Everything to Save

Chapter 9-

The sunlight gleaming through the window woke L up. He winced as the light shined in his eyes, and shielding his eyes with his hand he slowly sat up. A wave of nausea overcame him and he quickly lay back down, his head pounding with a horrible headache.

After he lay there for a while, he opened his eyes again and looked down at himself. He was still wearing the pants from the suit he had worn on his date with Julian and felt the cuff around his wrist. He looked over and saw Light asleep with his pajamas on and the sheet pulled up to his waist. The teen was facing L.

L studied Light's face as he slept; the teen looked so innocent and almost childlike. It definitely didn't look like the face of a serial killer, but L knew that most killers usually blended into normal society, like Ted Bundy, the B.T.K strangler, and other notorious serial murderers.

However, L knew that the person he was looking at was Light without his Kira side in him. He wondered what was different from this young man from the one he had first befriended, the one that was definitely trying to kill him by trying to gain his real name.

All this thinking only made his head hurt worse and he wondered why he was only dressed in his suit pants. Was he that intoxicated that he couldn't undress himself last night? He had an odd taste in his mouth and his neatly styled hair was messy. He tried to remember the details of last night but it was all a blur to him now.

Feeling another wave of nausea hit him; he turned on his side away from Light and curled into a fetal position, his thumb pressing against his bottom lip. He wouldn't be in this condition that this case was as simple to solve as most of his previous ones. If he weren't so convinced he was going to die by Kira's hand, he would have waited to visit Julian in France after he completed this case and he wouldn't have a hangover right now.

What was it about Light Yagami that made L feel so strongly for the teen? He basically staged his whole date with Julian to make the teen jealous. If perhaps he could make the young man care for him- he'd spare his life when he became Kira again, unless L could stop the teen from turning back into that persona.

OOOoooOOO

Light slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times as he woke up. Immediately he remembered how he let Ryuzaki perform oral sex on him, and how much he enjoyed it. After the act, Light had asked the detective where he had learned to do that, but when the older man had started to answer, Watari interrupted them.

Light had grabbed his pajamas and rushed into the bathroom to clean himself up and dress. He had stayed in the bathroom until Watari had knocked at the door. Light had opened it and faced the old man who was very angry. He wanted to know why it had taken Light so long to return so he and Ryuzaki could be chained together.

Light couldn't tell him the truth- that he was busy being pleasured by his ward, so he lied and told him that Ryuzaki had been so drunk that when he had tried to help the detective undress, the older man had stubbornly insisted that he could undress himself. Light sheepishly told Watari that he decided to use the opportunity to take a quick shower while the detective undressed himself and was just finishing up when the old man had knocked on the door.

Sighting, Watari nodded in understanding much to Light's surprise. As the two men walked back in the bedroom, the auburn-haired teen saw that Ryuzaki had fallen asleep, his wrist already had the cuff around it, and he was still clad only in his suit pants having also refused his guardians help to help him with undressing

"Poor Ryuzaki, he's not used to alcohol. I'm surprised he indulged in it even for Julian's sake," Watari told Light as he held the other end of the cuff out to the teen.

Light obediently held his wrist out as Watari attached the cuff to the teen's wrist once again that connected him to the sleeping detective. As Light slid into the bed next to the older man and he discovered that for once he didn't mind being chained to Ryuzaki as he drifted off to sleep.

OOOoooOOO

Now Light turned and saw that Ryuzaki was on his side, his back to him. The teen looked at the smooth skin of the detectives back and how the curve of his butt looked in his suit pants. His erection quickly growing, he wondered if they would finish what they had started last night…

Light reached out and slowly ran his hand down the soft skin of Ryuzaki's back until he came to the fabric of the detective's pants. Hesitantly, his hand hovered over the older mans body, before the teen boldly ran his fingers over the fabric of his suit pants, stopping to cup Ryuzaki's buttocks.

Light was surprised when Ryuzaki jumped at the contact and turned to look at him with confused eyes. He hadn't realized that the detective was awake and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Light-kun, why did you do that? Do you need something?" Ryuzaki asked in surprise, his big black eyes boring into his.

Light felt embarrassed and angry all at the same time. 'Yes, I need your mouth on me again,' he thought. "Uh no, Ryuzaki, I just wondered if you were awake," the teen replied, inwardly cringing at the flimsy excuse that he knew the detective wouldn't believe.

"Well, if I had been asleep, I'm sure that you groping my buttocks would have woken me up," the detective said, as he put his hand against his temples and began to rub them. "I don't feel well, Light-kun. My head hurts and I feel sick to my stomach. I suppose I drank too much last night which was very careless of me as I need my deductive reasoning to be at it's peak at all times," he replied.

Then he looked over at Light with a slight reddening on his pale face.

