Hello lovers! I'm back with another chapter, longer then the last one i might add.. Now if you have any suggestions about the upcoming chapters please leave them in the review box or send me a PM.
The one i desire.
''.. So you're telling me that you're the master of death.. and that you somehow have to retrieve a death note that is capable of killing, unstoppable i might add, just by the use of your name within 40 seconds...'' Remus asked.
Both Harry and L only nodded, knowing that this was a lot of information for Remus to take in. Said man only groaned while putting his head in his hands. Harry had agreed to let Remus move in with him since he didn't have anywhere to go. L wasn't speaking with the man and had told Harry that the man should just rent a room instead of mooching of his godson. Harry didn't listen though and let Remus stay, which the older man was grateful for.
Remus wasn't liking the dark haired male that seemed to have caught his godsons interest. The man was tall, but hunched forward time to time and looked like he needed a good night rest. He also irritated Remus by trying to turn Harry against him, he knew he didn't deserve Harrys kindness but that doesn't mean he wasn't welcoming it.
''Do you have a plan to how you actually should go through with this? I mean this is dangerous..'' Remus asked now concerned. He didn't want Harry in harms way.
''Not yet, we just talked about it before you showed up. I think it's best to be on Yagami-kun's best side at the moment, that includes you too Harry.. no more violence alright?'' L reluctantly told Remus, it wasn't like he had any say in the matter according to him.
Harry pouted, mumbling that it wasn't his fault that the creep didn't leave him alone. Both L and Remus laughed at Harrys adorable behaviour making him glare at the two.
''Right.. well it seems that we can continue this chat at another time, I don't think we will come up with a plan tonight and it's getting quiet late..'' Harry said as he yawned. Today had been very emotional and he felt drained.
''Of course. I'm feeling quiet tired myself oddly enough.'' L answered, he wasn't usually sleepy, being an insomniac and all, but Harry made him feel much more than he ever had before and his new found emotions was draining his energy.
''Oh.. right you're leaving..'' Harry stated sadly, he didn't want L to go yet..
L crouched before his boyfriend, taking his hands in his. ''It's just over the night, i'll see you tomorrow alright?'' L said softly, he didn't want to leave but he didn't think it would be appreciated if he voiced his wishes, they just got together after all.
''Yeah.. but i thought you was going to sleep over, it's rather late..'' Harry answered while blushing, he was being a whiny brat..
L snickered at the double meaning in Harrys sentence but didn't voice his amusement.
''How about i stay over next weekend? You have your godfather to tend too and i'm sure you need to talk to each others.'' L proposed, he wanted to stay so bad but he knew Harry needed a grown up even though he was capable of handling himself, it was a safety net that L himself didn't have until Watari came around and he didn't want Harry to feel like he only could depend on him.
Harry only nodded, still a bit sad and didn't think he could stop himself form complaining if he had to speak at the moment. Even though L and he just got together he'd loved him for a long time so of course he didn't want to part from him.
L smiled sadly at his love, he too was sad to leave but he knew it was only a momentarily sadness and unfortunately work called and he needed to come up with a safe plan on how they would deal with the death note drama.
''Good night, love." L said and kissed him lightly on the lips before leaving and as he walked down the stairs, and looked up at the stars he felt blessed. His lonely heart wasn't as lonely anymore.
Harry touched his lips and blushed slightly. He was still sad that L had to leave but he knew L was right, he and Remus still had a lot to talk about and even though he'd felt close to his pseudo godfather before; he didn't anymore.
Remus had only sat there, observing their interactions and knew that L now was a huge part in his cubs life and he just had to live with Ls presence wether he liked it or not.
''You got a beautiful home cub.'' Remus stated softly, it felt a bit awkward now that they were alone but he was determent to return to their old relationship even if it would take years.
''Thanks, i like it too.'' Harry answered with fondness lacing his words. He loved his house, even though it could feel a bit lonely at times. He had never had a place to really call his home before and knowing that it was his made him feel secure.
''.. So how'd you and L meet? He doesn't seem much of a social guy..'' Remus asked, careful not to revile his dislike.
Harry chuckled at the memory, ''He actually helped me when i was being violated in my shop.'' He laughed even more when Remus looked horrified.
