Hey guys, just a random story that popped into my head. I do not own Death Note

~Chapter 1: The Flu Shot ~

L clung to Light's arm like a scared child. "Raito-kun, please don't make me!" he begged. He had started to regret handcuffing himself to the brown haired boy.

"Ryuzaki," Light sighed. "All of the other task members got one. Give me one good reason why you shouldn't."

"What if the injection is poisonous?" L demanded. "What if the person is injecting cyanide into my blood stream? Then I'd be dead and the task force would be nothing! Or, what if the person giving it to me is Kira?"

"Highly unlikely," Light replied. He half-dragged L into the local pharmacy. He took the paperwork they needed, and handed one of the clipboards to L. L angrily took the paperwork and began to fill it out.

Name: Hideki Ryuga

Age: 22

Date of Birth: May 21, 1985

Insurance provider: None

Raito, since you are paying for this, I'll be sure to make it twice as expensive by not listing an insurance provider, L smiled as he thought. He and Light turned in their respective clipboards.

Soon, they were called back. "Mr. Yagami and Mr. Ryuga, correct?" Light nodded. "And you will both be receiving flu shots?" Light nodded again.

"I'll go first just to prove nothing bad will happen to you," Light said to L. He sat down in a chair next to the nurse-practitioner and rolled up his sleeve.

"Have you gotten a flu shot before?" the woman asked.

"Every year since I was five," Light answered. He waited as the woman sterilized his arm and inserted the needle. He didn't even flinch as she injected the weakened flu cells. She put a band-aid on the area. He stood up. "See Ryuga? It's not bad at all."

L had watched in horror as the needle was inserted into Light's arm. He didn't hear his comment. "Your turn," she said to L. He slowly switched places with Light. "Have you gotten a flu shot before?" L shook his head. "You aren't afraid of needles are you?" L's panicked expression said it all. "I need you to either roll up your sleeve or lower the collar so I can get your arm…" the woman said impatiently. L rolled up his sleeve.

The nurse-practitioner sterilized his arm with rubbing alcohol. That was when L started freaking out. "IT HURTS! STOP!" The woman jumped back.

"Ryuga, she hasn't even put the needle in yet…" Light pointed out.

"Oh," L replied more calmly. The woman finished sterilizing the area. She pulled out the shot. "Wait…" L said. "How do I know that isn't poisonous?"

"Ryuga, I just got the same vaccine," Light pointed out. "And I'm still standing here, aren't I?"

"For all I know, you've built up an immunity!"

The nurse-practitioner sighed. "I promise it's not poisoned. I'll count for you, okay?"

"Okay," L replied quietly.

Instead of counting, the woman simply shoved the needle into L's arm and injected him with the vaccine. L's eyes had gone wide with fright. "All done," the woman said after a bit.

"Good," L replied.

"If you don't mind me asking… Why are you two handcuffed together?"

"That idiot," Light said, pointing to L. "Lost the key."

"Oh, well, have a nice day!"

Light and L walked out of the pharmacy. "Ryuzaki, you never told me you were afraid of needles."

"Light," L began. "What human being in their right mind wouldn't be?"

"Anyway, I just thought I should tell you… We're giving blood tomorrow."

"WHAT?"