"Light-kun, I didn't do anything unbecoming last night, did I?" Ryuzaki asked uneasily.

OOOoooOOO

L watched as a strange look passed over Light's face. "You did many stupid things last night, Ryuzaki," Light responded in an irritable voice. "Don't you remember?"

"I only remember having dinner with Julian, after that everything else is a blur," L said, as he put his hand to his head and winced in pain as he tried to remember more.

Light sat up and turned away from L, pulling on the chain as he did so. "You mean the last thing you remember is being with that curly headed geek?" the teen snapped over his shoulder.

L was surprised at the venom behind Light's words. "Please do not refer to Julian like that; he is not and has never been a 'geek' as you put it," the detective defended his friend.

Light's shoulders slumped as he replied, "I'm sorry, Ryuzaki. I couldn't care less who you date. I was surprised when I realized your date was with a man," the teen lied, as he turned to look curiously at L.

"I was just having a date with an old friend, that's all," L said, as the pounding in his head increased. He didn't want to discuss Julian to Light right now.

"Then why did you go to all the trouble to fix yourself up for a date with an old guy friend? Besides, Ryuzaki I saw the way you two held hands, hugged and kissed each other. It all looked very intimate to me," Light said coolly.

Ryuzaki locked eyes with Light. He would not be intimidated by the teen. "Ah, so then you must have watched the surveillance on me after I instructed you not to. I would raise your Kira percentage, but there's no need for me to, is there?" L responded smoothly.

"And why is that?" Light responded, his voice dangerously low.

"Because you are Kira, of course," L replied simply.

Suddenly Light made a sudden move and L found himself pinned to the bed, the teen on top of him, his fingers digging into the detective's thin shoulders.

"I don't know what kind of sick game you're playing with me, but I'm tired of being accused that I'm Kira. Where is your proof, damnit?" Light snarled, as he continued to hold the older man down.

Light's eyes met L's and the detective thought he saw a look of raw pain in the teen's eyes. "You're driving me crazy, Ryuzaki!" Light cried, and then crushed his lips to the detectives.

L tried to push Light off, but then found himself giving in to the teen's insistent, almost desperate kiss. L opened his mouth as Lights tongue slipped inside to meet L's. Light moaned as their tongues dueled with wild, uncontrollable movements. L could feel his erection building and suddenly grew frightened. His heart and head pounding, he desperately broke for air and pushed Light off him.

"I'm sorry Light-kun. I feel too sick to properly respond to your advances right now and I'm also apologizing for calling you Kira," L said breathlessly, unable to look at the teen.

Light grabbed him by his shoulders again and looked at him with undisguised fury. For a moment, L wondered if the teen was going to punch him.

Instead, the teen's look of fury faded to be replaced by a look of confusion. "Are you sure you don't remember anything else besides having dinner with your friend last night?" Light asked, his tone almost pleading.

L nodded. "I'm sorry, Light-kun, that's all I remember right now. Perhaps once this headache subsides I will remember more," the detective replied apologetically.

Light quickly looked away from L, but not before the detective caught a glimpse of disappointment on the teen's face.

"Please summon Watari, Ryuzaki. I feel the need for a shower because I feel dirty," Light responded coldly, as he climbed out of the bed, then sat on the edge looking away from the detective.

"I need to take a shower too as apparently I didn't take one last night, perhaps it will ease my headache," L replied, as he also got out of the bed and went to summon Watari on the intercom on the wall.

"Wait Ryuzaki!" Light called before L could summon the old man.

"Yes, Light-kun?" the detective asked, wondering what the teen wanted.

"I want to take a shower alone. If you want to shower first that's fine- but I do not want to take a shower chained to you this morning," Light said, his words icy and his gaze at L was even colder.

L sighed. Light was obviously very upset with him. The detective knew he had toyed with the teens emotions. L wondered if he had more in common with Kira than he cared to admit.

"As you wish, Light-kun," L replied.

OOOoooOOO

Light sat in front of the computer studying all the people in Japan who had died of heart attacks that were non- criminals and was beginning to discover a very interesting pattern. He needed to do a bit more research before he shared his results with Ryuzaki.

Mogi yawned next to him. Light was chained to the detective while Ryuzaki took his shower and dressed. Watari had wheeled in a tray of sweets for his ward as Light looked on in surprise.

"Don't you think all that sugar will make him feel even more nauseous?" Light asked the old man.

"No. Knowing Ryuzaki like I do, I think that this is just what he needs," Watari replied.

"Oh well, I know you know what's best for him," Light replied, and then turned back to his research. Mogi flipped through a magazine beside him occasionally yawning loudly in boredom.

