Part Eight-

Je désir après un tueur, le tueur désir après moi

-----He was still feeling the anger that had settled in his stomach once L had talked and looked so emotionlessly, right after they had kissed. A part of him understood the need to keep the detectives in the dark about it, but the rest of him was angry; Lawliet had said '"It seems like Kira doesn't restrain himself with everyone. Interesting."' before the detectives had even gotten onto their floor.

He wanted to strike the man, or kiss him senseless; he wasn't sure which he wanted more right now. He let the detective lead them to the room that they had to now share again. He felt the need to show up the detective, if Lawliet could be so cold-hearted, then he could top that! No…he would find something, someway to outdo the world's greatest detective.

He WOULD.-----

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

She taps her foot impatiently, eyeing the young detective.

"So L just went off by himself with Light-kun?" she asks coolly.

"It's just like I told you, they went to bed, both were feeling quite exhausted." said Matsuda. "And he wanted us to call him Ryuuzaki, Wedy-san."

She raises a brow at him, walking past him, her long blonde hair sliding off her shoulder, over to the computer center that L had set up; taking a seat in what was usually L's chair.

"I remember quite clearly, Matsuda," she says, not bothering to add a san or kun at the end, insult to injury; she hadn't liked the tone he had taken with her in the beginning.

And she didn't like waiting either. She had done everything 'Ryuuzaki' had asked of her and more; there wasn't a better thief out there than her, she was the God amongst burglars, or Goddess, as it were. Ryuuzaki had called her in for her expertise and she had given it; the least thing he could do was be here when she arrived. People didn't stand up Merrie Kenwood, if anything, she stood THEM up.

She was rather surprised that he would be sleeping, it seemed like the man hardly ever did, if at all. She couldn't ever remember seeing him sleep, even when she arrived at weird hours, preferring to work in the lovely silence of nighttime.

"Calm down, cherie," said Aiber, coming up behind her, having just entered the building himself. "Even the world's greatest detective needs to catch up on sleep and unless its an absolute emergency, then we really shouldn't bother him; we're still on the clock and getting paid, so why get upset?" He saunters over towards the kitchen, with Matsuda and Wedy watching while he opened up a cabinet and pulled out an expensive looking bottle of red wine. He pulls out a couple of glasses and pours some of the red liquid in each, taking the bottle and glasses back into the other room, handing the thief a glass.

"Drink up." said Aiber. He sets the bottle on the desk where L and Light usually worked from and sits in the seat next to Wedy, Light's usual seat. He takes a sip of the wine and closing his eyes in pleasure. Even if the world's greatest detective didn't imbibe, he sure knew how to pick the best kinds of wine for his 'guests'. Tierry Morello did nothing by halves and he didn't spare any expense either; he was not as rich as L by any means, though he was very rich himself, but he knew refined taste when he seen it.

Even if all the man ever ate was sweets and all he ever drank was coffee or tea.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

-----He was trying to figure out just what he could do, when they abruptly stopped, causing him to nearly run into L in his thoughtfulness. Light watches as L opens the door to their shared room quickly, the door pushed wide open, making Light hurry inside before it closed on him. The man seemed rather eager to go to bed; a surprise to the younger man. L Lawliet always dreaded the time that he must stop working on the Kira case, lamenting the loss of lost time and determined to make up for it.

Well, the man was indeed right about his hypothesis, of who Kira was and who was the second Kira. He himself knew who was the third Kira, even if Lawliet did not. He just needed a way to get suspicion put on the man without putting any further suspicions on himself. But there was something he was going to first.

He allows the detective to drag them inside, towards the fairly large bed; for a man who didn't sleep often, Lawliet certainly had good taste. The sheets were of the finest quality and were also quite comfortable, the latter fact more important right now to Light for what he was planning.

And he also allowed the man to get into bed first, both of them still eerily quiet. He had no idea of the thoughts running in the other man's head and couldn't begin to fathom the mindset of L Lawliet, but he knew that they ran on the same wavelength in many areas; the man was his only equal; Mello and Near had only defeated him out of luck.

Light stands at the foot of the bed as Lawliet gets himself situated onto the bed, first sitting in his usual crouching position before leaning back to fall on the bed rather splay-legged on it. He leans over a little bit.

"You have to scoot over if I'm to lie down as well, Ryuuzaki," said Light, sounding slightly exasperated. "We're both tired and the bed isn't that big." Well, it was pretty big, but why talk about inconsequential things when there was other stuff to be had? Lawliet just looks at him for a moment, a strange and thoughtful look in his eyes, before moving over.

This was not the first time they had to share a bed, though it was the first time in awhile that Light had had to do so with L. The mechanics of it had needed to be worked out a little bit at first; sleeping was an issue as L had went on as little sleep as a person could possibly go, maybe even beyond that, and Light felt a full eight hour regimen was needed to keep up with the ever growing workload; or so it had been before, though his before was now his now and he wasn't sure just the how and why of it yet, and he didn't want to think of it at the moment as it gave him a headache.

