As the peach-golden glow of morning sunrise poured into the room, Light began to stir. He had a throbbing headache, and his back was.. surprisingly not too sore. He was wondering why it had healed to easily after what had happened, then recalled what had happened the night before. L had taken care of him and made sure he was okay; and even though he'd never say it, he was extremely grateful for all L's help.

All I can really remember is L pulling the shards out and then I just felt really tired and that's it; I must have fallen asleep. How embarrassing!

After adjusting to the lighting, Light opened his eyes fully and looked across to the left hand side of the room where L's laptop was. Expecting to see L sitting and typing away like usual, he was surprised when he found no one sitting there, or anywhere in the room. He then looked at the clock.

3:15pm. Shit.

Turning over, Light looked down at the bed and was even more shocked to find L peacefully sleeping, curled up into a sort of ball with his thumb in his mouth, and hair even more messy than usual.

Light smiled to himself, then frowned when he heard his stomach growl loudly.

Guess I mustn't have eaten much yesterday..

Careful not to wake up L, Light got up off of the bed, and begun to change himself into something more comfortable. He took a few minutes, debating on what he should wear, and eventually decided on a turtleneck sweater with tight jeans. Satisfied, he walked into the kitchen and took a look in L's cupboard, disgusted by what he found.

Everything in the cupboard was sweets; there were cake mixes here and there, icing sugar, packets of lollies scattered around the shelves and mountains of lollipops, some small and some as big as his own head.

Doesn't he eat anything substantial?! He's thinner than I am and I don't sit and eat sweets all day, I actually eat food that's good for you. So what in the hell gets him so thin? Mind you I haven't really seen how thin he really is; he wears baggy shirts. So he could be bigger than I think..? Wait, why am I even thinking about this? It's not like I care about his health. No.. I don't, I know I don't.. But if I didn't would I be thinking about it..?

Distracted by his thoughts, Light hadn't noticed L standing at the doorway giving him a peculiar look with his head tilted to the side, a slow smirk starting to form on his chalk-white face.

"Light-kun"

No reply.

"Light-kun"

Again no reply.

Getting frustrated, L called him again

"LIGHT-KUN!"

".. Wha?"

"You were standing there looking at my cupboard and I was calling you but you didn't answer"

"Ahh sorry" Light replied, feeling a heat rush up his cheeks again, as it had been doing a lot in

the last day or so.

".. May I ask, why you are looking at my cupboard like that?"

"It's just you have nothing in there that's even remotely healthy for you"

"You are worried about me Light-kun?" L said innocently.

"Tha- er.. um.. yes.. but no! Don't take it the wrong way! Um yeah so.. erm how did you

sleep?" Light managed to splutter out, feeling extremely awkward about the whole situation.

"I'm perfectly fine and healthy, thank you Light-kun"

"You look so thin though.."

Light couldn't help but be worried; all L did was eat sweets and sit around all day.

Hearing a rustling noise, Light looked up to find L pulling off his usual plain white top, revealing his body from the hips up. Light had to admit, L wasn't as thin as he looked, but he certainly was a smaller build than anyone he'd ever seen; almost like a girl's figure. His eyes racked over L's shoulders and chest, gradually trailing down to his stomach and further lower, and Light gave a shiver as he saw light hairs trailing from L's navel to below the waistband of his pants.

Light continued to look at L for a few more seconds, but was disrupted by a small coughing noise. L looked extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable, and wasn't quite looking Light directly in the eyes.

"See, I'm not that thin"

"Mmm" Light said, not really paying attention to L's voice. Instead his eyes kept raking over L's body, and he felt a tension begin to grow in his abdomen. Noticing how his body was reacting, he knew he had to get out of the room before it got noticeable and before he got out of control. But he couldn't help himself.

"Light-kun.." L said, feeling oddly freaked out by how Light was looking at him. He knew those looks; the time he had spent at college with Light had given him some good inclination of just how attractive Light was to nearly every single girl. Those looks meant something he didn't even want to consider. He looked down further, and suddenly got a panicked feeling rising in him.

Light looked up again, and saw L looking at him with a strange look on his face.

Oh shit.

"What?" Light replied, trying to hide his embarrassment in his voice, but failing miserably.

"Erm.. nothing.. could you make tea?"

"Okay, sure.."

L walked back into the bedroom with his shirt, and walked into the cupboard to pick out something else to wear.

He knew what he was going to do.

It's just a matter of whether or not he had the courage.

After about 20 minutes, L was happy with how his experiment had turned out. He looked in the mirror, and took in what he was wearing. It certainly was a different look for him; and he didn't think he'd ever see the day that he wore tight pants. But this was an exception. He wanted to see what the reaction from Light would be, whether it'd be the same as just before or whether it was disgust. Something like this, L thought, would certainly be a shock. He knew that.

It was just whether it was a good one, or a bad one.

His hair was combed and straightened out, so it fell lightly onto his face; his pants we're tight, leather straight legs, with a casual white shirt, and a black denim jacket. He had put some cream under his eyes and it had faded the black shadows a bit, then he put on a bit of eyeliner and smiled, satisfied with how he looked. He knew this wasn't anything like what he usually wore, but aside from the case, this situation was tempting, and he knew this kind of opportunity to tease Light wouldn't come along very often.

