Rating: M? Yea, that's right. Just barely, for slash!

Spoilers: Not much, unless you aren't to the part about the Chains yet… If you don't know what that is, don't read. :P

Disclaimer: Ryuk owns the Death Note, really. Light thinks he does. I know I don't.

Special Extra: This is a challenge fic! 2 Friends and I decided to each write a story that began with "L could really tie a knot." (Feel free to join the challenge!) One of them wrote an mpreg and just posted it... Please read it and review, too,and don't cry too much, k? ; It's a well-written humor -- unlike this one, which is a poorly written humor.

Summary: Light seduces L with strawberries. Does his plan succeed? How do knots come into play? Read on.

L could really tie a knot. This was verified when Light found he could not move his hands away from the headboard.

The worst part is that it was done with the sleeves of his throw-over shirt.

But he'd asked for it. He really had.

"Chocolate covered strawberries are considered an aphrodisiac." Light had even lowered his voice when he opened the box of specialty-made candies for L. "I thought you'd like to share…"

It had been a straightforward approach, but he knew it would work. L was unusually drawn to Light, he could tell that much the first time they'd met – but he'd never imagined he'd be in this position.

Light pondered how many advantages he'd have over L if only they could gain more trust between them – grow closer than just friends. That sort of thing. It was an easy plan, even if L was sort of a freaky, super-intelligent thumb-sucker. But was it really worth the effort? He figured he'd try.

L's eyes had widened upon seeing the delicate strawberries. At first, they were clearly skeptical. They narrowed slightly as L pondered just what Light was implying… as they were getting ready for bed.

Really, the timing had been perfect. How Light managed to get this done, L would never know. He had managed to get Misa to do it behind his back, to get two boxes and share one with her later, all for the sake of The Plan. Keeping secrets while in chains with the world's greatest detective was difficult, even for Light.

But not as difficult as that knot.

Light wondered if it had been a good idea in the first place to seduce L? He was a strange cat; really, no one else was quite as unusual outside of an institution…

"Light-kun.. What is the purpose of thi--?"

Light had pulled one out of the box and pressed it against L's lips. L winced, just a little. He kept his eyes on Light for a moment, then calmed down and closed them. He took a bite, and it was heavenly.

The strawberries served their purpose a little too well.

Light was in total control. He kissed L first, pushed him down (with relative ease, much to Light's surprise) onto the bed and did his stuff. Worked like magic with all the girls. Didn't really change much when dealing with L. He even thought it was fun, which was more than he usually felt with the girls. They were too easy to manipulate. L was very tricksy.

Light managed to lift off their shirts before L picked up the slack and began to really return the affection that Light had just given. He was an astonishingly quick learner. It was really to be expected…

But how L managed to flip Light onto the bottom, lift his hands over his head and tie his hands to the post with his own shirt, Light couldn't remember.

And what the fetish was, he couldn't really figure out.

L was flushed as he touched every nook and cranny of Light's upper half that he could. He would experiment with his fingers first, then his lips, then his tongue. Light found it intriguing, so let it continue for a while before asking, "W…What are you doing?"

"Hmm?" L lifted his head from Light's neck, breathing softly, "Is… this unusual?"

Light twisted his hands around in the knot. "A little… Can you let me go? I can't do anything…"

L shakes his head, looking a little naïve as he leaned over Light to give him another kiss on the lips.

"I… can't," L whispered. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

Again? Light sighed. This was getting dull. He kicked back, not with much force, but enough to let L know that he was not happy.

"Untie me," Light growled. "Now."

L blinked innocently. "Why's that?"

A hand snuck down his pants experimentally. Light found himself more turned on than he realized, a quick gasp reiterating the fact.

And well… letting L do whatever he wanted had its benefits. It let him feel closer to Light, which is what Light wanted, but…

"…That's good, Ryuuzaki…" Light said with surprising breathlessness. "…Keep doing that. It would be easier if you actually unfastened my pants, though…"

"..I see…"

So L unfastened them. Light was sprawled half naked on the bed, hands tied to the headboard, with L figuring out what to do.

And he was doing a good job, for an amateur.

It was also fun to tell him what to do, for a while.

But in the end, all it resulted in was getting his pants dirty. L promptly, innocently fell asleep, wrapped up around Light like saran wrap around an extra piece of cake. In fact, Light was sure that's what he was dreaming about.

And Light's arms were still tied up on the headboard.

He hoped no one turned on the cameras in the morning. His dad would just have a heart attack.

Another one.

Oh well.