They had also had to take showers together; something which had been dealt with, in those times, with as much indifference on both of their parts as possible; Light for one hadn't wanted to admit to himself that he had glanced over at the lanky man's body more than once, on many occasions. He had put it in the back of his mind and had forced his mind to forget about it, for he could harbor no good feelings about the man that must be killed.

Now…well, now was a different story; he had been given a second chance, for whatever reason. And, he realized with a bit of shock, he wanted to do something with that second chance, with L Lawliet especially. -----

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

She lets the Frenchman pour her another glass of wine, surprised in L's tastes in wine as it seemed like he did nothing but inhale sweets and down cups of coffee and tea; maybe it was unwise of her to see L in just that light; he was after all, the world's greatest detective and there was obviously some sort of depth that she herself could not see; hell, she was unsure if anyone could see it, even L himself.

Though the handsome young man, Light Yagami seemed to bring a side of L that Wedy was sure that even L wasn't used to seeing, so maybe that's where the depth was. That young little detective, Matsuda had finally left, making her glad that he decided to quit dawdling around. He wasn't getting anything done by hanging around, and was glad that the rest of the detectives had followed suit; Yagami-san finally leaving after a word from Aiber, whom he seemed to hold in slightly higher regard than herself, though they were both 'con-artists and criminals' in his words; perhaps because Aiber was a male, a stupid stereotype that Merrie Kenwood loathed and she proved time and again that females were the better of the species. No thief could come close to her skills, especially any lousy men.

She glances at Aiber over her glass. Aiber at least seemed like one of the few nice ones, quite handsome too. She debated on whether or not to ask him out, though that term seemed so high-school. He would probably be a magnificent lover. He was one of the few here that caught her interest; Matsuda was cute but would probably become too needy and he was always hovering around her whenever she was in here. Aizawa was married and she thought his haircut was bizarre; pretty cool, but not to her personal preference.

Mogi was big and silent and she liked a man to say his piece; he wasn't really attractive to her, though he seemed nice enough, she supposed. She takes a sip, letting her eyes close. Yagami-san was married, not that had ever stopped her before, but she had no interest in the man sexually whatsoever and he obviously didn't care for her. Then there was Light-kun. Quite handsome for his age, so handsome compared to his rigid father that she wondered how something that handsome could come from someone like his father.

And finally, there was L himself. He was not the picture of the man she had in mind when she thought of L, what he would look like, sound like, when she finally met him. She had pictured a lot of things, but the lanky, slouched, wide-eyed younger than she expected, man was not what she had had in mind. His hair was messy and all over the place, with shadows under his eyes that looked as if they were two dark pools that never faded away. His mannerisms and way of speaking had also taken her by surprise. He wasn't the conventional standard of handsomeness, but he looked quite good, though he was a puzzle to her.

But he hadn't seemed to have any interest in her, other than her thief skills. She wasn't that vain, but she knew she was quite a beauty and she had never had any trouble finding a warm body to lie with. L, however, seemed to have no sexual drive whatsoever. He treated that blonde, rather annoying girl, Misa with maddening indifference and didn't seem to take pleasure in much of anything, his emotions quite held back compared to what could be called 'normal society'.

Then there was another thing; although Misa said she was Light's girlfriend, she couldn't ever remembering seeing the two hold hands, or kiss, or any of that lovey-dovey stuff that young couples did. Light seemed quite indifferent to her, unless she became to squeal-y and then his voice would raise a bit. The only time L seemed to get past his indifference was when he interacted with Light Yagami and the opposite could be said for Light. That was a funny thought; maybe they…

She shakes her head of the absurd thought and finishes her glass of wine, setting the cup down. That was quite an absurd thought; she would have to keep away from so much wine at a time, though she was only on her third glass, if it was going to be giving her weird thoughts like that.

I mean, she thought, Light Yagami and L? That was like saying that Light was Kira! Quite absurd…

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

She bids Aiber goodnight after awhile, yawning as she headed down the hallway to one of the spare rooms. She wasn't afforded her own floor, but at the moment she just wanted a bed to lie down on and didn't care about the minor details. She walks down the hallway, pausing as she hears a strange thumping sound. She stops to listen but hears nothing, so she continues forward, managing only a few steps when she hears the sound again. She shakes her head and sees what she knew was L's door, as she had seen him and Light come from it one day, having to share rooms as they were handcuffed together.

Using the sneaking skills that made her the world famous Wedy, she sneaks over to the door, placing a delicate ear to listen intently. The sounds next surprise and shock her out of her slight buzz from the wine.

Moan. "Don't…stop, Ryuuzaki." Thump. "Don't stop!"

Blood rushes to her face, something that she couldn't remember the last time had happened, a hand going to her mouth. They were…oh my god! She bites her lip to hold in the sudden yelp that wanted to get out. She was shocked to her core; not that this was a bad thing though.

In fact, it was rather hot.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

----- He couldn't quite figure out just how it happened. He had had it all planned in his head, things he was going to say, things he was going to do. He had factored everything in. But apparently he had missed something, for as soon as he gets himself settled; he gets grabbed and finds the lanky body of L Lawliet hovering over his.

