-Sits there mumbling to herself, Raito pouring hot water into a bucket while she keeps her feet into the bucket, L bringing over some herbal tea, both having a glare on their face.-

I'm proud to announce to you all that I hate colds! This is horrible! Although I'm sure I can get chapter 6 done before I am officially unable to move, not only that but I needed to get these ideas down before I completely forgot them…Except don't murder me if this isn't the best…Actually it's going to be far from the best I've ever done, and while calculating the chapters, it's official that there's going to be 8 chapters to this fan fiction and one epilogue. I'm sorry I'm not making it longer, but making it longer would just make things repeat themselves over and over, I didn't have much of a open story to make it longer.

-She takes a sip of her tea-

But have no fear! My second fan fiction is going to be much longer then this one!

L: I'm sure a much longer story is what everyone fears…

Raito: Your mind is so corrupted!

Me: -Snickers- you're all just jeal---- -Falls asleep-

Raito blinks and takes out a stick, poking me before turning to L and giving him a high five: "Score! She's asleep!"

L: Finally some peace and quiet!

L and Raito: ….

Raito: Let's go take a shower.

L: Good idea.

Chapter 6: Together…Forever?

Raito tossed and turned in bed…Again…That damned nightmare, they were both standing on the towers across from one another, and there he was, with red hair, obviously symbolizing Kira.

But how? Why? What was going on? He watched L fall to his death once more: "L!!!! DON'T!!!" He reached out and actually grabbed L this time, keeping him from falling. He held on tight, eyes watering for no reason. L glanced up with his large eyes once more: "I was right…" Was all he said?

Temptation washed over him, his heart clenched yet began to beat faster, and a smirk crossed his lips…Why? He let go…He actually let go of the grip he had on L, watching him fall with…satisfaction?

Raito sat up panting again, clenching his blanket, he hated that dream, more like a nightmare, and they scared him more and more… He glanced beside him…L wasn't there, oh why tonight of all the nights? He had to see him… He slipped out of bed, wearing only boxers tonight since it seemed like the heater broke and was at a deadly temperature.

He was relieved to see L on the couch, apparently asleep by the way his head was bowed and laptop was still on. Raito frowned and sat down beside him, knowing L should still have a grudge against him, but he didn't care…He didn't…He didn't simply use him for that. And he needed to see him, watch him, and make sure no one hurt him after a nightmare like this…

But he was the one who hurt him in his nightmare… He would never… His eyes widened thinking back to about a few hours ago; he had slapped L across the face… He had hurt his angel, just because… He was angry. He glanced back down to L who was asleep sitting in his usual odd position, his thumb to his bottom lip, head bowed so he could barely see the others sleeping face.

Would he ever be able to see this face again, would L go back to how he was weeks ago, constantly avoiding him and just being annoying, having no attraction to him what's so ever? Did he even have an attraction towards him…?

It angered him, how he couldn't read L, he didn't know if L actually loved him, he never seriously told him he loved him unless he had said it first. Was it because he was lying? What if it was just to see if he was Kira…Just another one of his tests?

Did it really matter to him? If they never had sex, if L never seriously told him he loved him, all he wanted, was to have L close. He wanted to be able to hold him… He knew L had been alone for most of his life; he never had loving parents other then Watari who was like a father figure. He never even had a friend…Was he acting so distant because… He never had someone enter that bubble of his. He never let anyone close, all he thought others thought of him as was just the L behind the screen…Even then; he didn't know anyone from the investigation team. It was always just him and Watari…

He gently wrapped his arms around L and brought him close… Knowing that the other would probably wake up and start beating and screaming at him, but he wanted L to know, he was there now, and he was sorry for not understanding…And being such a horrible lover.

He gently brought his fingers to run through L's hair, although that awoke the sleeping one…Raito almost sure he would be hearing screaming any second now…But what happened was completely unexpected.

L just simply looked up at him, sleep still in the others eyes obviously, and he was confused on his very own location. Although when he realized Raito's presence, he simply pulled back and stood up: "I'm hungry."

He turned and made his way towards the kitchen, his hands in his pockets…For some reason; Raito would have preferred that he yelled at him over this… He wasn't getting a second chance, L didn't care about him, didn't even try and work things out, he just completely ignored the situation and seemed fine about it.

