. : Handcuffs : .
CHAPTER 1
"Ryuzaki, are these handcuffs really necessary?" Light huffed, almost seeming to pout, lounging on the couch.
"Yes, Light-kun," L answered, reluctantly taking out a rainbow lollipop he was previously savouring, "this way, I can see everything you do at all times to prove you are indeed Kira."
The brunette scowled and muttered, "Creepy much..."
"Heard that," the panda looking detective murmured, smirking.
"Oh, mind your own business, Ryuzaki."
"Your business is automatically my business as well, Light-kun."
"This is why these," he lifted his handcuffed arm, a deep frown graced his facial features, "need to go. If I stay this close to you any longer, I think I might go crazy!"
"Ah, if you have not acknowledged this yet," L began dipping his strawberry in liquid chocolate, "being Kira is also going to cause craze and psychotic attributes."
"You're impossible."
"So are you Light-kun."
"Can you please just leave me alone?"
"Is being two metres away from you classified as 'leaving you alone'?"
"No," Light, frustrated, let out a sigh, "I want to live my life alone, not handcuffed to you!"
Abruptly, L stood up from his chair and faced Light eye-to-eye, not fazed how close they currently were.
Whispering, he softly inquired, "Am I really that bad, Light-kun? Would you rather have Misa-chan in my place so your nights wouldn't be as, hmm, boring?"
"W-what?!" In a flash, the honour student transformed into a flustered, stuttering mess.
"I stand correct," the detective directed a small smirk."
"N-no! Damn it, Ryuzaki, you've got it all wrong."
"Ah, then, should I assume that by chance Misa-chan is the second Kira and is reading the names for you out of love, Light-kun?"
"No, ugh, fine! You know what? I don't give a damn anymore," in defeat, Light buried his face into his hands, beginning to move away and accidentally caused L to lose his blanace.
Taken on by surprise, he stumbled and fell on top of him. His lollipop left forgotten, dropped. Awkwardly, one of L's legs were sprawled in between Light's, His spiky black hair was tickling Light's neck, making him shiver in. . . delight?! Black eyes looked in brown in question, no sign of discontent. Light could sniff a hint of strawberries wafting towards him and it smelled absolutely delicious. And utterly ravishing. Even better than females' perfume.
"Wh-what the hell?!" Light shouted in alarm, highly perplexed by the position they found themselves in.
"Ah, so you have finally decided to reveal your real self," L stated with an amused face.
"What do you mean? And get the hell off me!"
"To show your true sexuality," he shook his head, "if my memory serves me right as usual... you, Light-kun, were the one who pulled me on top of you."
"Goddammit, that was purely an accident!"
"Really?" L shifted on top of him to rest his thumb on his lips. "Then explain this awfully stiff object protruding on my chest at this moment."
Ignoring his increasingly hard member, Light mustered to stutter out, "Th-that's. . . Ugh, this is all your fault!"
"My fault?" He feigned naivety.
"Yes! If it weren't for these damn handcuffs you love using so much," he shook his arm, sounds of metal clinking against the floor, "neither of us would be involved in this mess!"
"Is that so? It appears you are rather enjoying this mess, Light-kun," L motioned to his tightly curled toes.
"Even if I was homosexual, I'd have far better taste then men like you," Light retorted with a proud smirk, "my standards are quite up there."
"Same applies to me. And so, don't expect me to join you as your partner."
Face flushed to the maximum red colour, Light stammered, "P-P-PARTNER?!"
"Yes, Light-kun, as you may see, I am human. I, as well, require such needs-"
"Sh-Shut the hell up! You're just seducing me for your own benefit!"
"Oh?"
"Don't 'oh' me," he growled, grabbing a handful of L's baggy long sleeved shirt, "I can see straight through that pathetic plan. Seduction won't get me to admit anything."
"Ah, it could easily go reverse," L poked Light's cheek in almost a flirting matter, "you could very well be swooning me so I would not suspect you as Kira. By the way, I still do with a 6.98%, Light-kun."
"Do you think I'd stoop that low against you?"
". . . Yes, you are capable-"
"Just who do you think I am? Do I even matter to you, Ryuzaki?"
"Light Yagami. As difficult as it is to admit, you do matter. You are my only true friend."
". . . Friend? Don't make me laugh with such words of deceptive endearment."
"I am not. You truly are a friend to me, Light-kun, as much as I hate it."
"Then just hate me! Hate me enough so we can be freed from each other."
"It's not so simple... A part of me is unwilling to accept you, my closest friend, a ruthless killer. I realize I am fairly stupid, but, something is causing me to lower my deductions around you."
"Get to the point."
"I don't know. There is no point."
"Why bother telling me in the first place?!"
"Because. . . next time, I may not be able to tell you in purpose," with unreadable eyes, the detective lowered his voice, "the church bells. . . I can hear them ringing in the distance. It is far, but, coming."
"You're making no sense, Ryuzaki."
"You are making me make no sense, Light-kun. Make it stop."
"How can I make it stop when I don't even know what I am doing to you?"
". . . Say Light-kun," L changed the topic and began to inch dangerously close to Light's face, "surely, this does not affect you at all if you are completely straight."
"Frankly, y-you creep me out, Ryuzaki," Light muttered, feeling L's warm breath on his red face.
"Your face says otherwise," he deducted then whispered, "shall I conduct a mini experiment to check if your preferences are indeed girls?"
"What do you mean-"
Light's thoughts blurred when L's lips quickly captured his. His lips felt warm. He was frozen in shock. None of their lips were moving. L's eyes held no emotion, surveying the brunette's reaction, still against him. Immediately, Light pushed him off, heavily breathing with pink faintly dusted on his cheeks. The detective still looked the same like kissing other guys were completely normal.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL RYUZAKI?!"
He sat in his usual position, unaffected by the furious young man. "As I said, testing."
"You have no right to… to just do that!"
"Do what, Light-kun?"
"Kiss me! I have a girlfriend, you know!"
"Ah, one-sided love. Always tragic. Imagine how heartbroken Misa-chan would be to discover her boyfriend is gay and kissed another man, hmm?"
"Kuso (Damn), I'm not gay."
"Why did it take you 3.7 seconds to react? A normal straight man would have pushed me off sooner."
". . . Well, I was taken on by surprise!"
"Any man taken by surprise would have-"
"OH," Light loudly interrupted him, "look how awfully late it is! Wow. I need to take a shower."
"Mind if I join you?"
"Yes, do not join me! You remember our bathroom arrangements."
"Person A showers and Person B waits outside the door, chain underneath the said door."
"Perfect memory as always," he bitterly muttered and tugged him along to the bathroom.
A/N: Wow, I haven't written fanfics in a while, gosh. Well, this came to me out of boredom during shopping, haha. Originally, this was posted on instagram. XD I'm the_pizza_otaku if you're curious about my fangirl otaku life. ^^;; Soo, so far, looks like L is going to be the seme and Light the uke if this turns into a smut. Honestly, I think they can switch it up now and then. ;) Both can be seme/uke, heh.
