Summary: L was the world's greatest detective, And he was determined to find the world's greatest criminal. When Christmas arrives, all L wants is to work on the Kira Case. But of course, things can never be that simple when concerning Raito-Kun.
Snow.
The frozen flakes fell everywhere. They created a bright expanse of white. Drowned everything with its graceful decent. Looks like this year they would be having a white Christmas.
The young brunette was a little disappointed when he turned from the window to find absolutely no decorations. What the heck! It was the holidays and they didn't have any lights, or wreathes, or even some mistletoe. They didn't even have a tree set up.
Nobody even bothered to greet him as he entered with L. Well at least there was some form of holiday spirit in their attire. Everyone was at least wearing something that consisted of either red or green.
They worked on the Kira case in silence. Nobody made any progress, and soon the Japanese task force left the building. All on their way home to enjoy Christmas with their families. All except for Raito and L, whom were handcuffed together.
"Come on. Let's go somewhere" said Raito.
"And why should we do that?"
"Come on Ryuzaki. It's Christmas! We should be celebrating the joy of the holidays like everyone else."
"Holidays are meant to be spent with friends and family. I have neither, so there is no reason for me to celebrate."
That hit Raito hard. He should have expected it from L, but for some reason he hadn't. The comment should not have affected him. It wasn't like they were friends. But... It hurt none the less.
"Come on. It'll be fun" Raito declared as he attempted to drag the dark haired detective away from the computer.
"I don't want to" he whined, pulling away from the brown haired cutie. Wait... Cutie? What was he thinking? Raito wasn't cute. But as he glared at the younger boy, he couldn't help but think that Raito looked absolutely adorable with his round, innocent, hazel eyes.
"Just this once can't we do something other than work on the case."
"No."
Raito pouted. How could L be so cruel as to not let him enjoy the holiday. He would do practically anything to be able to receive some holiday cheer. Alright, he knew fighting would get him nowhere, since it hadn't gotten him anywhere before. Maybe he could try begging. Oh god. This was going to be totally embarrassing.
"Please L."
L took one look to see what was up with Raito. Big mistake. Raito was looking at the raven haired male with teary eyes. Damn it. He could not say no to a Raito that looked like he would die if he said anything other than yes. "Don't give me that look."
Another big mistake, now Raito knew that it was working. "Please Ryuzaki."
L knew he had lost. "Fine."
"Yes!" cried Raito as he unexpectedly tackled the other with a hug. "You will not regret this." Then Raito released L from his arms, and grabbed a hold of the elders hand. "Let's go!"
And so, a blushing L was dragged away from his computer by an overly excited Raito-Kun.
The first stop was at the center of the city so they could watch the Christmas parade. L watched as a float with a fat man in a red coat passed by, Santa Claus, L assumed. He looked over at his companion. Raito-Kun was obviously thrilled to see all those floats, especially the one of the snow queen with all it's simplicity of white and blue lights. L personally enjoyed the gingerbread float, based off the story Hansel and Gretel.
Afterwords they made their way a little south to see the towns Christmas tree. It was rather pretty with it's multicolored lights and rounded ornaments. The tree had a large star at the top that changed colors. It went from white to yellow, from blue to red, from green to white again.
When they were finished with staring at the beauty that was an evergreen, the duo left for a restaurant, meaning to obtain dinner. He saw it as they walked to their table. Mistletoe. It hung there above the table. L blushed for a second time that day. He knew well the tradition of mistletoe. If two people were under it at the same exact moment, they were supposed to kiss. Raito didn't seem to know, that, or he just did not care, for he sat underneath the offending plant. L just stood there. What was he to do?
"Um... Ryuzaki, is something wrong?"
"Uh, no." L hesitantly sat at the table.
The waitress took their orders and left snickering. "What's with her?"
All L did was turn away a blush on his face and point up. Raito followed the direction in which the finger pointed. "Oh." Raito bent his head down to the table, his face flaming. "Well um..." He hesitated in what he was about to ask.
L turned back to Raito-Kun. "G-go on."
"Shall we... kiss?"
L gulped, then very slowly he nodded. Raito looked a little shocked. So, naturally, L took the initiative. He reached up to cup Raito's face and very tenderly pressed his lips against Raito's. It was nice, L decided. Very nice.
