A/N: I'm a little nervous about how people will react to this story... So, tell me what you think. I'm planning on continuing it.
I'm not sure how to classify this story. Satire, perhaps? I suppose that it is kind of a satire on shounen-ai... Even though I am a fan of shounen-ai. Yeah, that's why I'm afraid. xD

Light's fingers flew across the keyboard. Metallic clicks could be heard every now and then as the handcuffs jingled. L watched him silently, taking a sip of his coffee. He let the hot liquid swirl around in his mouth for a moment before he swallowed it. Needs more sugar, he thought. He began dropping cubes into the beverage at a steady rate, until it was more sugar than coffee.

"Any ideas, Ryuzaki?" It took him a few moments to realize that Light was speaking to him. He looked up.

"I think that there is a high possibility that Kira has passed on his powers to someone else," L replied. He took a sip of his beverage; his gaze still rested on Light. "This Kira is…" His words suddenly stopped in his throat, and a look that Light couldn't place overtook his features.

"Ryuzaki! Are you all right?" Light instinctively raced over to where the detective was sitting, as if expecting him to fall from his seat any minute.

L looked deep into Light's eyes and smiled oddly. "Yes, I am completely fine. I just had a strange feeling come over me just now."

"What kind of feeling?" Light asked. His eyes were gentle. Probably found another reason to think that I'm Kira, Light thought somewhat bitterly. When is he going to give up on that theory? I'm not Kira! Why can't he just accept the evidence? He eyed the detective curiously. Wait, is he blushing? That's odd…

"Just a moment ago, I couldn't help but think that you are an extremely attractive young man," L said, looking down at the ground. "But that has nothing to do with this case."

"What?!" Light was usually good at hiding his emotions, but this caught him completely off guard. His eyes widened. "Are you saying…"

"Yes," L replied, stirring his coffee with a spoon. "For that one, brief moment, I felt an attraction for you. To tell the truth, it hasn't gone away."

"We're here to catch Kira,. We don't have time to get distracted," Light said. "If you want to tell me that you're gay and that you like me, it can wait until after…"

"Yes, Light?" L looked up into his eyes. Light looked as if he had seen a ghost. His beautiful brown eyes were widened in shock; his mouth looked as if it was trying to form words, but could not quite get them out.
"R-Ryuzaki," Light breathed when his vocals decided to work. "I feel the same way."

"Yes, I suspected that you would say that," L replied calmly, still looking into Light's eyes. Light nodded. Yeah, I had a suspicion that I would say that too. There's nothing I can do right now, so I'll just play along.

The two young men eyed each other for a beat. Each one could see the wheels in the other's head turning. In that moment, it was as if a magnet was drawing them together. Before long, their lips had met.

The kiss seemed to last forever, although it could not have been more than a few minutes. At last, they both pulled away at the same time, smiling at each other.

"Ryuzaki," Light addressed the other.

"Yes?"

"This is a trap."

"Yes."

It doesn't matter if I can't see her, she can hear me. I have to find a way out of this without making her suspicious. Light's expression was that of pleasure, but L could tell that this was just a mask.

L smiled. Of course, you're as sharp as always, Light. But what are you planning to do next? You do seem to enjoy going against gods… Well, of course you do. After all, you are Kira.

"We shouldn't be doing this here," Light said. "There are video cameras all over this building; someone might be watching.

"You're right, Light," L replied, licking his lips. Ew, I can still taste Light. I can still feel it, though; this isn't over yet. It seems that Light already has something in mind. What is your plan, Kira? I think I'll play along for now, until I think up something better.

"Now isn't the time for this. We need to catch Kira," Light said, walking over to the computer. Do you understand what I mean, L?

"Yes, there will be time for love later," L agreed, following Light. He watched over his shoulder, smiling when he realized what was on the screen.

"Look," Light said, pointing at the screen. "On most of these Kira fan sites, many of his followers are young women. A lot of them even write fiction stories about Kira. They call it fanfiction."

"I've heard of this," L nodded. He looked at the screen closely, breathing on the back of Light's neck. "Most of these here seem to be what is known as shounen-ai, or boy-love."

"That's exactly it," Light said, clicking on one of them. "The odd thing is, look at this author. She has written a lot of shounen-ai involving Kira. But a few months ago, she stopped writing completely. She hasn't updated her profile since then, either. And she's not the only author like that. It's like they've vanished all of the sudden."

"Are you trying to say that they may have been killed by Kira?" L asked, his thumb on his lip. "But not all of the authors have vanished. In fact, the ones that are still writing are all usernames that didn't exist until after your confinement."

"You're not still determined that I'm Kira, are you?" Light sighed. This is no time to be my enemy, L! Don't you understand? Right now, this is more important than trying to find Kira. Besides, we won't be able to catch Kira until we catch this person first.

"Not at all," L replied. Don't worry, Light, I understand the situation. I'm not really going to expose you as Kira. Not yet, anyway. This is a more important issue. But how long can we keep this up before she finds out what we're up to? "If you were Kira, you would have killed me, not kissed me."

"Good point," Light said softly. His looked back at the screen. "Yes, I think Kira might have something to do with this. In fact, I think that Kira could be disguising himself as a fanfiction writer."

"What makes you think that?" L looked up at Light, pondering him with his large eyes.

"No one would suspect Kira to write fanfics about himself," Light stated. "It's the perfect cover. He might be able to find out rumors about the case from other fanfic writers. He wouldn't write anything that would reveal his identity, though. He's too smart for that. Instead, he would be some writer that no one's ever heard of. He may have a few fans, but for the most part, he would just float around and read other people's Kira stories. Someone like this author." Light pointed to a name on the screen.

"The Cannibal God?" L read aloud. He smiled. "I think you're right, Light. This would be the perfect cover for Kira. No one would think that this person is Kira. But they could be. Especially since unlike other Kira shounen-ai fans, this user has been around for quite some time."

"I'm going to send this person an e-mail. A fan letter won't be too suspicious. " Light said, frantically typing something. L strained to see what it was.

Dear Author,
I read your story and I absolutely loved it! Light and L has got to be the hottest match-up ever! You should write more fics on this couple. But… I think it would be even hotter if you had some kind of a twist next time. Like, say, they realized that they were in a fanfic and found a way out of it. That would be unique! Ha! You thought we were that easy? How dare you call yourself a fan!

Light and L both looked at each other and smiled. Of course, there was no reason to actually send the e-mail. Their enemy had been there the entire time, watching them. But she's not nearly as smart as we are, Light mused. Probably some stupid high school student who draws anime characters in her spiral during class.

The reply came almost as soon as they had written the e-mail.

Light and Ryuzaki,
So you figured it out, eh? I knew that you would; you guys are smart. That's why I'm a fan, of course! Actually, I'm in college. Yes, I do draw in my spiral during class sometimes, but only because the class is easy for me! I may not be as smart as you, but I do have certain advantages...

Light's heart sank into his stomach. She knows what I'm thinking! Well, it makes sense that she would, but…

"Well, I suppose there's no use trying to fool her anymore," L sighed. He grinned. "Author, we will stop you! Justice will prevail!
