I've had some of this in the back of my mind for several weeks now and I finally got part of it on the computer. All I can really say is that my mind works best at 2 in the morning.
Chapter 1
Raito's eyes locked on the box of donuts that Watari had brought for them. He watched L selected a chocolate one with colorful sprinkles and took a deep breath before reaching for a plain glazed donut. Raito had been offered sweets many times before by the sugar addicted detective, and after refusing several times he had finally caved in.
'At least it's only a donut', Raito thought to himself as he alternated between slowly eating his donut and taking shallow sips from his coffee cup. By the time Raito was a fourth through his donut, L was already halfway though his third. Raito took savoring his donut as a personal challenge as he watched L finish off the last of the sweets.
Now with only one bite of his donut left, Raito noticed the detective's eyes on him. Taking an extra long sip of coffee, he turned in his chair to face L.
"Something wrong, Ryuuzaki?" He asked, in an almost innocent voice.
"Are you going to finish that donut Raito-kun?" L asked, after a moment of silence. Raito raised an eyebrow, realizing just how obsessed L was with sweets, even though he had offered it to Raito in the first place. Raito knew that there was no way in Hell that he wasn't going to finish the donut himself.
"I'm sorry Ryuuzaki, but I have every intention of finishing this donut." Raito said a bit smugly as he placed the last of the pastry in his mouth. The insomniac frowned. Before Raito could turn his chair back to face his computer, L leaned forward and licked a little bit of donut glaze off of Raito's bottom lip. The teenager froze, his face heating up.
"What the Hell was that, Ryuuzaki?!" Raito demanded, face bright red.
"You had glaze on your face." The detective stated, point blank. Raito's eyes filled with anger at L's response.
"I don't really think that justifies your actions, Ryuuzaki." Raito commented through gritted teeth. L just shrugged before returning to his laptop. Frustrated, Raito gave L one last death glare before facing his own laptop.
Raito looked at the digital clock on the wall, seeing that it was still over an hour before the rest of the investigation crew arrived at work. He sighed and drained the last of his coffee before mentally preparing himself for a long day at work.
Work was uneventful, as usual and Raito was having a hard time staying awake. He glanced at L from the corner of his eyes and saw that the detective showed no signs of going to bed anytime soon. Giving into his need for sleep, Raito lowered his head onto the desk and slipped into unconsciousness.
Raito's was dreaming. Dreaming of donuts and L. He was falling through the sky, donuts falling all around him. He was reaching out to L, who was falling below him, just a few feet to far away for him to reach. L stared up with wide eyes, holding his own hands up to Raito. Arranging his body into more of
a diving form, Raito passed several éclairs as he dove towards the frightened detective. Grabbing hold of L's hands, he pulled L towards him, and then wrapped his arms around the detective.
They continued to fall, eyes shut and arms wrapped around each other. Raito momentarily opened his eyes to look at the approaching ground, but before he could comprehend what was going on, they had landed. Landed on a giant glazed donut.
"Raito-kun?" L asked, big innocent black eyes meeting Raito's.
"Yes, Ryuuzaki?" Raito answered, his voice barely over a whisper.
"You have some glaze on your lips." L replied, bringing his lips to Raito's. With a slight feeling of déjà vu, Raito kissed the sugar addict back and… woke up.
Raito took in his surroundings quickly, immediately regaining his grasp on reality. Looking back on his dream he wandered what was wrong with his head. Dreaming about falling and sweets was one thing, but dreaming about kissing L was just plain weird.
"Are you going to get anymore work done tonight, Raito-kun, or are you ready for bed?" L asked without taking his eyes off of the computer screen. Raito's face turned a bright red, replaying the last image in his dream over again in his head.
"I'm ready to go to bed", Raito said without facing the detective. They both turned their computers off in silence and headed to their room. After they had both changed and brushed their teeth, Raito collapsed on the bed, the handcuffs pulling L after him. They both settled under the covers and then there was silence.
Unfortunately for Raito, silence meant time to reflect. His odd dream replayed over his head, his imagination starting to fill in what would have happened if he hadn't woken up. He felt sick to his stomach as he turned his head slightly to see the detective next to him, who was now in a shallow sleep. Raito sighed and whipped a bit of cold sweat off of his forehead and tried to focus on getting to sleep.
When Raito was seconds away from falling asleep, he felt something warm on his neck. He rolled over and came face to face with a sleeping L, their faces barely three inches apart. Raito's eyes fell to the detective's slightly parted lips and watched him breathe. It had an oddly calming effect on Raito and he finally slipped into sleep.
Okay so... I'm not really sure about the whole donut dream part, but at least it seemed like a good idea at the time. Thank you for reading, and an extra thank you to all of the people who are my herosbecause theyreview.
