Ryuzaki awoke afew hours later the sky just starting to lighten yet the sun hadn't yet rose over the horizon. He felt a sleepy yawn escape him and he looked to his right to see Light sleeping in covered blankets soundly as ever. It sort of aggravated him that while he was losing sleep over this whole investigation that the prime suspect would be laying right next to him sound as a sleeping child. He sighed and reached under his bed and pulled out the making friends book he'd ordered the other day and quietly turned on his reading lamp to get in some reading before Light woke up. He came to his book marker and stared at the chapter named "Love."

A word he still didn't really understand amongst most people because personally he didn't really have much room for a love life let alone the social life to instigate any sort of romantic encounters. He wasn't even sure if he would really feel the option to love someone in the way it described in the book. There was too many illogical stand points on the matter and it seemed that to the best of his judgment it would just be another thing in life he would pass over due to his lack of understanding of social customs. He found it curious that the common interest on the subject was one always pursued by Light Yagami always seeming, from the times that he put him under watch till him being chained to him at this very moment, to have a girl around him going out on dates. He didn't know how this was related to the case or let alone why he was racking his brain with the troubles of love when he could be trying to solve the case at hand. Yet it still pried at his brain as he paged through the chapter seeing how friends could become greater friends and eventually love one another. He'd never had anything close to a matter of a girlfriend let alone a best friend but he could feel something from Light that told him that they could be best friends, closer friends. He smiled despite himself at the thought of gaining a friend that was close to his age as well as someone who was able to match wits with him. He gazed over the book and felt a slight tug on the chain as Light awoke rubbing his eyes to which he quickly stored the book under the bed before he can see anything.

Light yawned a sleepy good morning and sat himself up so his back was resting against the head board of the bed stretching his neck," What was that you were reading Ryuzaki good book?"

"Uhh yeah," he smiled brightly in a cheery response feeling his cheek bones ache slightly," I woke up early this morning so I figured I'd get some light reading done."

Light would smile again stretching his arms in front of him intertwining his fingers so they would make a variety of popping noises," I always love a good book could I borrow it when you're done with it?"

He felt the rhythm of his heart fluctuate slightly but in no way let it affect his facial expressions or speech," Sure if you really want to," he said in a non-chalaunt way. He yawned covering his mouth moving over to Light's side of the bed to hoist his legs over the side staring at the floor for a moment thinking how he would go over the idea he had in his mind for today.

Light scooted over to make room for Ryuzaki to scoot over and sit on the side of the bed," So what's on the agenda today just research and the usual examination of evidence we have on Kira?"

He didn't really hear Light due to him thinking just how he may react to the suggestion of a day off from research to just go out for some coffee and not worry about something for once. Plus the book said to go out for coffee or lunch if you want to get closer to your friend right? All this was going through his head and he felt Light's hand nudge his shoulder.

"Hey Ryuzaki you okay?" Something seemed off about Ryuzaki this morning he was beginning to think he may have been up all night reading that book whatever kind it had been. It intrigued him to figure out what sort of book he could be reading considering he'd only seen him read what was on his monitor. He decided to shrug it off as nothing that it was just some light reading and hopped off the bed," I call bathroom first," he said smiling tugging on the hand cuffs.

They would both walk over to the bathroom but only Light would enter as the cuffs were long enough and the bathroom was small enough for him to use it but still have him cuffed through the door. It was almost like an airplane bathroom specifically made for the both of them so they could still be cuffed together even if the need to use the bathroom arose. L sat on the floor with his back to the wall and his knees up to his chest as he gnawed at his thumb again thinking of the proper way to ask him. Upon hearing the soft rushing sound of the toilet he'd stand quickly, the book said to be up front and straight forward right? He stared at the door intently but in a twist Light ended up opening to door too quickly smacking him in the fore head sending him falling back wards taking Light with him. The two crashed to the floor with a loud thud one sprawled on top of the other in an awkward position. Ryuzaki groaned and rubbed the back of the head opening his eyes nearly bonking Light in the head because he was so close to him. He would blush slightly as light rolled off of him and they both stood patting themselves off.

"Sorry about that Ryuzaki didn't mean to hit you with the door. Are you okay," Light would ask lightly snickering.

He would simply nod, "Yeah I'll be fine...." He would pause for a moment still feeling the slight humming sound in his head from the collision feeling his heart going faster than usual, but he figured it was just adrenaline rush." Light would you maybe want to take the day off and just go out for some coffee or something?"

"I don't know Ryuzaki wouldn't it be a little risky going out in the open again especially like this." He would raise his arm motioning at the cuffs.

He hadn't thought of that but he saw no reason why they couldn't just enjoy some time off here in their room," Then would some time off in our room help order some coffee and cake up and if it comes up we could talk about the case?"

He would notice Light mulling the idea over in his head and nod," Sure I guess taking some time to just take a day of rest is important I got to admit this thing was giving me a headache it'll be nice to have some time to not worry on it."

He smiled slightly not wanting his facial expressions to give to much away he'd gnaw at his thumb again," So why not have a seat I'll call up the coffee and cake."

A few minutes passed as they sat on either side of the coffee table when Matsuda came in pushing a cart," Here guys room service just brought this up."

The cart was not only carrying the coffee and cake, but it also held many other different snacks and pastries to snack on which made Ryuzaki's mouth water.

"Thanks Matsuda," Light would say in a cheery voice as he left the room.

He reached excitedly for the coffee pouring himself a cup and also poured another one for Light putting the pot down and reached for the sugar cubes stacking them in a neat little stack.

