Light has a problem- A fantasy thats been bothering him for a while. Normally, when Light wants something, he just goes out and gets it. Light wants a tv for his room? He goes out and buys one. Light wants potato chips, or books, or new pencils? He goes out and gets it.
However, unlike most teenage boys, he’s never wanted a person. Well thats still not exactly what he wants, but it’s good enough.
Light wants to bite L. Not in a gay way, obviously. When Light was a young child, he had this habit of biting his family members. Not hard enough to hurt, just a soft bite to show his affection. He quickly grew out of it, but it always stayed in the back of his mind whenever he wanted to be affectionate towards his Mom or Sayu.
Now, the back of his mind feeling had become what felt like an angry itch that needed to be scratched. L was annoying, yes. L was constantly accusing him of being Kira, yes. But he was also his friend. The closest friend Light had ever had.
He was the only one who could keep up with Light, and even surpass him sometimes. He was also, in the most platonic way possible, very adorable. Ls big black eyes and eyebags gave him the look of a cute panda, and his habit of hunching over made him appear small and delicate. And there in lied the problem: Light was fonder with L than with any other person, leading to the insatiable urge to show affection in the most childish and pure form he knew.
At first, he tried to ignore the urge and push it down, but after a productivity drop so high that Matsuda got more work done than he did, Light decided to figure out a way for him to bite L.
At first, he thought about purposely starting a fight with L and biting him then, but he quickly dismissed it. Even if he bit lightly, L might bite back in a way that would actually hurt. “An eye for an eye.” He would say. It could also be seen as playing dirty by the taskforce, which he didn’t want either. Too risky overall.
Light racked his brain, trying to come up with a plan to make it so he could bite L and have it be completely normal, when a sudden thought dawned upon him.What if I just… did itLight sat back, mulling it over.
L was a weird guy, with even weirder standards and personal boundaries. He didn’t seem to have any problems being fully naked around Light when they showered or changed, and while he wasn’t physically affectionate at all, the times when Light did touch him he didn’t seem to mind. Considering all this, would L really care if Light bit him in a friendly, platonic way to show affection?
It might even lower his Kira percentage! Kira thought of himself as a god, and so would never debase himself as to show affection for his greatest enemy. Light grinned internally. Now he had a plan- he could bite L and then his annoying urge would go away and his likely hood over being Kira would decrease!
Later, as he and L were getting ready for bed, Light enacted his plan. Light had just finished changing into his pajamas (L is a freak who sleeps in jeans, so he was just waiting around), when he started towards L with purpose.
“Light? What are you-“ L said as Light grabbed his arm and rolled his sleeve down slightly, just so Ls wrist was exposed.
“Don’t take this the wrong way, Ryuzaki…” Light mumbled, before opening his mouth and closing it around Ls wrist, and digging his teeth in just slightly. Lights heart was beating imperceptibly faster and his face was slowly warming. L stilled, looking straight at Light with his large bug-like eyes. He looked confused… but didn’t seem to mind?
Light broke eye contact, letting go of Ls wrist and rolling his sleeve back up.
That was… unusual. L thought. Is this how Kira kills? No… thats impossible. What was Light trying to do? L continued overthinking as Light wiped his mouth.
