Chapter 8

After getting back to their room the first thing L did was kick off his shoes as usual and then look for the delivery from the Tea Caddy which had been placed on their dining table.

Light sat down in one of the chairs and watched in amusement as L emptied the several bags, sampling almost as many as he was putting away in the cabinets.

"If you don't stop sampling you're not going to have any left to eat later," Light told him as L stuffed another strawberry cookie into his mouth.

"Ridiculous I have at least twelve boxes of these alone," L reminded him and Light laughed.

"How could I forget, I carried them all to the counter," he said and L huffed at him as he pulled a chocolate bar from the bag and sat in Light's lap.

"You've never indulged in the joys of British sweets," L told him as he unwrapped the bar, "So you simply cannot understand." Light reached up and grabbed the hand holding the chocolate, brought the candy towards his mouth and took a small bite before L could snatch it back.

"It is good," he said as he savored the chocolate, "But I can only take it in small amounts." He then laughed as he looked at L's face as he stared at the bite mark in his chocolate.

"You are lucky I do not demand it back," he warned and Light raised an eyebrow.

"Really? You would deny me a small morsel of chocolate?" he asked and L let out an exaggerated sigh.

"You know what my sweets mean to me Light Yagami, stealing my chocolate could be a deal breaker," he said and as if in answer to a challenge Light grabbed his hand again and this time took a huge bite out of the chocolate. L immediately locked his mouth against Light's, his tongue entering his mouth searching for the stolen chocolate as Light tried not to laugh.

It took very little time for the kiss to retrieve his chocolate to turn into more as L put what was left of his chocolate on the table and used both hands to hold Light's face and continued to plunder his mouth. The stolen chocolate melting with the heat of their mouths, coating their tongues as they danced around each other, heightening L's excitement and eliciting moans from both of them.

When L finally released Light they both gasped for air. L then reached down and pulled Light's shirt over his head, then picked up what was left of his candy bar and began to crumble pieces along Light's chest, then leaned forward and began to lick them off slowly.

"L you 're going to get chocolate on my pants," Light warned in between soft moans as the detective's warm tongue made it's way along his chest.

"Then take them off," L suggested getting off his lap and reaching for Light's belt to do just that. Light reached down and moved L's hands.

"I'll do it your fingers are all covered in chocolate," Light told him and L rolled his eyes and allowed him to do it himself as he continued to drag his tongue along Light's chest.

Light stood up and removed his pants and boxers after kicking off his shoes barely making it in time as L pushed him towards the middle of the room, forcing him down onto the plush carpet on the floor. Light reached up and removed L's shirt, his hands then finding their way into the wild hair and pulling him forward for another kiss. He then reached for L's jeans, pulling them and his boxers down in one pull and tossing them aside.

L again began shredding chocolate and sprinkling it along Light's body this time going past his navel and along his rapidly hardening cock. L began to lick around his navel, scooping up every bit of the shredded chocolate and then began to trail his tongue along his member. Light moaned again as he watched L lick and suck him and then take him deeply into his throat, making his head fall back against the carpet, his eyes closing in pure ecstasy.

L sucked off all the chocolate and then took Light out of his mouth long enough to shred the last of the chocolate bar on him again and took him back into his mouth, moaning himself at the combination of chocolate and Light. He held him in his warm mouth long enough to let the chocolate begin to melt and then began to suck earnestly, enjoying the sounds he was getting from his partner.

Light began to thrust into the intense warmth of the mouth that engulfed him, reaching down and once again grabbing handfuls of the soft dark hair, as L moaned around him, the vibrations driving him wild.

"L…stop…not this way…" he managed to call out and L let him fall from his mouth in surprise. Light sat up and pulled L to him, plunging his tongue into his mouth for a moment before pushing him back against the floor. He kissed down his chest and stroked him at the same time.

"I need to be inside you," he whispered as he came back to L's mouth kissing him deeply, "I love you," he added as he lifted L's legs over his shoulders. He put three fingers on L's lips knowing L would know exactly what to do. The detective opened his mouth and sucked them in, licking and sucking on them all, the sensation sending shivers up Light's spine. Once he felt they were ready he slowly inserted one finger into him, not wanting to stop for lube but not wanting to hurt him either. L groaned and pushed down on his finger as Light began to move it in and out. As he began to add the second L grabbed his face.

