A/N: Yay for reviews! (^_^)

L: I still think Light-kun is up to something.
Light: I am not! :O
L: Oh, and can you get me a piece of cake, Kira-kun? :]
Light: I guess I could...I-I mean, IF I was Kira! XO
L: Yes, thank you...Kira-kun
Light: I'M NOT KIRA!...And, your welcome...
L: Just making sure, Light-kun :3

LET'S GET IT ON! *cough* Ahem, the story I mean.. *cough*

L was asleep, but he wasn't sleeping very peacefully. Infact, he was scrunching up his body into a ball and shaking. He occasionally whimpered until he suddenly woke up shaking and sweating. Light, who was resting on his bed beside L, was awoken by the detectives movements. He sat up and turned his head to look at the detective. What L looked like made Light worry a little. L's face was wet from either tears or sweat. His eyes are kind of pink, so maybe he was crying. His expression showed fear, and his whole body was shaking.

"L, what's wrong?" Light asked, using the detective's name. L just looked at the brunette with his wide panda-eyes.

"I-I think I m-might have just e-escaped a n-nightmare Light-kun," L replied in his usual monotone voice, stuttering a bit. Light could hear a hint of terror in the man's voice.

"Are you gonna be okay?" the brunette asked.

L hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.

"Are you sure?" Light asked one more time.

L looked at the brunette and shook his head as tears fell down his face. Light took this opportunity to pull the frail detective into his arms. L buried his face on Light's shoulder. He silently weeped as Light stroked the detective's back.

"What made you so scared?" Light asked once L had calmed down. L pulled away from Light a little bit so he could reply.

"You were killing me," L said in usual tone. "I saw the crazed look in your eyes...The eyes of Kira perhaps...That's what frightened me the most."

"Well, I assure you I'm not Kira," Light said, reassuringly. "I would never kill you."

"I supppose not," L said. Light pulled L down onto the bed, his arms still wrapped around the detective in a comforting way. Soon, L shut his eyes and fell back asleep. Light followed soon after.

The next day, Light woke up to the sound of sniffling. He looked over towards L and saw that the detective might be crying again. Man, L's cold is determined to break the man.

"Hey L," Light started. "What's wrong?"

"I just *sniff* don't want to be sick anymore," L replied trying to keep his voice calm. "I woke up this morning and I feel terrible."

"Well, it seems like you missed a dose of your cold medicine," Light said as he reached behind L to get the medicine bottle. "Here, take out two of these while I go get you some water to take them with." L nodded as he reached into the bottle.

When Light returned with the glass of water, L was sitting in his usual postion holding the 2 pills.

"Here ya go," Light said, handing L the glass of water. The detective took the glass and took both of the pills.

"There L," Light said, smiling. "In a few minutes, you'll be feeling better."

"If it wasn't for the side effects, I could work in peace," L said with a hint of annoyance. "But, thank you anyways...for everything."

"No problem, L," Light said with a gentle smile.

When they rentered the investigation room, it felt like a normal work day, besides the fact that L could have bursts of emotions at any moment. Light had to be on guard if L decided to explode at someone and repeat yesterday's events.

Well, about an hour has gone by and he hasn't made any sudden outbursts yet. I'll keep watch just incase something is to happen.

Later that day:

"Light-kun," l spoke up after a while.

"Yes, Ryuuzaki?" Light said using one of the detectives many pen names. I really hope he isn't about to-

The brunette's thoughts were interupted by a tug on his sleeve. Light looked down at L.

"Can you help me with this, Light-kun?" L said pointing to himself. Wha-? Is he not feeling well again? But it wasn't too long ago since I gave him medicine....

"What exactly do you need help with?" Light asked.

L stood up and put his mouth near Light's ear. "I don't feel very good,"

"In what way do you not feel good?" Light whispered back.

"I feel tired, the nausea is setting in again, and," L said. "And, I think I amd seeing things..."

"Well, I can cure fatigue, supress the nausea, but," Light said. "I don't get it, what do you mean by "seeing things"? You mean, halucinations?"

L nodded and they both excused themselves from the investigation room. They went up to their room to continue the rest of the conversation.

"Well, what exactly are you seeing?" Light asked.

"Right now, you are Light-kun," L said in his usual tone. "Before I told you I was halucinating, you were still Light-kun, only this time, you weren't."

"Okay," Light began. "I have no clue what you're talking about!"

L went poutey-faced on the brunette, "Let me explain! *Huff!* Okay, so technically, you looked like Light-kun, but I had this strange feeling that the halucination you was...Kira."

"Well, I guess that makes a little more sense, but just so you know," Light said to the hormonally imabalanced detective. "I. AM. NOT. KIRA!"

L just looked at Light strangely. Ah! Did I just upset L? I really hope I didn't!

"L, I'm sorry if I upset you," Light said apologetically. I'll make sure to get him a piece of strawberry cake later...With extra icing and whipped cream! And lots of strawb-

"K-Kira..." L shuddered. His eyes were wide and the black orbs were filled with terror. Eh? Oh, it must be another halucination.

"GET AWAY FROM LIGHT-KUN AND ME!" L screamed, his voice cracked as he did so. Tears fell down his face and Light just froze. I have to get L to snap out of this! But how...? I don't want to hurt him, so a slap in the face might be bad. Crap!

Light put his hands on the shaking detectives shoulders, and was about to say something. Before he could actually say a word, L shrugged off Light's hands and then slapped him hard. Light fell to his knees. Well...That didn't work. What else?

"Don't...touch...me...Kira," L said. His voice changed into anger. But, Light knew he was terrified on the inside.

Light just did the only other thing he knew how to do. He quickly forced L into a hug. L squirmed and kicked Light's shins a few times, but the brunette was stronger than the detective. L soon calmed down a bit, and that's when Light pulled back a little, his hands still on L's shoulders. He looked into the detecyive's eyes to see that he wasn't scared anymore. Light let go of the man's shoulders. L fell to the floor and looked up at Light, tears running down his face. Light crouched down next to L.

"L-Light-kun.." L said as he he cried. " I-"

"Don't worry about it," Light comforted the sobbing L. "But, you did worry me. Other than that it's fine, L. "

Light scooted in front of L and wrapped his arms around the whimpering detective. L rested his forehead against Light's shoulder and let every tear fall onto Light. I'll be sure to get him that piece of strawberry cake with extra strawberries and whipped cream. For all he's going through, he at least deserves something nice.

After the breakdown, Light helped L up from the carpeted floor of their bedroom. "I have a surprise for you!" Light smiling as he pulled L along towards the kitchen on their floor.
