Secret Hideaway

"Where exactly are we?" Light asked, still looking at everything around the foyer of the large house.

"My secret hideaway; so secret no one, not even Watari, knows where it is," L answered, somewhat plainly.

"Then, why'd you bring me here if it's so secret?"

"We won't be bothered here, and anyways, I trust you with the location. I know you won't tell anyone else about this place."

Light smiled, glad that he was trusted. But why did L have this sudden need to get to know him better? What did he want to know? Light was a bit suspicious, but, he knew that he could trust L.

Light felt the chain of the handcuffs tug at his wrist, snapping Light back into reality. L had started walking, and Light dashed forwards to walk beside him. L led him through the house, taking him into a large bedroom. Light was a little confused; why talk in a bedroom, why not a living room? Light was beginning to get a little nervous.

L sat on the edge of the large bed, and he prompted Light to take a seat with him. Light sat down beside L, and looked at him, staring into his eyes. L stared right back, and for a couple minutes, they just sat there, gazing into each other's eyes. Finally, Light broke their gaze, looking at his hands, his face beet red.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Light asked, trying to get a proper conversation going.

L had to think about that for moment. "I just need to ask you a couple of questions… That's all Light-kun."

Light nodded, waiting. L seemed to be thinking of questions to ask the brunette, but, Light knew that L had probably already thought of all the questions he would ask.

"We're friends… correct Light-kun?" he finally asked, staring at his bare feet.

"Of course L, you should know that…"

"Good. And, Light-kun, just curious, but, how do you feel about Misa?"

Light shuddered slightly. He didn't really like Misa all that much. But, she had it locked in her head that she loved him, because he was Kira. But, Light felt nothing for the blonde girl, finding her clinginess to be annoying, and a bit of a burden.

"She's merely a friend. I don't like her anymore than that."

"Interesting… Now, answer this. Why did you blush earlier when I licked that chocolate off of your face?" L asked, only because he had his suspicions about Light's feelings for him. And, in truth, though he wouldn't say it just yet, L felt the same way for the brunette.

"I… I, uh…" Light stuttered, blushing yet again.

L's suspicions were cleared; he had gotten the answer he wanted, even though Light hadn't really said anything.

"How very interesting Light-kun. I make you blush… That makes me wonder now, how will you react when I do this?" L asked calmly.

The raven-haired man came close to Light, very close. He grabbed the back of his brunette hair, tugging Light closer. L's lips found Light's quickly. The kiss was rough, yet passionate and gentle at the same time. And, just as L expected, Light began kissing back. It wasn't long till their tongues were in each other's mouths. But, they broke away shortly, both gasping for air. Both of them realized the bond they shared now. They knew that they wouldn't, nay, couldn't go back to being away from each other.

"So… Light-kun; you obviously like me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have reacted like that," L said, panting slightly.

"Well, I could say the same for you L. I had no idea you were attracted to anyone like that, let alone me."

"I have always liked you Light-kun, I just needed to figure out if you felt the same way," L said, leaning closer to Light again. He had figured out what he wanted, and now, he would take advantage of it.

L gently licked Light's throat, kissing lightly from the base of his neck, right up to his chin. Light did nothing to stop the sickly sweet feeling of L's lips along his neck and throat. L continued on, his tongue now tracing Light's jaw-line. He stopped for a moment, waiting for Light's reaction, which didn't take long. The brunette buried his face into L's neck, licking his neck, and then kissing lightly along his throat. Light stopped and looked into L's eyes before he initiated another kiss.

The feeling was sweet; both love and lust all at once. L had wanted this from Light for quite some time, and he didn't hesitate in sticking his tongue into Light's mouth yet again. L grabbed Light's hair with one hand again. His free hand was snaking up the brunette's shirt, his finger's carefully tracing Light's chest. Light grabbed the back of L's hair too, and the detective winced slightly when Light tugged his hair. But, he didn't falter, pushing Light backwards, onto the bed, and moved his mouth form Light's mouth, to his chest, licking the smooth skin that wasn't entirely covered by his shirt.

Light stopped L when he felt his shirt slowly being unbuttoned. This was too much for him to take at once, and he pushed L off of his chest, though he regretted it soon after. They both sat up, panting slightly, hair tousled, Light's shirt ever-so-slightly unbuttoned at the top. L frowned, confused. He was the most out of breath, and he planned on continuing, but Light looked like he needed to say something. L let himself regain his breath before he said anything.

"Why'd you stop me Light-kun?" he finally asked, pouting.

"Just so that I could ask you something…"

"Oh… very well; and what's that?"

"Well, it's just that, you said you planned this whole day out… did you bring me here, knowing that if your suspicions about my feelings were correct, so that we could…" Light stopped, panting slightly, but mostly because he was feeling even more nervous than before.

"Yes, I was in fact hoping that we could go further than where you stopped me. Y'know, sex…" L spoke so calmly, his voice never showing any signs of nervousness in his tone.

"Alright, I understand that much… but, I don't know if I'm ready for this quite yet…" Light couldn't help but blush again. This day was just one surprise after another for him.

"OK Light-kun… I suppose we can do something else. But later… you're all mine," L said, his eyes glinting. He changed his tone now, a bit more cheery. "How about going for ice cream? Your treat, remember?" he asked now. He could be reasonable, and maybe after having some ice cream, Light would be ready, and more willing, for L to take control of him.

Light grinned now, glad that L was able to accept that he wasn't ready. Light was also glad that L had remembered his offer of ice cream. It would be good to get out of this room, though he knew that L was probably silently planning things for later. He threw away all the nervous feelings he felt right now. Ready just to get out of this house for a little while.