Light ignored the large detective and tried to focus on his research. However, the teen couldn't concentrate- all he could think about was Ryuzaki looking sexy with his tamed hair and dark shadows covered with makeup holding him down on the bed and pleasuring him with his warm mouth.

Light had oral sex before with girls he had dated but he never enjoyed it as he had when Ryuzaki had performed it on him. Light had never been aroused by the opposite sex before, but he tried to convince him self that he just hadn't met the right girl. However, the teen knew better and silently confirmed to himself what he had suspected long ago.

Light knew he was gay. He tried to deny it, he tried to ignore his feelings towards the same sex, but now being chained to Ryuzaki and the attention he gave him, he could no longer hide his true feelings.

The way he felt about last night clinched it. But Ryuzaki didn't even remember it! All the detective remembered was being with that curly-headed, four- eyed nerd! He realized that the detective was only interested in Light as a suspect. How dare he use him like he did?

He'd get Ryuzaki back for this.

OOOoooOOO

L walked into the room followed by Watari with the key. As the older man unlocked Mogi from Light, the genius detective stood quietly his ebony eyes watching Light, who didn't look up to acknowledge him. The detective had on his usual attire of baggy jeans, white shirt, and bare feet. His hair- although a bit shorter still stuck up in unruly spikes.

Watari clamped the cuff on the detective and locked him to Light. L sat down in front of his computer as he stared listlessly at the screen. He glanced over at Light who still wouldn't look his way. The two men sat in uncomfortable silence.

Suddenly Matsuda came into the room, babbling like an idiot to Aizawa and Mogi, before turning his attention to Light and Ryuzaki.

"Hey Ryuzaki, I see you've went back to your old look. I think you should reconsider though, especially if you plan a keeping your cute boyfriend interested!" Matsuda suggested as he cupped a hand on the quirky detective's shoulder.

"Yeah, Ryuzaki. We didn't know you were gay! Although I'm not surprised," Mogi interjected.

Light glanced over at Ryuzaki. The detective's face was red and he looked like he wished he could vanish. He felt the teen's eyes on him and immediately turned an even darker hade of red and quickly looked back at the computer screen.

"My personal life is none of your concern. I will not justify such superfluous comments with a reply. I am only interested in catching the two Kira's, that's all that should matter." L replied as emotionlessly as he could.

As a sudden silence descended over the room, the phone rang. Matsuda picked it up. "Hello? Hold on, I'll get him for you!" the young detective said into the receiver.

"Light-kun, it's Misa-Misa, she wants to talk to you!" he replied.

"Tell Misa that Light-kun and I have a lot of resea..." L began but was cut off mid-sentence by Light.

"Tell her that I want to talk to her too! I've missed her," Light told Matsuda as he handed the teen the phone.

"Misa, it's so good to hear your sweet voice. I'd love to see you tonight. I've really missed you these last few days," the teen laid it on sugary-thick, glancing over at Ryuzaki out of the corner of his eye.

L didn't know if it was because of his hangover or because of the sugary- sweet words that Light was speaking to Misa. The detective wasn't used to hearing the teen speak like that to Misa before and wondered if it was an act, except Light had told him it went against his moral code to use Misa that way. Was it possible that he was developing feelings for her? L realized that he found he was jealous of the relationship between Light and Misa although the teen had told him it was all one-sided on Misa's part. L thought about Light holding him down and the passionate kiss they shared before the detective pushed the teen off. Something had happened between them last night, but L just couldn't remember what….

"I'll see you tonight, Misa-love. Yes, I'm sure Ryuzaki will tag along but we'll do our best to ignore him," Light said, as he concluded the call, and handed the phone back to Matsuda.

"Well, at least we knew that Light-kun isn't gay." Mogi replied, looking over at Ryuzaki quickly.

L couldn't stand it anymore. Standing up from the computer, he motioned to Watari. He whispered something in the old man's ear and the man nodded.

He unlocked the chain from Ryuzaki's wrist and motioned Matsuda over. When the young detective walked over to the man, he slipped the cup over his wrist and locked it. Now Light was connected to Matsuda.

Light looked up at Ryuzaki with a questioning stare. "What's up, Ryuzaki?"

"I'm not feeling well. I'm going to get some rest while the rest of you learn some respect towards me. Good luck on your date tonight, Light-kun. Matsuda will join you two, and if I'm up to it- I'll be watching on the surveillance cameras." L said wearily as he walked out of the room.

OOOoooOOO

Light felt sick himself. Here he was stuck with Matsuda and having promised Misa a date. The date wouldn't be any fun without Ryuzaki there. In addition, he felt bad the way the other detective's had made insensitive cracks about Ryuzaki being gay. He wished he could have come to the detective's defense- but he couldn't since he was the chief's son.

This day was not turning out as planned….
