Author's Note: I made this chapter longer than usually because it has to be enough for you for a longer period of time. The reason for that is the fact that tomorrow I start my holiday (I'm going for a horse-riding camp! *^*) and I won't have any time to write or upload. I suppose that the next part will be posted around the middle of July or even later ;)

When Light finally opened the eyes it was almost 11 a.m. He frowned brushing away his hair from the forehead. What was more shocking was the fact that Ryuuzaki was still in the bed with him and seemed to be asleep. Light smiled with affection and kissed the detective's cheek lightly so as not to wake him up. He wanted to stand up but a sudden arrow of pain which squeezed his back prevented him from doing it effectively.

'Oh fuck!' he swore collapsing on the pillows again with a grimace on the face.

'Is something wrong with my hearing or Raito-kun has just swore?' L opened his black eyes and looked at the boy stroking lightly his arm.

'Your hearing is completely proper in the opposite to my butt' Light snapped at him wincing with every move he did. 'Holy shit, how will I be able to walk?'

'I am terribly sorry for Raito-kun's suffering' L smirked embracing the teen. 'I got a little carried away yesterday, I admit' he said placing a kiss on Light's temple.

'We could have used some kind of a lube or so…' the boy drawled. 'Maybe it would have been less painful that way.'

'Oh, but we did use one, Raito-kun' Ryuuzaki took a little bottle from underneath his pillow and shook it in front of Light's eyes. 'See?'

'How…? Wait, strawberry flavor?' The teen goggled his eyes holding the bottle of pink lube in his fingers. 'When the hell did you find some time to use it?'

'Raito-kun was drowning in the sea of pleasure at that time so no wonder that he hadn't noticed' L chuckled. 'I like strawberries' he whispered to the boy's ear kissing lightly the earlobe.

'I was… what? You bastard' Light blushed turning his head away from the detective trying to hide his embarrassment.

'Does Raito-kun know how cute he is when he's begging for more? That is undeniably adorable' Ryuuzaki teased him playing with the boy's hair.

'Stop that. I am not cute!' Light drawled setting his teeth.

'Oh, yes, you are' L grasped his face in the hands. 'Right now Raito-kun is the cutest one in the world' he kissed the boy regardless of Light's protests. 'Aren't you going to complain about how much you hate when I do this?' He pecked the boy's nose. 'Or this?' He caressed his sensitive neck.

'Ryuuzaki, please…' Light moaned. 'This is not what I really am. I don't want to feel like… that. This… uncertainty, embarrassment is not what I should be like.' Light managed to sit.

'This is a part of Raito-kun as well' L said softly. 'He cannot deny it.'

'No one had ever made me feel this way before I met you, Ryuuzaki' Light admitted and smirked by a corner of his mouth which soon turned into a malicious grin. 'But if it's gonna be that painful each time we have sex then you'll have to buy a wheel-chair for me, you know' he reached for his bathrobe and tightened it around his waist to cover the naked body.

'Raito-kun is still really tight but we can work on it a bit' Ryuuzaki winked at the boy.

'Pervert…!' he hissed and stood up ignoring the piercing pain. 'Our next time I'll get my revenge' he smiled dangerously. 'And I won't get laid that easily.' He started limping to the closet.

'We shall see' L came to him only in his pajamas' pants and helped him walk.

'Damn it! I cannot squat!' Light squeaked feeling deeply embarrassed because of the hopeless situation he was found in. He hated being completely depended on another person.

'What Raito-kun wants me to hand him?' Ryuuzaki asked.

'Don't get me wrong but I'd rather you didn't pick up my underwear' the boy snapped and kneeled in front of the drawers breathing in the air with a groan of pain.

'If Raito-kun prefers to suffer then I should back and let him. And I would if I could but seeing him in pain makes me suffer as well.' L helped the teen stand up and gave him his trousers and white t-shirt. 'There is a little surprise for you in the bathroom.' He smiled taking his hand.

'Is that so?' Light didn't like the sound of the word "surprise" in L's mouth.

'Raito-kun doesn't have to be worried' Ryuuzaki assured. 'I am rather positive that he will like it'

'Knowing you it can be anything' Light sighed. 'What idea did you come up with this time?'

'You'll see by yourself' the detective let the boy lean against him and led him to the bathroom along the corridor. He stopped right in front of the door to the room.

'Why did you stop?' Light asked raising a brow.

'Go first, Raito-kun' L pushed him a bit to the entrance. The teen shrugged his arms and entered the bathroom. His skeptical smile quickly turned into the surprised one.

