Summary: AU. SLASH. Light refused the Death Note because he's MUCH more powerful then it. But, I won't reveal what it or HE is. He'd want to tell you himself. Oh, and what does this 'L' person have to do with all this? What's all this talk about soul mates, a magical bonding spell, angelic wings, and gold eyes? Well, Light knows all...

Warnings for this chapter: Real Name (L)
Sweet Intoxication
Chapter 13
Light didn't even get answers once L and him left B's 'room'. L took Light back to his room, left him there, closed the door, and locked it. Light was left, dumbfounded, in the center of his big, empty room. He let out a sigh and looked at his bed. It was made and looked as if new, fresh sheets have been put on. He figured it was Watari's doing.
The brunette stood in place for a good ten minutes, random questions that he didn't know the answers to ran through his mind. He hated nothing more. Not knowing what was going on or not having answers to his questions. He absolutely loathed it.
Knock, knock.
Light watched as the golden door nob was turned after a lock was undid. A petite blond was shoved into the room before the door once more shut and locked. Misa looked at Light with a confused look on her face.
"What was that about?" She asked, voice sounding like a 10-year-old's, as always.
Light just shrugged at his fellow Dolia. Misa straightened her poof-y black skirt and fixed the straps on her pink corset. She walked over to Light, the Gothic boots making her two inches higher then usual.
"Did something happen?" She asked, leaning forward, studying Light's face.
"I don't think so..." Light muttered, eyebrows furrowing into a worried crease. What if he did? Light didn't want L to be upset.
"Oh, well then!" She said, smiling. "Must be his time of the month then." She giggled before moving towards the big window, her perfume filling Light's senses. He wrinkled his nose a tad. L smelt much better.
"So, why are you here?" Light asked, turning around to see Misa looking out the window. She turned to him, a shocked expression washed over her face.
"Oh, I get it." She said, pouting her lips and looking back out the window. "I'm not wanted here."
Light rolled his eyes. "I didn't mean it like that, Misa." He said while walking over to the blond. He looked outside and was slightly shocked but mostly impressed.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Misa whispered, looking out also. Light just nodded in response.
The outside world was busy and wonderful. Japan was always crowded, but you got used to it. The view from up in Light's room, it was simply breath-taking. Cars, people, and smaller buildings blended together in a magical way, the sun making the city shine. Light missed walking down the sidewalk with Ryuk in tow. He was never alone.
Light turned from the window and sat on his tidy bed. He intertwined his own fingers together and he stared at them. "Misa..." He began.
The blond looked over her shoulder and smiled, not that Light noticed. "Yes, Light-chan?" She asked.
"...have you met B?"
Misa shivered but nodded and turned her body. She glided over to his side and sat down beside the boy. "Yeah, I have.....what about him?"
"He's our doctor..." Light muttered.
"...yes?" Misa said, tone not in question but more of an obvious answer.
Light sighed, frustrated. "You know about his past, right?"
Misa nodded. "Of course. But, I've known B-chan longer then you have, so I'm fine with him....I think we can call each other friends."
Light snorted. Misa and Beyond being friends? Preposterous.
Misa pouted and crossed her arms, her bust creating a cleavage. "What's so funny?!" She demanded.
Light shook his head with a small smile on his face. "It's nothing..." He muttered. Misa uncrossed her arms.
"You know, Light.." Misa whispered, her fingertips brushing the bed's covers. She looked down at the pattern while Light looked at the petite blond. "L talks about you....a lot. He talks about you so much, it begins to annoy me."
Light, although shocked, chuckled a little at Misa. He let her continue.
"He always talks about either how intelligent you are or he asks me if Dolias exist...." Misa let out a sigh.
"Did you ever tell him?" Light asked.
Misa giggled and nodded her head, finally turning her lavender eyes towards Light. They were shining with amusement and glee, like a small child on their birthday. He smiled at her. A true smile, one that reached his eyes.
"All he did was send me to a shrink. I got bored with it and pretended to have a split personality. That was so fun!" Misa giggled once again, "The doc told L and L has kept me locked up ever since. But, I dropped the act a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure he knows."
The supermodel looked back at her small hands and sighed. Light also looked down.
"I want to leave..." Light muttered. Misa looked up and gave him a sad smile.
"I know you do, Light..." She said.
The brunette boy gave a tight smile. Then realization hit him. He looked up at the girl.