L didn't care, but he also knew L had a hard time voicing out his emotions. He had learned all his life to just keep his emotions hidden; it was the best way to make a number one investigator. So when moments like the confinement arrived L wouldn't feel pity for the prisoner and risk letting the criminal out because of acting.

So how could he read him? He couldn't… He just watched L as he moved over to the kitchen to get his cake. Raito just giving a slight sigh and flopped over to the side, staring blankly at L's laptop monitor which was turned off at the time. L must have turned it off so that he couldn't see what he was looking up…Clever. Was all he thought before closing his eyes and letting himself doze off to sleep on the couch…At least at peace now that he knew L was ok.

In the kitchen, L had a slice of cake before him, his thumb at his lips as he studied the piece of cake, or so seemed like it. Really he was thinking over the whole situation… Having to resist Raito now would be hard, very hard. He closed his eyes and picked at the piece of cake, bringing the strawberry at the top to his lips.

Could he really live without Raito now? Without his warm embrace, without the soft words he would whisper into his ear at night, without the 'I love you' or 'I'll always be there for you' before he would drift off into another world.

The stinging came once more as tears began to stream down his face…He was back to being lonely…But he didn't want to be hurt again…Why did Raito have to give him such dreams, had to make him know what it was like to have someone so close…But he couldn't be weak, he couldn't let Raito enroll him into the lies once more. He was just a toy for Raito's pleasure, since he seemed easy to manipulate like a dog would roll over for treats when he wanted them.

He didn't need someone else; he was perfectly fine on his own. Yet why was he crying? Why did he want to return to the living room and just curl up into Raito's arms? He took another bite of his cake and glanced over his shoulder, hearing snoring coming from the living room…Not like he could do much now, the low blood pressure king had fallen asleep.

He finished off his cake then and fixed up a tray to bring into the living room. Glancing down at the sleeping Raito, he frowned and set the tray down on the coffee table, he giving a little shiver, it seemed that they had given up on fixing the heater and just turned it off, meaning it was now freezing in the hotel room.

And Raito was just in boxers.

He nibbled at his finger a little, turning around and moving to the bed room, he grabbed two blankets and placed one gently upon Raito, sitting down at Raito's feet, he brought his knee's to his chest before slipping a blanket around his own shoulders, tugging his laptop over in front of him, he went back to researching while sipping his overly sugared tea and nibbling at the random sweets he brought along.

Soon enough it was morning again, Raito woke up at his usual 8'o clock time, while L seemed to have spent the whole night up ever since he woke him up, again. Raito slowly sat up and glanced at L who was typing away on his lap top, no conversation sparking between them until L broke the silence.

"Good morning Yagami-kun." Raito sighed and frowned: "You still hate me?" L paused and glanced over to Raito, popping another chocolate into his mouth before he looked back to his lap top screen: "I never mentioned I hated you, just now have an indifference towards you."

Raito's heart skipped, this was just what he feared: Hate would have meant he still cared and just had a major disagreement and wanted Raito to change. While Indifference meant he simply didn't care and there was no way back around to making L love him…Because there was no more attraction or connection what's so ever.

Or L could be playing dirty and he knew this was exactly what Raito didn't want to hear, while really, he hated him. L noticed the silence and picked up his cup of tea, saying before taking a sip: "You did slap me Yagami-kun, and I'm not interested in an abusive relationship."

Bingo, he was playing dirty. Raito glanced over to L and sighed: "Please give me a second chance." L set his cup down, correcting Raito: "third."

Raito remembered that time with the Misa incident, and he frowned: "Very well, third, I promise it won't happen again, I'll prove to you sex isn't the only reason why I love you." L was simply listening, nibbling at his gummies now.

Raito sighed, although he knew L enough to know the other was still paying attention to him: "Sure, I loved it, the intimacy between us, but you never told me you hated it, hell you're so hard to read I don't even know what you like, if you would have said something seriously, I would have stopped."

"I refuse…" Raito's eyes widened at L's cruel words, L stood and narrowed his eyes down to Raito: "Words from Yagami-kun don't mean anything to me anymore." He began to make his way towards the bed room: "The probabilities of Yagami-kun being a liar exceeds the 100 mark. Please shower, we must get to the investigation room before 10Am."

