AN: Well, this is an interesting part. I hear this chapter is one of the best chapters of all. Light and L are trying too hard to be innocent. But, sadly, nothing goes on between them!

Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note. That is all.

-------------------------------------------

I woke up the next morning to find that the covers had been pulled off of me. I suspect that Light must of gotten cold in the middle of the night, for the blankets were wrapped around him like a burrito. With a chill running up my spine, I turned over to study him more. His face was nuzzled into the comforter and his body was in a tight ball. Every now and then, he would shiver, telling me that he needs just a few more degrees of body heat to be perfectly comfortable. I propped myself up on my elbows and checked the digital clock. It read 3:38 a.m. I guess I have some time to spare.

I laid back down and slid over to Light. I pulled the blanket from his grasp and I crawled into it. It was kinda warm, well warmer than no blanket at all. I felt Light shiver and I slid my arm around his waist. He mumbled a little and grabbed my head and forced my face into his chest. He smells so average, but with a twist of vanilla. It is hard for me to describe his features when I am being smothered like this. I like it, don't get me wrong, but I am just not used to this. "Mmmm... Ryuzaki, you're so warm" Light yawned. Light seems a little out of character today. Maybe he needs the comfort because he's going to break up with Misa today. He may not love her but she is still close to him and it's going to hurt him. I don't want to be around when they break up, but I'm kinda forced to I guess.

"Light-kun, I believe it is time to go back to sleep. You can't get up this early, you will be to by the end of the day." I said. He sighed and snuggled into my chest. His face is cold, but that means that we are transferring heat. I wish to keep him warm until we get up, which is around 5:30 a.m. Light's breathing slowed and kept an even pace. He isn't going to have any trouble going to sleep. I sighed and closed my eyes, breathing in his delicious smell and went to sleep.

------------------------

When I awoke again it was 5:37 a.m. Well, I should start to wake Light up. I realized right then that this time I didn't need to roll over. Light was holding on to me like it was his life support. I felt my face heating up and grabbed his face lightly. I pulled his face close to mine and licked his nose. "Mmm... Ryuzaki, what was that for?" Light mumbled. "Didn't you like it Light-kun?" I asked oh so innocently. He blushed. "Uh, heh, yeah I liked it, but..." I wonder if the surveillance cameras are up. More importantly, is the Task Force watching? "Light-kun, we have to get ready. Today is a very important day, remember?" He understood what I meant and got up.

We walked to the bathroom and I turned on the shower. Well, now that we pretty much confessed our feelings for each other last night, how is this not going to become awkward? The water was done heating up and I started to take off my clothes. I stripped down to my boxers and began fiddling with the handcuffs, trying to get them off so that I could chain Light to the sink to wait for his shower. Light just watched me, it kinda made me self-conscious. "U-ummm... Ryuzaki? Is it okay if, well, I don't know how to say this..." Light managed to stutter out. "What Light, please just spit it out so that we can start the case" He gathered up his courage and said, "Ryuzaki, I was wondering if we can take a joint shower. You know, to save time and water." This wasn't what I had in mind but I guess his reasons are acceptable. "Sure Light-kun,"

I kept my handcuffs on and let him get undressed. He was down to his boxers and I felt a flush creeping along my cheeks. I wasn't ready for this. Wait! All I need to do is keep my eyes up. Yeah, to his face. I kept my gaze to his face and didn't find it hard to keep it there. He was also blushing. At least he wasn't being too forceful. I could actually enjoy this. I pulled down my last article of clothing and watched Light's expression. It's not like we haven't done this before. But last time, we looked away.

Light took off his underwear and we both got into the shower. I grabbed my shampoo and squirted the contents into my hand. I scrubbed the shampoo in my hair and the whole bathroom started to smell just like it. Yumm... strawberries. "So that's how you get your hair to smell like that Ryuzaki! Impressive," His smirking made me weak in the knees. "Do you have a problem with that, Kira?" I'm really trying to get him back for treating me like the uke.

