Between his thumb and forefinger was a smooth, grey-coloured iPad – its screen glowing bright in the dark hotel room. Streams of endless words filled the iPad as L stared blandly at it, as if analyzing the screen's contents.
Light glared at L from under the covers.
L did not mind Light. His dark eyes continued to bore into the iPad with an intense ferocity as Light groaned, very much annoyed. It was three in the morning! L had been playing about with his iPad for as long as he could remember. When was he going to have a good night's sleep?
Light sat up and looked at the raven-haired detective. What in the world was he doing with the iPad?
"Ryuuzaki, could you avoid facing the iPad's screen directly in my face? I can't sleep like that."
L slowly turned to Light, those deep dark eyes entirely focused on Light.
"Why not?"
Light did not have the energy to deal with L. He was simply too exhausted.
"Because I'm human. Now just switch off that stupid iPad and get away from me."
L was sitting in his usual (or unusual) crouch on the bed beside Light, holding the dangling iPad between his thumb and forefinger of his right hand. He had been staring at the iPad for hours and it infuriated Light to no end. What was wrong with him? The iPad had been on the very same page for that long duration. And L had not even moved in the slightest as he analyzed that very page.
Light briefly glanced at L, mostly out of curiosity. Well, he would not lie, he was actually quite curious at what L was looking at.
"I apologise, Light-kun. I did not think that I would disturb you," L said, without much sincerity. His eyes did not leave the screen as he replied.
"What are you looking at, Ryuuzaki?" Light asked, now fully awake. From his previous sitting position, he shuffled nearer to where L was crouched to his right on the bed.
L slowly hugged the iPad to his right side, subtly shifting his body to cover its contents, almost like a guilty child.
"Why would you want to know, Light-kun?"
Light eyed him suspiciously.
"I just want to."
"If you think that you will be able to obtain confidential information via this method, I suggest you–"
"I'm not Kira!"
"Is that a confession?" L asked, eyes acquiring a wicked glint as he leaned closer to Light.
"How is that a confession? Only your screwed-up brain would…"
Light paused, as realization struck him.
"You're trying to hide that iPad from me… You're steering the conversation into different direction!"
"Ah… Caught me." L shrugged indifferently, "I just thought it might work, you know?"
"Well it didn't, so show me already."
Being distracted by the other's words, they both did not realize that they were now so close, a little push would have sufficed to send them both tumbling off the bed.
L's deep eyes gazed into Light's light brown ones.
"This is something Light-kun shouldn't see."
Light hesitated, part nervous, part disturbed by L's words.
"But I want to see it, Ryuuzaki."
From his right side, L retrieved the iPad with the thumb and forefinger of his right hand and held it dangling in front of Light. Immediately, Light reached out to grab it, but L managed to keep the iPad away from his grasp in time.
"Ah, Light-kun, ever the impatient one." L chided, a slight smirk on his face. Light glared at him.
"Ryuuzaki. Stop playing your stupid mind games and show it to me." Light growled, fully intending to seize the object from L if he refused.
"I must verify, Light-kun, before you turn violent… Are you absolutely sure that you wish to know the contents of this iPad?" L's large, unfathomable eyes bore into Light, causing a dark sense of dread rising up within him.
Light's curiosity burned even brighter than it ever had before.
Now he had to know what L was talking about. Even if he died trying, he would definitely have to know.
"What is it?" Light snapped, "Just show me already!"
"Of course, Light-kun. However…" L trailed off. He stared at the ceiling, placing his free thumb on his lower lip, his brilliant mind in deep thought.
Light felt a vein snap.
" 'However…' What!" Light gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, feeling a desperate need of severely injuring the detective crouching beside him. L looked back to Light, as if he had just suddenly noticed his presence.
"However, I wish to let Light-kun have knowledge of its origins before he starts reading its contents. This is to ensure that Light-kun would not hold me responsible and attempt to murder me once he is done reading. By doing this, the chances of Light-kun attempting to injure me would be reduced by 20.3 percent."
Light was confident that the chances of him murdering L –should he go on rambling about every insignificant thing– would be a hundred percent soon enough.
L had long ago noticed Light's building frustration.
"Light-kun should not blame me. I am merely ensuring my survival."
Light knew he had to strangle L.
"Would…" Light inhaled deeply, keeping his anger in check, "you please hurry and tell me where the hell you got this iPad?"
L's expression was as blank as ever, but Light knew deep inside that the sick bastard was enjoying himself very much.
A slight smirk coated L's features. He loved that he could infuriate the boy so easily. It pleased him greatly indeed.
"Misa Amane." L said, shrugging, "While you were away Misa-san gave it to me. She demanded I read everything in a certain saved file. I must admit… Curiosity coerced me to accept. You must realize how it was inevitable."
Light frowned, eyeing L suspiciously.
"What has it got to do with Misa?"
L's eyes glinted as his stare returned back to the iPad.
"Ah, Light-kun. What has it got to do with Misa-san? Well… Everything."
Light had to admit. Right now, his curiosity had shot sky-high. An eagerness to pin L to the bed and snatch the iPad to unveil the "secret" was overwhelming him. He could overpower L in that position… L was used to retaliating with his feet. If he did hold down the detective now, his feet would be nowhere near him. And with the element of surprise… Light briefly glanced at his soon-to-be victim, L would not have the chance to turn his body and fight back. In his head, Light snickered to himself. He would show that arrogant bastard…
L looked to the boy beside him, wondering why he had gone quiet. Never would he have thought that Light would…
Before L could even register what was happened, the air was knocked out of him as Light, very violently, pressed both his palms onto the said arrogant bastard's chest to hold him down. With a quick movement, Light was now straddling the stunned detective, a wild grin on his face.