'How the hell did it appear here?' Light widened his eyes.

'You've missed your baths, haven't you?' L wrapped his arms around the teen's waist placing his chin on Light's shoulder.

'How would you know that?' Light's cheeks turned red. 'I haven't ever mentioned you anything about it.'

'I know all your habits quite well, Raito-kun. I'd known them before we actually met. Don't you remember that I once ordered to install the system of the cameras in your house?' Ryuuzaki asked letting go of his embrace and looking at the boy in front of him.

'Well, yeah, I remember… but please, won't say now that you installed them in my bathroom as well' Light's cheeks turned into a shade of plum.

'No!' L denied firmly. 'I would never do anything like that! I am not a psycho pervert or anything like that, Raito-kun' He defended quickly feeling a bit offended that the teen could come up with such a ridiculous idea.

'Ok, I may believe you this time' Light's eyes shined as he smiled. 'Thank you for this, Ryuuzaki. I'm gonna try this big bathtub out in a minute' he seemed to be excited.

'Please, do so, I will be pleased, Raito-kun' L came to the bathtub and unscrewed the taps filling the tub with hot water and adding the essential oils.

'Wow, thanks, L' Light stood next to the detective. 'What?' Ryuuzaki was staring directly at the boy.

'What Raito-kun is waiting for?' He took a step toward the teen and undid his bathrobe uncovering the smooth bare skin of the boy.

'Whoa, not that fast, Ryuuzaki!' Light pushed away the detective's hands blushing to ears. 'You can't just come to me and pull my clothes off!'

'Why not? Am I not Raito-kun's boyfriend?' L's eyes were wide open and stabbed directly to his caramel ones. Boyfriend? So we've come that far…, Light thought.

'Well, I guess yes, sort of at least.' He answered hesitatingly.

'So where's the problem?' Ryuuzaki tilted his head a bit irritated. 'Take that funny piece of clothes off and get into the water. I am going to make you as relaxed so that you'll forget about the pain' The boy didn't move though. 'What is it?' L frowned. 'You're not ashamed, are you?' He asked suspiciously. Light stabbed his sight to his feet feeling the burning cheeks and being well aware of L's eyes observing him. 'Heavens, yes, you are' Ryuuzaki smirked. 'Who would suppose? Light Yagami - the one who has never feared anything, who has never hesitated - is ashamed…?' He came closer to the boy and grasped his chin. 'And you claim that you are not cute?' He kissed Light deeply and took the bathrobe off him. 'There's nothing to be ashamed of when one has such a beautiful body, Light. Get into the bathtub before the water gets cold' he whispered near the teen's lips and pulled him exigently. 'Look at this! The sponge is heart-shaped! Isn't it sweet, Raito-kun?'

...

'So shall we go to the computer room now?' Light asked some time after really pleasant surprise Ryuuzaki had prepared for him. The slow movements of the sponge and L's delicate touch had truly loosened his tucked muscles and he felt completely relaxed afterwards. It hadn't soothed the pain though and Light still had to limp like an old man avoiding any urgent moves.

After the bath the boy had asked again how the tub had appeared in the bathroom during the night. Ryuuzaki answered that he simply couldn't sleep as long as Light had so he had slipped from the bed in the very early morning and called for Watari to provide the bathtub. After that the boy had wanted to know how the detective had got the strawberry lube. It wasn't a thing everybody would posses after all.

'Oh, that matter…' Ryuuzaki had chuckled with slight embarrassment. 'I actually had hoped that something would happen between us. The lube was just for a special case. Raito-kun would better be happy that I'd had it. I am quite sure that if it wasn't for that little bottle he would have suffered much more.'

He planned everything, the boy had thought then. So typical for him.

Light was holding the chain waiting for L to handcuff them again so that they would be ready to come back to work.

'Are you sure that you can cope, Raito-kun?' Ryuuzaki hesitated taking the chain and locking it around his and the boy's wrist.

'Simple sitting on a chair in front of the screen doesn't require any sudden movements, L. I can manage' Light bridled at him. 'I am not disabled'

'Ok, let's go then' Ryuuzaki took the teen's hand and clasped their fingers closing the door to their apartment. They went down the corridor holding their hands. In the past Light had had plenty of girlfriends with whom he'd used to hold hands as well but he had never experienced the feeling which was overwhelming him now. It was really embarrassing that L's presence had such a big influence on his own body. Light felt the butterflies in the stomach and his cheeks turned involuntarily red as they came into the elevator.

'Do not tell me that you have a fever again, Raito-kun' L placed his second hand on the boy's forehead. 'I won't let you fall sick anymore.'