"Hey, Misa..."
The woman blinked. "Yes, Light-chan?" She asked, teasing him with her nick-name for him.
He ignored it as always, "Do you know what 'Wammy's House' is?"
Misa nodded quickly. "Yup!" She exclaimed happily.
Light breathed out with a smile. Her grabbed her shoulders and looked at her.
"Misa, will you please answer my questions about it, with the best of your knowledge?"
Misa grinned and nodded, "Ask away, Light-chan!"
"What is it?"
"What is what?"
"Whammy's House."
"What about Wammy's House?"
"What is it?!"
"What is what?"
"Misa!" Light whined, causing the girl to laugh.
"Sorry Light-chan! But, I had sugar this morning."
Light sighed and Misa placed her small, cold hand on Light's forearm.
"Really. I'm sorry," Misa said. She took her hand away and began, "Whammy's house is a place where L's successors live and learn."
Light rose a brow. "L has...successors?"
Misa nodded, "Watari funded it, I think. I can't remember, but he has some big thing to do with it. Anyway, everyone has a ranking. The ages vary from seven to eighteen. They all have alias's and are, like, little geniuses! It's so crazy!"
Light furrowed his eyebrows. Wammy's House, huh?
"Oh, and it's an orphanage."
Light looked at the blond, eyes wide. "What?"
"None of them have living relatives--"
"I know what an orphan is, Misa, but....all of them? Living together?" Light was slightly confused.
Misa nodded, "Yeah. They're, like, a big family. All living together. Learning, interacting, and growing together. L visits once and a while, but he's always so busy with cases. Did you know he's the three top detectives in the world?"
"Three?!" Light said.
Misa again nodded, "Mhm! I don't understand how he does it, but he's super smart. Anyway, it's like an ecosystem or something like that!"
Light didn't know what to say or do. Whammy's house? L's 3 alias's? Crazy...
"Light-chan shouldn't look so frustrated." Misa said, smiling. Light shook his head.
"You're right. So, you say L visits there?"
Misa nodded.
"Have you ever been there?"
Misa shook her head. "No." She muttered.
"Where is it, exactly?"
"Winchester, England." She said, her pronunciation of the town a little rough. Light suspected that she didn't know that much English.
Light let out another sigh. It seemed he's been doing this lots lately. He was probably too stressed.
"Where did L go?" He asked.
Misa giggled, "I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that one, Light." She said, smiling. Light nodded. Of course. L was mysterious, but that's what intrigued Light. L, a man of many names. He probably had more then 300 alias's. No one knew the true L. Why did he hide behind those masks? Did he not want anyone close to him? Light found it stupid. This was his mate!L Lawliet is Light's mate! It was obvious that they had to know each other. Light wasn't going to wait around for L to come to his senses and admit that Light was right, because he knew L wouldn't admit that. He was like a child. Hated losing. Just like Light.
"Misa, I need to win L's heart."
Misa 'squeed' and giggled excitedly at her friend. "I was wondering when Light-chan was going to come to his senses and ask for my help!"
Light rose a brow while looking at her. But he shook his head. "Will you?"
Misa nodded, "Of course, Light!"
Light sighed as Misa started talking about random things that L liked or loved. Candy was a huge thing, no doubt. Sigh. Light couldn't go too much into his plan, so he'll very slowly begin it. Right now.
-+-
MONTH ONE
Light didn't make much progress. It's been a month, and he still has locks on his door. L doesn't visit much, but Misa does. They continue to talk about different plans and how to catch L's attention. The brunette had beaten L in a game of chess, which impressed and also angered the detective. Light or Misa didn't think if it was good or bad. They left it alone.
"Light-chan, I think the next step is kindness."
Light nodded. "Okay. And just....how am I going to be nice to him when I barely see him?"
Misa tapped her chin with a thin finger, her wings fluttering on her back as she and Light laid stomach down on his carpet. The two always see the other in their true form, but others couldn't. They weren't bothered by it.
"Hey, Light!" The blond said, alerting the boy.
Light rose a brow at her.
"Can you tell me who my mate is?" She asked.
Light widened his eyes. "No, I can't Misa."
Misa pouted. "Damn." She muttered. She looked at her pink, sparkly notebook that had all of their plans written in. She kept a Dolia spell on it, so only Dolia eyes can see the true meaning of their words. Humans would only see contact numbers and names. Light was amazed at it.
