Summary: Kira brought Raito to L, the one person he could love. But, is love enough to concur the evil that is Kira? Or, is that love itself the true evil? L's life is at stake, and Raito is the only one who can save it, but will he? L/Light, Mello/Near. Yaoi.

Me: … School.

Chibi Raito: Isn't it the Christmas holidays where you live?

Chibi Mello: Shut it.

Chibi Mikami: Do not tell my God to shut it!

I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in the snow
And all that time he was silent, still
If you love me, wont you let me know?

Death Note:
Redemption

By NinjaKittyx3

::::

Raito wished L had told him. He couldn't have told him this one simple fact?

Really?

Positively L could have told him that Misa was coming over. It was a simple task, but no, let's keep him guessing.

Misa had come over shortly after breakfast the next morning, by L's request. She was scared to deny anything from L because of what happened during Sayu's birthday. Honestly, why did the man have to be so scary? Was he born that way? She swore to herself, as she walked through the doors of the building and went through security, that she would shoot herself dead if she ever saw anyone as scary as L. And it was a promise to herself, and probably everyone else too – but she didn't exactly know that.

Raito glared at L as the girl approached him and threw her arms around him loveably. It was visible that Raito did not know the meaning of 'loveable', and L smirked behind his laptop at that. Matsuda was stammering behind Misa, after having showed her around.

"Amane-san, it's nice to see you again." L said politely, not looking up from the laptop, not allowing her – or Raito – to see his smirk.

"Yeah… right." Misa said uncertainly, clinging to Raito.

Raito sighed.

"Hello, Misa. Aren't you going out with Sayu today?"

"Well, actually, Mr. Ryuzaki asked me to come over." Misa said happily. Then she sighed.

"Misa-Misa, can I get your autograph?" Matsuda burst into the conversation, gaining a look from Aizawa that quite literally said 'someone needs to get you a hobby or…something'.

"Sure, Matsuda-san!" Misa popped up from Raito's lap, stealing a pen from his pocket.

"Hey, I need th-" Raito started.

"Now, Matsuda-san, where'd you want it?" She asked happily. Matsuda handed her a small notebook, and L hoped it wasn't the case's notes that were in there. "Just anywhere?"

"Y-yeah." Matsuda said, smiling.

Behind him, Aizawa ran a hand down his face.

"Misa, this is hardly appropriate at the time." Raito said, standing, forcing L to stand too. "Can I have my pen back now?"

"Sure!" Misa scribbled her autograph and handed Light back the pen. "Can Misa-Misa have a kiss for being obedient?" Raito just blinked at her and she pouted unhappily. "Ne, Ryuzaki-san, can I go on a date with Raito?"

L bit his thumb. "Where to?"

Misa swayed her arms. "I dunno. To the park?"

"Right now?" Raito said ridiculously.

L seemed to work out the situation in his head for a moment whilst Raito and Misa bickered about how the park was totally inappropriate. When it was over, L cut in. "Watari, we will be going to the park."

"Yes, Mr. Ryuzaki." Watari's voice was heard over an intercom.


Misa and Raito were holding hands walking threw the park, whilst L trailed behind them, pouting to himself.

He wanted to hold Raito's hand whilst walking through the park; she shouldn't have the right to.

…But, it was a lovely day, none the less. Perfect sunny weather that L didn't normally get to see a lot of during his life. With him, it was always raining in some way, whether it was outside, or inside.

He'd experienced both.

"Raito, it's a lovely day today, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Raito squeezed Misa's hand. He'd realised that the more he acted like he loved her, the less times she'd bug him just to make sure. "It's lovely."

Misa; the girl he loved.

Yeah, Misa; girl he loved to hate.

Suddenly, the girl's cell phone rang.

She stopped walking; Raito stopping also and turned towards Misa. L, not looking up from his pout, bumped into Raito, who caught him. Since Misa was busy on a phone call, Raito held L there in his arms, and L snuggled into his chest.

Passbyer's were looking at them strangely, especially the ones who had seen Raito holding Misa's hand not two minutes before.

L found that he couldn't care less.

All that mattered was Raito – and he was there, right in his arms.

"Yes, yes." Misa said, looking at her nails, paying no attention to the scene behind her. "Yes… No… Maybe. Uh-huh, sure I'll be there… What?"

Raito nuzzled his face into L's hair when L's hand crept up the back of Raito's shirt and caressed his back with cold fingertips.

"Right, right." Misa put a fist in the air- "Misa-Misa will be there!"-and hung up the phone. She turned around to see Raito looking at her, L looking at the sky, thumb in his mouth. "Sorry, Light! Misa must go!"

"What?" Raito frowned. "Go where?"

"A meeting about my new movie!" Misa grabbed Raito's arm and yanked him forward, placing a kiss upon his lips.

L looked away, his free hand balling up into a fist.

It was his idea that Raito remained with Misa, but was it meant to hurt this much? Surely it wasn't normal.

It was like he loved Raito.

… wait.

"Are you alright?" L whispered, rubbing Raito's cheek.

"I'm fine. Sorry." Raito whispered back, eyes closing as he leaned his head against the pillow. "I'm losing my self-control with you."

L nodded quietly in understanding, but still gazed at those closed eyes. "I should apologise?" It was said like a question.

"Of course not."

"Raito-kun…" L started but trailed off, biting his lip.

Raito opened one eye. "Hmm?"

"…" L stopped chewing his lip and looked dead into Raito's eyes. "I think I lo-"

The alarm went off.

Just what was L planning to say to Raito there? Okay, he was kidding himself here. He knew exactly what he was going to say. He was going to tell the younger man he was in love with him.

But, really. He'd really been about to tell him that? Raito was the main suspect of being Kira!

"Misa…" Raito pushed her away slightly. "You're going to be late…"

Misa frowned. "You're right. Bye-bye Raito!"

Without a goodbye to L – not that he could care less – she was off, skipping down the street.

"So much for our date." Raito said cheerily.

"…" L chewed is thumb and stared at Raito.

"What do we do now?" Raito asked, eyeing L curiously. Slowly, he took L's hand and guided him to the nearest park bench. L sat in his usual crouch – if anyone could call that sitting. L's face looked perfectly normal, but Raito knew something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

L sighed; the younger man knew him too well. "I am having hard time adjusting to the fact that Raito-kun is dating Amana Misa."

Raito blinked. "You were the one-"

"I know, Raito-kun, please do not remind me." L waved his hand, indicating a change of topic. "About your dream… with the apple… what exactly happened in it?"

"Uh…" Raito looked down and fiddled with his jacket zipper.

Well, L, you see…

"Just an apple."

"… And what was that apple doing?"

"… stuff." Raito mumbled.

L sighed and looked at him painfully.

"Okay. Uh… it was being eaten?"

L blinked. "Okay. Were you eating it?"

"No."

"Was I eating it?"

"No."

"Was Misa eating it?"

"No."

"Was a Shinigami eating it?"

Raito blinked. No way in hell! "What the- Huh?"

L bit his thumb. "I said; was a Shinigami eating the apple?" L turned to look at the sky, recalling the notes he had received from Kira. "L, do you know? Gods of death love apples."

Raito sighed. "I'm not Kira."

"I never said that you were – today." L added. "Just because we are having a romantic relationship does not mean your Kira percentage has gone down."

"I know that." Raito looked at him, and then glanced at his watch. "Ryuzaki… we should head back. It's going to get dark soon."

God! What the hell was with his watch? The back was practically falling off!

Raito made a mental not to himself – open back of watch to see what the hell is happening back there.


Chibi L: Finished! –waves arms-

Chibi Mello: No watches were hurt in the making of this fan fiction.
