Death Note:
Redemption

By NinjaKittyx3

::::

The first thing Raito did when he woke up in L's arms was blush, silently recalling the night before. As he looked around, he concluded that he and L had fallen asleep in the main room, beside L's laptop. His reason for blushing was the fact that he had admitted to the sleeping beauty beside him that he loved him, and the fact that he'd just referred to L as a 'sleeping beauty' only intensified his blush.

Yes, it seemed as though they were going to have a good morning if things carried on like this. Raito was ecstatic, to say the least. He had had a good night's sleep, was in love with someone who delightfully loved him back just as much, and he was currently in the security of said person's arms.

He nuzzled L's neck on the sofa, where they were currently sprawled, legs tangled together. L sighed happily in his sleep, but showed no signs of waking up as his arms tightened around Raito.

Well, he thought it was going to be a good day.

What he hadn't noticed was Matsuda walking in somewhere in between his thoughts. Now, Matsuda was a simple minded individual, so he was rather happy seeing the detective and Raito sprawled on the sofa like that. In fact, he was smiling, and if he were a girl, he'd probably be squealing.

What Raito hadn't counted on was his father walking in not two minutes after. Go figure.

"Matsuda, what are you looking at?" Soichiro asked as he walked over to the weird man, overlooking the fact that his son was in the arms of…

Wait a minute.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!"

L jumped upright, successfully injuring Raito's back in the process.

No, backs don't bend that way.

However, L noticed, and discreetly laid a hand on the small of Raito's back, massaging it as a form of apology. Raito rubbed his eyes, which widened considerably as his mind registered that that was his father's voice that was yelling at them.

"Chief!" Matsuda attempted to calm the man, yet failed… miserably. "I'm sure Ryuzaki-san and Raito-kun have a pretty logical explana-"

"Raito! Get off of Ryuzaki this instant!" Soichiro ordered, marching over to the two and pulling Raito by his collar off of L. Raito silently thanked heavens that he'd managed to put his shirt back on the night before, or there would have been murder. That is… if there wasn't going to be murder anyway.

L stood up quietly, only to be silently pushed back down, gently, by Matsuda as a warning. L took the hint and remained sitting – normally.

"Raito, what were you doing!?" Soichiro demanded, glaring at Raito, who looked utterly terrified.

"Um… well, I was… s-sleeping." Raito said pathetically. Soichiro face seemed to turn red.

"Don't be a smart ass." Soichiro said, a little more quietly, but he was still shouting. "Why were you sleeping on each other?!"

"Yagami-san, there is a perfectly logical explanation." L spoke up for the first time, standing. Soichiro sent him the world's deadliest death glare, which had L silently getting lower in his hunched over stance.

"Oh, really?" Soichiro turned from red to purple. "And, care to elaborate?!"

"…" Raito was just about to pass out in his fathers hold, but was to afraid to point out that Soichiro was choking him. L seemed to notice, and his fist clenched at his side. He had to clear Raito before he was killed unintentionally.

"I will inform Yagami-san of the explanation…" L put his thumb in his mouth, silently calculating how to get out of this – alive. "… Once I think of one."

Great going, Ryuzaki, Raito thought sarcastically.

Of course, this caused Soichiro to erupt at L, but thankfully let go of Raito, who fell into the arms of Matsuda. Raito leaned against Matsuda, who allowed him silently, for support.

Once that rant was over, Soichiro grabbed Raito and, quite literally, dragged him by his collar out of the investigation room, being silently followed by Matsuda, leaving L alone and frustrated that he couldn't think of an excuse.


The rant Raito got in Head Quarters was nothing compared to the one he got at home. True, it was around eight am and most people were still sleeping, but Soichiro didn't seem to mind. Sachiko had spent her morning yelling at Soichiro that he was overreacting, Soichiro yelling back for the time being. Sayu had been sitting next to Raito at the table, as if acting as some sort of protection for him, even though she was his little sister. He's setting a bad example, it's societies fault, what sort of freak show is Ryuzaki running, la-di-la-di-bloody-la.

What were Matsuda and Soichiro even doing there anyway? They weren't supposed to come back until Monday, and it was Saturday. Meh, Matsuda probably forgot something and they had to go back and get it, like his ring again. Raito smirked at the memory, and of course, that was when his Dad decided to stop for the briefest of moments and catch him.

"What are you grinning at?" and then he was off again. Does he know how much he's letting the family down? He's going to send him off to boarding school – no, military school! See how he likes that! Maybe that will de-fruit him!