Raito didn't even want to go, he felt his stomach turn over and felt as if he was going to be sick…Was there absolutely no way back? He just glared though and sighed: "Very well." He headed towards the bathroom and closed the door behind himself.

Meanwhile L simply found the shackles they had been wearing. He moving over to the living room once more afterwards, he closed his laptop and just simply sat there pondering over his own words. Did he really mean it? Of course he did! He shook his head and simply waited for Raito to finish in the shower.

(Out of the room now.)

Raito mumbled to himself: "showering was even horrible." L who was walking beside him only narrowed his eyes towards Raito: "Maybe you should have taken a cold one, Yagami-kun." Raito snapped: "It wasn't because of that!!!!" a blush having formed on his face.

They stepped into the investigation room where they went along their work as usual. Even if the investigation team had obviously noticed the sour mood between the two, neither of them looked at each other or even bothered to say anything to one another. They just went along their work, trying to work out a plan to capture Higuchi and have him arrested.

All figured it would be best to just keep track of Higuchi and have him captured when he would be on the run. Raito was bored out of his mind; he glancing to his watch seeing he had went the entire morning without food. He glanced over to L who had his usual major serving of cakes and other treats; he couldn't ask him for some, he would obviously get a no after the fight they were in.

So he decided to get up, not caring that L was attached to him, the other would have to get up too: "I'm grabbing myself something to eat, I didn't have breakfast yet or ate much yesterday." L simply gave a confused look before standing up: "Very well, I've been craving something anyways."

Raito only sent a glare which was easily returned both stepping into the kitchen, Raito going automatically to the fridge, while L went to fiddling around the kitchen for what ever he was looking for. Although L frowned when their chain ran out of space length, he turned to Raito: "Yagami-kun, come this way."

Raito on the other hand was muttering about there only being sweets in the fridge, he narrowed his eyes over to L at the request: "Not until I find something to eat." L seemed to give a disappointed face before he sighed and turned towards the counters once more, noticing his chocolate and strawberries on the counter, he frowned once more and just placed his finger to his bottom lip…This was torture.

Raito glanced over his shoulder, noticing his chance at getting L to give him a second chance; he turned and headed quickly towards the counter, grabbing the container of strawberries: "Want them?" L glared at this: "Yagami-kun, what are you doing?"

Raito smirked: "You want the strawberries? You said you were craving them, well come and get them, or I could simply give them to you if you give me another chance." L glared, reaching up as Raito moved onto the tip of his toes: "It seems you forgot that I'm your height Yagami-kun."

Raito smirked: "That's right, but you also have back problems and you're not wearing shoes." L glared more and reached up higher, his face now inches from Raito's.

Raito didn't let the chance of kissing L slip either; he leaned his face forward and kissed L deeply. L stiffening and squirming away from him at first, until his knees gave in and he weakly began to push Raito away…How could he stay mad at him? Raito was such a wonderful kisser, and for some reason when he did, he didn't even care if he was simply using him, the warmth that washed over him…He couldn't let the sensation go.

Raito felt L give in and smiled, placing the strawberry container back onto the counter; he wrapped his arms around L and leaned back, bringing L up close against him. He didn't have any dirty intentions in mind, he just wanted to kiss, but even that seemed to be too much while in the investigation room.

Matsuda wandered in with the simple intentions of getting himself something to eat: "Hey, I was hungry and thought I might joi----OH MY GOD!!!!" Both L and Raito almost jumped out of their skin, both giving Matsuda a 'deer in headlight' look as Matsuda ran out of the kitchen.

And it wasn't long until the whole investigation team knew about the moment in the kitchen either. And both L and Raito were under the interrogation spotlight.

"I told you, I was simply leaning over Yagami-kun and happened to trip, and we ended up in that rather awkward position, Matsuda-san is exaggerating the situation by 60" Matsuda shook his head: "But you were both…" Raito glared: "He's exaggerating!"

Matsuda stepped back with a frown on his face, L sunk low into his seat while nibbling at strawberries while Raito couldn't help but study him…Did this mean he was getting a second chance? Obviously, L had been butter in his arms moments ago.

