The detective's troubled thoughts were broken when the doctor addressed him again after he finished (again) scolding Light.
"Make sure he eats right!"
Light groaned. "I'm doomed." Surely if he were to leave his diet in the hands of L he could add "diabetes" to his growing list of medical problems.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence," L replied with a huff of indignation but still made himself at home, crouching next to him on the hospital bed.
Light stared without thinking about it, again drinking in the other man's exotic looks-the dark locks and pale skin, the careful, almost delicate way he moved even when doing something as simple as crouching on a bed.
There's something different about him…
Light soon realized what it was. "Ryuuzaki… are you wearing socks?!"
Sure enough the nominally barefoot detective was wearing warm, fluffy, fuzzy socks that were striped a vibrant red and white like a candy cane.
L scowled. Well, it looked like he needn’t have worried so much about losing his beloved Kira bastard. Here he was already suffering the effects of The Punishment-there was no need for Light to rub it in like that!
"Is something wrong?" Light naively asked when he saw that the detective was obviously distressed.
Perhaps he was being unfair. How did he expect Light to know about his crippling phobia of socks? It was a phobia L was careful to hide ever since Watari discovered it-and was all too happy to capitalize on it when disciplining the unruly detective. Sure Light was a genius and L expected other genii to just figure everything out but then Light wasn't him and perhaps he hadn't given him enough information to make the deduction. In fact L had been careful to make sure that his Kira suspect knew very little about him-especially his fears. Though perhaps it was better this way-if Light were to make that deduction…
If he laughs, I will kick him-swear to Death Gods.
"I don't want to talk about it," the detective grumbled and Light knew he had definitely done something that was taboo to the odd customs of the odd detective.
"I'm sorry, really… I didn't mean to-Ryuuzaki I…" Light averted his gaze and murmured. "I don't understand why you'd do that for me." Light didn't want to think of the money involved, how much the operation was going to cost, let alone how much L bribed the appropriate parties to get Light's name on top of the donor list.
"Why shouldn't I do this for you? I like Light-kun very much. It would make me very sad to see him dead."
"But I could never repay you-"
"You saved my life, remember?" L pointed out. "I found it appropriate to return the favor. If it makes you feel better you can think of it as an investment."
"An investment?" Light asked, his eyes were confused and bright with not a trace of the calculating slyness that L already missed.
"Forgive me I've already discussed this with your father at great length…"
Reply
"Which brings me to my next point-Mr. Yagami… I have a favor to ask you." L had asked Light's father as the two of them loitered in front of the hospital. They watched as a patient was discharged to be reunited with their family. "I propose that Light should remain in my custody."
"But he's not… he's not a danger now!"
"That's exactly my point. Without the notebook he is a completely different person. Of course he still has the potential to become a murderer again but then so do all humans. Luckily he's buying our story for now but if he remains here he will have time to think. He'll catch on to the fact that you're treating him differently. Alas Light is just too smart for his own good. Unless we take steps he is likely to figure it all out on his own."
"But… is that such a bad thing?"
L stared at the chief blandly. "Yes that is a very bad thing. I cannot stress this enough-he must never know. Think about it-what would you do if you suddenly learned you were a mass murderer? Light as he is now, with an innocent mind-I imagine if he ever found out he will kill himself."
The sharp intake of breath from the man next to him indicated to L that he was successful in getting his point across.
"But don't worry-I have a plan."
Light's father listened with growing unease as L told him the plan.
"But… but what if he says no?"
"Then we'll just have to figure out something else. But I don't think he will."
"What if he figures out what you’re doing?!"
"Then I'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it; but for now do I have your blessing?"

"…Your father agreed to my proposal but ultimately it’s up to you…" L fidgeted uncomfortably, scant inches away Light was staring at him with an intensity that L only thought he had mastered, hanging on his every word. "When you recover…"
"…You mean if I recover. I heard the doctor. The operation is very risky-there's no need to sugarcoat it."
L flinched and Light immediately realized he had made a very poor choice of words.
"…Sorry."
"When you recover" L continued as if he had never been interrupted, "I'd like you to work for me…" Light gasped but L wasn't done "…and eventually with me as my partner."
"You're joking."
"I assure you, Light-kun, I am quite serious."
"Y-you really mean…"
"Of course, Light-kun-we complement each other quite well. You’re a very talented detective and I believe you to already be my equal. That alone would be enough to ask. Together we could solve cases at least twice as fast. Though I admit I do have a more selfish motive-I would very much like to continue with some of those socializations. I find I'm rather fond of touching you, of kissing you… I'd like to do more… But… either way the job offer still stands even if-"
"Me too," Light interjected. "I… I like touching you too. I'd love to…" the brunette said in a hushed tone, though the teen's hooded eyes spoke volumes.

Light frowned and mumbled something that sounded like "Stupid doctor. I know what I'm doing! Dammit, I'm not gaining weight! I'd sooner die!" And L determined that Light was still a bit loopy from the painkillers-L made a mental note to give Light his proposition again later just to be sure this was what Light really wanted.
L sighed. "You always go to extremes, don't you?" L said disparagingly at the teen's ranting.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Anorexia-the lengths he goes to to appear perfect... L supposed it was up to him now to show Light that he didn't have to appear perfect all the time just to be liked.
"Nothing, Light-kun. You should rest now." L said as he gently squeezed and stroked his shoulder. Light sighed contentedly and sunk down into the fluffy pillows. His body was relaxed but his mind was anything but.
How ironic. He was meant to die of a heart attack-just like Kira’s victims. When Light voiced his thoughts L was quick to assure him it had nothing to do with Kira-Kira was caught after all-and that it was just rotten luck. Light didn’t know what he’d done to deserve such rotten luck. He must have been a horrible person in a past life. Light decided that thought didn’t bare dwelling on.
Light brought himself out of his self-absorbed musing to notice that L was staring at him again.
"Hey… What’s wrong?"
"Nothing, Light-kun. I was just thinking how lucky you are."
"What do you mean Ryuuzaki?" Light asked in puzzlement when it hit him. He WAS lucky. He was alive now and thanks to L he had a chance to keep living-that was a sight more than he had before and now he had a future to fight for-and he would! He had to live; he had to survive because L was waiting for him.
But then why did L say it in such a maudlin tone?
"What's the matter, Ryuuzaki? Do you think you're not?"
L slumped further where he slouched. Dammit, how was it Light could read him so well?
He had to be very careful or living with him would present the same problem as Light living with his family. L only grunted to indicate the conversation was over but Light refused to take the hint and kept talking.
"Hey, cheer up, will you? I'm sure if you stick around me long enough and you’re sure to get lucky soon!"
"I don't know if I'd want your luck," L murmured, but brightened up considerably when the socially awkward genius finally caught on. "I'm going to get lucky, is that what you're saying?"
"Yes!"
L frowned. "The pain medication IS making you loopy."
Light blushed an adorable shade of pink as he insisted. "I meant it."
Light scowled as L ruffled his hair in a placating manner.
"Go to sleep, Light."
Light smiled and went to sleep, taking comfort in the other man's presence-yet as he closed his eyes he still couldn't shake that inexplicable feeling that he as forgetting something.
