A/N: Finally…the end of L and Light's first day together. Don't worry…I won't spend so many chapters on one day after this. There was just a lot to cover.

Disclaimer: I don't L or Light…but I wish I had an L doll. Someone make one for me, please?

After his bath, Light was ready to head to bed. It had been a long, weird day and he was ready to crash. If he was lucky, he would wake up to discover that the talking doll was just a dream. In the meantime, where he would let L sleep? Certainly not on his desk. It was too risky. Someone could see him. And not in the drawer. L would suffocate if he was shut up in a drawer all night. Geez, where was he going to let L sleep? He glanced around the room absently.

"I do not actually sleep every night," L murmured. "If you do not have a place for me, I can forgo sleep for the night."

"Are you reading my mind again?" Light demanded.

"Was mind reading mentioned in the rules?"

"No, but you said there are other rules."

"None of them refer to the ability to read minds. If I could, I would have escaped many unfortunate situations."

Light sighed. "Yeah, if only you knew what your owners would do to you. You could have gotten the hell out of there."

"Yes, but sadly, I could not cause their demise. But the rules never stated that I had to prevent their demise."

"So that means if you saw that they were about to be murdered or they were about to crash their car, you could just keep your mouth shut and let them die?"

"Correct."

"Remind me to stay on your good side."

A tight-lipped smile from L. "You are on my good side…for now."

Light sighed. "And as much as I would like to stay in your good graces, there's really nowhere to put you. Maybe you can sleep under the bed."

"I don't need to sleep," L assured him. "I can do without sleep a couple days a week. When I'm a doll, I don't need to sleep or eat."

"That's a great idea. I'll turn you back into a doll and then I can keep you just about anywhere."

"Will you dress me then?" L inquired. He was once again sitting on Light's textbook, but this time he had a paper towel wrapped around him so he wouldn't get anything wet.

Light sighed. "I guess." He picked up L's tiny pair of boxers and looked at them critically.

L shed the paper towel and stepped into his boxers and pulled them up. Before Light's eyes, L was becoming a doll. His movements were becoming stiffer. Light actually had to help L pull on his pants. L was no help at all when it came to his shirt. L was still breathing and blinking, but other than that, he couldn't move. As Light finished pulling down L's shirt, L's skin had turned to plastic. It was hard to believe that this plastic action figure had been walking and talking and accusing him of being a pervert.

Light shrugged. As a doll, L didn't need air. Light yanked open the drawer, casually tossed L inside, and then crawled into bed.

While getting ready for school the next morning, Light only belatedly remembered the doll. He hurried back upstairs, yanked the drawer open and pulled off all of L's clothes. He was rewarded with seeing the doll's vacant plastic eyes soften and become real. Damn, not a dream after all.

L blinked. "Ah, good morning, Raito-kun." He smiled faintly. The smile quickly faded when L realized his position. He was lying on his back, his legs in the air.

L elegantly arched an eyebrow. "Raito-kun had fun last night?"

"Damn it, I didn't rape you!" Light snarled.

"Raito-kun is rather defensive," L murmured.

"It's just because I know you'll suspect something like that. You always do."

"Unlikely. To rape me, you would have to undress me. But, if Raito-kun did not place me in this position for sexual gratification, it must be that he threw me in here and I landed this way."

"So what? You can't feel pain as a doll, right? What does it matter then?"

"If Raito-kun were to break me as a doll, I would return to human form missing a few limbs, and that would be painful. I have several easily breakable parts, such as fingers and toes. Please take that into consideration."

Light sighed. "Yeah, yeah."

"Light!" Sayu shouted up the stairs. "Hurry or you'll be late for school."

"Aw shit," Light muttered. "Time to put you back in the drawer."

"May I come with you?"

Light looked surprised. "You want to come to school with me? Why?"

"I want to learn about Light-kun. If I can't meet his family, I at least wish to see his school."

"You're not going to be seeing anything. If I take you with me, you'll have to hide in my pocket."

"Very well."

Light gently dropped L into his pocket. He felt the little doll curl into the fetal position as he dashed out the door to get to school

One the way to school, there were relatively few people out and about. Light felt relatively safe talking to the doll in a low voice. L seemed to enjoy the change of scenery, even if he couldn't see a thing. He informed Light that his pocket was comfortable, but lamented that there weren't any crumbs for him to eat. Light was annoyed. Of course there weren't any crumbs. He had put on clean pants.

Light spent a relatively normal day at school. He was careful not to bump into anyone or anything, but he wasn't clumsy anyway so that was easy. The real test came at a moment in between classes. Misa Amane, a girl with a huge crush on him launched herself at Light.

Light quickly dodged her embrace. Misa stared at him in shock.

"Sorry, sunburn," Light explained.

Misa's eyes welled up with sympathy. "Misa would never do anything to hurt Ratio. Misa is so sorry. She didn't know. Misa will make it up to him by getting aloe from the nurse." She raced off.

"Nice save," L murmured.

"Shut up," Light growled.

"By the way, I'm starving."

"Shut up. It's not lunch time yet. I just have a few minutes between classes."

"Pity. I don't know if I can wait that long."

"Okay, fine. I'll get you a snack." Light went to the vending machines and bought a bag of skittles. He popped a handful into his mouth and placed the rest of the bag into his pocket.

L let out a joyful squeal and he immediately seized one of the candies in both hands.

"Hey, keep it down," Light hissed. "We're in public."

"No one's ever been so kind to me," L whispered. "I'm touched."

"I spent a total of fifty cents on you and you're gushing with happiness? Boy, you'd make an awfully cheap date."

"This is a date?" L asked, sounding puzzled.

"No! Stop taking everything so literally. Wait…shhh…she's coming back."

Light plastered a smile on his face, accepted the aloe and excused himself to go to the restroom and put it on. He could almost feel L laughing at him.
