The alternate lines; they ran underneath, completely parallel to the external actions and verbal exchanges

Authors Note: Okay this is a very, very short chapter, not a lot going on either but there you go. It's all stuff that needs to go in. I just thought I'd put up what I'd got so far so ya'll got an update!

Anyways it is a strange thought that this fanfic, so far, has only spanned two daysand this is just the second day. I have L comment on it because I've written so much over a short time frame that it's easy to forget! If I had to estimate I'd say that they'll be about…five or six more chapters before this fanfic is done but it might be much more if some conversations are longer than I anticipate and I thought I'd do a couple of epilogue-style chapters to show how things work out once Light and L's plan had been completed. In any case there's still a distance to go yet.

Please, please, please do review! I love the reviews they motivate me! Thanks to everyone who has already fav'd and reviewed! You are all wonderful, wonderful people!

Agreements

L sat and waited for Light to arrive; Just sat and waited. L never did that. On the whole he was not a patient man and was not used to having to wait for anything. He did not wait for service, he did not wait for communication and he did not wait for individuals. He had developed a life that was devoid of structure and therefore was used to having whatever he wanted when he wanted. He waited for nothing. If he knew that it was impossible to obtain something immediately due to real physical restrictions he would never just sit and wait like this; he would occupy himself, he would use his time. However now he just sat in the smaller conference room watching the cameras waiting for Light to arrive. His eyes watched the still image of the building's entrance that never altered and flicked back and forth from the small line of numbers in the bottom left corner of his screen.

19:46. L chewed his nails impatiently as he waited for those surplus minutes to pass so that his lover might arrive. It seemed strange, he considered, that it had only been twenty four hours since he and Light had confided in each other. Yesterday his lover was still planning to murder him. The human mind could calculate and develop so many ideas and thoughts in such a short period of time.

A low ringing began to tone and a light lit up on the control panel before L. He picked up the receiver before him that was used primarily for the internal communication system.

"Yes Watari?"

"I was just wondering if there was anything you wanted?" The voice on the other end asked kindly.

"No thank you Watari," L replied. There was a short pause on the line and all L heard was the background sounds of Watari assembling electrical equipment. L waited for the older man to finish his current project, holding the line between his two-fingered hold, his eyes fixed on the monitor.

"Are you sure L?" Watari asked over the sound of him slotting two pieces of equipment together, "you haven't eaten as much as usual today." L turned his head to one side and smiled slightly.

"You have a very generous impression of my appetite if you truly think I am lacking Watari but thank you for your concern. I do not require anything." There was another pause.

"Are you sure that you are alright L?"

"Yes Watari," L replied softly, "I'm fine."

"Okay," was the reply, "goodnight L."

"Goodnight Watari," L said and hung up. He turned his eyes back to the monitor. 19:52. He lent forward, staring at the monitor from an unhealthy distance and waited.

It was ten past eight when Light arrived at the building. He found L waiting for him within the hallway. L tilted his head to one side as he regarded the young man before him.

"You're late," he murmured. Light ran his fingers down his hair and then shook his fingers irritably.

"I know," he replied.

"And," L continued running his eyes over Light's figure, "you're wet."

"I know." To be more accurate Light was completely and utterly soaked. His new shirt clung to him, the material outlining his fine figure in a way that was borderline indecent and his coat, which it seamed had not served it's purpose in protecting him from the rain, dripped onto the floor forming a sizable puddle at his feet.

L moved forward, moving his hands to Light's coat helping to relieve him of it's heavy, rain-laiden weight. He hung it up for him while Light knelt down to take off his shoes and then his socks which were also sodden. Then they walked on through the building, side by side in silence, both of them barefoot.

L lead him to a room that Light wasn't familiar with but when he entered Light saw that it was a bedroom. It was a fairly large room but quite sparse. What furniture there was were quite expensive however, dark wood pressed against the walls. There were bookcases on all sides full of books and there were books lying on the floor too and stacked up in piles by the desk and bed. The desk was the largest item in the room and the surface was consumed by a large computer and a great deal of other related technology. There was also stacks of documents, files and pieces of paper.

When Light looked around the room and took all these features in he felt a strange rush of excitement. When he and L had been chained to each other they had stayed in a large and plain room in a different part of the building to this. Light had taken that room to have been one that L had selected for the purpose of Light's stay. This, however, this Light became certain, was L's real room within the building. Light dropped his rucksack to the floor and began to his unbutton his shirt. L pulled out the chair at his desk and sat down to watch his friend. Light began to unpack.

"The top drawer's empty," L said while chewing his fingers, "feel free to put your stuff in there, if you need more space I can find it for you." Light nodded and L sat watching as he put the clothes into the drawer. Once he was done Light sat down on the bed running his hands through his hair distractedly. The room was nice but it had no mirrors and Light wanted to see how the rain had effected his hair.

"Why did you tell my dad that you were in love with me?" He asked abruptly. L tilted his head over the top of the chair, his wide eyes fixed on Light blandly.

"To be entirely accurate I just said that I loved you, not that I was in love with you. It was quite an un-specific statement."

"Yes I know it was," Light retorted anger rising in his voice, "you made sure it was so that it would be me who had to clarify while you had the privilege of speaking freely with none of the consequences."

"You make me sound so manipulative," L replied cooly.

"We agreed this morning that we would attempt to be discreet about our relationship. We agreed this."

"I know," L said carelessly, "I changed my mind. I wanted to get it out of the way." L was relieved that Light was only confronting him on this point. It seamed that Light's father hadn't been too detailed on the conversation. If he had been then Light would know that L had completely and utterly disregarded the agreement, making a clear connection between Kira and his and Light's relationship. There had been around an eighty percent chance that Light's father would not relate the conversation in sufficient detail for Light to realise this. L was relieved that the twenty percent had not been given effect. If it had he knew that Light would be far more irritated with him.

Light sighed and lent back on the bed, his wet hair sprawling on the clean sheets. L got up from the chair and crossed the room to kneel down and lean over Light, pressing his head to Light's damp chest. Light sighed again and threaded his fingers through L's hair. L moved up to kiss Light's neck softly.

"I need you to tell me everything now," he said quietly, "I need you to tell me everything about how you became and operated as Kira. I need to know everything." Light sighed again. The boy's eyes were closed. L Lent forward, pushing himself up by straining his toes, to kiss Light on his cheek, tasting the rainwater on his lips.

"Okay," Light said, "I'll tell you."

Well anyways that's it for now but I'll continue this soon if I can!

Light did walk in the end and it rained so he ended up getting wet.

I wanted to write a bit more about Watari but it didn't fit in here really but I will mention more later. L will talk about his relationship with him to Light when he talks about his past and their plans.

Please review! Thankyous!
