Death Note:
Redemption
By NinjaKittyx3
::::
After the events of the other day, Raito and L had troubled getting their heads around things. Did that really happen? Did they really have a make-out session on the floor in Misa's room? No way. Never would Light do that in his right mind. Unless… he wasn't in his right mind at the time.
Pff. Sounded like a good excuse.
Sure, L had pissed him off to the point where they were literally hitting each other, but how did they get to the conclusion of kissing? That just wasn't right. L, too, had trouble thinking about the situation. Kissing Raito, the number one suspect in the Kira case, was not something had planned to do, ever. The thought had never crossed his mind, and now, what? Raito was the only thing he could think about?
This was ridiculous.
Inside headquarters, L, Raito, Matsuda, Aizawa and Soichiro all sat around and did their own thing. Raito was sure Matsuda was playing some sort of game with Aizawa, who was glaring at Matsuda constantly, and when he wasn't, he was glaring at everyone else for not saving him. Soichiro seemed to look stressed, probably about how Raito was still under suspicion.
The whole time, Soichiro eyed L, the chain and Raito at the same time. L was probably the one who was attracting the least attention to himself. Raito was nervously fidgeting with anything he could find, sitting as far away from L as the chain would allow, making it extremely tight.
L moved his hand and picked up his cup off strongly sugared coffee, only to have Raito move, and accidentally drop it on the floor. The cup shattered into tiny pieces, the coffee dripping from the table and onto the floor, creating a massive line where it was running on the stone floor.
Oh… chopsticks.
L glared at Raito for a moment, who was looking at the coffee, confused. No one else seemed to notice what had happened, so L made a call to Watari to help him clean it up.
Matsuda walked over to them happily. That was just what they needed right now.
"Matsuda-san!" Raito yelled, but he was too late. Matsuda slid on the spilled coffee and landed right on his behind onto the cold, stone floor.
Idiot. Utter idiot.
"Ow!" Matsuda exclaimed. He glanced beneath him and noticed the coffee, looking towards the table where it had been sitting. "Ryuzaki-san… dropped his coffee?"
No shit, Sherlock.
L ignored him, not bothering to answer the obvious question. Raito, however, was a bit more polite when it came to maintaining images. "No, Matsuda-san. It was my fault."
Matsuda nodded and stood up, rubbing his behind and making a face.
That was going to hurt in the morning for sure.
Soichiro had come over to them and, being careful of the spilled liquid, made sure Matsuda was alright, before suggesting to L that it was time they went home for the night, thinking of Aizawa's family and Matsuda's injury.
That would sure be embarrassing going to the doctors.
L agreed, saying goodbye swiftly, then turning back to his laptop, glancing at the table and silently mourning his coffee cup.
"Raito," Soichiro addressed his son with a small smile. Raito stood up and acknowledged him, making sure he didn't pull L off of his chair and onto the floor like said coffee cup. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, Tou-san." Raito smiled sadly. "Say hi to Mother and Sayu for me."
"I will." Soichiro glared at L, who seemed oblivious, for keeping Raito away from his family. "Goodnight, son." He began walking away.
Raito gave a small, sad wave as his father departed. He shouted after him; "Oh! And tell Sayu I'll help her with her homework if she emails me!"
"Will do!" Soichiro said over is shoulder and left the room, the automatic doors closing loudly behind him. For a moment, Raito felt uncomfortable.
Being alone with L in a room was the last thing he wanted right now.
But, it soon went away as Watari entered the room with two cloths. He handed one to Raito and one to L, eyeing them accusingly.
Sorry, old man. Coffee spilled.
"I apologise, Watari." L said, facing Raito.
Oh yeah… that was my fault.
"I'm sorry too." Raito apologised, looking at Watari. "It was really my fault anyway."
Watari smiled at Raito. "That's quite alright, Raito-kun. Just be sure it doesn't happen again. I'm thankful we do not have carpets in here…" Watari mumbled as he walked away, back through the doors. They closed, quietly this time, behind him.
Raito got down on is knees and began soaking up the coffee. There was at least a full cup on the floor, just sitting there, having nowhere to go.