"Oh sorry," He'd motion the bowl of sugar cubes towards Light, "Sugar?"

He would smile and kindly oblige taking a few sugar cubes and plopping them into his coffee stirring it and adding a small amount of cream. Ryuzaki would be stacking his sugar cubes periodically in a tower until they fell over and into the cup which he would stir as well. Although, it would come to pass he would completely ignore the coffee and head straight to the cake slicing a piece for Light and then himself," So tell me Light what's your life outside of the task force and school? Aside from you being an amazing tennis player what else did you do?" That's right ask a question about his personal life eager to learn more about his new friend although keeping his emotions underneath a mask. The book said learning more about your friends personal life helps tighten their friendship and take it to a new "level." The way he figured it if he and Light were to be together on this case for a long time he wanted to be as good as friends as possible and know as much as he could. He felt bad despite himself feeling as if he were befriending him for the wrong reasons but he could feel the connection and desire for friendship for once a feeling he hadn't yet felt before until now.

Light would smile taking a sip of his coffee," There's not much to tell outside of school really I mean that's pretty much all I did study to get into a good college and aside from me playing tennis..." He would sigh and end up laughing despite himself feeling silly that all he had to offer in the way of his outside activities was the only thing Ryuzaki already knew about him.

"Sorry there really isn't much to tell my life must seem pretty boring compared to yours being such a well viewed detective and all," Light would say chuckling feeling a sense of envy towards Ryuzaki having for having such a reputation as a detective already.

A crooked smile swept across his face," Yes but what a reputation brings it also means I need to be in a secure place so what I excel at through my field I loose in socializing. It's why I was curious about your life outside of school because I really didn't have much a chance to go out and make many friends."

"Oh sorry to hear that," he rubbed the back of his head nervously feeling kind of bad.

"Hey what's with that look?" Ryuzaki would tilt his head trying to get a read on Light's expression although he could feel an odd tension in the air and wanted to change the subject. He smiled and turned around reaching in the cupboard behind him and pulled out a chessboard.

"Do you play chess?" he'd ask curiously.

A slight grin would wash over Light's face as he'd look back into Ryuzaki's eyes," I haven't had a chance to play chess in a long time sounds like fun."

They would both set up their pieces Ryuzaki choosing the black pieces and Light choosing the white ones.

"White goes first," he would gesture back to Light eager to see his skills. The game would be an interesting one both making their own impressive moves and their own mistakes. The game would eventually end with Ryuzaki as the victor grinning as he'd enjoy a piece of victory cake. "Better luck next time Light," Ryuzaki would laugh as he'd sip his coffee. Light would extend his hand and they'd both shake in an effort of good sportsmanship.

"I'll kick your butt next time," Light would say gripping at Ryuzaki's tightly," You got me off of my game next time your pieces shall be mine."

"We shall defiantly see," Ryuzaki would reply fascinated with the way his friendship with Light was progressing. He would wager a guess that they were becoming more like rivals than friends, although what's friendship without some form of rivalry right? He'd read in his book that friends often challenge one another at their favorite hobbies to see who's the "best." It seemed to be a fun activity, trying to best a friend a sort of goal that they were creating for one another to do their very best the next time they played. I could get used to this Ryuzaki would smile thinking to himself as he released Light's hand shake and take another bite of cake. By this time it was already dark and would soon turn to night as the entire city lights would be gleaming with the late night life. Light would stand brushing the crumbs from his lap and take a last gulp of coffee and look over his shoulder to L and he'd tug on the chain. "Hey L I don't know about you but I have to use the bathroom after all that coffee." He'd promptly tug on the chain again chuckling and L would smile getting up in turn and walk with Light to the bathroom sitting outside the bathroom again thinking about this....this....He would pause and he didn't know what to call what this was. I'll have to check the book tonight when Light fell asleep he thought to himself biting at his thumb tip standing quickly as he heard the door unlock. Ryuzaki would stand as he'd stare out the large window that over looked a now starry and finely lit city. Light would look out the window smiling thinking about the last time he was actually out in public. He toyed with the idea of convincing Ryuzaki to allow him to go out and possibly see his mom and Sayu again , yet as he thought about it he knew there was little to no chance he'd risk letting him out of his site let alone go out in public. He would be taken out of his thought by feeling a tug on the hand cuffs and he would see Ryuzaki making his way to the bed room already nearly getting yanked back.

Ryuzaki would yawn scratching at his eye," Light I'd like to try and get some sleep as it is already 3am. He'd point at the digital clock and Light would stare at in surprise not realizing how long their chess game had lasted. He shuffled over to follow L into the darkened room and they'd both slip into bed L laying with his arms crossed behind his head staring into the ceiling that was just barely visible in the darkness listening to the soft sounds of Light's breathing. He'd sigh turning on his side the cold chain resting against his neck making him shudder slightly. I don't know how you can sleep so soundly Light, he'd think to himself, here I am watching your every move yet I'm the one losing sleep over this. He would reach under his bed and pull out the book again, but this time he had one of those small lights you could attach to your book to read in the dark and he'd look over the next chapter that was labeled "dating." He went though the pages depicting the date between a man and a women and it gnawed at his brain to what felt so familiar about it. Spending the whole day together, enjoyed coffee, shared a favorable activity, all these things fitting into the day he had just spent. He'd mumble to himself turning off the light and flopping the book on the floor under his bed letting out a sigh with his arms crossed behind his head his hands folding over one another behind his head. I'm probably just over thinking this; he'd murmur softly closing his eyes drifting off to sleep.
