Disclaimer-If I owned Death Note then L and Light would be the bestests buddies evuh! BFFAE!

A/N: This must be the quickest update I have ever done…..enjoy!


Ch2.

When the cuffs were placed on their wrists, Light immediately tried to think of all the bad things that could and most likely would happen to prevent some situations. But he forgot one little detail…actually a big one, until it was too late.

"Goodnight!" Matsuda waved at the two who were chained together by their computers. L had allowed the whole taskforce to go home and sleep, required they got back at 9 am sharp. It was two o'clock in the morning so everyone started to leave…well everyone but L's chained counterpart.

The teen resisted the urge to slam his head on the desk. He forgot that he had to, as Ryuk had put it, "have a sleepover with the greatest detective in the whole world." Of course even if Light had remembered, there was nothing he could do about the sleeping arrangements. Knowing the detective's mind, seeing as it was almost the same as his own, Light knew that L would not take off the handcuffs for anything. So the young man could only assume that they would be sharing a room.

But the more Light the thought about it the more he dreaded it. What if L would not allow him to sleep? After all, the detective was an insomniac so perhaps he will not go to sleep and being the bastard that he was, he would probably not let Light sleep.

He shook his head. No, it actually made more sense to let him sleep than keep him awake. If Light was asleep then L wouldn't have to keep a watch on him.

Light was snapped back as his father put two hands on his shoulders. "Goodnight son. See you tomorrow. Try to have a goodnight's sleep. God knows you need one." The teen nodded and with that his father let go, walking towards the rest of the team who waved goodnight to the two staying. The young man waved while the detective kept his eyes on the screen in front of him, waving his hand once in goodbye to the rest. Light's father was the last one seen as he closed the door. Everything was now silent except for the low hum of the computers. Light shifted uncomfortably in his chair. He did not want to bring up the subject of sleeping, lest L retaliates by saying that Raito could not sleep anymore.

L saw Raito tense as everything got quiet with the absence of the others. For a moment, L basked in the silence. He often worked alone because he did not enjoy the noise people often make, it annoyed him. This case proved to be big if L actually was working with people. L did not work with people. It just didn't happen.

He heard a yawn come from the end of his chain and slowly turned to look at Raito.

Light's eyes widened as he realized what he had done. He had yawned! Outloud! He had noticed how the detective was enjoying the soundless room and tried to make little noise so as not to get him in a bad mood that will prevent him from sleep. But his scheduled time for sleep was past overdue.(1) So a yawn had escaped. And now the raven was looking at him.

You know what, I don't care! If I can't even yawn then he's even more heartless than I thought.

"Did you just yawn?" came the question.

Light saw it coming. He narrowed his eyes. "And what if I did?

L stared at Raito for a moment and then sighed. "I suppose I should let you sleep" muttered L as he got up from his seat and began walking. The chain grew tight and L looked behind him to find Raito still in his chair. The teen did not hear what L had said and so now did not trust where he was heading to. The detective looked down at the chain dangling in the air. He took it in his hand and pulled on it a little as if testing it. He then looked up at Light. The young man was still glaring at the raven. L shrugged as he tugged on the chain harder this time so that Light had to move.

"Ow! Hey, that hurts!" Light said as he stumbled forward.

"Hn" the raven said turning around pulling on the chain every so often to make Kira-face walk.


Light did not enjoy being pulled like some dog so after the few pulls he complied and walked a little behind Ryuzaki. This however did not stop the detective from pulling on the chain to make sure that if his suspect slowed, he will pull him forward. Both had not said a word as the raven lead the teen into corridors until finally arriving at a room.

"This will be our room" L said shuffling inside.

Raito's eyebrow raised "Our?"

The detective turned his head to face suspect number one.

"Yes our. You didn't think I'd chain myself to you only to take them off when it was time to sleep, now did you?"

"Frankly, I didn't"

L nodded and then pointed at the bag sitting on the king sized bed. "That is yours, Watari brought it here. Of course I debated whether or not to tell him to put your things away, but then thought you would throw a fit not knowing where your things were."

"You're so thoughtful Ryuzaki" Light spat as he grabbed his bag rummaging through it, checking if anything was missing. Once he concluded that all of his belongings were still there he took some of his clothes and began putting them in drawers. L gave Raito a quizzical look.

"I thought you were tired"

"I am" Light hanged some of his clothes in a wardrobe.

"Hn…usually when people are tired they go to sleep" the raven commented. The teen huffed.

"First I will put my things away if not they will get wrinkly"

The panda-man merely moved a little when he was afraid the chain would pull on his wrist. Light gave one more yawn as he made his way to the washroom, his chain buddy not too far behind.

"Um…what are you doing?" The young man noticed Ryuzaki following.

"Just making sure Raito-kun gets to the washroom" he replied. Actually it was because of the chain that he had to follow. Light did not think of this and in turn became angry.

"Screw you L!" Raito all but slammed the door to the bathroom.

"Please refrain from calling me that Raito-kun" L's voice came from the other side of the door.


In the washroom, Light came to the conclusion that there were probably cameras in there. After all, if Ryuzaki went as far as bugging his home, Light was pretty sure the whole building had security cameras.

So much for privacy.

The teen sighed as he went about doing his things in the washroom, trying his best not to think about being watched.


L sat down by the bathroom door after ten minutes. Honestly ten minutes? Either Raito was planning something as Kira or he was the equivalent of a girl. The first option died as soon as it came because there were cameras in there and the detective was pretty sure Light knew. So perhaps it was the second option.

They were just going to sleep, what required so much time to get ready for sleep?!

Speaking of sleep, it seemed to L that Raito came to the conclusion that he wasn't going to be able to sleep. He seemed shocked when he first yawned in front of L. The detective pondered over this. He himself didn't sleep much if at all but he was not like others so he understood the need of sleep.

But if it meant that his Kira-suspect would be much weaker than before perhaps he would slip up his act. The idea of making Raito stay awake was now intriguing the detective.

The door to the bathroom finally opened and out came a very tired Yagami Raito. His eyes were drooping and it seemed that it took all of the teen's will power to stay awake and standing.

Seeing him like this caused L to stop all thoughts of making the teen stay awake. It was his fault for making him so tired in the first place.

I could deprive him of his sleep another day

L got up from the floor, as Raito made a bee-line towards the large bed. He got into the covers and murmured what sounded like a "Goodnight, bastard"

…of course it could have been something else. But L responded anyway.

"Goodnight"
