Light sat at his desk not writing in Death Note, but doing a report for one of his collage classes. It was rather easy of course. Ryuk was laying on his bed muching on a apple as always, bored again. Light got used to the death god staring at him. It used to annoy him.

"Hey Light? Why don't you stop with the homework and write in Death Note?" Ryuk asked breaking the long silence.

"I will tomorrow, but if I write in it now I might even be more suspected than I already am. After all I've been writing in a lot lately."

"Well that didn't stop you from writing in it before."

Light sighed.

"Thats because L is getting closer to finding out that I'm Kira so now I have to be extra careful. Once I avert his thinking once again I'll write in it like I used to."

"Well its your life on the line and not mine." Ryuk said doing his usual chuckle.

It still kind of creeped Light out when he did that laugh for some reason though what could you expect from a Shinigami. It was now 11:00 pm and Light was finished with his report. It was due in two days though he wanted to get it done so he didn't have to worry about it. Plus he also had to visit L at the hotel tomorrow. Thank goddness he didn't have any classes that day. He sighed folding his arms on his desk and resting his head on them. He had two things that he was hiding from L. One he was Kira and two he loved L. He didn't know how, but he did. L though never did seem like the kind to want to be in that kind of relationship. Plus if he ever did want to what would he think when he found he was Kira? That thought was burned in his mind and was the thing he thought of most.

No one knew of this secret and Light hoped no one would. If Ryuk knew of it he wouldn't let Light live it down.

"What are you thinking about?" Ryuk asked him.

"Nothing."

Ryuk didn't say anything in reply. Instead he got off the bed and went to the window. He was going out as usual just to fly at random. As soon as he was gone Light crawled into bed and a few minutes later and fell asleep.

The Next Day

Light stayed home till 4:30 pm before he left to the hotel. Ryuk followed him as always.

"I wonder whats going to happen today." Ryuk said.

"Nothing out of the ordinary. I'm just going to make L's percent of me being Kira go down."

"Heh...Good luck with that, but you know that when you get that down sooner or later though his percent gets higher than before."

"I know. I'm thinking of something right now."

Ryuk chuckled. "This day might be interesting."

Light and Ryuk made there way to the hotel room. No one else was there except for L of course. He was looking at papers on the coffee table while he was eating his usual strawberry cake.

"Where is everyone?" Light asked as his took his jacket off and hung it on the hook.

"I decided to give them the day off." L said said with his thumb on his lips.

"The day off?" Light asked approching him looking a bit confused.

"Yes." L said simply.

Light then thought of what L could be thinking. L wanted to be alone with Light to observe him like a lab rat. To see if he would slip up and then his percent would go higher or else...L would figure out he was Kira. He kept a calm face, but his inner self was a bit nervous, but he would just have to be extra careful. Plus it could also be his advantage. He could gain L's trust more and more and then get clues on L's real name. So it could be either ones advantage or disadvantage.

Light then looked at the papers on the table. He saw the notes about the death gods and apples plus victims photos, times they died and lots of other things of evidence.

"Why are you looking over old evidence? Think you missed something?"

"Basically yes even though I've looked through it ten times or more. Though its helping."

"How so?"

"Well we know that Kira can control how they die, when they die, and what they do before they die. So Kira can say they died a day, a week, a month later. So while he may be doing something else he could be killing someone."

"Hows that? It already seems strange that he has these powers. Hes only human after all."

"Thats our main problem. I've been thinking of ways he could be killing them, but theres not many ways. Kira is winning this."

Light smirked on the inside. He liked hearing he was winning, but that one thought appeared in his head again making it go.

"If you think like that he will win and we can't allow that to happen." Light said.

"I know that." L said.

Light looked closer at him. L looked like he was losing hope and solving the case. Light didn't like the look.

"L?"

"Yes Light?"

"Would you come to the roof with me?"

L tilted his head a bit then nodded in agreement.

They made their way to the roof of the hotel. L not wearing shoes as always. Since L was a bit behind Light whispered to Ryuk so L couldn't hear him about his plan. Ryuk chuckled.

As soon as they got there Light stood across from L.

"So what did you bring me up here for?"

Light dug in his pocket. It was a piece of Death Note that he kept just in case. He held it in his hand then walked closer to L. His face was close to his. L looked a bit surprised at his closeness, but didn't back down.

"L, did you know Death Gods love apples?" He whispered in his ear.

Then he put the peice of the paper in his hand. His eyes widened.

"L-Light?"

Light then gave L a soft kiss on his cheek and as soon as he did Ryuk came from behind as Light lifted his arm and took hold of Ryuk's long arm flying over the edge with the setting sun. He was gone.

L went to the edge in complete shock and surprise. Light was Kira. He was 100 sure. He then touched his cheek. He could still feel Light's lips on his skin.