No wonder Matsuda slipped. He would have some bruise later.
L crouched onto the floor and reached underneath the table to clean where the coffee had leaked. Raito was careful not to look at him, the awkward silence was enough, and he didn't need a glaring competition in his current state. Especially with L, of all people.
Raito began picking up shards of the cup form the floor and placing them into his hand, noticing that Watari had failed to bring a bucket or something.
But, having nothing on his feet, L soon stood on one of the shards.
Ouch.
Silently, he looked down at his foot, Raito looking at it too, wide-eyed. Even though L hadn't made a sound, he knew something had happened. L changed position and looked at his foot for a moment, calculating how he was going to get the shard out, and Raito looking at him certainly did not help. Silently, he pinched the shard between his two fingers, his face scrunching up ever so slightly, and pulled.
He blinked, realising that the shard was still there, and he had an intense pain in his foot.
"Ryuzaki…" Raito said quietly, then he gasped at the blood that was beginning to pour out of his foot. "Ah. Damnit."
"The shard appears to be deep in my foot." L noted.
…
Raito said nothing, grabbing the cloth he'd used earlier. "This isn't clean but…" slowly he wiped the blood off of L's outstretched foot, frowning when more blood came. "Ryuzaki, I'm going to have to take that out of your foot or it's going to get infected." He said all of this without looking at L, just waiting for his answer and rubbing the bottom of his foot repeatedly.
L looked at Raito, and seen the worry in his eyes. "Raito-kun is probably right." L looked around, then back to Raito, demanding that he look at him. "What will you use to take it out? And I should inform Raito-kun that I am experiencing intense pain every moment he touches my foot."
Raito stopped immediately. "Ah, sorry." He smiled apologetically at L, first time looking at him, and then taking L's cloth, which wasn't covered in blood, unlike Raito's. "I'll use this. Now hold still."
L obeyed silently, holding onto a chair for support. Sitting with one foot in the air in his position was rather hard, to say the least, plus, it helps with the pain if you held on tightly to something. Raito moved slowly, holding onto the shard of glass and inspecting how deep it was, gaining a slight hiss from L. "Sorry. How did you get it this deep?"
"I do not know." L said quickly. "But, if Raito-kun could move a bit faster, I'm sure I could figure it out for him later."
"Right, right. Sorry." Raito said quickly. He gently started pulling the shard out of L's foot, wincing at the blood that seemed to pour out.
Please, G-d, tell me he isn't Anaemic.
L remained quiet, but squeezed the chair.
Of course, it was the right way to do it, slowly, but sure it shouldn't be this sore.
The shard seemed to be permanently lodged inside of his foot, and he could smell the blood already. He glanced down at Raito's hand, to see it was covered in blood.
Am I Anaemic? If that is the case, this is bad.
Of course, L knew he wasn't Anaemic, it was just a thought to keep his mind occupied, but it wasn't soon before L would begin to hiss in pain.
Actually, too soon.
L hissed loudly as Raito gave it a sharp pull. "Raito-kun, that hurts."
"I know." Raito said, not taking his eyes off of it.
"I am quite happy hopping, so, if you please…"
"Don't be an idiot." Raito said, "The worst part is next, then it is over. Just a minute."
L groaned and put his head back, before returning to his original position. He was seriously considering hopping, and it was looking quite good right now.
Raito went to pull on the shard for the last time, and moved his hand that was moving L's foot in place onto the floor next to him, while the other was ready to pull it out.
When he began pulling, L hissed loudly, making Raito wince, but he continued.
"This is the worst part; get ready."
L said nothing, but nearly squeezed his eyes shut, something that Raito did not miss.
… Cute.
…
Wait. What?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ryuzaki is not cute, Raito.
Then, why did I think that?
Oh, wait, this needs to come out.
Okay, I'll pull it on three. One, two, thr-
Raito stopped when he felt something on his hand. He glanced at it to find that it was L's own hand clutching his. He glanced up at L, startled, to find that L looked totally determined at his foot.
Damn you and your cuteness.
Raito smiled slightly and squeezed L's hand back, then pulled.