In a feeble attempt to escape, L tried to swing his legs to kick Light, but in the position they were in, it was practically impossible. L also tried punching Light in the face, but his fists never had much strength in them, and of course, were stopped midway before it reached its intended target.
L eyed Light, a dangerous glint present in those wild orbs.
"This might raise your percentage of being Kira, Light-kun."
Light smirked, using one hand to pin the detective's both wrists above his head.
"I know. But it won't. Because both you and I know you deliberately provoked me. It was inevitable." Light said, quoting the L's previous words.
L faked a sigh, "Youth. Ever impulsive."
"Please, Ryuuzaki. You aren't much older yourself."
Without a second thought, Light used his free hand to grab to iPad, which was thrown on the bed when Light tackled L.
Light started reading:
"Ngh… I can't…" his breath hitched, "I can't… ah… take it anymore…"
He grasped at the bed sheets, hips lifted, wantonly begging to be taken. He could not wait any longer… The man above him chuckled, holding his wrists even more tightly. His hand trailed up the boy's shirt, savoring the whimpers the boy was making. He bent down to his lover's ear and whispered adoringly, "No… it's only just the beginning…"
The man beneath him shivered at his words.
"Ahh…" Light groaned as L started to—
No. Way.
Light's eyes bulged to the size of plates as he stared, absolutely horrified, at the screen.
NO. WAY.
Light's mouth hung agape.
NONONONO-
"Had enough?" L smirked, observing Light's comical reaction, and finding it extremely amusing.
Light stared back down at the detective, eyes still wide as saucers.
Light Yagami, the ultimate genius, was speechless.
Absolutely speechless.
For once in his life, Light Yagami's brain held no words to rebuke, nor words to respond. All he did was stare at the detective wide-eyed.
L shifted uncomfortably.
"Are you done? If so, I would like to be freed of this…" L paused, finding the words to describe his situation, "extremely inappropriate position."
Light's face held a bewildered expression, before he suddenly realized he was still holding L down.
"Oh… Oh, I'm sorry." Light said sincerely, and he was about to let L go… except…
L glared at Light.
"How about letting go of-"
"Ryuuzaki." Light looked down at the writhing detective, "this situation… it is very much like…"
L looked up at Light, their eyes locked onto one another's.
Oh.
A sudden worrying thought started to gnaw at L.
"And what about it, Light-kun?"
"Hmmm…"
L struggled desperately under Light's tight grasp. Damn the boy was stronger than he looked… If only his fighting style had included punching as well…
"Light-kun... Don't." L warned.
Light smiled. A dazzling smile.
"Don't what, Ryuuzaki?" Light looked at the man beneath him with wide innocent eyes. L felt like retching.
The impudent boy…
"Don't get wild ideas, Yagami-kun." L practically growled.
"Oh… Ryuuzaki-san, of course not!" Light grinned mischievously.
Well, he wasn't to go too far, but he could get back at the detective for before. Light Yagami was not stupid to give up such an opportunity…
Slowly, Light trailed his hand up L loose shirt, slowly feeling the body beneath him.
It was L's turn to be thoroughly stunned.
"Yagami-kun, I feel that I should mention that in the story you have just read, I was on top." L snapped as he tensed up. He felt extremely uncomfortable at such contact, and wanted to get away from Light… as soon as he could.
In response, Light glared back at him, voice filled with malice as he said, "Well, obviously certain foolish, ignorant people decided such a fact."
"I would say it is quite obvious that the majority would support me as the one on top should we ever (never!) be in a relationship."
L was certain that provoking Light in such a situation would not help himself much, but he felt obliged to state several truths that Light refused to accept.
"Well, perhaps it is so, but of course should things ever turn that way (never!) I would insist, and gradually, get to be on top." Light concluded, satisfied with his swift response.
"Ah, but Light-kun would never be able to overpower me without using underhanded means." L smirked, kicking himself inwardly as things started to spiral out of control. He knew he was supposed to pacify Light so as to avoid the gradual flow of the situation, but he could not help but to defend himself…
"Enough, Ryuuzaki. Distracting me won't work anymore. No matter what you say, I am the one with the power over you now."
L cursed in his mind. This was what he had hoped that would escape Light's notice: that L was in an extremely vulnerable situation, unable to defend himself.
Should Light ever decide to…
L shuddered.
Of course, Light had noticed L's problematic situation a long time ago. He smirked to himself. He would play with L…
Toy him around his little finger…
Slowly…
For once in his life L felt an emotion rising within him.
One that was undeniably named…
Fear.
A/N: So how was it? I was thinking of writing a continuation, but I wanted to see how the readers would respond first. If you really do want to see another chapter, or think that a one-shot like this is good enough, please tell me! I really would like to know how you readers feel about the story in general… I hoped it made you guys laugh!
And if you would like to point out the mistakes I've made, please do so as well! I did try to make the characters as real as they can be, so please tell me if I've succeeded in that area ;)
Oh! And I would really like to know if you guys prefer L or Light to be the top or bottom.
-winkwink-
Alright, folks! I hope you guys do review and tell me what you think! :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note \(;- ;)/ If I did my darlin L would have lived…
