..:I do not own Death Note or any of the characters!:..

Misa gasped at the sudden reaction and L kept a straight face, both of them staring at Light. He slowly pulled away, a light blush filled his face and he kept his eyes closed. He didn't dare to open them but he gathered the courage and slowly opened his eyes, staring into the face of... L. He felt the blood drain from his face and his eyes were filled with horror. He let go of L and stared at him with a sickly look. "R-Ryuu...zaki..." Light said with a gagging tone.

"I... I... I'm s-sorry." His hands were violently shaking and he fully sat back in his chair, biting his lip hard. "Misa is not happy! Light loves Ryuuzaki!? No! Light is supposed to love Misamisa! This is not right!" L stared at Light, a light blush spread across his face including a small smile. He bit his thumbnail and had the same usual blank stare back on his face.

"Yagami-kun." He said and Light flinched, "It's fine." Light looked up at him. L raised an eyebrow and put a hand on his shoulder. He swallowed hard, unsure what he was thinking. "R-R-Ryuuzaki..." He stuttered, staring at him. Misa took L's arm off of Light and said, "Misa doesn't want to see boy love!" Light blushed a deeper red and held his arm, looking down at the floor. L was starting to get a little uncomfortable and rubbed his leg, staring at the wall.

Hours passed and Misa kept going on and on about Light kissing L. Finally, Light had it and walked out of the cafe, not caring where he was going. Ryuuzaki glanced at Misa, then got up and followed Light. "Don't follow me." Light said, a blush still on his face. "But I want to stay with you." "I know your gonna do something horrible to me. I just know it." "No. I won't, I promise." L said innocently. Light looked back at him and sighed. "Fine."

They both walked back to the tall, familiar building and walked inside the air conditioned room. L sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to him. Light nervously sat down and stared at L, who was looking at him. He turned and faced Light. "Yag-" "I can't take it! Please just throw me in jail or leave me stranded in a desert! Kill me!" Light yelled, holding out his arms, waiting for the handcuffs.

L placed his hand on Lights arms and pushed them down, sitting closer to him. "Yagami-kun, I'm not going to hurt you." "But I kissed you! That's probably the worst possible thing I could do to you!" "No, it's not." "Now you sound as if you liked it." Light said. L didn't reply.

He had a light pink blush on his face and he stared at the floor. "You... didn't like it did you?" He still gave no reply. "Ryuuzaki!" No answer. "No, no! Damn it! What's my father going to think about this when he finds out!? He'll probably skin me alive and he'll really call me a girl! His stupid gay ass so-" L stuffed a cookie in his mouth to prevent him from talking. Light made a face and crossed one arm over his chest, taking the cookie out of his mouth with the other hand and eating it.

"If Soichiro doesn't approve of it, he'll just have to deal with it his whole life." L said. Light stared at him with an awkward look in his eyes. "W-what do you mean? Your not my... b... boyfriend." "Well, then can I be?" "...Your kidding right? Right? The greatest detective on earth wants a low life student to be his boyfriend? That's hilarious!" "Yagami-kun. Your not a low life, your everything I want you to be." L crawled closer to Light and he moved back, falling off the couch.

"Ow..." He said, rubbing his head. L pushed him up against the wall and held Light's arms behind his back. "Ryuuzaki!" He yelled, trying to escape. Failure. "Are you scared, Yagami-kun?" L asked. "Uh... I just don't know what to do." "Just kiss back." "Wha-" Light was cut off with L's lips crashing into his. His eyes snapped closed and he tried to pull away, but L was too strong over him and he was forced to kiss back.

Light couldn't breathe minutes after and he pulled his head back, gasping for air. L kissed down his neck and traced his collar bone, making him blush a light red. He found a sweet spot and sucked there, holding down Light by his shoulder. "N-no." He moaned, turning his neck to the side. L traced back up and found Lights lips again, kissing harder this time. Light broke free of L's grip and put his arms around L's neck, entwining his fingers in his hair.