Light saw through his Dolia eyes and looked above Misa's head. There was Misa's name...and....
Light gasped. No. Freakin'. Way.
"Alright, Light! I have a plan!" Misa giggled evilly and she shoved her plan in Light's face.
-+-
MONTH TWO
Light couldn't believe Misa's last plan actually worked! L visited more often, but not too much like he hoped. The box of chocolate that he left at L's door shocked, yet gladdened, the detective.
"How did you know I loved chocolate, Light-kun?" L asked the day he received them. Light only shrugged and slightly blushed as L smiled at him. Yes. It was progress.
"Light-chan!" Misa yelled, waving her hand in front of Light's face. He broke out of his daydream.
"What?" He asked.
"I've found out what L's favorite fruit is!" She said, grinning like a madman.
"And?"
"Strawberries!"
Why wasn't Light surprised?
"So?" Light asked.
"So?! I know what will make you irresistible to the man!" Misa giggled. Light looked at her as she grabbed the plastic bag she had with her when she came in. She placed some of the things in front of the teen.
Light picked up a plastic bottle and read the label. "Strawberry Paradise? Misa, what is this?" He picked up another one, "Yum Yum Strawberry?"
Misa giggled, "I went all out for you! I bought shampoo, conditioner, perfume--"
"Perfume?! I'm not a girl, Misa!"
"Well, there wasn't any strawberry scented cologne!" She argued, "Anyway, strawberry soap, strawberry toothpaste, and even strawberry lube." Misa waggled her eyebrows and laughed as Light flushed red and bowed his head in embarrassment.
Misa dumped the rest of the strawberry goodies onto the bed. Light groaned as he saw the small plastic bottle of lube.
Later that day...
Light laid in his bed, hair damp from the shower he had just taken. Misa left while he was in there, telling him that she'd send L to the room later. Light just accepted his fate about smelling like strawberries for the rest of his life. He used the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toothpaste. He found it ridiculous, but whatever got L's attention....
Knock, knock.
Light twitched in his bed as someone knocked on the door. He sat up quickly, fixed his shirt
and hair rather quickly before saying:
"Come in."
Locks unlocked and the door opened. The beautiful porcelain-skinned man stood there in the doorway, hunched. Hands in his pockets, black eyes slight bored as he looked into the room. They perked slightly when they landed on Light. Light smiled, getting the reaction he was expecting, was getting there.
"Light-kun wanted to see me?" The raven-haired man stated. Light nodded.
"Come, L. Sit with me." Light said, dropping his voice a few tones, hopefully sounding suggestive and husky. He guessed it worked, since L shut the door behind him as he walked forward, to the bed. L relaxed against the fluffy pillows and Light settled closer to the detective.
They sat for a while, Light staring at the detective, and the detective looking at the bed top.
"Light-kun...." L whispered.
"Yes, L?" Light asked.
L looked over at Light, mouth open to speak, but, instead closed it and leaned in, only inches away from Light's face. Light leaned in slowly, his heart fluttering. L was going to kiss him! The teen moistened his pink lips and almost closed his eyes, but opened them as he noticed L stopped moving closer. They were centimeters apart, staring at each other. Silent, until L spoke.
"Light-kun....you smell of strawberries."
-+-
MONTH THREE
L let Light call his parents, telling them fake stories that he came up with. The teen didn't like it one bit, but he knew he had to do it. The detective also got a television for Light, so he wouldn't get too bored being locked up in his room. The teen found it nice that L was thinking of him, not letting him rot away in his room like some--
"Liiiiiiiiiggggghhhhtttt-ccccchhhhhhaaaaaaaaannnnnn~!" Misa sung as she burst into Light's room. L gave her a key so she didn't have to go bother him by asking to open the door.
Light sighed as he dropped the remote control to his 50'' flat screen TV. Misa came to visit again.
"Yes, Misa?" He asked. The blond wore purple and black stockings that reached mid thigh with only a long, black tee-shirt that barely showed her silk underwear when she walked. Her hair was in two high-pigtails, also.
"Light! Do you know what today is?!" She asked, eyes gleaming as she rushed to the bed and jumped onto it, her legs tucked under her.
".....Halloween in America?" Light guessed, raising a brow as Misa concealed her outburst.
"NO!" She yelled. Light winced.
"Then was is it?" Light asked.
