At 12:32 in the morning in the Investigation Headquarters, a scream pierced through the quiet monotony that Light Yagami and L had previously shared.

"What is it, Yagami-san? Did you find something on Kira?" L asked, diverting his gaze from his laptop.

"N-no…" Light blushed. He held out his own laptop for L to take, and watched as L read the text on the page, his eyes widening. He looked up at Light.

"What is this?" He asked, a pink tinge ghosting across his face as Light leaned over L's shoulder, and continued reading.

"I don't know! I typed "Kira" into a search engine, and this is what popped u--OH MY GOD!" Light winced as he read.

"Well…I-I suppose the pervertion of the human mind runs very deep. There are some twisted people in the world, Raito-kun. Just look at Kira." But Light was not looking at Kira. He was looking at the page again.

"I'm CRYING?! Worse, I'm crying because you don't love me?!" His cheeks turned a slightly brighter shade of pink as L laughed softly. "Look!" He pointed down to the bottom of the page.

"Hehe…'Light…are you PMSing?'" L quoted, snickering. Light narrowed his eyes.

"Goddamn you."

"Haha…now I know your true nature, Raito-kun." L smiled, and Light promptly turned the exact color of his tie, his eyes forming an icy death glare.

"Just what…is that supposed to mean…Ryuzaaki…" Light spoke quietly through gritted teeth. L's focus was back on the page however, and Light could swear that he heard him say "interesting" through the thumb between his teeth. "ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS?!" He yelled suddenly. L looked up.

"Perhaps…" L mumbled, shrugging his shoulders. Light snatched the laptop away, a disturbed look on his face.

"Alright, this is getting creepy." Was his excuse, as he put the laptop out of the reach of L and his swivel-chair.

"Hmph," L whispered, a pouty look playing across his features, "You just want it all to yourself, Raito-kun." Light's eyes widened.

"THAT IS NOT TRUE!" He yelled, blushing again. "We have to sleep in the same bed, Ryuzaaki!" The handcuffs joining them jingled threateningly. "Do you have any idea how awkward it will be if you finish this?!"

"Yes." Was L's simple reply. Light sat back down in his own chair, and picked up the laptop again.

"Good." He was about to continue working, when lunged forward and attempted to wrench the laptop out of his hands. Light reflexively moved the computer out of L's reach.

"WHAT THE HELL, RYUZAAKI!? I thought you understood why you can't read any more!"

"I do understand, Raito-kun." L answered coolly. "But you never considered the possibility that I don't care." Light bit his lip, and continued to hold the computer out of L's reach.

"Anyway…" he spoke, attempting to change the subject, "we need to work on the Kira case."

"We're going to need the laptop for that, Raito-kun."

"You have your own laptop. I'll click out of this, and we'll pretend like it never happened."

"Sure, Yagami-san. Sure." Light's eyes narrowed into his death glare once more.

"What is that supposed to mean, Ryuzaaki?"

"Nothing at all, Yagami-san. It is very Kira-like for you to think something of it. As is the very Kira-ish glare you are sending me at this moment." Light suddenly had to fight back a powerful urge to strangle his parnter in capturing Kira.

"I think something of it because people naturally think something of it when someone is sarcastic! And I don't know why you're so interested in this anyway! Do you want me, Ryuzaaki?! Is that it?!" L's face was expressionless.

"You're very arrogant to think that I would want you, Raito-kun." His face relaxed into a small smile that Light couldn't quite understand.

"That wasn't a straight answer. And don't you smile at me!"

"'Straight answer'? Was that an intended pun?"

"I hate you."

"That seems only fitting, Kira."

"What the fu--I AM NOT KIRA, RYUZAAKI!" Light screamed. L looked sadly at Light.

"I can only hope so."

"What can I do to prove I'm not Kira, Ryuzaaki?" Light spoke softly, fighting back a strong emotion that he didn't want to decipher.

"I think you know." L stated, possibly unaware of the innuendo that was making Light blush. When he stated this, L looked scandalized. "Innuendo? Why would I make an innuendo about something so serious?"

