Chapter 4: Promises
When they reached the bathroom, Light locked the door behind them but made no move towards the toilet. He turned, staring long and hard at L. His eyes were like searchlights trying to find an answer in the dark, abysmal chasm that was L's eyes. When he found no answer, he voiced his question.
"Ryuuzaki," he said, "you've been giving me the cold shoulder since this morning and I want to know why. Do you hate being handcuffed to me that much?"
L hesitated before he took a deep breath and sighed.
"It's not that I dislike being chained to you, quite the contrary actually." he said looking directly at Light now, "I love being close to you and waking up with you beside me. I'm intoxicated by your scent and I love running my fingers through your hair. To tell you the truth, there's an 86.3% chance that I might be in love with you. Maybe."
"But that doesn't explain-" started Light.
"But last night I had a nightmare." interrupted L.
"If that's it-" said Light relieved.
"No, that's not it." said L, "in my nightmare,…you were Kira."
"But L," reasoned Light, "you've always suspected me of being Kira."
"Yeah," said L trying to get Light to understand, "but it's different now, I realized that if you are Kira…I won't be able to live with you…or without you. And as of right now, I am 83.12% sure that you are Kira."
"L, I'm not Kira!" pleaded Light, his eyes going wide at the percentage.
"But you are!" cried L sobbing uncontrollably.
Light covered the distance between them quickly and wrapped L in a comforting embrace.
-Damn it- thought Light, -The one time he shows his feelings and this is how it turns out-
"L, I promise you," said Light tilting L's chin towards his face, "that I am not Kira, and with you by my side, I never will be."
"Promises are mad to be broken." said L wiping furiously at his tears.
"No," said Light grabbing his arm and wiping the tears for him, "promises are made too be kept." (1)
Light leaned down and kissed the tears cascading down L's face before sealing their promise with a kiss.

A/N: I'm still not sure how long this one is going to be. Maybe 10 chapters at the most.
(1) I got this line from the Boy's Love Movie. Lol. It was so sweet that I just had to put it in.
P.S. I'll try to upload the next chapter soon, I already have it written down. I just need to type it up and then upload it. Yay!
