"It looks great." Light said, watching L place the final house under the tree.

"Almost perfect." L replied, adjusting The tiny train station. He took a step back to admire his work. "Now Watari will set up the train. Any gifts will go under the tree Christmas eve. They make the town took crowded and even smaller than it actually is. " light nodded.

"Yeah, I guess they would...speaking of presents, I probably shouldn't ask, but I have no idea what to get you and Watari for Christmas.. Can you give me some ideas?" L shook his head.

"Watari is very difficult to shop for. What do you give a person who can buy whatever he wants for himself?"

" My dad's kind of like that,except it's more like he has pretty much everything already. What do you usually do? "

"I make him presents. Each one is made with love,and he seems to enjoy them. Though I admit that I have no idea what to do this year."

" Maybe we can head to the mall and look for some ideas,just the two of us. We don't get much time to ourselves. We're always around everyone else. Let's take the the opportunity, It can only help make the relationship stronger." L sighed.

"I don't like the mall. This time of year I am fairly sure it will be over crowded and_" Light pulled him close, resting his forehead against L's.

"I know you don't. I'm not fond of the idea either. If we go on a weekday, there won't be as many people. We can take our time, have some ice cream, there's a place that sells ice cream on top of a brownie, you'll love it. I'll be there the whole time and you won't have to worry about anything. I'll take care of you."

"You do know I can-" Light kissed him softly.

"I know you can, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to look after you too. It's part of being in love. Anyway, if I took you out and didn't look after you, Watari would probably shoot my face off." Light teased.

"That's ridiculous, Watari would never shoot your face off." L replied, pulling away slightly.

"You really don't think so?" Light asked skeptically.

"Of course not." This time it was L who pressed his lips to Light's briefly. "Watari aims a little higher." The dark haired man turned to walk away.

"Well that's comforting," Light commented sarcastically. L stopped, turning to him once again.

"Of course," L began thoughtfully. "You would be a special case. I'm sure he-"

"You love messing with me, don't you?" Without a word, L made his way into the hall. Light followed close behind.

"Hey, where are y-"

"I told you, Watari has to set up the train. We should let him know we've finished our part. Also, if you plan on taking a day off this week, it would be a good idea to let both Watari and your father know. Also, if you want just the two of us to go out, we will be needing transportation. Watari may let me take one of the cars." Light stopped.

"You can drive?" He asked in surprise.

"Yes Light. There are many things about me you have not yet discovered. Some you may never know."

"How many cars does Watari have exactly?"

"I myself don't know the exact number. He keeps them in various storage places. I don't ask to borrow them often as he usually takes me anywhere I ask. There's no guarantee I'll be able to talk him into it."

"If not, He'll drop us off, won't he?"

"That would be our next step. Especially during the holidays, with more people around, it can be unnerving. The best course of action would be to let me talk to him, be prepared, he may have a few words for you."

"Fair enough. We'll say...Wednesday. That way there's still a couple of days notice." Light suggested.

"Yes. It may take me about that long to convince Watari."

"I'll talk to Dad today, are you coming with me to visit them?" L sighed.

"Maybe next time, there is still so much to do." Light pulled him close.

"I understand. You have a lot going on. When I come back, I'll help you. You don't have to do it all on your own."

"I would appreciate it. Sometimes it is very difficult."

"I'm sure it is. You have me now, so it's not just the two of you. Whatever you need, just ask me. I love you."

"I love you too." L said, remaining still for a moment, leaning into the younger man.

"Light?"

"Yeah?"

"You should probably let me go, You're going to be late."

"Maybe, but I love being able to hold you like this. Mom and Dad are walking distance. We have time." Light tightened his grip. The peaceful moment was soon interrupted by Light's phone ringing. He released L with a frown pulling the device from his pocket.

"It's Sayu. I don't know why she can't wait until I get there." The younger man complained.

"You should answer it. It's probably best for you to go. I'll get as much done as I can. You and I can have some time together after dinner."

"I just wish we had a little more." Light kissed L softly.

"I'll be home as soon as I can." He added, walking past L, holding his phone to his ear. The dark haired man wandered into the kitchen where he found Watari seated at the table.

"The town is ready, Watari." The old man smiled.

"Good. I'll set up the train shortly. We'll get started on everything else after that and I'll make you some hot chocolate."

"I would like that very much." L admitted, looking away from his handler briefly.

"Watari?"

"Yes, Love?"

"May I talk to you about something?" Watari pulled out the chair next to him.

"You know you can always come to me. Sit down, let's talk about it."
