Chapter Ten:

Ten weeks later:

Raito sat there, staring at the computer scene. He needed some sleep but it would seem the case was harder than he thought. Leaning back in his chair, he glanced over at the detective who refused to give up. Standing up, he sighed, "I need some sleep."

"All right."

"L."

"Yes."

"I know that you are happy that you have your sight back but you need sleep too." Raito explained. He didn't want to tell the older man, the only reason he begged L to go to sleep with him was because when L wasn't by his side he would dream of the older man's death. It felt odd to tell the other that.

Sighing loudly, L turned his chair around to look at his partner. They agreed the L title would be shared and they would solve cases together. After ten weeks ago, Raito moved in with him. He wasn't very pleased but he couldn't argue with it. He decided to stay in Japan. He visited the Wammy House once in a while. Sighing again, he asked, "What is this about?"

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"For the past few nights, you have been trying to get me to sleep sooner than my normal time."

"L, you do not sleep at all."

"My point is why does Raito keep trying."

"I worry for your health."

Staring at his lover, L sighed annoyed. His lover could lie well but he knew it was a lie. He let go of his pride and stood by Raito's side. He had hope Raito would talk to him freely. Turning to look at the computer again, he spoke, "If Raito-kun will not tell me why he wants me to go to bed so early, then I am heading back to work."

"I want sex." Raito blunted out. When he noticed L's cheeks and neck color, he leaned over the chair, wrapping his arms around L's body. He whispered into L's ear, "I want you so badly it is painful."

"We could have sex after this case is solved." L said, feeling his face heat up even more. It has been forever since they had sex. He didn't want to leave his case unsolved but he did like the idea of having some alone time with his lover. When he felt a wet sensation run up his neck to his ear, he groaned, knowing what his lover was doing, "Raito-kun is… is trying to… to distract me… me from our conversation."

Raito stopped and growled under his breath. Of course, his lover would know what he was doing. They were the same and thought the same way. Looking up at the ceiling, he revealed, "I keep having nightmares of you dying. It… well… it…" He couldn't finish his statement.

"I see."

"You have no idea what I was…"

"It frightens Raito when I am not beside him." L finished as he turned to face his lover. They really do understand each other. He didn't have time when his lips were captured by Raito's. He leaned into the kiss. Yes, it was nice and it was heaven.

Pulling the older man up, Raito whispered, "We should take this into the bedroom." He didn't give L time to reply. He pulled the other with him to their bedroom. Yes, he was happy to be with L but he didn't need to say it.

When he was pushed on to the bed, L stared up at the Raito. He saw the lust within those honey eyes. He wanted to pull his legs up to his chest but he knew Raito hated when he did that. As he lay there, he wondered what the other man would do.

Raito looked into the drawer by the bed. Smirking, he pulled out handcuffs. So, he liked it a little rough. L didn't mind or at least he never said anything. He leaned over L and asked, "Want some?"

Looking at the handcuffs, L laughed loudly. Raito gave him a confused look, but he couldn't stop laughing. It was his thing in the past having handcuffs and to see them again made him think of their past lives. He wondered if they admit that they liked each other then would they have used them. He tilted his head and spoke through his laughter, "I would like to try." He really was giving up his pride.

Raito smirked down at his lover. Oh he had plans. Pulling L over his lap, he whispered, "Then you won't mind me doing this for not listening to me earlier."

Squirming on top of Raito's lap, L spoke, "I have no idea what you mean." Yes he did. He made Raito reveal his feelings. He hated when people would make him reveal his emotions and he knew Raito was the same way. He froze when he felt Raito's hand massaging his bottom. He turned his head and asked, "What is Raito-kun doing?"

Raito said nothing but pulled the lose jeans down to L's ankles. As he rubbed L's behind softly, molding his hands into the skin, he spoke, "You know how I do not like it when you confront my emotions. It makes me feel like you are testing me."

"I test everything."

"I do not like it." Raito repeated as he swung his hand hard against L's ass.

L squirmed and tried to get away from Raito's hand but he felt another smack against his thigh. He froze in place and wondered how it felt so good when it was so humiliating. He turned his head and sighed, "No matter what I say…" He stopped when he felt a moan building up. He bit his lip as Raito's hand landed hard on his behind. Yes, he was enjoying this and he knew Raito realized it. It was hard to miss his hardness against Raito's leg. He rubbed against Raito's pants to feel more heat building up.

Pulling L up, Raito kissed those lips hard. It was pleasure for him that L trusted him enough to do this to him. As he threw L back onto the bed, he stripped his clothes and climbed onto of L. Pulling L's shirt off of him, he pulled the blanket over their nude bodies. They squirmed against each other, feeling each other up. They were once again trying to dominate each other. He won in the end.

L was panting loudly and trying to gain his breath. He wanted Raito to already make love to him. As he searched the side table, he found the lube and threw it at Raito. Raito looked at him and he panted, "Do… not… not make me say it. I will… will only be… be pushed so… so far before I put… put a stop to it."

Raito stared at L for a few moments. He knew he couldn't push L anymore. He grabbed the handcuffs and pulled L's hands to the headboard. He locked L's wrists up. He spread L's legs apart and thrust in a finger. When he saw L's eyes show so much lust, he moaned himself. It was rare to see emotions in L's eyes and when it did happen, it made him hard.

Squirming on the bed, a mess from the fingers thrusting in and out of him, L ordered, "Fuck me already."

Raito didn't need to be told twice. He was at his point to. He threw L's legs over his shoulders and thrust in hard. He watched L's face to see the painful expression. He leaned down and kissed L, trying to distract him from the pain. When he felt L thrust upwards, he couldn't stop. He lost all control and began to thrust inside hard and rough. They moved together, dancing with each other, making love. Kisses were exchanged and the sounds of moans echo into the room. The chain rattled when L pulled at the handcuffs. It was too much for both of them and they came together with each other's names rolling of their lips. As he flopped beside L, Raito breathed heavy, "That was fun."

"Speak for yourself. My wrists are going to be bruised."

Raito unlocked the handcuffs and asked, "Why were you laughing about handcuffs?"

L turned to look at Raito and shook his head. When Raito gave him a look, he leaned over and kissed Raito. Pulling back, he replied, "Reminded me of a case I had a long time ago."

"It was funny about handcuffs."

"I once locked my person to a suspect. He was innocent and sent free. It reminded me of how difficult it was between us." L finally confessed.

"You are MINE." Raito hissed and pulled L into a heated kiss. Yes, L was his and the cases of the past where that the past.

L smiled and lay by his lover. Yes, the past was his to remember and only his too remember. It was time to move forward and forget about his first life.

A female looked at the two young men shaking her head amused. With a gentle smile, she whispered unheard by anyone else, "Finally you both saw the truth."
