"Can Raito-kun pass me that sheet of paper please?" a young man, no older than twenty asked. He had this dazed sort of look about him. As if he was stoned. He had raven black hair that shinned in the dim office light, covering half of his porcelain-like face. He was sitting very oddly on a red cushion and reaching for a piece of chocolate from a big platter covered in all kinds of sweets.

"This is the 27th time you have asked me for a sheet of paper Ryuuzaki, why don't you just get a pile and be done with it?" Raito answered, his voice clearly showed that he was irritated. Unlike Ryuuzaki, Raito was tanned with bright auburn eyes and mahogany hair. "Besides, I'm tired, I wanna go to bed." He yawned just to prove it.

"Not yet Raito, I still need to finish this." Ryuuzaki said and pointed at a tower of little paper cubes. "And you should stop sleeping so much; it's bad for my health." His monotonous voice echoed in the big office space. Well, it wasn't really an office; it was more like a big kitchen with computers and hi-tech security gadgets. Ryuuzaki loved sweets. That's all he ever ate... The walls were a horrible grey colour. He had often complained about the awful colour, but his protests were ignored, because Watari said that people will get distracted if the colours are bright.

It had been their home for the past three months; Ever since Raito got out of his cell. Even tho he wasn't in a cell anymore, he still felt like a prisoner. He was chained to Ryuuzaki (also known as L) every second of every day, ever since he got out, because he was suspected of being the infamous KIRA.

"Ryuuuuuuzaaakiiiiii" Raito whined. He was getting quite good at whining, since Ryuuzaki was a very difficult person to live with. "I'm sleeeepyy"

"Seriously, Raito-kun, get a grip over yourself. Seven percent." Ryuuzaki sighed and got up from his chair. "Lets go to bed then." He pulled the chain, making Raito fall off his chair. He growled at him and got up quickly, brushing non-existent dirt off his neat, dark brown trousers. Everything was kept so clean, there you couldn't find any dirt what so ever; no matter how hard you looked.

Raito

How long am I going to have to endure this? Ryuuzaki has insomnia, so he doesn't sleep as much as me, but we are kinda chained together, so either I don't get much sleep or Ryuuzaki is in a bad mood the following day. And I am sick of the smell of sugar. It's disgusting. EW... just thinking about it makes me want to gag.

Thank god we have a king sized bed; Made especially for us. Its like two double beds put together, so that we are comfortable, or as comfortable a person can get while being chained to another person. Do you hear this? This is me losing my ability to be sarcastic, since Ryuuzaki takes everything so litterally.

We headed up the stairs silently. We didn't talk as much anymore, knowing each other so well, since we were together ALL THE TIME. The only time we actually had a conversation, was when Matsuda did something stupid and we had to discuss what we were going to do with him. I guess I kinda miss the talking.

"Raito is my friend, isn't he?" Ryuuzaki suddenly broke the eerie silence that had been bothering me. The question surprised me. Of course I was his friend, but it wasn't just the question that was strange, it was the way he asked me. His voice wasn't monotonous as usual, it was something different.

"Yes." I answered simply, not quite knowing where this was going.

He didn't say anything else until we were in our room; then he turned and faced me, with a questioning look on his face. "Why is Raito my friend?" he tilted his head to the side and took his hands out of his pockets.

"I... I don't... I don't know..." I managed to stammer. His question threw me off my guard. I am usually aware of something Ryuuzaki is going to say before he says it out loud, since we think almost the same things all the time. Well, why ishe my friend? I don't know myself. Is it his charm? Is Ryuuzaki even charming? I don't know... we have been so close to each other for so long that I guess I had grown comfortable with him, always by my side.

"Well. I guess that's ok." Ryuuzaki said, looking down at his toes. He turned around and crawled into the bed, pulling me after him. The bed was a HUGE four poster. It was rich blue sort of colour. I crawled in as well. There was lots of space in between us. I knew Ryuuzaki wouldn't fall asleep for another hour or so. It used to totally creep me out, thinking that he could be watching me sleep. I let sleep wash over me. taking me to a happy place. Okay, Fine, I admit it, i mostly dream about Ryuuzaki, but it doesn't matter. It's not like I'm in love with him or anything... sleep...

*Raito has gone to sleep and a few hours have passed*

I felt something shake next to me. Then I heard a quiet strangled sob coming from Ryuuzaki's side. I opened my eyes, but that didn't help. It was completely dark. Rolling over I noticed that the shaking had stopped and it had been just a dream. I stayed facing Ryuuzaki, couldn't be asked to turn around again. Several minutes passed and I was still awake. My eyes refused to close. The sleep has disappeared.

"Raito..." I heard Ryuuzaki whisper. I was about to ask him what was the matter, but he continued talking. "I don't know what to do. The chance of you being kira is seven percent. And I am getting closer to you every day. You are my friend, my best friend, my only friend. And I don't know what I am going to do without you. If your not kira, then you will have to leave sooner or later; if you are, then I am afraid that I am going to be the one to lead you to your death. Please. Just tell me what to do?" another sob broke out of his chest. I couldn't move. If I moved or said something, he would know that I was listening. I decided to just stay still for a while.

"Why do you do this to me?" I could hear pain in his voice. "This is why I didn't have any friends, its always hard saying goodbye to them." He pulled the covers over his face. I couldn't take it anymore. I moved closer. We still weren't touching. I slowly tried to find where he was. I traced my hand under the covers somewhere around he should be. When my hand came in contact with the soft material of his shirt, I heard him gasp. Ryuuzaki froze.

I moved even closer, now our knees were touching. I moved my hand up and touched his shoulder, wrapping my arm around him and pulling him towards me. He was motionless. I hugged him close to me. "It's ok. We'll get through this." that was all I said. He slowly moved his arm up and placed it around me.

"Sumimasen." He whispered. And buried his head in my chest. We both fell asleep like this. I dreamt about Ryuuzaki. His wild black hair... His beautiful grey eyes...

Ryuuzaki

god, I feel so childish. Why the hell do I have to cry in front of Raito? Now, he is going to avoid me; not talk to me at all. This is ridiculous. I am getting all soppy near him. Its just the thought of never seeing him again, that rips me apart. I don't think I will keep on being a detective if Raito ends up being kira. I couldn't take it.

And now his arms are around me. I can feel him breath onto my neck. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Its so peaceful, listening to him breath. Watari warned me about this... he knows I'm not exactly straight, but I didn't listen to him. He is afraid I will fall in love with Raito. If I do then I will be useless. There will be no room for me on the kira investigation.

Raito began to breathe more slowly, proving that he is asleep. I love the way his arms are around me. I cant help it. His beating heart is making me want to stay like this forever... argh, its no use. Watari was right. I should probably just give up. Buy a house near some random beach and then relax for a while... In times like this, when I can't stop thinking about something, i really wish i could sleep. For times like this I keep sleeping pills between the two mattresses. I reached for them, opened the bottled and tipped the contents of it in my mouth. I think I swallowed about twenty, because I fell asleep immediatly.