"Now!" he demanded and Light removed his fingers and after using his natural lubrication he positioned himself to enter him slowly. They both cried out as he did, L wanting it as desperately as Light did, pushing himself against him and forcing him inside faster.

Light took only a moment before he began to thrust slowly into L, with L matching each thrust almost greedily, demanding more. Light happily obliged pushing himself as deeply into L as he could, hitting his prostate on the first try making L cry out again, holding the young detective against him as they moved together, their rhythm strong and almost desperate. Light reached between them and grasped L's cock, stroking him with the same rhythm as his thrusts into him, making L cry out his name over and over, the lights he was seeing behind his closed eyes rivaling those of the fireworks he'd seen earlier.

He opened his eyes to see the moon over the balcony and directly over Light's shoulder, bathing the entire room in it's soft glow, glistening off of the sweat on his lover's body, making him look even more beautiful to him. He grabbed Light's face again, moving the dampened hair from his face so he could see his eyes. There was no Kira, no mocking sneer, no hate filled eyes. Everything Light was doing for him was far more than any calculating Kira would ever do, no matter what he wanted from it. There was nothing but his Light, his face colored in passion that was reflected in his eyes, passion for him. He closed his eyes again and completely let go of any fear, any worry that he was feeling, and gave himself completely over to Light and every bit of ecstasy that was coursing through his veins.

Light could feel the change in L's body when he saw him close his eyes again and let his hands fall from his face. It was as if every muscle in his body suddenly relaxed, only to fire up again as he got closer to his climax. Light could feel his own release pulsing through him and he slowed down.

"L…look at me L and tell me what you see!" he commanded and L's eyes opened and he felt as if he were going to fall into them as they stared through him.

"I see you Light, I only see you," he whispered and Light nearly wept with joy. He began to thrust in earnest again, pushing both of them to and over the edge, crying out each other's names as they did. Light fell forward onto L who wrapped his arms around him and held him tightly as their bodies rode the wave of their combined orgasms.

After a few minutes Light raised himself on his elbows and looked down at L who was smiling up at him. He leaned down and kissed him tenderly before rolling over onto his side.

L rolled onto his side to face him, his fingers trailing a bead of sweat as it ran down Light's chest.

"I was telling the truth," he said quietly, "I only saw you and I still only see you." He said and Light nodded.

"I know because you would never lie to me, especially about something this important," he answered and L nodded.

"I believe all of your nurturing and our talk is helping me turn a corner," he said and this time it was Light's turn to nod.

"You don't know how happy I am to hear that," he said and looked seriously at L, "But I also know it's not over, we still have work to do."

"I don't know Light, I think I am feeling as if everything is back to normal," L said and Light shook his head and reached out to touch his neck. L pulled away quickly, his eyes wide and holding his breath. Light sighed and pulled his hand away.

"Not quite yet, but it is better," he said reaching out to the now saddened detective who had turned away from him, "You can't expect it to go away after just a few days," he said as he gathered L into his arms, "But we can be glad that we've made progress, that's all I'm asking for right now." L nodded slowly as he buried his head into Light's neck, hiding his disappointment. Light held him for a few moments more and then kissed his forehead.

"Come on, let's get cleaned up and climb into bed. I'm sure there's a Disney movie on one of the channels and you can understand what's going on around here." L's mood instantly brightened as he looked up at Light.

"Good, I wish to see exactly why everyone behaves as they do when they see these characters," he said and stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Light got up and watched him as he walked away, his back bowed in his familiar stoop, but he seemed to be walking a little lighter. He smiled and got up himself following behind him.

After their shower and making sure L was settled he ordered a pot of tea from room service and while waiting for it to arrive he went into the kitchen and prepared a snack plate for L of some of the biscuits and cookies he had purchased and brought it into him delighting in the smile he received when he placed it in front of him.

"I think tomorrow I'll find out from the Concierge where the nearest market is and pick up a few things to have around here," he said as L prepared his tea.

"Can you not just call and have them deliver it?" he asked and Light shook his head.

"There are some things I'd rather do myself. You like melons for breakfast and I can't trust anyone else to pick the right kind, or to make sure it's ripe enough," he said and L frowned.