"What?! De-FRUIT ME?!" Raito stood up harshly, knocking over his chair in the process. "Since when do you have the authority to tell me what I can and can't do!?"

"I'm you're father!" Soichiro all but screamed back at him. "It was built in as soon as I became a parent!"

"Soichiro!" Sachiko yelled, standing also.

Poor Sayu. Having to sit through this, even though she probably knew already. Oh well, it's not like she could have done anything to prevents this from happening. This was Raito's mistake, and he'd see to it that it never happened again.

"Ryuzaki-san said he would totally explain the situation!"

"I'm sorry, Raito. But for him to see he'll tell me when he thinks up one is not good enough!" Soichiro pinched the bridge of his nose, struggling to keep his voice under control. "Raito… why were you lying on Ryuzaki?"

Sayu all but squealed.

This is bad. Come on Raito, you can think of something. All those weeks of living with L must have had some effect on you!

Raito looked at his feet. Damnit.

"You can't tell me, can you?" Soichiro asked quietly.

"…" Raito remained silent. In fact, the whole room was silent, only the small clock on the worktop and Soichiro's harsh breathing was heard.

Raito pouted upstairs. Sayu went after him, but Sachiko held her back and said it was best to leave the men of the house alone for the day.


Grounded for a week. A freaking week of nothing but his room to keep Raito company. A week that passed slowly. And what was worse? He didn't get to see L, or even hear from him, and Soichiro made sure of it.

On one night, Raito lay down on his bed and cried. To think that L, the man he loved, was in Head Quarters all alone, with not even Watari to keep him company.

Emptiness. That's all Raito felt.

Oh, boy. He was really in deep. Well done, Raito.

Living was becoming a chore, a chore that he didn't want to continue without the one he loved. Woah, he was really starting to sound like a love sick puppy now. No, just… maybe sleep was a good idea right now.

Yeah, sleep.


Early on the Saturday morning, exactly a week since Raito and L had been in contact, something hit Raito's window, waking him up from his peaceful slumber.

What the…? Was that a stone? Raito blinked repeatedly, and decided just to brush it off as the wind, but then it hit his window again, and he sat up, rubbing his eyes furiously.

He managed to stumble out of bed in his boxers and vest, glancing at the clock on his bed side table, silently noting that it was only a quarter past midnight, and he's only been asleep for about an hour at best. Grumbling, he made is way over to the window, pushed the curtain over and peered out tiredly.

A hooded figure stood down below, on the grass, staring right back up at him. Raito opened the curtains, followed by the window, and was about to yell at the man for waking him up in the almost pitch black of the morning, but then the odd man took down his hood and gazed up at Raito. Raito blinked furiously, struggling to stay awake, and a rock suspiciously hit his forehead, planting itself right between his eyes, successfully pissing him off enough to open his eyes fully and glare down at the figure.

Raito felt his breath catch. N-no way… Raito squeezed his eyes closed and rubbed them, briefly hearing a chuckle from down below, then opened them again.

His heart thudded. L.

L smiled up and Raito and motioned for him to hurry.

A… break out? L is breaking me out? Raito blinked at said man for a moment, before slipping out of the window and gently lowering himself onto the roof. Sadly, it had been raining the night before, so he managed to slip and fall off, but luckily landed in the security of L's arms. And with that, L took off running down the street, before throwing Raito into the passenger seat of a car and getting in beside him and driving off.

L dives like a madman. One hundred miles per hour. They made it to Head Quarters in record time.


"Raito-kun!"

Raito was practically jumped on when they'd reached their room. God knows why they were still running, but Raito had just snuck out of his own home and disobeyed his father's orders, so maybe that was the reason.

"L…" Raito sighed in relief and happiness as he wrapped his arms around L's waist, while L's arms wound their way around Raito's neck. "I-"

"I love you." L whispered urgently, as if Raito was going to disappear at any moment. Raito smiled happily, and buried his face in L's mess of hair.

"I love you too." He whispered.

They stood like that for a while, squeezing one another as if to make sure they were still together. L wondered why he had gone to such lengths to retrieve Raito. He loved the boy, so perhaps it was the fact that he had never loved before... and Soichiro had taken that love from him, and that was something he'd never experienced before. To love, and have that love ripped away was not a very good feeling.

Raito suddenly leaned back from L slightly, only to capture his lips in a reuniting kiss. L returned the favour eagerly, telling Raito how much he missed this by the groan that escaped the back of his throat.