Misa crawled towards the teen so that they were inches apart. She whispered, "No, silly." Then she yelled: "It's kinda your mate's BIRTHDAY!"
Light didn't wince this time.
"Misa, are you lying to me?" Light asked.
"No! Misa is not!" The perky blond yelled. Light got out of bed faster then he ever had.
"Dammit! What do I do, Misa?!" Light asked, running to his wardrobe and throwing it open, looking for something to wear. He was currently wearing beige corduroy pants and a black, long-sleeved shirt with a wide collar. He looked around, shoving a hand through his brown hair.
Misa came sauntering towards him from his bed and looked around. She grabbed a black button-up shirt and faded blue jeans, then tossed them at Light, who was currently heading to his private bathroom.
"That should do it!" She yelled after he closed the door. She closed the wardrobe doors and went back to sitting on Light's bed, grabbing the remote control and flipping through the satellite feed.
After...
Light finished buttoning his shirt and came out of the bathroom, hair perfect (smelling of strawberries), clothes perfect, and almost everything perfect.
"You look so good, Light!" Misa gushed, prancing around the teenager.
"Thanks, Misa. Hey, can I go see him?" Light asked.
Misa nodded, "Of course!" She went to the door, unlocked it, and opened it wide for the boy. Light walked out, socks only on his feet. L didn't give him slippers or shoes, since he wasn't going outside anytime soon.
"He doesn't have a room, Light. You can just go to the usual place. He should be there." Misa instructed, pointing to the elevator doors.
"Alright, thanks again." Light said, turning.
"I'll be down in awhile! I'll go get ready!" Misa yelled while running to the staircase. That's how she got her daily exercise.
Light pressed the button '36' and down him and the elevator went. What was he going to do? He didn't have a gift. It was only polite to buy someone something for their birthday, especially if the person was your soul mate.
…..
Tennis. Light could challenge L to a game of tennis! Of course. Misa told Light that L's favorite sport was tennis, and it only made sense that Light challenged him. It was win-win for Light! He'd spend time with L, and also give him a birthday present. Yes. This would work.
DING!
The doors opened and Light rushed out, all the way to the usual room that he was aloud to go to.
When he got there, he twisted the knob and opened it, finding that the detective was sitting on the couch, working at a laptop.
"Hello, Light-kun." He said without turning to look at the teen.
"Hi, L." Light muttered, feeling a blush cover his nose and under his eyes. "Happy Birthday." He said quickly.
The raven looked at the teen, eyes wide. "How did you know it was my birthday?" He asked.
"Misa told me." Light said, walking over to his mate. L muttered the blond's name, eyes looking at the floor.
The brunette sat down heavily onto the couch beside L. "Oh, you're welcome, L."
Said man cocked a brow, until understanding what the brunette meant. "Thank you, Light-kun. For wishing me a happy birthday." He muttered, looking at the teen.
Light smiled and a light shade of pink dusted his cheeks. "I apologize that I didn't get you a gift, but...I was wondering if you'd like to...maybe....play a game of tennis with me?" Light looked at his white socks, rubbing his feet on the floor.
Silence invaded the two mates. L thought for a couple of minutes, contemplating the situation. Light hoped that L accepted.
"I suppose that I could, Light-kun." The detective finally said, giving Light a small barely there smile.
"Really?!" Light asked, disbelieved.
"Yes. Would you like to challenge me now? Watari can take us to the university, so we can play on the courts."
Light nodded quickly. "Umm, I can go get the proper outfit on..."
"Sure. We'll leave in 10 minutes."
Light couldn't believe he was going to be outside again.
-+-
"That's game, Ryuuazki." Light panted, wiping the sweat from his brow. They'd been playing for a few hours, and finally Light won. L seemed to be impressed.
"You're really good at tennis, Light-kun. Did you ever compete?" L asked, also wiping the sweat.
Light nodded and began to walk back to his mate. Watari stood by the fence door, just in case Light tried to escape. "Yes, I did. But I quit when no one could beat me."
"Is Light-kun proud of that?" L asked, meeting up with the teen. Both of them headed towards Watari, the sun shining down on them.
"I guess. I'm trying not to be so...how do I say it....narcissistic." Light joked. Both laughed a little and left the fenced tennis court. Light wore shorts, a thin tee-shirt, socks, and tennis shoes that L had supplied him with. Watari let Light use his old tennis racket, and it was rarely used. Light thanked the old man.
