L was glad that the long morning was over and that the afternoon sun was high in the sky. It meant that half of this ridiculous day was almost over. It also meant that he would see Laura again soon, provided she finished her business out-and-about. He had no objections to waiting, of course... he just wanted, selfishly, to be near her again. The people in L's life had never exactly made him feel secure; while he trusted his caretaker Watari explicitly, he had always known that the man could take anything and everything from him at a whim. Others he had known had been suspects, like Light, or colleagues with no room for anything but a strictly professional relationship, or rivals whose titles he had eventually stolen and used himself.

Now, L was seated in the liquor store, carefully using a straight-edge to draw a chess board on the tiled floor. He was crouched and curled, in his usual favored sitting position, lining different types of bottles up carefully. Maybe, if Laura was interested, they could play later, or he could teach her how if she didn't already know. If not, well... he was willing to settle for more sex.