He gathered his courage, and walked into the kitchen. Light was still making tea; he obviously didn't start until a minute or so ago.

Probably thinking about how thin I am. Ha.

Looking up, Light let out a gasp; he couldn't help himself. The sight before him was something he never thought he'd see in his life, and he let his jaw hang open, gaining a smug look from L.

"Is there a problem, Light-kun?" L said, sounding as innocent as always.

"Er.. no.. um.. here's your tea.." Light managed to say, still gaping at the way L looked.

L took the tea, and put it down on the table, turning to give Light a quick smile before sitting down.

Light's heart beat hard and fast in his chest, and he was unable to stop staring at L.

He looks so fucking good..

"Are you coming?"

"Er.. yes, sorry"

Light sat down, and looked into his cup. He was still lost in his thoughts, and he was sure he was sitting in the same position for about 10 minutes, hearing only his own thoughts and the occasional sipping sound coming from where L was sitting opposite him.

After a little while, L began to get frustrated that he was no longer getting Light's attention. Having a sudden idea, L spoke.

"Light-kun?"

Light looked up and shook his head a bit, clearing his thoughts.

"Yes?"

"Did you want to head out somewhere tonight?" L asked, trying to hide his smirk with a serious look.

"Er.. sure. Where did you want to go?"

Light began to feel oddly hot, and the room felt twice as warm as it did before.

"I was thinking maybe we go out to dinner then maybe go to a club or something, what do you think?" L said, then gave Light a small wink.

This is just too much fun!

"Oh.. alright, well I'll go get showered and get changed and we'll head off"

2 hours later

Light and L were walking down the streets, trying to find a nice place to eat. Although Tokyo had a lot of restaurants, it's hard to find a really good one, so it took them a little while to find one they were comfortable in. Once they'd found one though, they sat down and their waitress bought them menus. Light scanned his eyes down the list, and saw they were in a rather expensive restaurant. Everything was pretty far out of his price range, and as if L was expecting this, he said;

"Don't worry Light-kun, I'm paying"

"Oh, are you sure?"

"Well, I was the one who suggested this, wasn't I? So, I'll pay" L said with a smile.

They didn't speak at all until the waitress had come back to take their meal orders.

"What would you like tonight sirs?"

"I'll take the seafood udon, thank you" Light said

"And for you?", the waitress asked.

She has an annoying voice Light thought. It was a bored, flat tone, with absolutely no interest or emotion, and her facial expression was exactly the same. It matched her completely.

"I'll have the large sushi platter, a second seafood udon, a side of Mediterranean salad and also 2 serves of the fried tofu" L replied

"Okay, your meals should be ready shortly."

The waitress walked away, leaving Light in complete shock.

Not one sweet?!

He simply gaped at L, L looking back at him lazily.

"Is there a problem, Light-kun?"

"No, no it's nothing.. but why didn't you order anything sweet?" Light asked, still gaping at L

"Am I not allowed to eat normal food, Light-kun?"

For the second time that night, silence fell over the both of them, neither of them daring to say anything. L had lost his confidence in how this was going; Light was simply scared of him now. Had he gone too far..? The outfit probably would have been enough. But something had pushed him to go even further; and now he was afraid there was no turning back. Sure, L was always eating sweets, but he could stand other food. Western food he particularly enjoyed, with the completely different flavours from here in Japan, but he never really had the opportunity to eat it often as he never went out much.

Tonight he'd been extra wary and kept a small camera on him, so if anything happened to him the camera could be removed and reviewed; and he had also called Watari to be on standby in case himself or Light called. He was thankful though that Watari hadn't asked questions, instead just agreed to keep an ear out in case of a phone call or some form of distress signal from L or Light.

The both of them were interrupted from their thoughts as their food arrived at the table, and they both begun to eat in silence.

"Would you like any of this Light?" L asked

"No, I'm fine, thanks anyway" Light replied, still immersed in his mind.

Feeling a little disappointed, L went back to his food, looking at all the plates that sat infront of him. How in the hell was he supposed to eat this on his own..?

After a while though, a lot of the food that L had ordered was now gone, leaving only some sushi and the salad. The waitress brought their cheque over and they took their leave; heading in the direction they first came.

Maybe L forgot about going out to a club..? Light thought to himself, feeling a little sad. He was looking forward to going out with L, and he wanted to see if L had ever been to clubs before.

But, once they got to the next block, L steered Light around a corner and they both saw a long line of people along the side of the road, near a large black rusted door. Loud thudding noises were coming from inside, and both Light and L got their adrenaline back. They pushed past to the front of the line, and spoke to the bouncer standing at the door.

L had known who he was from when he had been in England the previous year and had met him while they were going to the same school. Of course, he didn't know that L was in fact L; he knew him as Ryuga and had great respect for his intelligence, so he let L and Light in, earning himself a load of shouting and cursing to come his way from the people that had been standing in line, waiting to get in.

