A/N: Hello! To those who are waiting for me to update any of my other stories, I'm sorry. I do believe that writer's block should be scientifically registered as an actual physical force, such as gravity. It's definitely as, if not more, powerful. Anyways, there is an OC used, but not as a major character. The OC's name is Kanashimi Kurosu, so if you see that name and wonder, "Who the hell is that?" just know that it's an OC, not a canon character. Also, I don't really like Misa, so I just took my battle-axe death scythe and cut her out of the picture here. That is the joy of being the author. Wait…..
*Author then sets fire to fill her joy, and uses the ashes to write "CrazyPerson145 doesn't own Death Note. If she did, L would still be alive, and he and Light would have at least kissed, more likely be dating." After writing this, author then goes and leaps off a cliff, allowing her black skyloft to catch her. Together they fly off into a maddened midnight*
Ok, here we go:
THIS IS IN A GENERAL POV FOR NOW!
'This does it, I'm lost.' Light thought angrily. He was currently walking down an oddly uninhabited sidewalk at about 7:34 p.m., in the rain. It wasn't a downpour or anything, but it still annoyed him. L had changed hotels, and had asked Light to meet him in private at the new hotel. It was probably just something stupid about the Kira case, but that was exactly why Light needed to go. He needed to know what leads L had on him. However, the wild-haired detective had neglected to be specific with any details regarding the new hotel's location, so Light was inevitably lost.
All L had told him was that the Hotel was on this street, and a tall building. Really, for a supposed genius he wasn't very specific with things like this now was he? There were several tall buildings along this road, but none were hotels. The only option Light really had was to walk through the rain, which was now coming down in sheets, along the street until he finally found the goddamn hotel.
Light was alone this time, surprisingly enough. Ryuk had been particularly annoying the whole day, and Light had finally just snapped and told the shinigami to leave him alone. He could have used Ryuk's help now, but he refused to ever beg that pain-in-the-ass for anything.
Eventually, once the rain had actually turned into a full-fledged downpour, he found the hotel. He knew this had to be the one because A: it was the only hotel on the street, and B: it was a rather tall building. Light entered the building, and took the elevator up to L's room. At least the squirrely detective had given him that much information.
Light only had to knock on the door once before the rustle of clothing on furniture, a thump, and footsteps were heard on the other side of the door. The door was opened to reveal an even messier then usual looking L. He looked like he had actually been sleeping for once, or at least zoned out, and he looked almost sad about something.
"Ah, Light-Kun. I've been waiting for you. Please come in." L said. Light was taken aback a bit. L's voice confirmed Light's earlier suspicion. Something was upsetting the raven-haired detective, and it was probably something a little more personal than the Kira case.
Light followed L into the hotel room, making sure to close and lock the door behind him. L sat, (well, not exactly sat, more like crouched) on a pillow-laden couch, gesturing for Light to sit next to him. Light began to get a little nervous when he saw that there were no other people in the room, and the cameras appeared to be off for once. All this, joined with L's sudden invitation and stranger-then-usual attitude set off alarm bells in Light's head. Just what exactly did L want to talk to him about?!
Cautiously, Light sat down next to L, who had turned to face him, panda eyes wide and expecting as if waiting for Light to say something. Light did.
"So uh, Ryuzaki. What did you want to talk to me about?" He asked L, who was still staring at him in a somewhat unnerving manner.
"Light-Kun. I'm glad you decided to come. This is pretty important." L stated, seeming to avoid directly answering the question. Light was inwardly beginning to freak out.
'Is all this because he somehow finally figured out I'm Kira?! Oh, god, what do I do now?! Wait, no. Don't let him know you're worried, just act innocent. Give him no reason to suspect you even more then he already does.' Light thought to himself.
"What exactly did you want to talk about with me?" Light asked, trying again. L looked almost….. Apprehensive? Just what was about to happen?
"Well, Light-Kun, this is a personal matter, so I would appreciate it if you didn't go blabbing to everyone." L said. He was facing downwards, but his eyes were peeking up at Light through is hair, making him look almost…. Cute.
'Whoa! Where did that come from?!' Light thought to himself. He decided to do his best at ignoring the strange though, and nodded, urging L to continue.
L averted his eyes and kept silent for a moment before speaking.
"It's just that, there's something happening to me that I can't explain, which unnerves me to say the least. I know that sooner or later Kira is going to kill me, but I just wanted to sort out that one strange issue before he does. That's why I called you here Light, to help me with that if you would be so kind."
Light was stunned. The usually proud and emotionless L had not only admitted to not knowing something, (which was a miracle on its own) but had also asked Light to help him with something involving emotion? What on earth was happening?
More apprehensively, Light nodded his head again, agreeing to whatever it was that L wanted him to do. Was he going to be asked to have a psychologist style talk with the quirky detective? God that would be awkward.
L looked nervous, something Light would never thought he would see, as he leaned towards a now very confused and very scared Light. Just what was this guy doing?
Light's heart almost stopped when L closed his eyes and kissed him. L's skin was surprisingly warm, and his lips were soft against Light's.
Shocked, Light didn't try to pull away from L, who was still softly kissing him, and leaning close enough to make Light's heart beat a little faster than usual.
Embarrassed, L pulled away from the kiss, which had only lasted about 10 seconds, though it felt like longer to Light.
"I'm sorry if you find me disgusting now, Light-Kun. I just had to, before I died." L said.
Light must have appeared angry, for L shrank back from him, curling up into an even tighter ball and looking away.
Neither said anything. Light just sat there, stunned.
'Did Ryuzaki seriously just… kiss me? There's no way! Why would he do that? Doesn't he suspect I'm Kira? What on earth…..' Light's eyes drifted over to L and he was immediately snapped out of his thoughts.
The ever rock-like L was crying? That couldn't have been true!
And yet it was. Light saw L's black eyes close tightly as salty tears made their way down his pale face, and witnessed L hug his knees even closer to his chest. Why was he so emotional all of a sudden?
Before he knew what he was doing, Light found himself wrapping his arms around a surprised L and pulling him closer. Light could feel L's crazy-thin body pressed up against his, his breath hitch, and his soft black hair tickling Light's skin from where his face was buried in Light's shoulder.
Scrawny and unsure arms wrapped themselves tentatively around Light's back as L attempted to hug Light back.
They both just sat like that for a while, unsure of what to do. A single thought ran through both of their heads though:
'What the hell just happened?'
