“C’mon Light! You have to! Everyone else is playing you gotta!”
“No Misa, that game is stupid and pointless, I don’t understand why you want me to play it.”
“C’mon Light,” Matsuda called out. “It's a task force bonding game! What's the worst that could happen?”
Light scrunched his face. “I don’t see the point of this.”
Despite what he said he reluctantly sat down next to Misa as she was cuddling his arm.
“Alright then. 7 MINUTES IN HEAVEN IS ON!”
“Stop trying to sound young. You’re 30,” Aizawa said.
Matsuda rubbed the back of his head and nervously chuckled. “Right.”
“Wait Misa, may I sit next to Light?”
Misa thought for a moment. If she sat across from Light then it would give her a better chance of being in the closet with him.
“I guess so, Ryuzaki.”
They switched places.
Matsuda grinned stupidly. He was way too excited for this. He spinned the bottle.
And it lands on….
Aizawa!!
Aizawa scoffed. “Seriously, me?”
“You agreed to this Aizawa!” Matsuda smiled cheekly.
He spinned the bottle again.
And it lands on…
Matsuda!
Light laughed. “Thats what you get for making me play this game, Matsuda.”
Him and Aizawa blushed profusely.
“Well into the closet you go!” Misa then shoved them into the closet. As she was closing the door she whispered, “have fun..” With a devilish grin on her face.
“Serves them right…” Light muttered.
They waited the 7 minutes in pure silence. They heard some shuffling of clothes and kissy noises and “shhs” and giggles.
They could imagine what was going on.
Light felt disgusted. Aizawa making out with Matsuda? Or worse?
Gross.
But he definitely knew they had the hots for each other. There was no denying that.
The timer went off and Misa hurried off to unlock the closet.
“Ohhhkayy guys! How was it?”
Aizawa stumbled out of the closet and ignored Misa. Light noticed that Matsuda’s tie was a little wonky and it looked like it was pulled or something.
“Was Aizawa a good kisser?” Light snickered.
In response Aizawa shoved him.
“This isn’t funny.”
“Okay, okay. Sit down guys!”
Misa spinned the bottle this time.
And it lands on…
Light!
“Ew!” He shrieked.
Misa spun it again feeling hopeful.
PleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePlease land on me!!
And it lands on…
On…
L!!
Wait. L…?
L??!
As in, Ryuzaki, L?!
The L sitting right next to Light, while their thighs were touching because of how cramped they were.
That, L??!!
Oh nononononono!!!
No way Light would kiss him.
…Or other things..
“WHAT?! L?!”
“What's wrong Light?” Ryuzaki said calmly. “I know I rarely wear shoes but I promise I'm hygienic.”
Light rolled his eyes. “Thats not what I was worried about.”
Misa pouted. Seriously?! Light and Ryuzaki?! Everyone knew Light loved Misa. Only.
Plus Ryuzaki and Light were enemies. He was always suspecting her lover of being Kira. Light would never be Kira!!
“I agree. Light and Ryuzaki would be a horrible fit.”
Matsuda stood up quickly. “Too bad, now you two. Closet. Now.”
Light reluctantly stood up and walked into the closet with L.
He couldn’t believe he was doing this…
Matsuda locked them into the closet, winking.
Nononononononono!!!!!
They were close. Too close.
L’s leg was on top of Light’s for lack of space, and his head was slightly leaning on Light’s shoulder. He should practically crawl into his lap at this point!
Light was panicking. Everyone knew that he was a closeted gay (except Misa) and it was quite ironic how he was in a closet himself.
And he was so obviously inlove with L it was funny.
His face was profusely red he almost outshined Misa with all that makeup she had going on.
L heard some distinct chatter from the other room. It sounded like Misa and others arguing so he thought it was a good time to talk.
“Light…”
“Shut up L, I'm panicking right now.”
“Why are you so against going in the closet with me? Y’know you aren’t very good at hiding your romantic attraction for m—“
“Shut it L.”
Awkward silence. Light was in a closet alone with his CRUSH!!!!
And their legs were basically kissing!!!
“Light, I'm sorry for having my legs on top of yours. I'm sure that makes you uncomfortable.”
“It sure does. Thanks for noticing L.”
“Anytime. But it’s because there's so little space…”
Pause.
“You know Light… I’d prefer if you sat on my lap.”
Light snapped his head to L. His face was so red it could be their light source at this point.
“WHAT??!!!”
“Well because it’d make up for the lack of space.”
Light sighed. “Oh yes, yes. Of course. That makes perfect sense. You are #1 detective for a reason.”
“And #2, and #3.”
Light gritted his teeth. “Thanks for sharing…”
He reluctantly (excitedly) climbed into Ryuzaki’s lap.
“What a good boy you are, Light…”
Light was seriously going to have a heart attack. He wondered if Misa found out he hated her guts so she wrote his name in the death note as revenge.
“What the fuck is your problem.”
He patted Light’s head. “You kind of look like a puppy Light…”
“What the FUCK is your problem.”
As if he minded. He was enjoying every second of this.
“Light, I'm sure our 7 minutes are running out quickly, so I am not going to beat around the bush.”
“What?” Light spat out. He was just sour that L stopped patting his head and calling him a good boy.
For someone with a god complex he sure liked getting reduced down to a dog.
“I know your feelings towards me and I reciprocate.”
“WHAT?!” Light screeched. By instinct he buried his face into the crook of L’s neck.
He realized what he was doing, but it was too late.
“I, actually everyone, apart from Misa, are well aware of your romantic attraction towards me. And I feel the same way.”
What…?
L was
inlove?
with….
Light??!
“W-what..?” He whispered. This was not happening.
L didn’t respond but grabbed Light’s face and pulled him towards his own face.
Their noses grazed.
They didn’t say a word. The only audible thing was the bickering in the other room and their heavy breathing.
“Light..”
Light stared at the other man, eyes wide and mouth agape.
Without warning he pressed his lips to L’s.
L’s eyes widened but he kissed him back and shut his eyes.
They pulled away.
Silence.
“L, I…”
“Light!” Misa called out. “Your time is up! Let me fetch you!”
“..fuck” he muttered under his breath.
Light got out of the closet alongside L. The harsh fluorescent light of the office blinded Light.
He scrunched up his face and sat down with the rest of the group.
Maybe this game wasn’t as pointless as he thought.
