Death Note:
Redemption
By NinjaKittyx3
::::
From the moment he woke up, Raito knew it was going to be a bad day. Even if it was Sayu's birthday.
Waking up, he'd managed to trip over L, who was still wrapped around him, fall out of bed, noticing the chain clinking, then having L fall on top of him.
Oh, but that wasn't all.
Once they had regained their composure's, Raito banged his leg on the side of the bed, ungratefully receiving a killer pain and massive bruise for the rest of the day. L had gotten him ice out of nowhere and, happily, kissed the leg better, making Raito blush.
Getting dressed was a completely different story.
Never before had Raito been so self-conscious of himself stripping in front of the detective. Was that because they were… kinda going out?
Or was it because the bruise, which was taking over his right shin, was ruining his perfectly sculpted body?
It was possibly both, but, none the less, Raito got ready in front of L without a fuss.
This time.
Next time was most likely going to be another matter, but that could wait. He had to concentrate on the day ahead of him.
This was Sayu's special day, not his, so there would be no complaining.
"Raito-kun, are you nearly ready?" L asked, looking up from the floor at Raito, who was brushing his teeth. "We are going to have to make breakfast soon if we plan on getting some work done."
Raito took the toothbrush out of his mouth to speak. "I know; I'll only be a minute." The toothpaste slurred his words, but L understood well enough and went back to nibbling on his thumb on the floor. Raito spat and rinsed his mouth. "Why are you on the floor, anyway? You're going to catch a cold."
"I find that standing too long hurts your legs." L replied simply, standing up next to Raito and looking at him as he fixed his hair. "Though it's nice to know that Raito-kun cares enough to think about my well-being. It may well decrease his percentage of being Kira."
Raito ruffled his fringe until it sat properly, carefully thinking out his answer to that. "Not Kira." He muttered below his breath, then added; "Of course I care." He turned to L, placing a hand on his cheek and kissed him gently, then pulled away to find L smiling slightly.
"Very well." L said. "Is Raito-kun ready now?"
"Yeah." Raito turned around and strode out of the bathroom, followed by L, who then took the lead towards the hall. "What's for breakfast?"
"The same as every morning." L replied, entering the elevator and pressing the button, watching the doors close.
"Cake and un-sugared coffee for Raito-kun."
Raito sighed.
Not everyone likes to put sugar in to everything.
"I wonder when your teeth are going to fall out…"
L gave Raito a sad look as the doors opened and he walked out. "My teeth are perfectly fine, thank you."
Raito guessed the detective had about two years until his teeth fell out, but wisely kept his mouth shut, following L to the kitchen.
L went to the refrigerator automatically and fished out the last slice of cake he had (which was from Matsuda and Mogi's baking yesterday).
Raito poured himself a coffee and they both sat down, facing each other. L was grimacing at Raito, who looked back at him.
"What?" Raito asked, sipping his coffee.
"Raito-kun…" L said slowly, licking his fork, but not taking his eyes off of Light. "Why do you drink that… thing?"
Raito glanced at his coffee cup, then back to L. "Thing? It's coffee, and it wakes me up."
"But, Raito-kun…" L tried again, poking his cake. "I can smell it from here, and it is not sweetened. Sugar helps you stay awake."
"Maybe I don't like it sweetened." Raito suggested.
L simply pushed the sugar holder across the table to Light in response.
Raito looked down at it.
"Then, Raito-kun must be a bitter person."
Sighing, Raito sat down his cup and offered for L to do it, who nodded happily, spooning about fifteen into his cup. Raito picked it back up and sniffed it, grimacing himself.
"Ryuzaki…" He started, swirling the 'coffee'. "That was nice of you and all…"
"But?" L asked, his voice muffled by cake.
"But, I'd like some coffee with my sugar."
"Hmm…" L said thoughtfully, taking his cup and sipping it. "I find it quite pleasant." L put it back down and forked a bit of his cake.
"Of course you do." Raito laughed. L smiled back, popping cake into his mouth. "Now hurry up, weren't you the one stressing that we'd be late in the first place?" Raito looked at his watch.
L was silent, which was unusual, for him, but Raito decided just to leave it and fiddle with his watch, glaring at how the bottom of it seemed loose.
Was it always like that?
