It had taken almost two weeks before Light adjusted to living with L without being chained to him. The sudden moments of affection were also hard to grow accustomed to for both Light, who was on the receiving end of things, and Watari, who was forced to witness these things as an almost daily occurrence. They still hadn't found anything on the case and Soichiro, who still refused to talk or even be around his son, had decided the case was not worth pursuing. With the chief gone the others felt it was a lost cause as well, leaving L on his own to figure out who Kira was with Light's assistance. The boy's entire attitude had changed now that he wasn't under suspicion, and the awkward tension that used to hang between the two was gone. Light's emotions were more open now and L found himself opening up as well.
Light's mother and sister called his cell once every few days ever since Light had gone to collect some of the things he needed from his house: meaning clothes, books, and his laptop. Even now as he sat beside L calmly he looked relaxed. It may have been from his suspicions being lifted but L sensed it was from no longer having to hide from his father either. "I think we have a problem," Light commented, seemingly out of nowhere.
"What do you mean Light?"
"I don't think the two of us can catch Kira on our own," Light said slowly.
"Are you suggesting we give up on this?" L's heart sank. He didn't want to give up on catching Kira just yet. Yet if Light could make a good enough argument then he knew he'd probably cave.
"No," Light said, breaking him out of his thoughts, "I just thought that we could use a little help." He paused to let the statement sink in. "I guess it was a stupid idea." L thought about that suggestion for a few minutes while silence settled over them. It actually wasn't a bad idea. He stood up from his chair, causing Light to look at him curiously. "What's up?"
"I'm going to contact some colleagues of mine and see if they can help," L stated, "In the mean time you may as well take a break. I have a feeling we won't find anything soon." Light nodded and stood, shuffling some papers on the desk and shutting off the computer. L turned and left, heading to Watari's room so he could contact his three apprentices. He was certain they'd be eager to help with the investigation. "Watari," he said as he entered. The elder man looked up from where he was seated at a desk, writing in an old leather notebook.
"What is it L?" He asked, "Is something wrong?"
"No," He replied, stuffing his hands into his pockets, "I wished to contact Matt, Mello, and Near and ask if they will come assist the investigation. Light brought up the point that help will be useful for a case such as this." Watari smiled and stood.
"I will contact them," Watari said, "Go enjoy your evening." L nodded and left, smiling lightly at the thought of his three apprentices being with him after so long. These thoughts stayed with him until he entered their bedroom. Light was in the process of stripping off his button up shirt, which he had taken to wearing rather than the formal clothing he used to wear, and L found himself staring at the light muscles on the teen's back. Light seemed to notice and turned, blinking at L's sudden appearance.
"Did you get a hold of your colleagues?" Light asked as he turned away again.
"Watari wished to contact them," he told Light simply. Light nodded but said nothing more. He finally slid the garment off his arms and went to put it in the laundry, Ls eyes tracking his movements. Light turned back and caught those obsidian eyes watching him.
"L? Is something wrong?" Light asked. L blinked and looked up from his chest to the teen's face.
"Was there a reason you decided to remove your top?" he asked, throat slightly dry. Light raised a single, delicate eyebrow in response.
"Cause its hot in here?" He said, sounding it like a question, "It is natural for guys to take off their shirts you know." He was aware alright. Aware of just how beautifully sculpted the tan teen was. He'd always tried not to stare when they'd been chained together but now he felt no need. He could stare all he wanted.
"Yes, I am aware," he replied, shutting the door behind him. Light had turned away again, stretching his body and causing his back to arch. L watched the muscles shift under the tan planes of skin, desire flooding his eyes. While Light was turned he padded up behind him silently, wrapping his pale, slender arms around the younger male's body. Light jumped at the contact, turning his head to look back at him.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing," L responded as he nuzzled Light's lean back. He pressed his lips against the skin, making Light shudder in response.
"Oh really?" he questioned, "Cause it seems like you're up to something."
"Perhaps I am then," he replied, nipping a shoulder blade, "Maybe I am meaning to seduce you. Think of that?"
