When Light came to, he was back in bed and chained to L. His head was throbbing and the consistent tapping and slurping noises beside him were not helping.

He opened his eyes slowly, but not fully, staring at the ceiling.

"Must you be so loud? You're supposed to be drinking tea not making music with it."

"Making music?" said L, now staring into the distance trying to make sense of what Light had just said.

"Never mind Ryuzaki, just be a little more quiet."

"Fine. Is Light going to work today?"

"Hmm? Oh, work... Yeah I guess I will once the team arrive."

"They have arrived Light, it's 2 in the afternoon. You were out for quite a while."

Light sat up when he heard it was so late with the intentions of racing around to get dressed but seeing as he was already late, he may as well take his time.

He threw away the blanket that was covering him and stretched his arms in an attempt to wake his body up a little, not noticing the detectives stare as he revealed his defined muscles.

He glanced at the older man who was now looking at his laptop once again, and gestured at him to get up so he could get up. He then stood, tugging at the chain as he pulled the detective across the bed.

Once L had regained control of his movements, he hopped off the bed and stood beside Light, their eyes meeting. They didn't move, they didn't speak, they just stood, enjoying the moment of just staring into the other's eyes.

Light, still staying silent, took a step away and then walked over to his wardrobe to gather clean clothes to wear for the day. Once he had a full set of clothes he placed them on the bed before deciding to break the silence, knowing the conversation could go very wrong.

"Ryuzaki, about last night..." Light began, already feeling a blush creep on to his face.

"What about it Light-kun?"

"Well... I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable...."

"If what made me uncomfortable?"

"You know what I mean L!! Don't act stupid now of all times!"

"Light did a lot of things that could have made me uncomfortable."

Light froze at this, thinking he spoke in his sleep or did more than put his arm around the older man.

"Wha- What do you mean??"

"Well, you fell on top of me, you slept with me and pulled me closer than I would have liked. Oh, did I mention you also hacked your way into my computer and read all my files and e-mails?"

Light's eyes widened and he turned to face the detective, his mouth opening and closing resembling a goldfish.

"I... I meant about the whole sleeping with you and putting my arm around you.... And I only went on to your computer to see if you had found anything that could have helped with my research on where Kira might be now. And I didn't actually read your e-mails... Why would I??"

"Well you didn't appear to be sleeping well so I left you be even though it will never happen again. And if you were Kira you could have checked my computer to see how close I was to catching you and if I was close you could easily do something to throw me off course. And as for the e-mails you could have wanted to get my real name. But even if you did read them you wouldn't have my real name because only one person knows it. And that person does not e-mail me and wouldn't think of using my real name then. So Kira, hoe accurate am I?" L was just hoping Light wouldn't call him on his bluff.

"Well, not very because I'm not Kira. It would be a good theory if I was actually trying to kill you but since I'm not, it's not relevant. What I don't understand Ryuzaki, is why I would want your real name... it makes no sense. And if you really must know, I had a nightmare. So no, I did not sleep well."

"You would want my real name to kill me. What was Light-kun's nightmare about?"

"Why would I need your name to kill you? I could do it right now and I wouldn't need your name. And it doesn't matter about the nightmare. I had it, it scared the hell out of me and now it's over. End of."

"Well now Light-kun you are Kira so you would kill me with your Death Note like Misa did I presume and that would require my real name. And is your father really still scary enough to give you nightmares?"

Light froze again, not even able to respond to him being called Kira. He knows. How does he know?

L, seeing Light wasn't going to say anything decided to keep talking. "Light also went onto his father's computer which had files very irrelevant to the Kira case. I looked at these files and I have decided Soichiro Yagami is not fit to work and he will be arrested as soon as I get downstairs. You have a strong sense of Justice because of what happened, but you snapped. You couldn't handle the pressure so you became Kira. You killed criminals the government couldn't or wouldn't punish to make you feel stronger. Now Light, tell me how accurate is that?!"

Light was stunned; L had it right down to the last detail. But of course he couldn't admit it. So instead he decided to be that dramatic teen he had began to get a name for.

He charged at L grabbing his shoulders and slamming him into the wall closest to them.

"Light-kun ~"

"No Ryuzaki, shut up and listen! It's my turn to talk now! I am NOT Kira, do you hear me?! No, do you understand me?! I'm not now, I never was and I never will be!! As for my father, that's none of your business so stay out of it! What you saw... What you saw happened a long time ago and we've gotten past it. I have a strong sense of justice because it's right, not because of what happened!!"

Light was now towering over L, his face bent into L's to intensify the meaning and threat in his words. L said nothing for a moment.

"Light-kun, why are you man-handling me?? And those videos are recent and your fear of the man you call father is great. You are over nothing Light, not even yourself" sighed L as if he was bored or tired with Light now.

