Chapter One:

Six months later:

Lying on the bed, staring at the older man, and hoping the other will not leave this time, Raito asks, "Don't you get tired of criminals running lose?"

Opening his eyes, L glances over the other man and sighs, "I know where Raito is taking this. Kira was an evil creature who only put fear into people."

"Wow, so I'm an evil creature then."

"Raito was." L responds back. When he notices the hurt within honey eyes, he sits up in bed. Leaning forward, he mumbles, "Drop the topic, Raito."

"No."

"Raito is so stubborn."

Raito sighs annoyed and turns away from the older man. He wants to know why was it so wrong in putting an end to criminals who would only do the same crime again. Justice was never served. When he feels fingers run across his arms, he whispers, "Stop, they are ugly."

Kissing each scar adoring Raito's arms, L responds, "They make you human." When Raito turns his head to stare at him, he goes on to tell the younger man, "One human cannot control the world. It would never work. Each person has a good and a bad side to them."

"Kira was doing good for the world."

Sighing out loud, L shakes his head sadly and replies, "All he was doing was making everyone live in fear. That is not justice at all." Pulling the younger man against him, he whispers into Raito's ear, "Kira thought himself to be a god, but sadly he was only human. Maybe he was smarter than a lot of people but he was still human."

Feeling L's naked skin against his own, Raito asks, "Will we ever be together; together?"

Nipping at Raito's neck, L hums, "We will have to see about that. School first though."

"I can do school online and still be the top student." Raito replies back, trying to ignore L's lips over his sensitive skin.

Pulling back, L doesn't know what to say or how to explain. All his life he has been alone except Watari being there. As he runs his fingers over the scars again, he mutters, "My life is dangerous. I do not wish Raito to be harmed because of me."

Without turning around to face the older man, Raito feels the sorrow by those words. He wants to be with L no matter the risks. Sadly, he knows deep inside he can never convince the older man to take him along. As his eyes close to the wonderful sensation of L running his fingers along his body, he whispers truthfully, "It hurts when you leave."

"I told Raito it would cause him more pain staying with me."

Curling closer to L, Raito responds sadly, "I know and still I don't want this to end. It makes my life more fun."

As he holds Raito closer, L replies, "Raito could find himself a nice man who could treat him so much better than I ever could, who will be there for him all the time." Deep inside he wants the other to say it will never happen but he has to point out things to the younger man before this relationship goes any further.

Enjoying the warmth he missed for months, Raito tells L, "It would never be the same. I doubt there would be anyone who thinks like me." Turning around to face the detective, he continues to be honest for the first time in his life, "I hate to admit it but I need you in my life even if it is for short periods of time."

His heart warms to hear such words coming from a prideful man like Raito. As he lifts Raito's head, he leans forward and kisses those sweet lips. When he pulls back, L replies, "I need you too."

Laying his head on L's chest, hearing the heart beat, Raito asks, "How long do you have here?"

While running his fingers through Raito's hair, enjoying their time together, L answers, "I have to leave tomorrow morning."

"So soon."

"It is my life."

As he lifts his head, Raito stares at the only person who causes him happiness and pain at the same time. He wants to tell the detective that he wants him to stay but he knows it will never work. Laying his head back onto L's chest, he mumbles, "I'll wait, Lawliet."

'One day you might get tired of waiting.' L thinks but keeps his mouth shut. It is not the time to start an argument. It is time to spend the time he has with his love one. As he runs his hands down smooth naked skin, he whispers, "I'm sorry." This is how their relationship is. Raito will bring up the Kira topic, about them being together for good, ask how long he will stay, and if he is forgiven. His responses are the same to every question.

Without looking up, Raito asks the one question that means the world to him once again, "Do you forgive me for being Kira?"

Closing his eyes, L whispers, "Yes." It might not be a perfect relationship but he couldn't care about that. He enjoys the times he has with the younger man. Maybe one day, he will offer Raito the job of being the next Watari. After all, Watari isn't getting any younger. Besides, Raito could help him solve cases.

As he climbs on top of the detective, watching those dark emotionless eyes open, Raito leans forward with a smirk adoring his face. When he gets about an inch away from L's lips, he whispers, "Then I think we should have more fun before you leave." Turning his head away, he leans forward, licking at L's pale neck, enjoying the feel of the other man. If L can forgive him for being Kira, then he can forgive the detective for faking his death.

Running his fingers through brown locks, L hisses as he feels Raito bite down on his neck, marking him Raito's. When Raito leans back up, he asks, "Do you enjoy marking me?"

Flopping back onto the bed, curling closer to the detective, Raito mumbles groggily, "Making sure everyone knows that you belong to someone."

Chuckling loudly, L remarks, "I do not meet anyone."

"Just in case." Raito mutters while his eyes shut. Tomorrow he will be left alone like always but he will take the memories with him everyday. He will feel the sorrow but at the same time he knows that he has L. Before he closes his eyes, he hears his cell phone ring loudly. Sitting up in bed, he reaches over and grabs the phone. Who could be calling this late? Seeing his family's number, he answers, "Hello."

His mother's voice rings out in distress, "Oh Raito. Raito, your father… he… he had a heart attack again."

Those words ring in his head loudly and Raito tries to calm down but can't seem to. Hearing his mother's crying voice, he asks, "Is he at the hospital?"

His mother cries, "He didn't… didn't make it."

Everything stops and even L's presence doesn't stop his world from tearing apart. Shutting his eyes, Raito calmly speaks, "I'll be home soon, mom." After her sad farewell, he looks over at the detective to see concern. Collapsing against the older man, he mutters, "My dad… my dad is gone. He had a… a heart attack."

Notes: Well here is the first chapter. Please tell me what u think.
