A/N: I dont own Death Note. Also, bear in mind that there may be some OOC-ness due to the fact that I've only watched the movies and read a couple of the manga. So here are some content warnings for the faint of heart: This story may or may not, but most likely will contain m/m, rape, self harm, suicide, language, and graphic sex. I'm not sure yet, just warning you!
"I knew it! You're Kira!" L cried triumphantly.
L's smug look turned into one of confusion. Instead of looking defeated, Light was looking..amused?
"Well done, L-kun, well done," said Light, clapping. "Although I made sure even the most common schoolgirl could figure it out."
L paused, unsure of what to say or do. This was not the reaction he was expecting. There was no way in Hell L could have been outsmarted by a mere high school student.
"I will report you to the authorities at once." He finally managed to say, "you were a worthy adversary, but nevertheless a murderer."
Light took a step closer to the bewildered detective.
"Unfortunately," he said in a low voice, "you are in no position to do such a thing."
"W-w-what do you mean?" L stuttered.
Light chuckled, and grinned widely.
"Since I am in fact Kira, you should know that I could kill right now."
"But you can't possibly know my real name!" said L.
"I must disagree with that statement, L Lawliet."
L took a few steps backwards.
"How did you know?"
"I have my sources." Light replied. "But the fact of the matter is that you are not reporting me to anyone. You are going to walk out of this room and back to the conference room. Where you will then proceed to tell everyone that I have been cleared of all suspicions. I take it you value your life?"
With no other option, L slowly trudged into the conference room. Everybody was relieved when he told them Light was innocent. They had not actually believed that he could've been the culprit. L slept uneasily that night. His brain was telling him that Light would surely start demanding something else, most likely money. He finally fell asleep, dreaming of Light's leering face and sinister laugh.
The next morning, when the team gathered to headquarters to resume their search for Kira, they noticed something was missing. L wasn't present.
" He must still be in bed," reasoned Matsuda, "We are early, after all. Light-kun, why don't you go up to his room and wake him up?"
At first, Light was annoyed by the request. But then a slow, predatory smile spread over the teen's handsome features. He would wake him up alright. As he made his way to L's bedroom, he made a quick detour to room where L had discarded their handcuffs from the previous night. L was going to regret ever crossing Yagami Light.
