Chapter 2 is finally done! All I can say is that insperation only hits me every once and a while and its always at 2 in the morning. Thank you so much to everyone who read chapter one and especially to those of you who are my heros and reviewed. Umm apparently I subconciously write stronger stuff than I though because in my opinion Raito's dream wasn't exactly "sex dream", but apparently it was viewed as one. That's fine with me. I just didn't think it was "steamy" (for lack of a better word) enough to be one. I have this feeling in the back of my head thats telling me Raito might just have strange dreams on nights that he eats sweets, but you didn't hear that from me...

I forgotten to do this so i should go ahead and start now-

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Death note or any of it's characters, if I did it might just be a little bit more "steamy" ;-)

Chapter 2

Raito opened his eyes to find the space next to him occupied by a messy haired detective. Raito's was surprised to find that neither of them had moved in their sleep and that L was still sleeping to begin with. Raito knew that he had to take advantage of the fact that he had received the chance to sleep in and tried to resettle himself without waking L. Unfortunately for Raito, L slowly opened his eyes and for the first time, Raito witnessed surprised look cross on the normally poker-faced detective's features.

"Good morning Raito-kun" L said in a slightly surprised tone. Raito nodded in response, unable to reply while still mere inches from L's face. An awkward silence passed between them and L was the first to move, pulling himself up then grabbing the phone. Raito watched silently as L dialed Watari's number.

"Watari. Yes, I am aware that I slept in. Raito-kun and I will be there within fifteen minutes. As for breakfast, I would like to have waffles this morning." L held the phone away from his head a little and looked at Raito, who was now sitting up on his side of the bed.

"Would you like any waffles Raito-kun?" L asked looking a bit uninterested. Raito nodded, not seeing anything too horrible with eating waffles.

"Yes, Raito-kun would like some waffles to. Thank you Watari." With that L hung up the phone and pulled Raito with him on the way to the closet. When they had gotten washed up and gotten dressed, they headed down towards the main work room.

Waffles were waiting for them on their desks. Raito's plate looked sad in comparison to the sugar addict's mountain of waffles. L had reached for the syrup immediately and completely drowned his waffles. Raito wondered if L had ever considered how dangerous his diet was. He put a small amount of syrup on his own pancakes and began to eat slowly.

L finished his waffles in record time and for once seemed to be content with how much he had eaten. Raito finished his own breakfast not too long after and couldn't help but think about what he had deemed as the "Donut Incident." Raito's cheeks flared a slight pink, catching L's attention.

"Raito-kun, for someone who takes so much pride in their appearance, you sure are a messy eater." L commented, staring at the small amount of syrup on the teen's upper lip. Raito's face went bright red and he cringed, expecting a repeat of the "Donut Incident". He was surprised when he was handed a napkin by a quietly chuckling detective. Raito wiped the syrup off his face, scowling into the napkin. It occurred to him that his face was red and that somewhere in the back of his mind he felt a small bit disappointed with receiving a napkin.

"What's wrong Raito-kun?" L asked. "Would you have preferred that it if I had cleaned your face myself?" L questioned in an innocent voice. Raito scowled even more, angered that L had read the very small part of his mind that he was trying to keep silent. L continued to watch Raito with the smallest 

ghost of a smirk on his face. Raito had no response. He was confused. He wanted to dump a bucket of cold water on his head to try to straighten out his thoughts.

Through all of his confusion, Raito knew one thing for sure: he was pissed off. He didn't like being made fun off and teased by L, and the fact that his emotions were confusing him only pissed him off further. He glared at L and received a blank stare back. He gritted his teeth together, he wasn't someone that usually acted out on his anger, but he was livid.

In one quick motion, Raito skimmed his finger across some syrup that had been left on his plate, and smeared it across L's face. L was stunned. He hadn't expected Raito to respond to his teasing in such a childish way. L frowned and reached for his own napkin and was surprised when a red faced Raito leaned forward and licked the syrup off of the tip of his nose. Both of their faces were bright red now. L silently grabbed his napkin and cleaned the rest of the syrup off of his face.

"Is that how you take your revenge, Raito-kun?" The detective asked in a hoarse voice. Raito nodded, unable to fully look L in the eyes. "Maybe I should tease you more often…" L whispered mainly to himself, unaware that the now wide-eyed Raito had heard him.

Work dragged on slowly and silently, neither of the geniuses felt like talking much, which in turn thickened the atmosphere. For once Matsuda picked up on the fact that it was not a day to babble like he usually did. Everyone worked without interruption, finding nothing to help the case as usual.

Raito had accomplished even less than usual. His mind was mixed up and he wasn't quite sure of what to think anymore. He had acted without thinking, which was something he almost never did. At first he had only planned to smear the syrup on L's face, his original plans had not called for him to lick the syrup off of the detectives face. He didn't know what had gotten into him and he was confused about L's comment that he had whispered to himself. The team had left an hour before L finally decided to speak, scaring Raito, who almost jumped out of his chair.

"Raito-kun, I think It would do us both some good if we took a coffee break." Raito nodded and they both stood from their chairs and headed for the break room. Raito watched as the chain connecting their wrists swung between them as they walked. He hated the sound that the chain made as it clinked together; flinching internally every time it did so.

They entered the break room silently and L went straight to the coffee machine, Raito stood not far away, staring up at the ceiling in mock interest. L watched Raito out of the corner of his eye and worked on his split-second plan to tease the teen. He had unscrewed the container that held the sugar and dabbed a little onto his bottom lip. With a small mischievous glint in his eyes L turned to face Raito.

"Raito-kun… I seemed to have spilt sugar on my lips," L began in an overly innocent tone. Raito looked at him and his face immediately became red. His eyes were as wide as plates as he stared at L's bottom lip. Raito held his breath in subconsciously as he took a small step towards L. Taking a step forward he questioned the detective's sanity. Another step and he questioned his own state of mind.



He regained his train of thought a second before losing himself and he stopped dead in his tracks. He released the breath he had been holding in and looked into L's eyes.

"Ryuuzaki…?" Raito asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Yes Raito-kun?" L replied, his voice quiet as well.

"STOP TEASING ME!" Raito yelled while stepping away from L and slamming his fist on the counter. Raito turned his back on L as he began to sulk. L knew the signs, Raito was planning to sulk and ignore him all night, maybe even longer. He had miscalculated the results of his teasing and now he would have to pay for it by being handcuffed to a sulking teenager.

Sorry for that, but I felt that in my other story I rushed their relationship and I want it to develope a bit more first before anything really happens.

Thanks again for reading! I'll try to be faster on the update next time. It's never too late to be my hero by reviewing!
