"EVERYTHING TO SAVE"

Chapter 14-

Light looked at the sleeping detective lying next to him. The detective had one of his pale arms slung over the waist of the younger man. He thought about their lovemaking- Light never thought he would let another man take control of him like that, but L had been gentle and had caused exquisite sensations in Light. It hurt a bit but Light liked the pain for some reason. L had his way with him and he knew that this was a victory for the detective.

"It seems you've won, L," Light said softly as he brushed back the detective's unruly bangs.

L's eyes fluttered open at this and he looked at Light sleepily." Good morning, Light-kun. What did I win?." L asked as he snuggled closed to Light.

"You can drop the kun from my name, L. I think we are close enough now for you to drop the formalities,' Light laughed softly, as his hand moved over the soft skin of L's cheek.

"Wait Light, what did I win again?" the detective asked.

"L, shut up. You are smart enough to figure that out on your own." L ight said before moving in to kiss L.

------------

L flopped back against the pillows, sweaty and exhausted. Beside him lay an equally sweaty Light. L was surprised how easily Light accepted the uke postion. He knew Light and Kira were the same so why did the younger man give himself to L so easily. Was this part of Kira's master plan? The detective pushed the thoughts from his mind. As long as he made sure Light kept away from the supernatural notebook, he would remain HIS Light Yagami. The one lying next to him in bed, his lover.

"That was a pleasant way to pass the time," L murmured as he and Light snuggled together in the afterglow of their lovemaking. "Unless you are only using me to gain my confidence and my TRUE name."

Light quickly pushed himself up to a sitting position making sure that the blanket was around his waist. He looked down at L angrily meeting the detective's intense black gaze. "I TOLD you that it goes against my principals to manipulate another person's feelings." Light replied angrily.

"Ah...so then you kissing Misa so intently the other night wasn't an act after all?" L relied, watching as Light struggled to remain cool.

And so began their relationship as lovers…

-------------

It was about a few weeks later when Light contemplated his new lover as he watched him talk with Watari. The detective kept looking around the room nervously, his ebony gaze glancing at Light with an intense look. The auburn-haired man began to think that they were talking about him.

Light rose from the chair he was sitting in to confront Ryuzaki and Watari when he was stopped by Misa Amane, who flung herself into his arms and pushed her breasts against him. It was an act that annoyed Light and definitely did not turn him on..

"Misa, what's with all this clinginess?" Light asked as he gently pushed the blonde model away from him as Ryuzaki and Watari stared over at the two. He saw a strange expression cross over the detective's face as he walked over towards them.

"Light, I haven't seen you in almost a week! I am your girlfriend aren't I? How dare you push me away like that! I thought you'd be happy to see me!" Misa admonished Light.

She turned to face Ryuzaki who had just come over to the pair. She looked up at the detective angrily. "I need more time with my boyfriend, Ryuzaki. Please quit taking up all his free time just to help you out on the Kira cases. If you're really known as 'the world's greatest detective' you shouldn't need ANY help to solve your case." Misa protested, putting her hands on her hips for emphasis.

"I'm pretty sure that Ryuzaki is the world's greatest dick. His talents are supposed to be superior to all," Light said, watching as Ryuzaki's face grow red for a second from his carefully selected words.

"Thanks for the kind comments, Light-kun," the detective said. "But there is much to be done to find out who in the youtsuba group is Kira." Ryuzaki responded his hand coming up to stroke Lights hair absently.

Light felt himself lean into the sudden intimate movement by his lover, then quickly jerked away when he watched Misa slap Ryuzaki across the face.

"What the hell are you doing, Ryuzaki?" Misa demanded as the detective rubbed at his face in shock. Light saw the ebony gaze of his lover turn black and he grabbed Misa by the arm.

"Let go of me, you pervert! How dare you touch Light like that!" She screamed, as Mogi and Matsuda appeared out of nowhere and grabbed each of Misa's arms.

"Please escort Miss Amane back to her floor and make sure she stays in her room for now. If she can't behave then I'll have to keep her secured in a less pleasurable place," Ryuzaki said to the men, as he ignored the screams of the blonde. "Then please inform Watari that I need cake as soon as possible," The detective looked at Light, who shook his head "no"." I need only one plate and fork because Light-kun has declined my offer for cake,"

Light felt relief that Misa was gone, but noticed how on edge that Ryuzaki seemed. It was like he was afraid of Light now that the barriers had been broken between them.

"I'm sorry for removing Misa, Light-kun, but she was getting out-of-hand," Ryuzaki said, as he walked over to Light nervously folding his arms around his stomach,

"Are you alright, Ryuzaki?" Light asked. "You could hold me if you wanted, but I guess now is not a good time? A week ago, you wanted to stay with me in the giant guest bedroom teaching me things about sex I never knew. Those were fun times and we could bring out the handcuffs for old times sake," Light said teasingly. "We could get really wild and maybe tonight you can ride me," the younger man leaned close to L's ear. "Well, how about it?"

L quickly turned away as Light watched his lover turn ghostly pale, his long arms clutched his stomach and the detective leaned against the wall for support.

"What's wrong, Rtyuzaki? Are you okay?" Light asked coming up to embrace the detective, but L slid away as soon as Light put a hand on his shoulder.

"I think that I acted too soon in removing the handcuffs. It may be a good idea to chain ourselves together again, Light-kun." the detective responded tonelessly.

"You're calling me Light-kun instead of Light, you won't touch or look at me AND you want to chain us together again and not for pleasure,' Light said calmly, before grabbing L by the shoulders and trying to keep the tears of anguish and frustration from falling from his eyes. "You think I am Kira again," he cried.

"I've believed that you are Kira from the very beginning and that belief is still true. I believe that Light Yagami is a kind person IF he is not under the beliefs and power of the notebook," L answered, his big eyes staring down into Lights.

You know, I wonder what kind of person you are, Ryuzaki. You think you are so intelligent just because you have solved many cases. Well, if I had the endless supply of money, cake and time, I'm sure I would have solved as many as you have,' Light said, a smirk appearing on his handsome face. "As for our relationship, well, you have some kinky and strange ideas that you want to try out on me. Who taught you these things? And if you think I'm going to take it up the ass every time, then you really are crazy."

The two men looked at each other and those old feelings of hate and distrust came over them again. How could two sworn enemies survive as lovers?

For now, they could not.

Both men dressed in pajamas slept with a chain at each wrist and they both slept with their backs apart.

All L wanted was his beautiful lover never to turn into Kira again. He knew that the shinigami and the notebook must NEVER find their way back to Light.

Light wanted a notebook. Just like the one in his dreams…