Raito opened his mouth to allow him entry, which L took willingly, savouring the taste of Raito's mouth. His hands found there way up to tangle itself in his hair. Raito's grip around L's waist tightened as he tilted his head for a new angle. Their tongues dances gently, lovingly, as if they had been choreographed. L moaned into the kiss as Raito's hand grazed his behind and rubbed it lightly, but it didn't stay there for long. L could have whimpered when he felt Raito's hand leave his behind, but he had more pride than that.

Raito's hand moved under L's shirt and continued to drag it up his back as he loosened their kiss, making it clear what his intention was. L broke away and allowed Raito to fully pull the offending shirt over his head. L's eyes widened slightly, as if he'd suddenly remembered something, and backed away from Raito, pacing over to the door and locking it.

No one was going to interrupt them this time.

Raito seemed to take the hint, pulling off his own shirt and throwing it on the floor, waiting for L to come back over. Their lips met again in bliss as they slowly moved across the room until Raito gently pushed L onto the bed, rubbing down his side.

Raito separated their kiss slowly, moving his lips to L's neck to nip and lick at the delicious skin there. L rubbed Raito's back soothingly and Raito moved downwards, kissing along and down L's chest, much like he had before. L let out a low gust of air, closing his eyes as Raito worked lower, dragging his tongue down L's stomach, before stopping at his waistline.

L whimpered slightly as the feeling of Raito's tongue left his skin. Raito leaned back up and towered over him, quietly asking L to open his eyes. He stroked L's cheeking, smiling ever so slightly.

"If you want to stop, all you have to do is say, okay?" Raito whispered, pecking L's cheek in reassurance. L nodded, his eyes half-lidded.

Raito's lips met L's again, his hands moving down his abdomen and down his thigh. L gasped and dragged his nails lightly down Raito's back, softly moving them over his behind, deciding to keep them there.

Raito's breath became harder as L rubbed his behind. He broke away from L, moving back to his neck, his hands travelling to work with L's pants button. They came off without a fuss, and Raito glanced at the cupcake print design of L's boxers, made more prominent by the bulge down there. He hovered over L and smirked.

"Cupcakes?" He breathed. "Really?"

L's cheeks turned pink. "Watari's birthday present..."

Chuckling, Raito played with the waist band of said cupcake print boxers. L rolled them over, grinning.

"I like them." he noted, fumbling with Raito's own pants. Raito leaned up, stopping just before he met L's lips and whispered,

"I never said I didn't like them." And he kissed L so hard, so passionately, that L's hands actually stopped moving for a moment. But, eventually, he did succeed in removing Raito's pants, revealing plain boxers.

"Boring." L scolded, smiling crookedly at Raito's white underwear.

Raito flipped them back over, smirking at L.

He decided he would give L more time until he was ready before he made sure the man couldn't walk for a few days.

Slowly, Raito moved his hips against L's, their hardened and painfully obvious erections, rubbing together. Raito groaned when L gripped his behind tightly and fumbled with the top of L's boxers. L rocked his hips up into Raito's and they both gasped at the amazing feeling.

Locking his lips with L's, Raito succeeded in removing L's boxers, before removing his own, taking a moment to compare them in size.

L brought Raito's head down for a loving kiss, causing Raito to accidentally bump his own erection against L's. They both groaned.

"R-Raito…" L moaned as Raito rocked hard against him.

Panting heavily, Raito squeezed his eyes shut when L grabbed his hips and ground them down against his own, a moan escaping them both. Raito kissed along L's face frantically, before reaching his mouth. They kissed deeply as Raito rubbed L's nipple and ground against him at the same time.

L began moving his hips in circular motions against Raito's slowly.

"A-Ah..." Raito moaned, his head falling into L's neck in intense pleasure. L had begun moaning at the constant friction between them both when he continued moving his hips, speeding up.

"Raito-kun..." L panted lowly. "...ah...m-more..."

"Nnngh." Was Raito's reply.

They quickened up the pace noticably, and even though they weren't exactly going all the way Raito was certainly not complaining. Evidently, neither was L.

L felt it become to much as Raito ground against him whilst rubbing his nipple, and kissing him at the same time.

"R-Raito-kun...!" L moaned as he released, Raito following soon afterwards due to the way L had moaned his name. He collapsed onto the detective, panting heavily as they both regained their breath.

L felt tired as Raito's ran a hand through his hair soothingly, then rolling to the side, off of L. L snuggled into Raito's chest, pulling the covers up and over them.

"Raito-kun," L whispered.

"Hmm?" Raito hummed.

"I love you." L finished, nuzzling into Raito's chest.

Raito smiled and, fighting sleep, he said, "I love you more."
