Concentration by Ratt9 is a Death Note Crack Fic where Matsuda asks Light to teach him how to seduce someone, so Light demonstrates his techniques on a none-too-willing L. L is determined to ignore Light regardless of what the teen does to him, but Light is determined to get a reaction. Hilarity Ensues.
Not to be confused with the game of puzzles and prizes.
Concentration provides examples of:
- Freudian Slippery Slope: Light gets into one of these when trying to instruct Matsuda on how to properly seduce someone.Matsuda [wearing an ugly suit]: Hey, Light-kun.Light: What is it?Matsuda: Uhh, you're good with girls, right?Light: [thinking]: Hell yeah, I have! Well, I have had quite a few girlfriends over the years. So, I guess you could say that.Matsuda: Well, you see... I'm going on a date with someone in an hour, and, uh, I was sort of wondering if you could give me some advice...Light: [thinking]: Well, that explains the ugly suit. Oh, sure. Do you want to learn how to make her like you, or how to make her want to knock you over and fuck you into a mattress? Because I'm fairly good at both.The reality that he had quite possibly just said the most awkward thing in his life hit Light when the sound of chairs scraping against the floor reverberated all through the room as everyone in the task force turned to stare at him.
- And Light continues Digging Himself In Deeper when he gives Matsuda lessons on the art of seduction:
- Gay Moment: Since there are no girls around for Light to demonstrate his seduction techniques on Light decides to show Matsuda how it's done by using Ryuuzaki as his victim/date.
- "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization: Light insists it's not harassment since L liked it.
- He Cleans Up Nicely: Subverted, Light is tipped off that Matsuda is going on a date when he shows up wearing a really ugly suit.
- Slash Fic: Light tries to seduce L.