"Since when did you decide to pull the Kira card on me?" Light questioned. "Light-kun, I was testing you. And you passed. Plus, I wanted to get back at you for making me feel like a love-struck school girl." He looked at me with sincere amber eyes. "Wait, so you do like me? Your main Kira suspect?" Wait, do I like him? Yes, it would appear so. "Light-kun, remember? I told you that you were more than a suspect to me." Light took a step toward me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I took his chin and kissed him on the lips. I tried to hide the fact that this was my first actual kiss.

Our lips moved in unison for a good three minutes before we pulled away. I could tell by the look on his face that he had doubts about us. I did too. "Ryuzaki, how are we supposed to be together? With my dad on the team, and Misa still believes that I am going out with her and-" I pulled him into another kiss. Even I have my doubts about us, but that doesn't mean that we can't make this last. "Light, it isn't important what others think of us. What really matters is if you are happy or not. If your friends and family really cared for you, then they would be okay with whatever you choose." Light smiled, "Thank you Ryuzaki." "Light, please call me L when you are alone with me, okay?" He pecked me lightly on the lips. "Okay, L"

-------------------------

When we finished the shower, we headed to the second floor to get some breakfast. I grabbed my usual, two chocolate donuts and coffee with nine sugar cubes exactly. Light decided to get a bowl of cereal, Frosted Mini Wheats to be exact. We headed to the lowest floor to work on the Kira case.

We got a few leads and a very important clue, Kira now punishes criminals and other big business leaders on the weekends! This is a big hint. It seems that this new Kira is working for Yotsuba and is using criminals as a cover-up for killing off the other people interfering with their companies. Plus, we now know his killing schedule.

-------------------------

It was getting close to 9 p.m. and Misa should be getting back here soon with Matsuda. Right then, Misa walked in and I let Light off of his handcuffs and all three of us walked to her room. "Misa, we need to talk." Misa's face went from happy to questioning. "Why Light? What do you want to talk about?" Light nodded at me and walked into her room. I was told to wait outside her door, that way I could hear what they were saying.

"Misa, I just wanted to say that... this isn't going to work, the whole us dating thing" That was Light. He certainly is being, brave. What does it really mean to be brave? To me, "Bravery" is but a word.

"L-light!" She was clearly going to cry soon. Light, think of something. "Misa, it isn't you. It's me. I just found out something important. I'm gay..." I heard a gasp and the crying sound stopped. "W-what? You're gay? Th-that's just... AWESOME!!" Okay, weird. "Uuuhh... Misa?" "OH MY GOD LIGHT!! I've always loved yaoi! So who are you gay for? Ohhh! More importantly, are you uke or seme?" I blushed. I never thought about that.

--------------------------

After a few fan girl filled minutes, Light squeezed out of her room, took my hand, and ran. Since the Task Force all took the night off, we headed to the eighth floor and went to our room. I turned on my laptop and got to work. I saved the information that I learned that day onto my secret folder and made a back up folder. After I was finished with that, I turned off my laptop and turned toward Light. He had a small smile on his face.

"You know, L, nobody is here to watch the surveillance cameras..." With every word he took a step closer to me. I felt him behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. His breath was warm against my neck and sent a chill down my spine and into my whole body. I turned around in my chair and kissed him deeply on the lips. He tangled his fingers in my messy, raven-black hair. I put my right hand on the small of his back, while my left was trying to deepen the kiss by holding onto the back of Light's head.

---------------------------

I swear, that was the best kiss I've ever had. We had to stop before things got too heated. We both had hickeys on our chests and lower neck. Our shirts would be able to cover it up. We were both on the bed, foreheads together, panting hard. I could see that Light's lips were red and swollen. Mine probably were too. "Light-kun..." Light's eyes focused on mine. "What L?" "I think... I really like you Light-kun." Light yawned then smiled. "Right back at you" we held each other close and drifted off to sleep.