He made a move to open the bottom of it for inspection, but a small, strangled noise from L made him snap his head up, all thoughts about the watch forgotten, for now.
L sat there expressionless and dropped his fork, grimacing slightly.
A few noises from his throat indicated that he was refraining from speaking.
"Ryuzaki?" Raito asked quickly, getting ready to stand up. "Are you alright?"
The next noise that L made confirmed Raito's worry.
L was choking.
Oh.
Shit.
"Ryuzaki!" Raito jumped up from his seat and pulled L up from his.
L was clinging to Raito's shirt, looking at his eyes, begging him for help, Kira or no Kira.
Raito felt L's throat, and found a massive lump in it.
Slowly, he pried L from his shirt, turned him around and performed the hymnic manoeuvre.
L hiccupped, and choked.
Raito got more worried than before.
Suddenly, a shiny object flew from L's mouth, hit the far wall of the kitchen and L went limp in Raito's hold.
"Ryuzaki, are you alright?" Raito asked slowly, turning L around to look at him.
The man look tired.
"Yes, I am fine." L said roughly, then coughed a couple of times. "The likelihood of you being Kira has just went down."
"Gee, thanks." Raito mumbled.
Before Raito could say any more, L sealed his mouth with a kiss.
It started off as a thank you kiss, yes; it started off as a thank you kiss. Well, it certainly didn't stay as that.
Oh no.
Raito carefully wrapped his arms around L, asking for entrance, which was granted eagerly. L was clinging to Raito's shirt again, but for a completely different reason this time. Their tongues battled for dominance until Raito gave in and let L dominate the kiss.
This time.
Next time it'd be his victory, and he'd make sure of it.
L moaned as Raito's hand ran down his torso and stopped at his hips, holding him in place. The kiss got rougher, faster than last time, but still pretty good. L craned his neck, up from his usual stance, to get a better angle, causing Raito to groan and press against L, who groaned in return.
Raito trailed kisses down L's neck and when he reached the bottom, he moved L's shirt to gain access to his delicious shoulder and along his collarbone.
L gasped as Raito bit down gently, then he licked the spot in an almost apologetic manner.
Wait.
Weren't there cameras in here?
L thought this over, but found it hard to concentrate due to the enjoyment Light was providing him with.
Did he really care anyway?
He highly doubted Watari would be watching them; he wasn't like that.
But… still.
L pulled away a little. "Raito-kun…"
"Mmm…" Raito mumbled into L's neck, kissing along his shoulder and rubbing his back before answering. "What?"
"We…" L pulled his head up for a short kiss, before pushing back slightly. "We need to stop." He smiled slightly.
Without a word, Raito kissed him again.
"Raito-kun…" L tried to complain against his lips, but failed and it came out as a pitiful: "Raiffo-koomff."
Raito smiled against his lips, knowing he was going a bit far, but kissing L was becoming a drug to him now, and he didn't know if it was a good or a bad thing anymore.
Normally, it'd have been bad, but now… now it was just a great feeling.
However, he decided to pull away and L leaned against him for support. "That was nice, Raito-kun."
"Yeah…"
Matsuda jumped as a hand thumped against the table he was working on. He looked up, frightened, at Raito, who was glaring at him.
Suddenly, something came flying at his head, and hit him in between the eyes and he fell off his chair and onto the floor in shock.
"There's your ring!" Raito yelled at him. He glared for a moment, before sighing at the man and returning to his normal chair, L following shortly after frowning at the confused Matsuda, who was wincing on the floor.
At least they'd get some work done.
Okay.
It was nerve-racking to walk up to his front door with L.
Honestly, would his mom figure it out? That they were secretly seeing each other?
God, wouldn't that be a great birthday present?
Sayu would probably think it was hot, but that's just her.
His dad, on the other hand, would probably shoot L dead on the spot, and then beat the living crap out of Light; even after he was dead he'd still be beating the rotting crap out of him.
And yes, for Soichiro Yagami, that is possible, so don't laugh.
He had no idea what his mother might think, but it probably wouldn't be pretty.
"Raito-kun seems nervous." L noted, nibbling his thumb as they stopped at the door. He was pretty nervous himself to be honest.
"Yes, I am." Raito replied, flattening his hair with one hand, the other holding a chocolate box.
He didn't, and would never, trust L to hold the chocolate box, so he'd given him the bouquet of flowers to keep a hold of instead. "Ready?"