"Is it alright if I stay here? You always get so cranky when we go shopping," he said and Light frowned at him.

"That's only because you get so childish when we go shopping!" he snapped and L ignored him.

"I would still rather stay here and wait for your return, whatever the reason for your ill temper," Light sighed and nodded as he grabbed the remote for the wall mounted TV and turned it on.

"Fine, that would probably be best and it shouldn't take me too long," he said.

"I'll spend the time checking with the boys and Watari, making sure everything is going smoothly," he added.

"Good, that will keep you occupied so I don't have to worry about what I might find you into when I return," L huffed at him as he flipped stations.

"I am not a child I do not need to be kept occupied," he said and Light turned to say something and decided better of it at the moment. He stopped flipping stations when he ran across what appeared to be "Snow White" starting up.

"Here is a good one, L. I haven't seen it since I was a child, but this is Disney's first film." L looked as it began and nodded.

"Yes, and if I remember it was the first feature length animated film," he said and Light nodded.

"Good, you do know something about Disney," he said and L glared at him.

"I never said I was not aware of what Disney is or what they've done, only that I have never had the opportunity to actually sit and watch one. I am L, it is my business to know." He said and Light rolled his eyes.

"Just be quiet and watch it," he said, "And try to pretend you're a child, look at it innocently and don't try to tear it apart logically," he added.

"So many rules to watch a child's movie," L complained shoving a biscuit into his mouth and Light laughed.

"Okay, I'm sorry you're right. I just want you to enjoy it and not over think it." He apologized and L smiled at him.

"Fine, I shall look at it with the eyes of a child," he said and leaned over to kiss Light, who backed away from him, then reached over and brushed the crumbs from his mouth.

"Okay, now you can kiss me," he said and leaned forward to do so and this time it was L who moved away.

"I no longer wish to," he said and turned towards the television. Light reached over and grabbed his face and kissed him anyway which ended with both of them laughing. They then leaned back against the back of the bed, L's head lying on Light's shoulder and began to watch the movie.

Halfway through the movie, L had sat up and was sitting in his familiar position, his thumb at his mouth, obviously enthralled by the movie. By the time the wicked queen began her transformation, L's eyes had widened and he turned to Light.

"This is for children? I think this is quite alarming!" he said as the queen grasped her throat, black hair turning to gray, beautiful hands becoming arthritic and gnarled.

"Sometimes kids like a good scare, they enjoy it," Light answered and L cocked his head to one side as if trying to understand that. He shrugged and continued to watch, not saying anything else until the end.

"Well, what did you think?" Light asked him as L scooted back to where Light was sitting.

"I believe it was quite entertaining although incredibly violent. The old hag…not only did she fall to her death from the cliff, just to make sure that large rock she was trying to push onto the dwarves falls on top of her AND you know those vultures were swooping down slowly to make sure she was dead before they made dinner out of what was left. I still find it hard to believe it was meant for children!"

"Have you ever read the original fairy tales? They're far more violent than this was," Light defended and L nodded.

"Yes, I do recall Watari reading them to me as a child, and I agree," he stopped a moment and faced Light, a smirk on his face, "I also understand where you get your romantic notions from." He added and Light feigned hurt.

"You don't find my romantic ideas…well…romantic my boy lollipop?" L nearly choked on his tea.

"Did I not make it clear that I did not wish to hear that particular….phrase again?" he nearly growled at Light who could barely hear him over his own laughter.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry!" he said when the fierce stare he was getting threatened to burn the sheets, "I couldn't resist!" he added and L huffed at him and turned his back on him sliding down under the blankets.

"On that ridiculous note I am going to sleep Light Yagami!" he nearly spat at him causing Light to have to hide another bout of laughter lest he should receive the terrible stare again. He reached up and turned off the light and then leaned over L's ear.

"You know you love me," he whispered and L waved his hand at him as if he were trying to swat an annoying bug, his naturally upturned nose going even higher into the air.

"Don't make me regret my decision," he told him and Light answered him by turning his head to face him, kissing him deeply.

"Now you can go to sleep," he told him as he settled under the blankets himself. Within a few moments L had moved into his favorite position, his head on Light's chest. Light wrapped his arms around him and closed his eyes