"Yes actually. I have." L pulled back so Light could turn to face him. His eyes were glittering, reminding him of the amber orbs he seen before the attack. It was nice to see that color again.
While he was occupied with these thoughts Light leaned forward, capturing L's lips with his. L straightened and immediately Light gave in. He led Light to the bed and pushed him down onto it. The brunette wrapped his arms around L's shoulders, pulling him closer. L ravaged the willing body beneath him, forcing his tongue into Light's mouth. Light moaned softly, tightening his grip on the raven haired detective. When they finally parted to breathe L buried his face in Light's neck. "Light," he started, unable to find anything else to say. There, seated between Light's legs, he felt his control slipping away. He contented himself with placing kisses on Light's neck, occasionally nipping the skin there.
"I'm sorry," Light said suddenly. L pulled back, looking down at him.
"For what?" Light sighed and shut his eyes.
"For giving you such a blatant erection and not taking care of it." L looked down, surprised to see he was indeed hard.
'Odd how I didn't notice.' "It's fine," he replied. Light stared at him, doubt clear on his face. L smiled at him. "Besides I enjoy this much more." He bent his head down again, nipping a little harder at the skin of his collar bone. Light groaned, stretching his head back as L moved to his neck. "May I?"
"Y-Yes," Light sputtered, too caught up to talk straight. L grinned and gently kissed Light's neck before sucking harshly. The teen jerked slightly, face flushing as he shuddered. As L sucked and bit the tan skin he ran a hand down Light's chest, feeling the warm flesh beneath his fingers. He pulled back from the mark he'd created and kissed the willing teen beneath him, still running his hands across the planes of his chest and hoping he wasn't crossing a line.
Apparently he wasn't because Light's own hands slipped underneath his shirt, feeling his own pale skin with gentle fingers. L pulled back enough to pull his shirt off before resuming their kiss. He shivered as Light rested his hands on his hips, digging his fingers gently into the skin. In retaliation L ran his hands back up to Light's chest, finding his nipples and tweaking the sensitive, little nubs. Light moaned, arching into him. 'Shit,' L thought, 'I'm losing control of myself.' He couldn't stop himself as one hand reached down to Light's pants, feeling the steadily growing hardness inside his pants. At the touch Light pulled back eying him warily.
"Ryuuzaki?" he asked softly, not liking the look in L's onyx eyes. L didn't reply. Instead he kissed Light again, more fiercely this time. A sense of dread settled in Light's stomach, especially when that hand slipped inside his pants. He couldn't do this. It was still too soon. The images of his rape flashed through his head and the thought of anyone touching him like this, even L, made him sick. He pushed at L's shoulders, trying in vain to dislodge him. When it didn't help he started to panic, pushing against the detective's chest and trying to pull his head away. L, barely sensing his distress, growled darkly and grabbed on of his hands; his other hand still preoccupied with what it was doing down south. In one last attempt to stop the older man Light pulled his free hand back and slammed it into L's jaw. The detective fell back from the unexpected blow, releasing Light and tumbling off the bed to the floor. When he sat up his sense returned to him upon seeing the look of fear on Light's face.
"Light," he started, voice emotionless despite the self-hatred he was feeling at the moment, "I-," He never waited to hear the rest of his sentence. He simply hopped off the bed and ran from the room. L groaned and stood, going after him. "Wait!" Light didn't even pause as he burst from the suite and started down the stairs. L started after him when a hand grabbed his arm. He looked back into Watari's understanding gaze.
"Let him be," the man said, "Whatever you did upset him but he'll be back. Just give him some time to sort out his thoughts." L nodded, still staring at the open doorway. Watari released him, shut the door, and retreated into the kitchen to make some food. Once he had gone L crouched by the now closed door, dropping his head into his lap and wishing to every deity he could think of despite not believing in them that he could fix this somehow. That somehow he hadn't completely shattered what little bond he and Light had had to begin with.
That was the only thing that mattered at the moment.
I feel so evil. You guys didn't think things would be so simple did you?
Let me know what you guys think. Will L and Light's relationship be broken? Where exactly did Light run off to? and Is there something else on the horizon? You'll just have to wait and see my lovely readers.
Goodbye for now.