"As ready as can be expected." L said confusingly, causing Raito to chuckle at the complex man and ring the doorbell.
It took only seconds for it to be answered as a happy, warm smile greeted them. And it belong to none other than Raito's mother; Yagami Sachiko.
"Raito!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around him. "It's been so long! But you look the same as ever!"
"Hi, mom." Raito smiled, patting her back with one hand while L watched the display of affection. "It's good to see you again."
"I thought you'd never come home!" She frowned when she let go, but the smile quickly reappeared as she set eyes on L, who shifted slightly. "And who do we have here?"
"Mom," Raito began, gesturing a hand towards L. "This is Ryuzaki. You know, from my class."
"Oh, yes." She said politely, smiling at L. "How do you do."
"It's nice to meet you." L smiled back.
"Aw, aren't you sweet. Why don't you boys come inside?" Sachiko moved out of the way and beckoned them inside. "Sayu's been waiting for you."
Raito smiled at her and walked inside, L pulled along with the handcuff. Sachiko looked oddly down at them, but shrugged and forgot about it.
Boy will be boys.
Raito just about got his slippers on when he was attacked by a screaming girl.
He dropped the chocolate box, which L caught by reflex, and straightened back up again.
"Raito!" The girl squealed. "Raito! Raito! Raito!"
Oh, God no.
Who invited her? L is going to be pissed.
"Hey Misa." Raito sighed and hugged her back awkwardly until she let go but took his hand and dragged him fully into the room, to reveal a perfectly decorated party, with banners and balloons.
And, of course, there was cake.
L glared at Misa's hand that was attached to Raito's while Sayu walked into the room, eyes widening when she saw L.
"Raito-kun!" Sayu exclaimed, skipping over to Raito, who smiled brightly at her.
"Happy Birthday, Sayu." He hugged her without a second thought. Just as he was about to pull away, she whispered in his ear…
"I'm sorry, I couldn't just not invite her."
Then she pulled back and smiled apologetically. Raito nodded in understanding.
L stood awkwardly in front of her, until she smiled at him, and he eased up a little. "Hi, I'm Sayu. You are…?"
"Ryuzaki, I'm one of Raito's classmates." L bowed politely. "Nice to meet you."
Sayu bowed back. "Riiiiiiight." She stressed the word to make it clear she knew that was all a lie, making L back away a little.
What was wrong with this picture?
Raito's sister is not Kira; she's too nice.
"So… Why are you chained to Ryuzaki, sweetheart?" Misa asked Light, squeezing his hand.
"It started off as a joke…" Raito began awkwardly.
"And…?"
L answered. "And we lost the key. We're waiting on a replacement one, so we must bare it, for now."
"Oh! You're so cute!" Misa laughed.
"Excuse me?" L asked as he was shooed over to the sofa. He sat in his normal crouch, making Misa stare at him.
"That is uber-kawaii!!" Misa began, smiling, and pissing Raito off completely. "Do you always sit like that?"
"Yes. It's customary."
"Why, Ryuzaki?" Soichiro asked, suddenly appearing.
"Sitting like this increases my reasoning ability by forty-percent." L answered simply, chewing his thumb.
"Hey!" Sachiko exclaimed from the kitchen. "How does brownies before dinner sound?"
L's eyes lit up. Brownies.
Misa grimaced. Fats.
Soichiro sighed. Before dinner? Bad example.
Sayu laughed. Yummy!
Raito sighed. Sure, let's have some brownies.
… but they'd better have walnuts.
Me: When I wrote the beginning, I was having a pretty bad day myself, which is why it's so angsty.
Chibi Misa: What happened?
Chibi L: What? You thought of me kissing your leg?
Me: No, no. I lost my contacts, broke my phone, among other things.
Chibi Sayu: Dayum.
Chibi Mikami: DELETE! D:
Me: What the hell? Why are you here?
Chibi Raito: Mikami?
Chibi Mikami: GOD!
Chibi L: Wait. God? God of the New World? Kira…?
Chibi Sayu: Holy shit.
Chibi Misa: Hey, L, why aren't you fat?
Chibi L: Hey, Amane-san, why aren't you pretty?
Me: Hey, wait-!
Chibi Watari: Ho ho ho hoho ho!