Hearing a commotion upstairs, Matsuda had decided to go check on the two boys. The sight he was greeted by was etched into his memory forever.

Light was standing in front of L, panting heavily and pinning him against the wall by his shoulders and wearing nothing but trousers and his shirt discarded on the floor from when he ran at L. L's hands were at Light's chest as he was about to push the teen away but now they were resting there and both males were staring at Matsuda who slowly backed out of the room and stayed silent for the rest of the day.

Light turned, not even bothering with the detective now. He waited for the cuff to be taken off and when it was he put the shirt on and grabbed L's hand when he tried to put it back on.

When L was about to speak, Light pushed L back until he hit the bed. He then moved slowly to poke L's sides, laughing to himself at how ticklish the man was. Maybe this is why he doesn't like to be touched.

In between the slightest of squeals, L tried to say stop but couldn't as he was attacked by another hand. He fell back to the bed in an attempt to escape the hands, which to his surprise worked.

He lay on the bed for a moment, closing his eyes while gathering his thoughts and trying to pretend that never happened. The greatest detective was being tickled. Tickled!!

His eyes flew open when a weight shifted on the bed and Light was crawling over him.

The room remained silent as Light settled himself on the wide eyed older man. Light rubbed his hands up the older man's chest, his shirt lifting a little as he moved, before planting a kiss on L's sweet lips.

L was too stunned to force Light away, so instead he responded to Light's every move. His mind was clouded from all logic and thought as the teens lips moulded perfectly against his own.

Light pulled away, gasping for air like the man below him. His face was flushed after the heated exchange but he couldn't tear away the playful smile that crept onto his lips.

When Light sat up again, running his hand through the detective's hair he took enjoyment from the gasp passing L's lips as he released a breath he didn't know he was holding.

The older male couldn't think, couldn't move, couldn't speak. Something about Light was intoxicating and he just couldn't say no, which would make it very difficult if Light really was Kira.

A few moments passed and L could finally think again. "Is Kira-kun trying to seduce me so I will not arrest him?"

Light sighed and a pained look flashed his features before he began to speak.

"Ryuzaki..." Light's voice was low and almost inaudible. "For the last time, I'm not Kira. I... I just... I think about you when I'm not with you, which doesn't exactly happen anymore seeing as we have these." Light left a shaky laugh leave his lips as he looked at the chain holding them together, then looked into the detective's eyes before continuing.

"I... I think I could fall for you Ryuzaki..."

L was shocked by this sudden confession and a slight smile crept onto his lips as he remembered that was what he had told Misa Amane.

"Light-kun... I thought you were just being shy with Misa... now I see I was in fact right." L's usual pale and emotionless face was returned back to normal as he sat up a little, resting on his elbows.

He grabbed the chain once more and closed it around Light's wrist before stopping to stare into Light's eyes which looked so confused, overflowing with emotions that L could not identify them all as quick as he could solve a case, the Kira case an exception of course!

When he was about to push the younger man off of him, he only got his hands to Light's chest before Soichiro barged into the room throwing the door open so hard when it hit the wall a crack was left in the wood.

"Otousan!"

"Why must people always just barge in here? You are in my building so at least knock Yagami-san if you do not wish to open the door at inappropriate times."

Soichiro's eyes widened at the scene before him. Light could almost feel the heat radiate from his father as the anger rose within him and his body was almost convulsing.

"L, take your hands and that chain off of my son. Now."

"I cannot do that Yagami-san. Light-kun is my main Kira suspect."

"Now Ryuzaki!"

"Do not raise your voice Yagami-san. I'm sure it is not wise for your high blood pressure."

"L. Release my son!"

"Otousan"

"Shut up Light!"

"Leave, Yagami-san"

"Wh-what?"

"This room. Leave it and return to work."

"Not without my son."

"Your son is staying with me. We will be going to work soon and I would quite like Light to stop shaking so he can function. So please leave now, we will talk later Yagami-san. Or I could just have you arrested now."

"Arrested? I am chief of the Japanese police force! You cant arrest me for want me to take my son away from you!"

"Actually, I could if I wanted to. But I have a valid reason."

"What reason?"

"Yagami-san beats and rapes his son. Or at least he did, it all stops now."

Soichiro froze, looking at his son who's head was bent and his hair covering his face as he tightened his hold he had on L's shirt. He turned his gaze to L before turning and walking out of the room, slamming the door on his way out.

As they listened to the heavy footsteps grow quieter, L and Light remained still.

A tear landed on L's cheek and he raised his hand to Light's face, rubbing away the tears that were sliding down his cheeks with his thumb.

"Light-kun is safe now. I will protect him."
