Rating: PG

A/N: Yaoi. Light/L pairing.

"Good evening Light." L forces himself to smile at the boy he suspects of being Kira. They had been discussing the Kira case and exchanging their usual banter, a show of wits, after class and Light finally made an excuse to leave.

"Good night." A friendly smile spreads easily on to the other boy's face. He has become accustomed to acting in front of his enemy. He can sit through class or coffee with him and appear to be completely at ease…the majority of the time.

However sometimes are different. Sometimes, when L sits curled up in a chair, looking so vulnerable Light can't help but want to shout at him or hit him for trying to appear so innocent. Neither of them is innocent. Neither of them value human life. They play their game for their own selfish ends. Trying to prove themselves as above the rest of humanity.

Light watches as L walks along with him towards the limo he takes everywhere. His finger absently travels to his mouth, a particular habit of his, and it annoys him further. He watches intensely as the finger remains in L's mouth, slowly sliding back and forth over his lips as he looks up at Light with wide child like eyes. He can't stand it anymore. No one is around and L's car is parked on the other side of the street, he can finally do what he's wanted since first meeting the irritating man in person.

With lightening sharp reflexes he shoves him against the nearest car and pins L's wrists to his sides. His mouth quickly covers the struggling boy's and his tongue invades the space his finger previously occupied.

L doesn't struggle. He gives in to Light, finally allows him to win and kisses him back zealously. Both may be equally stubborn, but this once L gives in and submits to a boy worthy of being called his equal. After all, he can allow Light to win one battle in a war that the infamous L will surely win.

End.
