The morning after a chaotic night finds two geniuses in disarray. Their hair is tousled, clothes crumpled, and reddish marks linger on their necks. Light Yagami, usually the picture of composed perfection, stands in the kitchen wearing someone else's shirt, staring blankly at the wall. Behind him, clinging like a human blanket, sleeps L Lawliet—his dark, messy hair and shadowed eyes the polar opposite of Light's polished appearance. L's arms are wrapped tightly around Light's waist, his soft snores muffled against Light's back. The coffee machine hisses suddenly, breaking the heavy silence. Light reaches for a cup, and L only presses closer, mumbling into his spine.