L hissed and squeezed Raito's hand as the shard came out and blood poured out. Raito tried to calm it down with the cloth. It was hard with one hand, but L made it clear that he wasn't letting go any time soon.
"Ryuzaki, you need to stand up."
Then Watari came in, looking at the boys, and then sighing. He held a bucket of water and another cloth in his hands.
"Oh dear." He said quietly. "Raito-kun, why don't you take Mr. Ryuzaki to your room and I'll clean up the rest?"
"Okay. Thanks, Watari."
"Yes, yes." Watari busied himself with the cloths and water. Raito helped L to his feet and put his arm around his shoulder.
"Raito-kun, I am not suffering from a war injury, it is merely a cut." L complained when they left the room and got into the elevator. Raito pushed the button and it started moving.
"Merely a cut, eh?" Raito looked at him, "Then, you can let you of my hand."
L glanced down and saw that their hands were still tangled together.
G-d damnit.
"Oh, Raito-kun should have pointed out earlier."
Raito made a noise and let L stand on his own, but instead he leaned against the elevator wall. Raito breathed in.
Okay. Let's do this.
"I apologise for my behaviour." L began, "I assure you that my cut was not that so-"
Raito suddenly pecked him, leaving L staring wide-eyed at him. "What was that…"
Raito0 turned and looked at him.
Just looked.
L looked back for a few seconds, before leaning in for another kiss. It was longer this time, but was interrupted by the ding of the elevator. Raito helped L out and into their bedroom. Raito kissed him when he shut the door, before pulling away.
"What's happening to me?" Raito whispered, more to himself, leaning his forehead on L's.
"I do not know, Raito-kun." L replied quietly, pecking him again. "But I assure you, that you are not alone."
Raito smiled. "That's a plus." He whispered before leaning in for another kiss.
L kissed him back gently, but pulled away again. "You are a suspect in the Kira case, I cannot have sexual relations with you, or any suspect for that matter."
Raito smiled slightly. "And suspects –who are innocent, I should point out- should not be with their investigators."
L smiled slightly back, they completely understood each other. "Then why…" L began quietly, advancing towards Raito, "do I want to do this?"
He kissed Raito, roughly.
Oh, heaven.
Raito blinked, and then closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around L, L's hands tangled in his hair. Raito smiled when L invaded his mouth.
Did this guy always taste like cake? Honestly.
It was like sticking his whole face into a bowl of strawberry icing. Only, L didn't smell like strawberry icing, L smelled more like… well, just amazing, in general, and not like sweets. Which was surprising, but not unpleasant. On any level.
Slowly, L pushed Raito against the door they had just came in, being careful not to stand fully onto his foot when walking, so he kind of hopped over. Anyway, Raito didn't complain, he only moaned slightly as L pushed him against the door. For someone who hadn't had any romantic experiences or practise before, L sure seemed to know what he was doing. Raito tilted his head for better access but then the boys broke apart for air.
"Is this going to be a problem with Amane Misa?" L asked quietly, breathing hard.
Raito thought about it. "No. Not at all."
"Raito-kun… you must remain with Amane, she is, whether you like it or not, the main suspect, besides yourself."
Raito sighed and walked over towards the bed they had to share, momentarily forgetting about the chain that attached him to L until said panda-man suddenly appeared behind him. "Honestly Ryuzaki… what evidence do you have that we are Kira?"
L was silent for a moment. "My own feelings, and the fact that killings stopped when you were in confinement."
"… Very well." Raito sighed, lying down on the bed, L climbing beside him, taking out his laptop.
Just before Raito closed his eyes he said; "I'll continue my serious relationship with her." He smirked and fell asleep.
L glanced at his sleeping form. "Baka."
Chibi Raito: What?
Me: Don't start that again.
Chibi Misa: L is a cry baby.
Chibi L: Come again?
Misa: Cry baby.
Me: Stop that.
Chibi Raito: You're being immature, Misa.
Chibi Misa: Oh, it talks.
Chibi Raito: Ouch.
Chibi L: Aren't you meant to always be nice to your boyfriend?
Me: She just witnessed you and her boyfriend smooching this chapter and last. Give her a break.