"Congratulations, Yagami-kun." Watari said, bowing slightly as the two mates past him while leaving.
Light smiled and bowed back, "Thank you, Watari."
L bumped Light's hand. "Come on, Light-kun." He muttered, turning towards Watari's car. All three walked towards it and headed back to L's office/home.
Back in the workplace....
"Wow! So, Light really beat you at tennis, L?!" Misa asked, her face shocked. She wore a black lace dress that poof-ed out, arm warmers that went from her knuckles to almost her armpits, and wore black tights that cut off at the top of her tight, buckles strapping them to her panties so they wouldn't fall down. She wore no shoes, and had her small ponytails in her hair, only slightly thicker.
"Hahaha!" B laughed, dressed as usual, only without the doctor wear. He sat exactly like L, and ate/drank whenever he did. Light found that extremely odd. "That's hilarious, L. You lost to someone. Light-kun, thank you for finally showing the detective that he's not all that and a bag of potato chips."
L, Light, Misa, and Watari looked over at B, their faces confused at his choice of words.
"Umm....you're welcome?" Light muttered, raising a brow at Doctor Birthday. BB only smiled creepily.
"I will admit that Light-kun was a very tough opponent, and that he won fair and square." L muttered, looking down at his piece of strawberry cake. All five sat around a dining table, Watari serving things only when asked to do so.
"Light-chan must be so happy!" Misa giggled, "Beating L at tennis is such an achievement!" The petite model sipped her glass of water after speaking.
"Not really. L was really good at it." Light said, seeing L up at him.
"Thank you, Light-kun." L said, smiling. Light only smiled back, his stomach feeling fuzzy.
"Annnyyywaayyyyy...." B muttered, looking slightly annoyed. "How was being outside, Light? I haven't been out in almost two years."
Light's eyes widened. "Two years?!"
"Yup. But please, tell me what it was like." B folded his hands and rested his head on them, staring at the teen.
"The sun felt amazing. I missed it's rays so much. The smell of outside was wonderful. I've missed everything. I cannot believe it's been three months already." Light smiled when he remembered everything of the outside world. It was a real treat for him.
Misa smiled and clapped her hands together quickly. "Oh, L, can we all please go for a picnic before snow falls and it gets colder?! I'd love for everyone to go out and have some fun!" Misa pleaded while she clasped her hands together and shook them at L's direction. Everyone looked at the detective. He only looked back.
"I'll think about it." He muttered, looking back down at his cake and taking a bite. B did the same, almost in sync.
An hour and a half later, Watari began collecting the plates and cups from everyone and taking them to the kitchen to be washed.
"I'll be going now. Thank you for the cake and drinks, L. Happy Birthday." B said before leaving back to his room. L didn't say anything, just watched his backup leave.
"Misa Misa is going to her room, too! I hope you had a great birthday, L-chan!" Misa smiled and gave L a huge hug before leaving. Light slightly glared as the blond left. How dare she hug his mate. L was his.
"Light-kun?"
Light looked at L, who was watching him. "Yes?" Light asked.
"I'd like to accompany you back to your room. If it is alright." L muttered, studying Light's face. The teen nodded and they left.
"Thank you for the cake, L. I usually don't eat sweets...and you usually don't share."
L chuckled. "Yes. You are most welcome, Light-kun." Then they walked in silence.
Upon reaching Light's room, the teen noticed that the locks had been taken off. All of them. The only one remaining was the one from the inside.
"L...the locks..." Light whispered, eyes widened.
L smiled and opened the door. "I had Watari take them off after we settled in the dining area. It seems that you have won my trust. Not all of it, but some. You are equal to Misa, but I cannot let you leave by yourself yet."
Light grinned and gave L a crushing hug. He whispered thank yous into his ear repeatedly, overjoyed that L was trusting him and that he was making progress.
"You are welcome, Light-kun. But, I should be the one saying thank yous, since it is my birthday."
Light smirked evilly. He looked at the detective's face and stared into his eyes. He leaned in, then gave L a quick kiss on the lips. It lasted only 2 seconds, then Light placed his lips by L's pale ear. "You're welcome." He whispered before slipping into his room and closing the door, locking it.
L, who was still outside Light's door, felt his lips with his pale fingertips and noticed that how oddly they tingled. What was this strange feeling in his heart?
