, he would already have replied with a comeback, words or an action.
This was not usually.
This time, he could simply stare at Light in shock as his brain processed what just happened.
He put his thumb against his lip, thinking about what Light did. "I guess I was wrong."
L's whole personality shifted to a silent, unmoving one. Light just put the remainder of the cake in the fridge. Truly, he was a magnificent sight to look at, his face illuminated by the dim fridge light.
The grabbing of his hand seemed to pull L out of the trance-like state he was in as he was dragged back into the bedroom. His voice returned, although quieter. "We should do that again."
Light didn't even spare him a glance. He just replied with a quick nope. Perhaps sometime in the future, then.
