"I guess we should get going," Light said to Matt and Mello as he stood up from where he was sitting. He was actually having fun with the group of males. He thought something must've been going on his head. Light gave both Matt and Mello hugs before he walked over to L who was still sitting in the chair by Matt's hospital bed. "Is that alright, Ryuzaki?"

L nodded getting up. "Good night Matt, Mello." L made a slight bow and started towards the door. "Oh, and Mello try to act like somebody while I'm gone."

Mello smirked at him, "Don't count on it."

L rolled his eyes, "Of course."

Light and L left after that and walked out of the hospital. "The moon looks so big tonight," Light muttered. There was a full moon out tonight. It shined brightly over his cheeks and highlighted every feature about him.

L looked at the sky, "It is unusually close…"

Light looked at L, "You don't think that could mean something, do you?"

L arched one of his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"N-never mind," Light muttered shaking his head. They continued to walk home in silence. "It's late," Light analyzed.

L nodded.

Light looked at his watch, "It's almost midnight."

L's heart leapt when he saw the watch. After all, he had given it to him. It was nice to see him actually use it instead of trying to burn it or something.

"Uh… L," Light muttered, "Me and Mello were talking today…"

"Oh really? What about?" L wasn't really interested, but he never remembered Light and Mello leaving to go talk to each other.

"Uh—L, w-what are your feelings are your feelings about me?"

L tilted his head slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Would… you die for me?"

L stopped and looked at the sky, "…Possibly. I'm not sure. Maybe. Why?"

"It was something Mello said," Light said shaking his head.

L shrugged, "I'm happy you and him are starting to get along better." Even though it's different with me… L started walking again.

"Uh… L" Light voice squeaked slightly which made L's ears perk up as he turned to face Light. Light cleared his throat, "I wanted to say I'm… sorry… about this afternoon…"

"That's nothing to apologize for, Light. I was simply being too hasty in my actions."

"No… I mean, I don't really know what I'm doing. This really isn't easy for me."

"I think I understand..." L sighed.

"I-I've never really had feelings like this towards people and I don't really know how to say it and not come across as a complete moron."

"Oh, believe me Light, the last thing you are is a moron." At times, L thought in the back of his mind.

Light gave him sort of a half smile, "I guess you could say I'm being torn apart… I… feel like part of me is accepting this and the other part is in denial."

"Are you being split diagonally or vertically or horizontally?" L muttered with wide eyes as he bit down on his thumb.

"L, this is hardly the time to be making jokes."

"Light, I'm being quite serious," L tilted his head to the side.

"I guess you could say vertically… but that's beside the point! I'm confused… I'm—"

"I already know that Light. Why else would you be telling me this?" L looked up at the moon, "You and Kira are battling things out, right? I already knew that…"

"L, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I mean we're both guys. We've both tried to kill each other in the past. We have different tastes, different backgrounds, different interests…"

"Yes, but we both want justice and peace in the world, we both will stop at nothing to get what we want, we are both childish and hate to lose. You can't base everything on differences."

"That's true… L, I still don't know how I'm feeling about this, but… I'm willing to go along with it. At least until I've made up my mind."

"So you mean I'm an experiment for you…"

"No! I mean… That's not what I meant. I don't want this to be like an experiment. I want to see if this is worth getting into."

L sighed, "But you'll be experimenting with me until you find your result."

"But…"

"Don't worry… it's okay…" L lied turning and walking ahead, "We should go home."

Light gulped as he ran to catch up with L. He was literally beating himself up inside his head. What kind of a person doesn't know how they feel about someone? What's worse, what kind of person tells that someone they want to… experiment with it? Light was silently cursing L for agreeing to it, but he mainly blamed himself. He felt terrible.

Light and L ran into the cabin-like house. Light rubbed his hands together and breathed on them so he could get warm. "It's freezing out there!" Light's face had gotten pale and his cheeks and nose were pink. L physically remained the same, which unnerved Light.

"Are you alright," L asked feeling Light's cheeks after closing the door. "You are cold… I'll make you some tea."

Light nodded and took a seat on the couch while L went into the kitchen. Light felt like an idiot for not saying anything to L about earlier. He felt terrible, like he was lying to L in some way. It wouldn't have been the first time… but part of him wanted to find out if this really was… real. If he really had feelings for L. He sighed when L appeared before him with one cup of tea.

