The sugar on his lips provided a sense of comfort as L wearily blinked. His frustrations and concerns were growing as the Kira case went unsolved. He knew exactly who Kira was, there wasn't any way possible that his deductions had flaw when it came to this. Light Yagami was Kira, but L needed more evidence to prove his theory. He sighed and adjusted his position on the bed, attempting to not disturb his sleeping Kira. He awkwardly tried to stretch his arm over Light, trying to grab another doughnut, however Light simply curled up closer to L's bare chest, his breath soft and warm. The detective silently stared at him, heart twisting. He never would have estimated that this would occur. He frowned and fell back onto the bed, giving up on reaching his sweet treat.

"I believe I might be in love." L muttered, "this is rather interesting, especially since my love is the man I've dedicated my life to bringing down. Hmm, the irony is rather amusing once one thinks about it. I've never been in a situation quite like this one." He glanced down at Light, a sad smile creeping across his face. He looked peaceful, one might dare to even say innocent. L never imagined he would use that term to describe Light Yagami. Inhaling, he slightly moved downwards, pulling Light closer into his arms. This was dangerous, he knew this for sure. But what was life without danger? Certainly not his. In his line of work, he was capable of dying any day. But as long as his calculations and assumptions were accurate, he didn't worry.

"I wonder what will happen when I do die," L wondered quietly. He had two successors in mind; Mello and Near. They were both brilliant students at Wammy's and were certainly capable of taking his place. If only the two could work together, become a team, a partnership, or anything that would unite them… Light would surely be caught and convicted within weeks. However, he knew that was nothing but yet another senseless pipedream. Mello loathed Near and Near was rather a loner. Although L was confident that Near would gladly work alongside Mello, he knew the boy would work fine alone.

"You're still awake, Ryuzaki?" Light sleepily asked.

"You may call me L, while in bed, Light."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't sure which you would prefer." He opened an eye and peered up at the detective groggily.

"You seemed set on calling me L earlier as you screamed." L smirked as Light's face turned bright red.

"L! Alright, I'll call you L. Besides," Light turned halfway up, placing a slender hand on L's cheek. "Can you blame me for screaming?" L resisted the urge to smile. L was rather experienced when it came to sex, and typically chose partners who were. Light on the other hand, had never been touched.

"How are you feeling?"

"You were right, I am a little sore but it's nothing I can't deal with." Light slowly turned over, wrapping an arm around L's waist.

"I see, you will be especially sore tomorrow. Be sure not to get into a hurry." L gently kissed his Kira's forehead. "Understand?"

"Yes,"

"Good. I will be leaving to England tomorrow. Will you be able to handle everything here?" L watched for his reaction. If he grew excited with this news, it could mean Light had plans to begin killing in his absence.

"Oh really? Why? I'll miss you." He yawned. Damn him.

"I must speak with my two successors. I could of course, do what I typically do when speaking with the children at Wammy's and speak with them over video chat. But, I would rather visit them face to face. I'm curious to see if they are actually getting along." L mumbled the last part. He noticed Light's eye twitch at the word successor. Did he not realize that L would need one? Or maybe he feared that his successor would be able to catch him?

"You have two successors?" He asked calmly, but L could hear the hint of worry in his tone.

"No, Light. I would prefer for my two options to form a partnership and both become my successors, but I know this won't happen. I have two prime choices, but I haven't picked one yet." Maybe that was a mistake to tell Light. After all, Light might panic and try to kill him sooner. Hmm...

"Ah, I understand now. But seeing as you won't die any time soon, I am not too worried about meeting either of them."

"Yes, I don't believe I will die soon, but one day I will and I will need someone to replace me."

"Let's change the subject, okay?" Light mumbled into L's chest.

"You need to sleep Light, you'll be in charge in my absence." L placed a hand on the back of Light's head, softly rubbing his hair. "But before you do go to sleep, could you hand me that doughnut that is on the nightstand?" Light rolled over, opening the box of Krispy Kremes and extracted a lemon filled treat. "Thank you."

"Your welcome," Light pulled the blankets up to his chest, eyes shutting.

"Pleasent dreams," L whispered.

Thanks for reading! I didn't really like this chapter...at all...actually. The second chapter should be up soon and it will be longer and better. I hope you enjoyed~
