I'm sorry for the late update, but I did have exams to stress over... and my mind went blank for a couple of days... All that really matters is that this chapter is finally done. It's not as long as I had hoped, but it's still longer than the last two chapters. Thanks for reading and thanks to all of my heros that reviewed.

Chapter 4

Raito pulled the bed sheets up to his chin an L sat close by, rolling his shoulders back every couple of minutes, testing out his almost knot free back. Raito watched the detective calmly as he planned his next move. Something personal… Raito was stuck on that one thought, not able to think of anything intelligent at all. The first thing that popped into his head was mistletoe and a bit of pink reached his cheeks as he remembered how L had looked at him earlier, mistletoe in hand. Said detective continued to tap away at the keys of his laptop, oblivious of the blushing Raito.

Raito closed his eyes and drifted to sleep, body curled towards L. L glanced down at the teenager, then leaned down to softly place a kiss on his forehead. A few hours later L shut down his laptop and curled up in a ball, moving closer to Raito before falling into a shallow sleep.

"Raito-kun, time to wake up." L said to a groggy Raito. Raito groaned and rolled over, hoping that he detective would let him sleep in for once. The detective glared at his back, and then slowly moved his hand up to the back of Raito's neck.

"AHHH! Damn it Ryuuzaki, your hands are cold!" Raito shouted as he flinched away from L's touch. The detective smiled and placed his feet against the back of Raito's legs, causing him to scoot further away from L.

"You know Raito-kun; you could always warm my hands up…" Raito turned over to see a light shade of pink on L's face. Raito smiled as he slid the detective's hands into his own. Raito decided that L was cutest when he was embarrassed. He brought L's hand to his lips and placed a soft kiss on each knuckle. L moved closer towards Raito and once again placed his cold feet on Raito's legs. Using all of the willpower that he could muster, Raito contained a flinch and continued to place kisses on L's frozen hands. L looked slightly annoyed when Raito didn't flinch and Raito had a sneaking suspicion that the sugar addict had something else up his sleeve.

L removed his hands from Raito's and rolled on top of him. Raito raised an eyebrow, but all of questions left his mind as L leaned forward and kissed him on the lips, sending him into a state of pure bliss. Raito had completely lost himself in the kiss, exactly what L had planned. L moved to part two of his plan and slowly slipped his hands under Raito's shirt and placed his hands flat on the teen's chest. To the detective's satisfaction, Raito broke the kiss to flinch violently and groan in surprise.

"That wasn't very nice, Ryuuzaki." Raito said, glaring at L who was still on top of him.

"I already told you it was time to wake up." L answered, placing a quick kiss on Raito's lips before getting off. Raito rolled off of the bed and onto his feet, grabbed clean clothes then followed Ryuuzaki into the bathroom.

Raito's mind wandered away as he stared at the computer screen for the second consecutive hour. Everything had been quiet between the two of them since this morning and it was starting to drive him crazy. He started to tap on the desk with a pen that he had been holding, and eventually his attention was completely on his pen. He stopped tapping and started practicing his old pen spinning tricks that he had easily picked up in middle school. He was so absorbed in his pen spinning that he didn't notice the detective glaring at him.

"Raito-kun, would you please get back to work." L said in a slightly aggressive tone. Raito dropped his pen in mid trick and turned towards L, eyes slightly wide at the detective's tone of voice. He followed L's eyes and took notice of the fact that L was staring at the pen with resentment. Ohh… He's annoyed because he can't do any pen tricks… I guess I shouldn't be surprised; he does have a habit of holding thing in an odd way… Raito placed the pen inside a drawer, while L's eyes watched his every move and softened as the drawer closed.

"Raito-kun, would you sing a Christmas carol for me?" L asked a few minutes later to a taken aback Raito.

"Why on Earth would you want to hear me sing a Christmas carol?" Raito asked confused and slightly embarrassed.

"I've always wanted to hear you sing, Raito-kun" L replied with large puppy-dog eyes. Unable to resist, Raito scanned his mind for a good Christmas carol.

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" Raito began, face red, he realized how ironic it was for him to be singing when he had been so annoyed with Matsuda for doing the same thing. His voice sent chills down L's spine and the detective jumped from his chair before Raito could even get to the second verse. Raito was cut off mid word by L's lips crashing into his. The passion in the kiss made Raito glad that he had decided to sing. L wrapped his arms around Raito's neck to bring him closer and skimmed the bottom of Raito's lip with his tongue. Raito granted him entrance happily and they both began to battle for dominance. Raito threaded his fingers through L's hair and pulled the detective as close to him as physically possible. As soon as the kiss had started it ended, when they both heard the approaching footsteps from the hallway and regretfully broke apart.

"Maybe you could sing for me again later, Raito-kun." L whispered right before the door opened and the rest of the investigation team entered. Raito made a mental note of it before standing up to greet his father.

The work day went by slowly and Raito had a hard time focusing on work and not having his eyes drift towards the sugar addict sitting next to him. Raito decided to take his annoyance out on Matsuda, who for some reason had issues with stopping himself from breaking out in to Christmas carols at any given moment, angering Raito further when he started humming "White Christmas". When it was finally time for the majority of the team to leave L called a short meeting.

"I will allow everyone to take Christmas day off, but I expect everyone back at work on the 26th and working twice as hard to catch up." L announced to the investigation team. Matsuda seemed twice as happy then before and the rest of the team nodded their heads.

"Ryuuzaki, I would like to ask if Raito could come home to celebrate with his family for one day." Chief Yagami asked the blank faced detective.

"Unfortunately, Raito-kun is still a suspect of the Kira case and cannot leave." L answered, not at all to Raito's surprise. What did surprise him though, was the fact that he knew he would rather spend Christmas with L then with his own family. He looked down at his feet as his father nodded and grabbed his jacket before leaving.

To Raito's dismay L walked back to his computer, sat down and continued to work. They continued to work for another hour and a half, but stopped when L's cell phone started to ring.

"Hello? Yes Watari. A package for me? You have already checked to make sure it's safe? Okay, send it up then. Good bye." It wasn't hard for Raito to figure out what the conversation was about. The chocolates for L had arrived.

When the package had arrived there was no way of knowing that it had been checked by security. It was wrapped with shiny green wrapping paper and topped with an even shinier red boy. L's eyes grew larger and to Raito he looked like an innocent, eager little kid. As soon as L was handed the present he held it close to his chest for several minutes and Raito wondered if the detective had received any presents as a child. There was a small card attached it to the ribbon and when L was composed enough to read it he gasped almost silently.

From: Raito were the two words that knocked the air out of the detective and he glanced up to the teenager after staring at the card for three minutes. Raito smiled kindly and motioned for L to finally open the present. Still in a state of shock L pulled on end of the ribbon with his thumb and index finger and as the wrapping paper finally came off, L gasped in delight. He smiled up at Raito before tackling him to the ground and hugging him as tightly as he could.