"No sugar just the way you like it," L said putting the cup in Light's hands. L sat beside L afterwards.

"Thank you," Light said blowing off his tea. He drank for a few moments. "Aren't you going to have some?"

"I'm not thirsty…"

Then he resumed. It wasn't until he drank all of his tea, which took about ten minutes, before he spoke again. "Uh… about this afternoon—"

"It's fine, Light," L sighed rolling his eyes.

"And what I said before… I don't want this to be like some kind of experiment. That would be too cruel and I don't want to do that to you."

"Light, I already told you it is fine. I never said anything against your decision so just drop it." L wasn't exactly annoyed. However, he wasn't exactly enjoying himself either.

"But this is important."

L leaned closer to Light and kissed his cheek, "I know." L knew that would at least get Light off the subject of experimenting and apologizing. "You don't have to repeat yourself. I'm right here, Light."

Light gulped blushing wildly, "Uh… L-Ryuzaki…" Light muttered scooting back in his seat.

"What is it?" L asked tilting his head to the side he looked almost like a concerned kitten or puppy. Light couldn't distinguish between the two.

"W-What are you doing?"

"Well it's hard to be in a relationship without some physical interaction," L said looking slyly up at Light. "Do you think it's time I showed you?" Light gulped as L moved closer to him. He pushed Light down so he was lying on the couch. He stretched across Light so that their bodies were touching. "Don't you think this is better?" L muttered nibbling one of Light's ears.

Light shivered slightly, but let L continue. His heart was pounding fast. He felt like it would rip out of his chest. L looked at Light curiously to see what Light's response would be. He couldn't exactly just leave the detective waiting so Light followed L's lead. He kissed along L's jaw line soft and nervously. L took that as a good sign and started to kiss Light. He moved his tongue inside Light's mouth without requesting entrance. He'd been waiting for this for a long time.

Light was actually surprised. This wasn't that different from kissing a girl. Yeah they'd kissed before, but Light wasn't really paying much attention to the likeness. He hated being treated like the girl, but he would endure it… tonight. It wasn't like he wouldn't fight back once in a while. He responsively gripped the back of L's shirt and he finally realized he'd been bucking into L when the detective moaned loudly and pulled away from their kiss.

What had gotten in him? He'd never been like this when L had attacked him before, so what made this any different? Light didn't think about it long because they started kissing again, but it was rougher this time. L started unbuttoning Light's shirt and feeling the skin he'd soiled many times.

L was surprised by how much he'd wanted this. He wasn't a beggar. The only thing he'd ever wanted more of was sugar, but Light seemed to replace that. Light gasped for air after a few moments of L brushing against his skin. L adored that sound and kissed Light's neck in place of his mouth, which only made Light cry out even more.

Light didn't understand what he was feeling, but at the moment he really didn't care. He just wanted everything to stay like this. With L. Just like this in pure bliss. Light tugged on L's shirt which he soon was able to pull off by himself. Light's hands darted out feeling every area on the detective's chest. It was all new to him. Like mapping out a new building or piece of land. Then something happened that made both of them stop.

Light's hands had trailed down to L's stomach and his fingers entwined around something familiar. A leather bound notebook. L looked down at his stomach and saw the notebook. He'd forgotten that he'd put it there. Light's eyes sparkled brightly at the soft, nostalgic longing that was now in his trembling hands.

DEATH NOTE

Light was lost in his thoughts when L grabbed the notebook from Light. He scowled at the hellish reality he was in all because of the stupid notebook. His eyes softened when he looked at Light. Light had fear, longing, hatred, curiosity and love written all over his face. L shook his head in disgust and left the room. He wandered up to Light's parent's room (A.K.A. his room) and locked the door behind him. He threw the Death Note across the room before he sank to his knees with clenched fists.

"Damn it," L and Light muttered into the night…

This took longer than expected too... stupid school! Why can't we bring laptops to school so I can just type between notes? I know this one's short, but it was originally supposed to be ten times shorter! So...

What did you think? I liked this chapter. now all that's lefted to do is fix the whole L & Light relationship and then... the Death Note... O.O lolz Thank you for reading so far! I'll try to post soon! stupid school... Please review ;)
