A/N: Haha, L and Light are back. L's such a tricky little devil. He runs circles around Light and then has Light wrapped around his finger. Don't ask me how that works. But anyway, there's still hopefully some cuteness later, but L is going to be full-sized mostly now. And that means…L gets to try to seduce Light some more. Yay!
Disclaimer: I don't own…very sadly, I do not.
Light allowed L to grow to his full size once they were safely back in Light's bedroom. He glared at L. "Now, what the hell is all the killing business?"
L smiled as he perched on the edge of Light's bed and folded his legs under him. "Raito-kun is angry with me."
"You better believe I am. You want me to kill people!"
"Yes, I do." L lounged across Light's bed and lowered his eyelids. "I want very much for you to begin killing," he purred.
Light scowled. "Would you cut that out? We're talking about killing and you're still trying to seduce me."
L raised one eyebrow. "Oh yes? Is it working?"
"No," Light growled. "Put some clothes on."
L glanced at the tiny set of doll clothes that were still sitting on Light's desk. "I would rather not do that. I would be unable to talk to you if I did so."
Light let out an exasperated sigh. "Can't you wear some of my clothes?"
L brightened. "I get to wear Raito-kun's undergarments? How exciting."
"You know what? Never mind. Just cover yourself up. I hate how you're always trying to give me an eyeful of ass. It's fucking disgusting. Do you seriously think that lying around naked all the time will make me tempted?"
L shrugged. "If it works, I will not argue. I am just trying to get Raito-kun to accept me."
"Accept you as what?" Light's voice was dangerously calm.
"Your partner," L said simply.
"Lover, you mean," Light spat.
"Not necessarily. That would be an excellent way for us to become partners, but it is not the only way."
'What?" Light was taken aback. "Isn't that your goal though? To get me to have sex with you and fall in love?"
"To be honest, Raito-kun, I am sure there are other ways than through sexual intercourse. All we need is to form an irrevocable bond. Sex seems like an easy way to go about it. Perhaps it will be more enjoyable when I am with someone who is not a pervert."
Light sighed. 'You're an idiot, you know? Just because I have sex with you doesn't mean I'll automatically fall in love with you. I might not enjoy it either."
'Why would you not enjoy it? There is not pain involved in it for you."
"That's not the point. Just because it doesn't hurt doesn't mean I'll like it."
L blinked in confusion. "Don't people normally enjoy sex? It seems like a completely voluntary activity."
"I mean…yeah…well…it's complicated, okay? And anyway, you're as likely to enjoy it as I am, right?"
L blinked at him. 'I suppose. It takes two people for this sort of activity. However, I haven't enjoyed sex so far. It has been quite painful actually. I don't know how anyone could possibly find pleasure when thee is so much pain associated with it."
"That's because you were raped, idiot. If it's voluntary, it won't hurt so badly." He shook his head. "After being raped so many times, you really want to try sex again, huh? Well, I can't promise you anything. I may make you miserable. All I can tell you is that it should hurt a lot less if you don't have coat hangers and weird shit stuck up your ass."
L's jaw dropped. "It sounds as if Raito-kun is consenting to have sex with me."
"N-no, that's not what I meant!' Light said hastily.
L frowned at him. His eyes hardened into two black marbles. "Yes, Raito-kun. It's exactly what you meant. You just did not mean to say it aloud. Do not even attempt to pass it off as a hypothetical situation.'
Light sighed. "That's not what I meant either. I mean…yes, since you're always flaunting your body, I do find you attractive. I just don't know if I'm ready for this "irrevocable bonding' shit. I'm sure you're not a bad guy, but that just gives me the creeps. I'm not ready to be bound to anyone for life yet."
"Raito-kun shares my belief that the person you willingly lose your virginity to will share a very complex bond with you?"
'Well…yeah. The person you lose your virginity to ends up really important to you."
"I am important," L said indignantly.
"I know, I know. But what if as soon as I have sex with you, I end up falling in love? And once you've got someone in love with you, you disappear, right? That would be fucked up. I'm too young to grieve over a lost love."
L sighed. "I won't disappear. You haven't even helped me kill anyone yet."
"Kill someone?!"
L rolled his eyes. "Raito-kun has truly forgotten? He must have been distracted by my nudity."
Light glared at him. 'Explain yourself. Now."
L cocked his head to one side and frowned. "It would be far easier to show you. Do you have a pen?"
Light blinked. "Umm…sure." He handed L a ballpoint pen.
L smiled and began scrawling a message on his left pal. Ls handwriting was spidery and a little messy, but Light could clearly read, "I belong to Light Yagami."
Light frowned. 'Why the hell would you write that on yourself?"
"Just watch," L murmured, pointing down at his palm.
Before Light's astonished eyes, L's handwriting began to fade. Soon, there was no indication that anything had ever been written in the space. "Well…that's a nice trick," Light finally muttered.
L smiled. "Now you try." He held the pen out to Light.
Light hesitantly reached for the pen. "What should I write?"
L's eyes slid shut with a blissful smiled. "A command."
Light held onto L's wrist with one hand and slowly began writing on L's palm. 'You will put some clothes on and quit lying around naked all the time," he wrote.
"Okay, I finished. Now what? Do you have to stare at it to make it go away?"
"No, Raito-kun. I do not need to see it. Just watch."
Light stared at L's palm as the words slowly faded away.
L's eyes snapped open and he grinned broadly. "I welcome your instructions, master. If you will provide me with a pair of your clothes, I shall be happy to comply."
Light's jaw dropped. "H-how…what the hell? I didn't show you. How the hell did you know what I wrote?"
"it does not matter if I see them or not. I will become aware of whatever you choose to write as soon as the words vanish. They are absorbed into my body and I see them in my mind's eye."
Light made a face. "Doesn't all that ink under your skin build up to toxic levels?"
L blinked at him. "I am already dead. What do I care for ink poisoning?"
"But if I do it to you then-oh, never mind. I guess this is another of your strange abilities. If I write anything on your hand, you have to do it?"
L shrugged. "You do not have to write solely on my palm. You may write anywhere on my body that you wish."
"But you have to obey it?"
L dipped his head. "If I am able, of course."
"God, you should have told me sooner. It would have saved us a lot of trouble trying to get you to do stuff."
L shook his head. "I did not count you as my true master earlier. Even if you were aware of the rule, I would not be bound to obey you. But we are now in a partnership. I would like to begin by complying with your first instruction. However, Raito-kun has not provided me any clothes. Perhaps you would like to offer me the shirt off your back?"
Unbidden, Light's mind conjured up images of L lovingly unbuttoning his shirt. "Uh, n-no-no. You can get something out of my closet." Pink spread across Light's cheeks.
L grinned. "Yes, master."