'I-it's not the matter of f-fever, Ryuuzaki' he stuttered in response.

'I see…' L smiled understanding and joined their lips in a gentle kiss. 'Stop that blushing, Raito-kun. Although it's adorable it can cause too much uncomfortable questions.'

'I'm not sure if I want my father to know about us' Light started. 'I'm afraid that it could make him faint or even worse - he can really piss off. I don't want to give him another reason to be stressed. Not after the heart attack he once had.'

'Everything in the right time, Light. I'm not going to press you to do anything.' L stroked the boy's cheek as the elevator stopped on the ground floor and let go of their hands. 'Can you walk alone?' He asked seeing the teen's wincing face.

'I have to' the boy drawled. 'Don't worry about it. I'm fine.' He set his teeth and forced himself to stay calm and walk normally. Each step was like a needle into his back but he managed to maintain the emotionless facial expression. Only L could notice the teen's suffering but obediently left Light alone.

'Eventually you two managed to appear' Aizawa welcomed them with a malicious smirk. 'How is it possible that you aren't on time, Ryuuzaki?'

'I have to control Raito-kun's sleeping hours' the detective replied. 'He won't ever reach the state of total exhaustion again.'

'That's understandable of course… But it's 12:17 p.m. for god's sake! Did Raito-kun sleep that long?' The man crossed his arms.

'Do not call me like that' the boy hissed. 'Ryuuzaki has the only right to do so.' He sat on a chair cursing in thoughts that he had let L do whatever he'd wanted with him last night. Suddenly he noticed Matsuda who was grinning like a fool. 'I see that you're in a great mood today' he said to him tilting his head.

'Nothing really important' the man answered still smiling widely. 'I'm just checking something. And I'm satisfied with the results of my studies.'

'Whatever it is, I assume that it's not connected with our case so I suggest coming back to your research, Mr. Matsuda' L said hoarsely. 'It concerns all of you, gentlemen' he added taking a glance at every member of the team. The policemen quickly came back to their work and mumbling quiet apologies they left the computer room.

Walking down the corridor Matsuda grasped Aizawa's sleeve.

'What is it?' Aizawa asked taking a look at the younger man. 'Haven't you heard L's words?'

'We need to talk' Matsuda said giving him a serious glance. 'Come with me to the monitoring room.'

...

'I'm telling you that something's on!' Matsuda said searching for the right camera. Aizawa was looking at him with pity. Just another figment of the vivid imagination of Matsuda, he thought rolling his eyes.

'And I say that it's highly improbable. C'mon, man, you seriously think that these two are actually in love? It would be like Romeo and Juliet but even worse because they would have to be gays. Don't try to convince me that Soichiro's boy is not straight.' Aizawa snorted.

'Aha! There they are!' Matsuda found L and Light in the computer room alone.

He and Aizawa bent to the screen and started observing in focus. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes and still nothing.

'You're an idiot, Matsuda' the other policeman said. 'Let's not waste our time more than we've already… oh, my goodness!' He goggled his eyes staring at the screen. 'Matsuda! Can you see it?!' Aizawa was truly shocked.

'Yeah! Holy fuck! I actually wasn't sure if they were in love until now!' The detective was observing how L from the record gently pulled Light to himself and kissed him deeply.

'I wonder what Soichiro will say when he gets to know…' Aizawa chuckled. 'I guess he won't be pleased'

Matsuda wasn't listening. He was still in shock. I was right!, he thought cheerfully seeing how Light was stroking the back of L. Holy shit, for the first time I was right!

'What will we do with this knowledge?' Aizawa asked. 'Should we announce them that we know about their little secret?'

Matsuda was still drowned deeply in the hurricane of his thoughts searching for the previous records. First from three weeks before - Light stands up, comes to L and kisses him roughly.

Second - it was after their particularly great argument. The day when Matsuda had started suspecting that they could be in love. They talk not looking at each other. Light sits on the armchair, L - on his chair. The detective starts to cry and turns around to the screen. Light slowly stands up and comes to him. Then Ryuuzaki turns to the boy again. Yagami squats and grasps his face. They stay like that for a while and then Light turns away and comes back to his armchair…

'This is… so damn sad' Matsuda whispered feeling his throat squeezing. 'It's like they're trying to fight this feeling…'

'Don't tell me that you're going to cry, Matsuda. If so, I'm leaving right now' Aizawa threatened seeing teary eyes of his friend.

'And what is that?' The policeman clicked on the sole record from the bottom of the screen. 'A room? Do you know where it is, Aizawa?'

