Author's Note: So, firstly, this chapter will be shorter and contain more of the sweeter stuff between L and Light. I mean gosh they just slept together. And plus I just love when Light is sweet. It definitely melts my heart! But do keep in mind, my more raunch-inclined readers, you may run into some steamy stuffs in the next chapter. I make no promises so I guess you'll just have to read on to find out.

We are nearing the end of our journey! Can you believe it? There is only one chapter left! I actually considered changing this chapter dramatically and maybe even adding an additional one to get more of the smutty stuff in there, but honestly, I think this story works out beautifully and I wanted to stick with the original. Yes, it all seems pretty fast paced towards the ending, but that's the way it has to be. Sure, I could add chapter after chapter of random one-shots between Light and L to lengthen this, but at the end of the day that would just get boring. Again, thanks to everyone for the likes and support. It means a ton!

Light was awakened by an annoying beeping that wouldn't stop. The insidious noise made him cranky. He wasn't a morning person. His eyes slid open and found the source of his annoyances, the little alarm clock that was blinking 7:00am. He groaned and slapped the button, careful not to wake Ryuzaki who was snoring lightly next to him. Light rubbed his eyes with his hands and sighed. He had to get up before Watari came in to bring L his morning sugar. He looked down at the young man who was completely naked except for the thin white duvet that was draped over his waist. He had to make sure L got dressed; he was never one to sleep in the nude. Light slid out of bed and stretched the dull soreness out of his muscles. He looked down at L and lightly brushed away the matted black hair that stuck to his forehead. The sleepy detective moaned and pressed his face harder into the pillow. Light couldn't help but smile at the way L was acting.

He bent over and nibbled L's earlobe gently. "It's time to wake up. You should get dressed before Watari comes up." L groaned again and pulled the duvet over his head. Light thought he wasn't a morning person, but L was definitely worse than him. Light rubbed his temple and looked around the room. It looked like he was going to have to play butler to the groggy young man. Light walked over to their closet and selected the usual white t-shirt and baggy, faded jeans for L and then took a pair of neatly folded jeans and a dark colored sweater for himself. He grabbed up the handcuffs from the floor and placed all of this on the counter in the bathroom. He took a minute to turn on the hot water and tested it as it shot out of the shower head before returning to the bedroom. He kicked their discarded and torn clothes under the bed and snatched the duvet and sheets off of the sleeping detective, leaving him completely naked and exposed. Light shivered slightly as he though of the night before. He longed to run his hand down-

No, Yagami. His inner voice scolded. You don't have time for that. You have to make yourself and L presentable before someone comes in. Light hooked his arms under L's and proceeded to lift him from the bed. L groaned and swatted at Light in protest, but Light ignored him. He set L down on his own two feet and took his hand, leading him into the steamed up bathroom. L followed along like a zombie, yawning hugely and rubbing his black eyes. Light climbed into the shower and pulled L along with him.

Once the hot water hit L's back, he perked up a bit. He was awake now, but that didn't mean he was energetic. Lazily, he leaned against Light for support, resting his head on his chest. "L," Light tried to sound scolding, but even he could hear the smile in his voice. "You have to shower and get dressed. The rest of the task force will be here soon. We have a murder to solve, remember."

L bit his thumb and sighed. He did still have a murder to investigate. Had it really only been less than 12 hours since he was last in the investigation room? So much had happened in such a short amount of time. His life was completely different now.

Light stood L back on his own two feet and began to lather his lean body with a bar of soap. L didn't mean to stare, but he simply couldn't help it. Whenever his eyes roamed across the teen's body, he was overcome with a sense of awe. That wasn't the only feeling that welled inside him. Just being close to Light made his stomach flutter. Was this what it was like to have intimate feelings for someone? L had never loved, so he had no idea what it felt like. And could this little affair even be called love? Surely it was too early to use such a heavy word. His body was still overcome with the chemicals and endorphins from his newly acquired sexuality. For all he knew, this was the aftermath of lust that would fade in a couple days. He ran his thumb over his lips. What did that mean? In a couple of days would he feel nothing for the boy standing in front of him? No. That's impossible. Nothing would never be the same between them. L knew he wouldn't stop caring for the boy, but did Light feel the same. He was known to have had several girlfriends in high school, and he felt absolutely nothing for Misa. Was all of this just an act in a grand attempt to bring the World's Greatest Detective crumbling to his knees?

"L," Light's sudden voice snapped L out of his train of thought. He had stopped washing himself and he was staring back at L with one eyebrow cocked. "What are you staring at?"

L blinked. His mind had been so far gone that he hadn't even realized he was staring at the boy. As he looked into those twinkling auburn eyes, he was overcome with a single desire. "I want…" His face warmed a bit and he rocked on his heels a bit. "I want to kiss you."