All glanced from Matsuda to Raito and L, Aizawa sighing: "Well I did notice something awkward was going on between Ryuuzaki and L these past months, they seem awfully close." Raito's eyes widened: "Not like we have a choice, we're shackled together!" L nodded in agreement and both began whispering to one another…What an awkward situation.

Soichiro jumped in: "My son isn't that way! I'm positive of it." Matsuda only placed a hand on Soichiro's shoulder: "Chief, I'm sure as a father this must be hard for you, but please, do not be in denial."

Soichiro wanted to strangle Matsuda at that point and time. But Raito was getting annoyed; he simply stood up and glared at everyone, everyone in the room going silent as Raito headed over to L who gave a questioning look up at Raito: "Yagami-kun?"

Raito leaned over and placed a kiss to L's lips once more. Everyone in the investigation team's jaw dropped at this, they staring in awe as Raito quite simply kissed L, keeping L's jaw in place with his fingers. He pulled back after sometime and turned to everyone: "Happy now? Everyone know's, now please stop questioning us and get back to work, we have a Kira to capture."

No one dared to say anything; Soichiro almost had a heart attack but didn't dare to say anything. Everyone worked silently, only going into conversation when they needed too, which was almost all the time, but no one said more then needed to be said.

The awkward air exceeded 97 strongly, L thought as he worked, but he remembered the first time he got mad at Raito, it was because of this very reason, he was sure Raito had been in denial of loving him for still pretending around Misa, but now even Misa knew, all in the investigation knew.

When everything was over, Raito had offered L to go out for a little, and the offer was accepted.

Both sat under a frozen Sakura tree, watching the sun set in the horizon, neither said anything to the other, the park was empty as well because of the temperature. L pulling his knees up to his chest on the bench, he looked over the colors reflected off the water because of the sun.

The silence was awkward until it was broken by Raito, who needed to know what the hell was going on: "L, I…" L glanced over to Raito: "I know Yagami-kun, and you're forgiven…" He sighed: "I'll give you a third chance, you proved that you weren't ashamed, and that meant a lot…too me that is."

Raito chuckled: "So almost giving my father a second heart attack was the only way to get you to forgive me?" L blinked: "I didn't know Yagami-san was so homophobic." Raito nodded and wrapped an arm around L, bringing him close: "Terribly homophobic, oh well…" Raito gently ran his finger across L's bottom lip: "He's going to have to learn to accept us."

L smiled and both leaned in close, kissing one another gently, Raito wrapping his arms around the other gently. Both remained curled into one another for sometime before L pulled back: "I hope we can come back here when the Sakura's bloom Yagami-kun."

Raito blinked: "Why couldn't we?" L frowned and whispered: "I have a feeling; I won't get to enjoy this for much longer…" Raito's eyes widened and he pulled back: "Why couldn't you? L…Talk to me…" L glanced up and smiled: "I never thought you would ever call me by my name Yagami-kun…But this is Kira we're investigating, and one false move would lead me to my death…Although…" He frowned more: "There's a 96 chance, I'm going to have to die before we can move further in the investigation."

Raito shook his head: "I'm not going to let that happen L, trust me…I love you…" L glanced up at Raito and smiled gently, whispering: "I love you too Raito and I'll trust you."

Me: It just so happened that my fan fiction wrote itself while I was asleep, oh well…It was still horrible, I'm so jumping the shark these past few days, maybe I should wait until I'm completely well before I write anything else.

L: How about you just give up?

Me: L…Don't make me post this up on youtube –holding up a video camera she set up in the bathroom while L and Raito 'took a shower'. –

L: o.o you wouldn't….

Me: Oh I would…

Raito: Let me see that?

Thanks for the 8 reviews! I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! But I need more! And Yes I would Rp with you who ever offered, and thank you all for the love.

L: Oh god don't Rp with her!

Raito: Save yourself!

Me: Oh you guys are over exaggerating –giving a maniac look.-

Raito: … Don't even try; I'm the king of maniac looks… And you fail at life.

Me: Or so says 4chan.

And thank you thenightwanderer I hope I get well soon too, this is horrible.
