A/N: Guess what? I uploaded! Oh my gosh, it's the appocalipse! Here is my first ever Death Note fic! Slight yaoi up ahead so if you don't like that kind of stuff, don't read this fic.

Disclaimer: I don't own Light or L or any part of Death Note (no matter how much I want to). The plot bunny, however, is mine.

Useless Night

L never understood why everyone thought sleeping was so great. He didn't see the point in being dead to the world for a few hours, when there were more important things to do, such as solving the Kira case. Yet he found himself sitting in a bedroom with nothing to do except wait for the sun to rise. He really should have listened to Light-kun when he said that he could stay awake for another night, but sometimes L is too empathetic for his own good. Light had looked about ready to fall asleep at the computer, so what else was he supposed to do? Although, if he had known that Light-kun was going to sleep for so long, he might have brought some paperwork.

The handcuff chain jingled slightly as Light shifted in his sleep. Suddenly, the chain gave a huge tug and L was pulled out of his armchair, landing sprawled on the bed. He realized, after the shock had worn off, that somehow the chain had gotten wrapped around Light as he turned in his sleep, and as Light had shifted again, it had yanked L off of his chair. L couldn't see how he could get the chain untangled, so he decided to wake Light up.

"Yagami-kun."

No response.

Yagami-Kun!"

Still nothing.

"Light-kun!"

Light twitched in his sleep.

"Kira!"

"What?! Where?!" Light tried to jump up, but only succeeded in falling off of the bed, pulling L with him.

"Ouch," said Light. "Why did you wake me up, Ryuzaki?"

"You're tangled in the chain and you pulled me out of my chair."

"Well you could have just shaken me. At least we wouldn't be on the floor. Geez, and they call you a genius," Light grumbled. "And could you please get off of me? I can't move."

L realized that he was sort of straddling Light and immediately rolled off of him. Light proceeded to unwind himself from the constricting chain. After both of them were completely untangled, Light climbed back into the bed and instantly fell back asleep.

L crouched down in his chair and looked over at Light. The stress that L was so used to seeing on his face has disappeared, and he actually looked quite peaceful.

"Stop staring at me," said the supposedly asleep Light. L jumped with shock and the chain rattled conspicuously. L saw Light smile, and he unconsciously nibbled on his thumb in embarrassment.

"You're really cute sometimes, you know?" Light said drowsily, and then promptly fell asleep. L felt his cheeks heat up with a slight blush.

'Okay, maybe sleep wasn't so bad after all,' thought L.