A gorgeous smile broke the calmness of Lights face and he chuckled a bit. He reached out with one hand and cupped L's face in his palm before slowly leaning in and pressing his lips against L's. This kiss didn't have any of the usual fierceness that was characteristic of Light. It was sweet and slow. He simply parted his lips a bit, took L's bottom one between his, and slowly pulled back, keeping his forehead pressed against L's. "You know," he whispered. "You don't have to ask my permission to do that." He placed the bar of soap in Ryuzaki's hand and placed another soft peck on his lips. "Finish up. We need to get downstairs."

"They can wait." Light looked up at L and was surprised to see a determined look in his eye. Normally, L would be the one arguing that they had to get downstairs. This was unlike him. There was a flicker in his eyes as he stepped forward and pushed Light against the wet tile wall before he pressed his lips against the teen's.

It took Light a moment to react to what happened. He definitely wasn't used to L taking control this way, but he had to admit that he liked it. It would be interesting to see the usually static and controlled L take what he wanted. L didn't waste any time either. He took Light's hand into his and put it right where he wanted it, on his growing erection. Light's mouth pulled back in a slight smile. L was definitely a greedy lover. He always made sure his own needs were satisfied. Light didn't begrudge him this, in fact he found it quite amusing. Light dutifully began to stroke L's member and was surprised at how quickly L began to breathe shallowly and bite his nails into Light's arm. He must be extra sensitive in the morning. To test his theory, Light ran his thumb over the head and was rewarded with a slight yelp from the older man. Yes, he was extra sensitive. Light's eyes sparkled with lust as he licked his full lips before speaking. "Tell me what you want, L."

L let out a long sigh and pushed back some of the hair that had fallen in front of his face. "I want you to make me orgasm, Light-kun." His voice didn't waver at all and there was nothing but absurdness and confidence there. "Wrap that pretty little mouth around my cock and swallow what comes out."

Hearing those dirty words from L made Light's member throb with need. But he wasn't done there. "And if you do a satisfactory job," he continued as his voice dropped an octave. "I'll return the favor."

Light grinned. "Will you? That's very generous of you, L." As he spoke, he pressed L's back against the wet tile wall of the shower and dropped down to his knees. In seconds, he gripped the base of L's cock and took the inflamed tip into his mouth. His tongue started going around the circumference, licking away the bittersweet pre-cum that was steadily oozing out.

Above him, L's head lulled back against the tile and he placed his hand on the back of Light's head. "Fuck," he murmured and Light smirked around the mouthful. He had never heard L curse like that before and it swelled his pride -and another organ- to know he had caused it. "Light-kun's mouth feels exquisite."

Light let out a slightly over-exaggerated moan of appreciation as he took more of L's member into his mouth. He kept slowly sliding down until the tip was just at the entrance of his throat and he had to fight for control of his gag reflex. Light took a moment to steel his resolve before sliding his mouth the rest of the way down so his lips came into contact with the base of L's cock. He swallowed around the tip that was in his throat and L cried out as his hips sporadically thrust forward.

"Oh, fuck!" L gasped, desperately trying to keep his footing on the slippery shower floor as his knees shook. "Light," he hissed out. "I'm going to cum, now!"

The boy was actually very thankful for the warning, He pulled back so his lips were just around the tip again and used both hands to squeeze and stroke the remnants of his length as his orgasm hit with a loud cry. Stream after stream of hot semen filled Light's mouth and he had to swallow twice to make room for what was left. When he was sure he had milked L dry, he licked his tip clean before standing up to kiss L deeply.

The detective could taste his own cum on Light's lips as well as the familiar sweetness that he usually craved from Light's kisses and a feral hunger overtook him. He pulled the young boy hard against his soaked form and kissed him with all the need he could offer, making Light tremble and moan. There was only thing he wanted to do right now-

A sudden and brisk knock on the door caused both boys to freeze in their tracks. Light swore under his breath and stepped back from L. "Ryuzaki," Watari's voice came through the door. "Are you in there?"

Light paled. Oh shit. They were caught.

Ryuzaki read his expression. "We're fine," he assured Light in a soft whisper. "We are still supposed to be cuffed together so Watari will not think anything of us being in the bathroom together." Then in a louder voice, he answered the man at the door. "Yes, Watari. Light-kun and I will be down in a moment. He is taking his precious time in the shower." There was no answer, but they both heard footsteps across the wood floor and the door click closed. They both sighed in relief.

Light reached over and shut off the water to the shower, silently declaring bath time to be over. He pecked L on the cheek before climbing out of the shower and drying himself off. Ryuzaki already felt an emptiness with Light at the other end of the room. In just this short amount of time, he had gotten acutely accustomed to having intimate contact with the boy at all times. He sighed and chewed his thumb. Today was going to be a very long day.