L broke the kiss and panted lightly, staring at Light. He had a deep red blush on his face and hugged L tightly with a small smile on his face. "Light." He whispered. "Yeah, Ryuuzaki." "I like you, a lot." "Don't you think I probably figured that out already." "I'm just letting you know." L said, a bit of happiness in his voice. "I... I don't know what I'm gonna say to my father." "We'll think of something." L backed away from Light, but he hung to L's neck tightly.

He smiled and sat on the couch, bringing Light next to him.

"What do you wanna do?" Light mumbled, hugging L tighter.

"We could probably think of something."

"Mmm... I have nothing in mind."

"Maybe we can do something online. We have enough computers."

"That would be fun."

"Okay then." L replied, getting up. Light followed him through a series of doors and made it into the computer room. It was also known as the game room. At the far end of the room, there were two dark figures physically fighting over something. Another dark figure leaned back against a wall and played Kirby on his Nintendo DS. "Give it back, it's mine!" "No! You have to stop doing that then!" "But I like my chocolate!" Mello yelled. Near glared at him. They were fighting over a bottle of chocolate syrup.

"Boys, what is it?" L asked, walking down the stairs. "Big brother! Mello covered the bathtub in chocolate syrup again and shoved my dice down the drain!" Near said with tears in his eyes. L looked over at Mello, who flinched and dropped the syrup bottle. "Mello..." He said. Mello walked over to L and sniffled. L grabbed his arms and held them behind his back. "Quick, Nate! Take all his chocolate away!" "Nooo!!" Mello screeched, fighting with L.

"Okay, okay. I wouldn't do that unless you also stuffed domino's down the drain." Mellos eyes widened and he whistled. "Nate, go find the chocolate." "Roger!" Near replied. Mello started crying and sat on the floor, wiping the tears away. Matt looked over at him and then looked up at Light. He paused the game and said, "Hey, Yagami." Light waved to him and grinned. Matt had a liking to Light.

Near walked back with all the chocolate he could find and L stuffed it all in a closet, locking the door. "Light!" Near yelled, running over to him. Light caught him in his arms and hung him upside down. "Hey there little one." He said. Near giggled and put his hands down to the floor, landing safely on his feet. He loved Light. Near was 8, Mello was 10, and Matt was 14.

Near tugged on Lights arm and said, "Come with me! Look what I made!" Light followed him into another room and turned on the light. "Whoa." Light replied. "Is it good?" "Good? It's great! How did you get that many dice?" "Internet." Near replied. "L's credit card?" "Yup." "Your a sneaky one." Light said. They were staring at a whole town built with only dice. "Why do you look different in the picture on your drivers license?" Near asked. Light looked down at him and saw he had his wallet.

"Hey!" He said with a laugh, "Because I was younger when I had that picture taken." He took his wallet back and looked in it. He held out a hand. Near looked up at him with innocent eyes, Light didn't believe it. Near sighed and gave him twenty bucks. He still had his hand out. Near pouted and gave back more bills. He still had his hand out. Near groaned and gave back 300 dollars. Light smiled and said, "Sly little one, but far too careless."

"I'm not careless. I'm cute with a side order of crazy." Near grumbled. Light laughed and picked him up, carrying him back to the game room. He put Near down and he clung to Lights leg, showing him a quarter. "Your not getting this back." He said with a pout.

Mello snuck into Nears room and took one of his stuffed animals, walking out of the room. "What did you get..." Near yelled. Mello started to run away and Near unhooked from Lights leg, running after him. "Children..." L said, watching them play. Light nodded and smiled. "Give me Mr. Phillip!" Near yelled and Mello laughed. There was suddenly a loud thump and a cry. "I didn't do it! Near tripped and fell!" Mello yelled.

Light got up and walked over to Near, helping him up. "You okay?" He asked. Near sobbed and showed him his bloody and scratched up arm. Light helped him into the bathroom and washed his arm, putting a band-aid over it. Near clung to Light and he carried him back to his seat next to L. "Nate, you're a big boy now." L said, "Big boys don't cry. You should just say, 'What the hell you stupid floor!? I shouldn't have trusted you' and walk away as if nothing happened." Near giggled and looked at L.