'I have no idea' the second policeman looked at the screen. Matsuda started rewinding the mysterious tape.

'Hey, wait. Something has just changed' the man behind him put a hand on his shoulder. He stopped far-forwarding and clicked to play.

'It's Light, isn't it?' He asked. 'In… pajamas?' They watched as the boy from the record sat on a bed and hid his face in the hands. 'He looks so dejected...'

'I know what this record shows' Aizawa said suddenly. 'Do you remember when Light was ill? Ryuuzaki ordered to install one additional camera in their room so as he could keep an eye on the young Yagami for all of the time…'

'You think that this is their bedroom?' Matsuda was staring at the screen.

'Yeah, and now switch it off and let's come back to our work. We shouldn't be here…'

'Look! L comes in!' The man seemed not to be listening at all.

Ryuuzaki from the tape came to the sitting boy and sat next to him.

'Such a shame that we cannot hear what they say' Matsuda was disappointed. 'No way!' He exclaimed. 'Light is blushing! Do you see it? He's blushing like a shy girl!'

'Matsuda, switch it off at once!' Aizawa shouted seeing how the detective from the record was kissing the teen.

'Is it my imagination or is Yagami crying… or laughing?' Matsuda was in his own world. 'I would have never thought that I would live to see such a scene! He's always so serious and never shows any emotions!' He sighed deeply having a dreamy expression.

'Where is that damn button?!' Aizawa was trying to turn the screen off seeing that the things on the record were heating on - L had already pushed Light on the bed and was bending over him. When he finally succeeded the screen became blank.

'You're a perverted idiot, Matsuda' he said angrily. 'If you weren't my friend I would kick you out of the window right now.'

'Do you know when it was recorded?' The policeman ignored his pissed off mate. 'Yesterday!'

'Yesterday? Well, this explains why they were that late today' Aizawa smirked involuntarily. 'But you're still an idiot!'

...

Light and L were left in the computer room all alone. The teen was trying to focus on his task though it was pretty difficult to do so when Ryuuzaki was that close.

'Raito-kun surprised me today' L said after a quarter of working in silence.

'How?' Light pretended to be deeply absorbed by his research.

'He said that I was the only one who had the right to call him "Raito-kun"' the detective responded taking a peek at the boy.

'Well, that's true. I don't want anybody else to call me like that. What's so surprising about it?' Light raised a brow but was stubbornly stabbing his sight to the monitor.

'Why does he claim so?' L tilted his head being curious.

'Isn't that rather obvious, L?' The boy sighed. 'No one but you is my friend here. They don't have any right to call me so then. End of subject.' He quickly came back to flicking through the reports because he'd found something interesting and wanted to prove right his little discovery. 'Hey, I feel your sight on me.' He threw in to L. 'Can you stop? It's rather difficult to focus in such conditio…' he couldn't finish as his mouth was shut in a deep kiss Ryuuzaki gave him. After a while of surprise he smoothly gave in stroking lightly the detective's back.

'What was that for?' He asked catching a breath still near the L's lips.

'No specific reason' Ryuuzaki replied smiling. 'Kissing Raito-kun is really amusing and provides the great enjoyment. I guess, I'll never have enough.'

'Um, fine' Light pushed away his hands and backed flushing. 'But stop disturbing me while I'm actually working. We'll have plenty of time for such things afterwards.' he turned to the screen again.

'You know that having said that you won't be able to resist me afterwards?' He stressed the last word smirking.

'You'd better look at what I found, L' Light snapped at him.

'What is it, Raito-kun?' Ryuuzaki became serious at once and bent forward the teen's screen.

'Don't you think that it's a bit suspicious that the Yotsuba Group's stocks are constantly rising while the others' are drastically decreasing?' Light asked analyzing the graphs.

'Yes, indeed…' L started to tap something on his keyboard in the speed of light. 'This might be useful, Raito-kun. If Yotsuba Group has something to do with the Kira case then it might mean that…'

'That Kira's true goal is strictly the matter of affluence and killing criminals was just a disguise.' Light finished for him.

'Indeed' Ryuuzaki nodded quickly. 'That would mean that…' the sudden noise in the corridor interrupted him.

'L! We've got another murder!' Soichiro rushed to the room panting heavily.

Light and Ryuuzaki took a look at themselves and stood up at the same time following the policeman quickly.

What is that supposed to mean?, Light wondered. How is it possible? I've already given up on being Kira and Misa doesn't have her memories either!
'Slow down a bit, L' he panted. 'My back won't take such a pace anymore!'