As they entered the club, their ears were drowned in loud music and yelling, and they made their way towards the top level of the club where the bar was. L was receiving offers to dance and drinks all the way through the crowd, and Light couldn't help but get angry; for some reason he felt like L was his. He knew this wasn't true but still had that protective instinct, like a mother and its cub. Letting himself believe it was purely that and not jealousy, he followed L as they made their way up the stairs and sat down at the bar.

"What do you want to drink, Light-kun?!" L yelled over the top of the music

"Nothing! I don't drink!" Light lied, not wanting to let L out of his sight. He knew if he drank, he would lose L in the crowd, and more than likely he'd continue getting offers from women and men alike.

"Oh come on! Just one drink!"

"If I drink anything, you gotta stay where I can see you! And stay near me!"

"Why?!"

"Because!"

"Okay! But as long as we have fun, okay?!"

"Sure!"

After a few drinks, they had certainly eased up and they were talking in slight slurs, laughing and rolling around the place, the alcohol hitting them in one go. Suddenly, L stood up and grabbed Light by the hand and led him down onto the dancefloor. Hearing a new fast song come on, L begun to dance, dragging Light into the crowd with him, and suddenly dropping down into a crouching position, putting his hands on his thighs and moving his hands upward, giving Light the absolute chills. Even though Light had had a lot of alcohol already, he still felt fully sober, and given the fact L had just brushed on a very sensitive part of him, he started to feel the same tightness and heat in his abdomen, and blushed, earning himself more and more touching from L.

He knew L was drunk; he could tell by the colour in his cheeks and the way he was dancing. When he first started, it was sort of jolty movements, and he was hesitant in pushing himself up against Light; but now, he was moving his hips quickly but smoothly, and began to push right up against Light, continuing the stroking of his chest and thigs, this time more playfully.

Soon, the friction and heat between them was unbearable and Light had moved away, feeling the effects of L's touching him getting even worse. He knew L had noticed he had gone, and he heard L calling him through the crowd, but Light knew if he went back he'd probably climax just from L dancing up against him and saying how they needed to do this more often.

Light made his way upstairs again, and sat at the bar. He was contemplating what would happen after they left; L was drunk enough to do anything at this point in time. It was only early still, and he didn't think L had any intention of leaving so soon. He decided he should probably go back, and started to walk back down the stairs again, stopping halfway down to get a good look over the crowd. He spotted L and found his heart jolt painfully as he saw L with a blonde girl, dancing with her, then they suddenly both stopped and began kissing and touching.

Knowing this was his cue to leave, he ran down the rest of the stairs and headed through the crowd, trying to make his way to the door. He'd tried to avoid running into L and the blonde, but they were closer to the door than he had thought and he ran right into them, both of them pulling out of the kiss to see what had disturbed them.

"Light-kun come and dance!" L said enthusiastically, grabbing his arm.

"No! I'm leaving!" Light screamed, wrenching his arm out of L's grip. He started to push through the crowds again, finally managing to get to the door. He flung it open and stormed out into the street, fuming with anger and tears running down his face.

Why am I so jealous..? I don't own him..

Back at the club Light had just walked away from them

"I should probably go and find him! I'll see you sometime! Bye!" L shouted over the music, and waved goodbye to the blonde. She waved back and he walked into the crowds, searching for the door.

I think he must have left..

He found the door after a few minutes, and walked out, feeling the cold air hit his face. He looked at his phone and saw it was about 1am.

"He can't have gotten far surely.." He said to himself

He felt fully sober, but he also knew he was drunk. The way he was dancing with that girl and how he'd kissed her.. he wouldn't have done that normally. Walking along the street, he searched and searched, but found no signs of Light.

He searched for a long time, in alley ways and in stores and even other clubs, but found nothing. In the end he decided to go back to the apartment and hoped he'd find Light back there. If not, he'd search for Light more in the morning.

Even though he was worried, he was extremely drowsy and felt as if his whole body would shut down and knew he couldn't go for much longer.

L arrived at the flat and found it unlocked; feeling a huge wave of relief sweep over him.

Light must be home.. thank God..

He scanned the room quickly with his eyes, but no sign of Light. He ran into the bedroom, and found Light sitting on the bed with tears streaming down his face, soft sobbing and sharp intakes of breath coming from Light's shaking body.

"Light.. what's the matter?"

"What the FUCK do you think's the matter?!" Light screamed, taking no notice of the forgotten honorary.

Light knew that there was no noise, so L could've heard him even if he'd whispered it; but he felt the need to scream. It was as if he was letting everything loose and showing L just how much he'd hurt him.

"What? I don't understand"

"Oh right, you were having too much fun with that blonde girl, so of course you wouldn't understand!"

Light was still yelling; and the tears were still running down his face. He couldn't keep it in any longer. Even though he tried to stop crying it just didn't work.

"Light-kun.."

"No! Just leave me alone! Go back to her for all I care!"

Silence fell over them once again, leaving only the sounds of Lights sobs to be heard.

Without warning, L jumped on Light, straddling his hips.

You're in for one hell of a wakeup call, Kira..