"Yeah." Light replied, "You shouldn't cry, you're mature enough to know that now. I know you're still little, but crying over getting a little cut isn't going to kill you." Near looked up at Light and said, "Your just like a mommy." Light looked down at him. "A mommy?" "Yeah. You do everything for us just like a mommy and L is a daddy because he's lazy and stays up all night." Light laughed and L thought for a moment. "I'm not that lazy." He said.

"You lounge around and eat sweets all day. How isn't that lazy?" "Touche brother." L said with an amused tone in his voice. Matt gave a chuckle and looked over at them, putting down his DS. "Light is also helpful, unlike someone who says 'Hmm... I'm busy trying to decide whether to eat the left side of the cake first or the right side'. He can also cook better than L." Matt added, ignoring the look L gave him.

"Well, L is a computer genius!" Mello said, "And he's greatest detective in the universe!" "That's exactly why he's the dad." Matt said, crossing his arms. Mello and Matt glowered at each other and everyone could feel the electricity between them. "Alright enough." L said, tapping their shoulders. Their eyes parted and they sighed. L's phone rang and he looked at the caller ID: Chief Yagami. He flipped the phone open. "Hello?" He said. "Yes, he's here with me. Would you like to talk to him?- Yes." L handed the phone to Light and he said, "Hello?- Yeah I'm fine.- Just playing with the little one's right now.- Okay, okay I will. Bye." He handed the phone back to L and he put it in his pocket.

"Um... Is anyone else cold in here?" Matt said, shivering. "It's 76 degrees in here and your wearing a jacket. How are you cold?" L said. "Oh, okay. Must be my imagination." Matt said, rubbing his hands together. Light looked down at him and studied his face. "You don't look that good. Do you feel alright?" "I'm kinda tired. Maybe from playing games all day." "No, you don't look well. Maybe you should sleep." "Nah, I'll be alright. It- It's just my imagination." Matt said.

He kept refusing to be sick and Light just grew more worried. "Matt, please go to sleep. For me?" Light said, at the edge of panicking. Matt shook his head and rested it on the desk, his eyes half closed. Light walked over to him and felt his head. Fever. He picked Matt up and carried him to his room. "Put me down..." He mumbled. He laid him down on his bed and tucked him in. "Night." Light said, closing the door.

"Is he okay?" L asked. "He has a fever. Think he either may have the flu or the stomach virus." Light replied. "Hope he's alright." "Yeah, he'll be fine." L gave Light a light peck on the lips and said, "The kids were right, you really are a mom." Lights face turned a thousand shades of red and he smiled. "I'm just doing what I can." He said.

Near ran over to Light and asked, "Is Matt okay, mommy?" "M-Mommy?" Light replied. "What? No, I-I said Light. Is Matt okay?" "Yeah, he'll be fine in a few days." He said, picking Near up. He looked at L and he gave a shrug, sitting down in a computer chair.

Mello looked at Light. "Why did Near call you mommy?" "It was an accident!" Near replied, "It slipped out!" "It's alright." Light said, ruffling his hair. "Misa is not happy!" Misa yelled running down the stairs. She panted lightly and ran over to Light. "Soichiro is traumatized from Light-kun kissing Ryuuzaki!" "You told him!?" Light screeched. "Yes! No one is happy! You're supposed to be my boyfriend, not Ryuuzaki's!" "You kissed L?" Near asked.

Light was staring at Misa with a horrified look, his whole body trembling. "M-Misa. Why would you tell him..." He said shakily, "I-I'm gonna die! He's probably gonna lock me up in jail and never show my face to the public again!" He stumbled backward and fell to the floor. He sat up slowly and looked at Near. "Sorry, I forgot I was holding you..." Near nodded and tugged on Light's hair. "Yagami-kun, you don't look well." L said. "Yes... I feel very faint but I feel I have to tear Misa to shreds!

"I swear when I have the strength to stand up, I will strangle you!" Light yelled, holding Near tightly. "Y-Your crushing me!" Near gasped. He let go of him and held one arm tightly, trying to control himself. His phone rang and he jumped back, looking down at his pocket. He slowly took the phone out of his pocket and looked at the caller ID: Dad.

He swallowed hard and flipped the phone open. "...Hello?"
