Okay, so I'm just going to put all my little comments at the front of this chapter to make it easier. The chapters are pretty short, since I orginally wrote this all on one document. I got stuck on my Matt/Linda story, so I took a break and wrote this thing. My best friends loved it, so I hope someone here will too. If you are reading this for lemon, then don't bother. But otherwise...

enjoy~


L wasn't sure how much longer he would be with Light, but he was ninety eight percent sure that that the two of them would never be able to feel like this again. With Light's nails digging into his shoulder, causing blood to stream down his back. Moaning as L thrust into his lover, the both of them screaming as they released at the same time.

Tomorrow would change everything, L knew as he pulled out and rolled over beside the teenager on the large white bed. Light grabbed his hand as they lay together, gasping, and attempting to regain all the control over their bodies that they had lost.

Tomorrow would be the day that they caught the third Kira. How many more would he have to catch for it to stop? He was sure that the boy next to him was the first Kira, and he was also sure that Light had no recollection of anything that he had done with the power.

He felt Light move closer to him, and he let go of the boy's hand in response, instead holding it to his waist, guiding him even closer. L's other hand was under his chin, pulling the boy close to his face. He kissed him softly, tenderly, attempting to make the moment as sweet and lasting as possible.

Light pulled away first. "Promise me that you will sleep tonight, please?" He said, caressing the bags under the older man's eyes with his long fingers.

Smiling, L kissed his forehead, "I'll try, darling, if only for you." Light smiled back and gently rested the side of his head into L's chest.

"The sound of your heart…it's beautiful."

"That's a very un-Kira thing of you to say…" L drifted off, staring at the ceiling. He hadn't thought of what he had said, and he felt Light stiffen against his chest.

"Good." Light said, pulling away from L entirely.

"No…" L said, pulling Light back to him. He didn't want tonight to end like this, with a stupid remark. L knew that he had not just offended Light, but that he had hurt him.

"I'm sorry," L whispered in his ear. He pulled the teenager's face towards him, and pressed their foreheads together. "I didn't mean to bring that up tonight. You have been amazing…" L slid his lips down Light's neck, and gently nipped at his collar bone. "On this case and I…" He bit a little harder. "Didn't mean to offend you." Light gasped as L broke skin, licking at the blood that pooled up at his wound.

"It's fine…" Light said as he threw his head back impulsively, inviting L to do more damage. He bit the boy again, higher up his neck, and was rewarded with another moan.

"No…" Light pulled back again, already a little out of breath. "It's nighttime…you…we need to sleep."

L laughed a little in response, "Mmm, then come here, my love…"

Tomorrow, everything might change, but here, with Light lying on his chest, it didn't matter. L's chin brushed against his hair, and he had one hand gently stroking the back of his head, waiting for his breathing to become soft and even in sleep. His other hand was loosely draped across the boy's lower back. One of Light's hands was balled up on his shoulder, while the other one was resting against the side of the detective's bare chest.

"Sleep well," L whispered, once he knew that Light was asleep. He inhaled deeply at the sound of his love's voice, then continued in unconsciousness.

Staring at the ceiling, L wondered if there was any way to protect this lifeless body from the return of Kira's power. Again, he was sure that Light was Kira, but with no cognizant intention to become so. When he was under twenty four hour surveillance, L remembered the moment that he believed Light to lose all memory of any actions that he may have taken under Kira's influence.

Could Light really be to blame for anything that had happened?

Even if he was aware of it, it had been in good intentions at first, innocent almost…No.

He was letting himself become compromised by emotion. Kira was evil, Kira was a murderer, and if Light was consciously Kira, then Light was evil too. Even if his sweet breath found its way to L's face…

And if Light wasn't conscious of his actions? What was he then? Another victim, perhaps? L was still bothered by the fact that Light and Misa hadn't been killed once their memories had been erased…did that mean that Kira intended to use them again? L's arms subconsciously tightened around Light…

Which meant that as long as Kira was still in existence, then Light would never be safe, and the only way to protect Light was to get rid of Kira.

"I love you, Yagami Light," L whispered into complete darkness.

L closed his eyes, and felt the last few days of insomnia finally hit him. Eyes getting heavier, he tried to fight the growing fatigue…maybe if he just rested for an hour or so…just so that he wouldn't have to blatantly lie to Light in the morning when he asked if he had gotten any sleep…Yes…just a few minutes rest…