"Shut up! I just read that roleplay thing, alright?! My mind is a little messed up." L looked off into the distance.

"Hm…it makes me wonder how realistic that roleplay actually was." He was roused from his musings by a fist taking a hold of his shirt.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?! Are you suggesting that I would EVER do ANYTHING like that?! That I would cry over you?!"

"Well, Raito-kun, you can be a very emotional person." L looked up at the man shaking him, as if to prove his point. "And crying is a natural response to sadness or grief."

"Heh…as if I would ever grieve if you walked out of my life." Light began to laugh a cold, emotionless laugh. L blinked.

"Unconvincing." He stated.

"Shut up!" Light yelled. He stood up and kicked over the swivel-chair that L was perched in. Instead of the chair flipping over like Light had anticipated, it flipped over, and L toppled to the ground.

"Itai…" L mumbled from his place on the floor. Light crouched down to L's level.

"Oh my God! Are you oka--I mean…" Light stood back up, pretending as though he had not just shown concern for the man on the ground.

"I am fine, Yagami-kun, thank you for asking." L stated. The effect, however, was ruined by L wincing in pain.

"No. You aren't. Tell me what's wrong." Light looked down, trying to act unconcerned, and failing horribly.

"Some idiot put stone tiling on the floor…I will have to fire him later." L's eyes met Light's. "But…I didn't think you cared so much about me, Raito-kun." Light's cheeks turned a deep shade of pink.

"I…I don't….I just don't want to have to drag a corpse around on the other end of these handcuffs, is all." He knelt down again, and looked at L. "Now…what hurts?" L winced again.

"Raito-kun, I seem to have landed on my bottom." Light blushed a shade of magenta that he wasn't even aware existed until that moment. His eyes couldn't help but stray to Ryuzaaki's…no. He could NOT do that.

"Do you…erm…need any help?" Light asked slowly. L nodded.

"That would be appreciated, Raito-kun." Light's eyes widened. What was he supposed to do? Inspect it? He would be fine with that, of course, seeing how Ryuzaaki…and he did it again. Light groaned inwardly, and blushed when it came out sounding like something a bit different.

"What should I do?" he asked, hoping to cover up and suspicious glances with a cough.

"You could…help me up, Raito-kun." Light shook his head of all his previous thoughts.

"Oh. Right. Yeah. Ok." He stuttered, and stood up. L stuck out his pale hand, and Light gripped it, pulling the detective to his feet. As soon as he was upright, L grabbed a nearby phone and began talking into it.

"Watari? Yes, could you fire whoever put stone tile in here? Thank you." He hung up, and looked at Light. "I suppose we should get back to work on the Kira case now."

"Yes…good idea…" Light said distractedly.

After a few minutes of working, Light looked up and spoke.

"Ryuzaaki?"

"Yes, Yagami-kun?"

"In that roleplay thing…do you think they got together in the end?" L looked over at Light and shrugged.

"I don't know…what do you think?"

"I'm not sure. They seem to love each other…even though they don't exactly show it well."

"Yes, you're right…Raito-kun seems to be the most ignorant, though," L said. "And the most amusing." Light couldn't tell whether he was talking about the roleplay anymore or not.

"I don't know…Ryuzaaki just doesn't seem to understand L's feelings."

"And what would those feelings be, Yagami-kun?"

"Isn't it obvious? I love you." L's eyes widened, and Light blushed deeply. "I-I mean in the roleplay…"

"Um…yes, of course…" Light was surprised that he wasn't the only one blushing. Suddenly, L looked over at him. "Are you sure it's just in the roleplay?" He said softly. Light could feel his heart flutter momentarily.

"I-I'm not sure…" he whispered, looking down. L climbed out of his chair, and walked over to Light. He looked down once into his eyes, before leaning down and placing a quick kiss on Light's lips. Light gasped.

"Are you sure now?" he breathed.

"Y-yeah…" Light whispered, before leaning in and kissing L back. He wrapped his arms softly around the back of L's neck. When they broke apart, L smiled.

"Me too." He murmured.