''It wasn't anything serious, just a costumer being a bit touchy and hard to deal with.'' Harry calmed his godfather down a bit by smiling sheepishly at him.
''I guess i owe him then..'' Remus said as he rubbed his neck. He hadn't realised how wrong his words had been until it was to late.
Harrys expression left all forms of enjoyment and replaced it with betrayal.
''Owe him what? Because you wasn't there to protect me? You don't owe him anything!'' Harry yelled and when Remus tried to reason with him Harry stopped him.
''No Remus! You wasn't there! You left me with those bastards and than you think you just can come crawling back into my life and have a say? You lost any respect you ever had from me the day you left, any friendship we've made vanished when you disappeared! I love you Remus, i really do but i can't just forgive, i want to have a relationship with you like before but don't expect me to just be fine with everything and for you too take responsibility for things that happened during the time you left. I am not as fragile as you and everyone in the wizard world believe! I defeated the dark lord, i sure as hell can defend myself against a teenage boy!'' Harry was now trembling with anger. He didn't want this.
''Harry i know you are strong, stronger than i'll ever be. But you are my cub, my son in everything but blood. I love you and even though i've made the biggest mistake in my life the day that i left to grieve in self pity my feelings hasn't changed. Of course i will feel like i owe the man, i wasn't there to protect you when i should have. I'm not here to tell you what too do, i'm here to make things right between us. I love you cub.'' Remus said with determination.
Harrys anger had faded some, even though he still was feeling a bit defensive. He decided that he didn't want to engage any further into the conversation at the time and dropped it.
He showed Remus the guest room and went to bed himself, hoping that tomorrow would be calmer.
The next day went smooth for the most part. Remus was still asleep when Harry got up and when it was time to open the store he decided to leave a note, telling Remus that he were downstairs and that there was breakfast in the pan.
His regular ladies took their time sharing the newest gossip while eating freshly baked scones with their regular cup of green tea.
Remus graced them with his presence around twelve and thanked Harry for the breakfast. Harry was still a bit sour with his godfather and only nodded as he went to bake another set of scones. It was only a matter of time before the students would be pouring in like they usually did.
Around three hours later students from various schools showed up and brightened up the place with laughter. Harry felt calmer even though there was a lot of 'potential danger' around. He liked serving people with his baking, it made them happy and him happy when they enjoyed eating it.
''Well, well it has been a while hasn't it Harold-kun..'' It wasn't a question and Harry knew who's voice the statement came from without turning towards the young man.
''I believe there is a reason for that.'' Harry answered briskly, was he this foolish?
Only arrogant chuckles where emitted from the young man who's smirk widened when his person of affection acknowledged him.
''You're not suppose to be here!'' Harry whisper-yelled. He was grateful that there wasn't anyone in line so he could deal with this insolent arse without making a scene.
''I told you i wouldn't stop Harold-kun.. I still haven't gotten a date.'' Light looked so smug at his request. He wasn't about to give up over a mare restraining order. His father hadn't even grated it since there were no valid proof.
''Get. out.'' Harry hissed coldly. He was fed up. Yesterday it was Remus that made him mad and today it had to be the bane of his excitant. He could now partly understand Snape's daily irritation with his presence.
''One date.'' Harry was both amazed at the stupidity and furious.
''Hmm.. I would agree if i were you Black-kun.. it doesn't seem like he wants to give up ...'' The partly bored and emotionless voice suggested.
Harry felt his heart shatter at the suggestion. His own boyfriend wanted him too go on a date.. with the man that was stalking and violated his life? Harry could only stare in disbelief at L, searching for some sort of emotion other than bored. He found none.
Light's chuckles turned amused while watching the detective, he guessed this was another attempt to get on his good side.
''Exactly just give in sweetheart, one date that's all i'm asking.''
Harry was confused and felt himself revert into himself, was there no one to trust anymore?
''Fine.. one date.'' Harry relented. He felt just as emotionless as his answer and L knew in that moment that he had gone through with it in the wrong way..
L had been up most of the night and the one thing he knew was that they needed to get close to the young Yagami.