Lawliet's mouth over his had been a shock and sent electric thrills straight to his cock. He had tried to speak, but everytime he did, L had kissed him quiet—and did a good job of doing so as well. The man had done things with his tongue that he couldn't believe. Their hands had moved together, quickly dispensing of their clothing; Lawliet's much easier to remove. He had had the whole thing planned out, but somehow L had beaten him to something again.

But he forgot everything he was going to say or do, once his hands touched the strangely hot flesh of the older man, L's stomach contracting when Light touches it. He runs his thumb over one of L's nipples, fascinated as the little nub hardens under his touch, reveling in the breathy moan that Lawliet gave. He leans forward, moving his thumb and replacing it with his mouth, licking the sensitive tip, loving how Lawliet jerked under his touch.

He opens his eyes, when had he closed them?, to see L looking at him with wider eyes than usual, his breathing heavy and labored. Light glances down to see quite an impressive erection straining towards him, precome starting to drizzle from the tip. He licks his lips and hears Lawliet's intake of breath, looking up. As he does so, Lawliet grabs onto him hard and pushes him back down onto the bed, kissing him hard, his tongue thrusting inside his mouth, leaving Light hurrying to follow suit.

He couldn't stop a shiver as the detective pushes Light's legs open slightly. His cock was hard and throbbing against L's stomach and as Lawliet moves closer, kissing him deeper; he couldn't help but move his hips against the hot skin on top of his.

Lawliet pulls back. "L-Light-kun," said L breathlessly. Light shakes his head and kisses him again.

"I don't know what you're thinking," said Light. "But don't think that you could ever pressure me into something that I don't want. I…I know that you wouldn't do that…not in this," The statement felt true, even if it surprised him. "I want this; and I know you do," he pushes his hips up again, holding back a moan as his cock rubs intimately against L's.

Lawliet on the other hand, couldn't hold back a moan and cups Light's face briefly before kissing him again. He pulls back, his hands moving to Light's hips.

"I'm thinking that I've never wanted anyone before Light-kun, before you. It bothers me and it also…is more than I could have ever hoped for myself. I hope that you will not break me."

He thrusts against Light, their erections rubbing against each other and neither of the men could hold back a cry. They move in a rhythm together, quickly, Lawliet's grip on his hips hard but there was no way that Light could say no now, no way he could pull Lawliet away. Nothing could; not even the startling revelation from the man that seemed as surprising to L as it did to Light.

He pulls Lawliet's face down for a kiss, then another, then another. His hips start to move desperately against L's, his cock throbbing so hard and he couldn't ever remember feeling this way before, feeling this desperate need which sent him into overload. His lips move from L's lips to his face, kissing any part of the man he could reach, feeling another thrill as L's head moves down, licking and sucking on the juncture of Light's neck.

The pressure was building and building and Light could feel it arriving and he had never wanted something so bad before. The bed thumps hard against the wall from their thrusts but he could care less in that moment, anyone could have come in the room and he would have yelled at them to get fuck out of there, even his own father. His hands find refuge in Lawliet's wild hair and he couldn't help the little sobbing pants that came out of his mouth.

He moans as Lawliet's hips shift, feeling Lawliet's own moans against his skin. "Don't…stop, Ryuuzaki," he moans, the bed thumping against the wall again. It was all too much; he couldn't last. "Don't stop!" He lets out a hoarse cry as he climaxes, his seed shooting all over his and L's bodies, moaning, holding Lawliet close as the tremors of pleasure become all too much, hearing but not hearing Lawliet's own groan as he comes as well, dirtying them even further with come.

He lets go of Lawliet's hair, both of them breathing harshly with Lawliet still laying on top of him, but too tired to care at the moment. He wasn't sure how many hazy moments passed after that, but finally after awhile, Lawliet moves off of him with a slightly groan, laying next to him. He opens his mouth to speak, what he was going to say, he didn't know, but he gets further surprised when Lawliet pulls him over to him, holding him close and looking at him sleepily.

"We had best get to sleep, Light-kun." He said sleepily. "Tomorrow's a new day, Kira is still out there free…"

He lets himself settle down, allowing himself to be held tightly in the man's arms.

And he wasn't so sure about Kira being free anymore.

A/N: Guh. I finally finished this chapter, thank god. Guh. Xx It's like 1:30 and I've been up since 8:00 but…anyways! I finally finish the chap, yay! I had a bit of a block for awhile, then I started to write about 12:30 and I just kept going until the chapter was finished.

Wow, okay so I knew I was going to put Aiber and Wedy back in, but I didn't expect the POV change like that. Not that I'm unhappy or anything, I liked it, a lot. I hope Wedy was liked. I suppose my inspiration for Wedy came from Serria, though I didn't do anything intentionally like hers; if I did so then I apologize. I haven't even been reading any DN fics, I've been reading an YGO fic called Coalescence, which I 333333. It's one of my two favorite YGO fics ever. A slight oldie, but good nonetheless!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! They actually did it and I actually accomplished a long chapter for this! Woot! XD
