A.N. I completely forgot about this so expect it to be rushed. Sorry! Anyway, this pairing is from Death Note and I strongly believe in this ship.

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note because if I did then Light and L would be a canon pairing and Mikami would have been Kira (Misa can still be the second Kira since she's a bitch and I fucking hate her).


"How are we going to do this?"

Light and L were in a troubling position, although L didn't look all that bothered to be honest. Light had finally convinced L that he couldn't keep on sleeping in front of the monitors. Unfortunately, upon entering the room that the two had to share, a problem made itself known. Several, actually, but they all came back to fact that the two males were handcuffed together. One dilemma was that they needed to get changed; neither had been able to change their current clothes since they first ended up chained together a few weeks ago and, frankly, Light was sick of it. Another was that since they hadn't changed and only had a few hours of sleep in total between them per week, they both smelled worse than Pennywise (creep resided in a sewer for 27 years before occasionally coming out of it to kill children and then hibernating in the same sewer for yet another 27 years! They stink).

"I cannot see a problem Light-kun."

"Of course you can't because you know what- just- uh! Can you just unchain us for a maximum of 40 seconds to change? Please!"

L fixed Light with his classic blank stare (which is freaky but Light refused to back down) and shook his head much to the younger's dismay.

"No. The chances that you are Kira are 78.41% so if I unlock the handcuffs and you are indeed Kira, then the chances of you doing something while out of them is around 94%."

Light just stared disbelievingly at the raven-haired man. He took a deep breath to calm himself and attempted to get L to see sense.

"L,"

Light started off slowly, as if talking to a toddler which garnered a raised eyebrow from L complete with unimpressed look.

"The only thing I would be able to do if you freed me for a minute at the most, is get changed out of these clothes."

L opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Light putting a hand over his mouth.

"And if I were to kill you or do something to you, I am the only one capable of doing that which would get me incarcerated."

"Is that a confession?"

"No!"

After a lot more arguing and promises to make as many chocolate cakes as the detective wanted, Light finally managed to persuade the world's greatest detective to let the both of them get changed without any restrictions.

When L unlocked the cuffs, Light immediately rubbed his wrists to soothe the pain that had started up there after they were first locked around his wrist. L didn't show any discomfort and the two of them finally got out of the clothes that had practically fused themselves to their bodies. L, of course, didn't look any different except for the fact that he looked cleaner, less greasy (except for his hair which was disgusting). Light felt and looked fresher, cleaner, which was a relief to be honest.

"Now that we have gotten changed we should go back to cataloguing Kira's victims and-"

"No."

L was cut off by Light's sharp voice and found himself being dragged to the bed. A sound of protest was summoned from his throat which Light dutifully ignored; the brunette only acknowledged the other man when they were at the bed. When he spoke, Light's voice came out as an angry hiss that left no room for argument.

"Listen to me, you have been sleeping in front of the monitors every time you decide to actually sleep instead of working which means that I have also been sleeping in front of the monitors. I have finally managed to get you to leave the Kira case and I am not letting you go back to it without the both of us getting a good sleep. So don't you dare argue with me and get into the fucking bed!"

Light's face was a little red after he finished his rant and glared at L, daring him to argue. To be perfectly honest, L was a little taken aback by what he had just witnessed, it was rare for Light to rant on like this (it had only happened once so far as L knew and it was when Matsuda made a comment about Sayu and Light had gone off of a tirade about how she was too young and his sister. It was a terrifying day and even now Matsuda avoided Light like the plague). So instead of arguing he just complied and soon they were both in the bed with Light asleep as soon as they got settled; L stayed awake a little longer to just watch his Kira suspect.

He'd never noticed before, not really, but Light was actually quite cute when he was sleeping. He also reminded L of a cat, curling up to L in his sleep despite making it known that he didn't really want to come into contact with the man. A slender pale hand stroked some of Light's bangs from his face and a rare smile stretched across the usually stoic genius' face.

L wrapped his arms around Light's chest and drifted off to sleep. He faintly remembered smelly the aroma of fresh strawberries and an unfamiliar spice: the sweet and spicy scent that clung to Light.

Since this is a fanfiction where cheesiness and clichéness is allowed, it is safe to say that it was the best sleep either of them had in a while.


A.N. Yes, this is bad. I don't really like it since it could definitely be better but this is also a one-shot done at 8 o'clock at night after a long day so... yeah, that's still not an excuse.