(I will from here on write every name without the ''san'' and ''kun'')
He thought that if he would help Light get in ''good'' terms with Harry he could get some sort of points in his effort. And Harry in turn could take the opportunity to get closer to the teen himself.
He didn't want too, but it was their best shot, his only regret was not contacting Harry before going through with it. He saw Harrys calculating eyes search his own but they couldn't afford any slip ups at this stage so he remanded unemotional to the outside world.
''Great, i'll pick you up Friday at 8. See you then love.'' Light said as he left the store. Harry himself didn't answer he just felt like something was ripping his heart out with every breath he took. He couldn't look at L either. His name was called by the man but he refused to acknowledge it. He just turned around and went into the kitchen in silence.
L had left the cafe an hour later, no matter how many times he called for Harry he was ignored. He didn't give up though. Unknowing to Harry he went up to the apartment to speak with Harrys godfather, no matter how much he disliked him he knew he needed his help.
He found Remus in the kitchen, looking out the window with a thoughtful expression. He seemed distressed and if he could guess it all leaned towards Harry.
''You also gotten into a fight with him?'' L asked cautiously. He spoke English with the man even though he knew that both he and Harry had taken some sort of spell to understand Japanese.
Remus was a bit startled with the sudden presence but just nodded. ''You too?'' He asked and retrieved a nod in return.
He sighed and put his head in his hands while confessing their argument.
''I didn't mean to offend him but i am the closest thing to a father he has, i'll always feel the need to protect him.''
''Well it seems that you will be higher up in his books after what i did today..'' L himself sighed. He messed up. It was only a matter of days before this would happen, he was knew to the whole ''think about others feeling'' thing but as soon as his suggestion had left his mouth he regretted it.
''What did you do?'' Remus asked now concerned.
L retold the incidence and was met with silence. ''You. did. what?'' The words was cold. The older mans chest rumbled in a threatening, inhumane growl.
''Mr. Lupin i didn't think. You must admit it is the safest plan we've got! I admit that i went with it the wrong way but the plan is in motion! We needn't concern ourselves with the details the main concern now is Harry and if i'm right he'll be up here in just a matter of minutes.'' L said.
Remus knew that L was right. The plan was the safest and they what's done is done but it was his cub! Harry was surly wallowing in self destruction mode as they spoke and they needed to change it. fast.
''What do we do?'' Remus asked in panic. He was not prepared to deal with this but damn him if he gave up!
''I don't know, but what i know is that we need to reassure him. He's confused and doesn't know what to think right now.'' Remus nodded and looked at the door. Any moment now.
As the door handle twisted they both held their breath. Harry by passed the kitchen and went into his room. They heard the door close softly, knowing that Harry wasn't only upset but very fragile at the moment.
Remus went and knocked softly at the door, when he didn't receive an answer he opened up and what met them broke their heart. Harrys was sitting by the window, crying quietly.
''Cub? Can we come in?'' Harry didn't answer. It was like the question had never reached him at all.
Despite not getting an answer they both went in. L was staying in the back just to not seem like a threat.
''Harry.'' L said. He knew he needed to be direct with him. No dilly dallying about what took place. When his loves head turned toward him with a look of betrayal L didn't let him speak.
''I love you. Do not ever doubt that! We both need to get in Lights favour too easily and safely get close to the book so i need him to think that you are giving into his suggestion. I can't play soft hearted with you in front of him if that is to happen. I know i did wrong Harry but have i ever before done things that wasn't in you interest?'' He looked Harry dead in the eye and saw how belief was slowly entering his eyes, but he wasn't done.
''Just like your godfather i want to protect you because i love you. He made a huge and selfish mistake i understand that but he's making an effort now. I too made a mistake by not confiding in you in before hand but that doesn't mean i have any reason giving you up! I love you Harry! I love you and i'd be a fool too give that up.'' L had some much more to say but he was stopped when his sobbing lover threw himself into his embrace and cried.
''Forgive me?'' L mumbled in Harrys soft hair and smiled in relief when Harry nodded. Remus watched the pairs with a smile, knowing that Harry was in good hands even though he still disliked the man to some extent..
Thank you for reading the update! i hope to get some more inspiration for the next chapter in the days to come. Sorry for the long wait though and i'll be sure to update soon.
