Ch. 5
When Raito opened his eyes the next morning the first thing he saw was white. He was slightly confused, so he closed his eyes and sighed. He felt really warm and relaxed, something he usually never felt upon waking. It was then that it hit him. The white was a white shirt, he felt warm because he was curled up next to a body, and the only body that could be in his bed and wearing a white shirt was L.
Raito's eyes shot open and he automatically pushed out with his hands, causing not only L to go flying off the opposite side of the bed, but Raito himself went flying off his side of the bed as well, effectively landing on the floor.
"Uhmf," Raito moaned as he pushed himself off the floor, "What the fuck Ryuzaaki! Haven't you ever heard of personal space?"
"Actually, Raito-kun, I have. It is you, I believe, who is the one who hasn't heard of personal space, for it was you, not me, that was clinging to my shirt, therefore preventing me from moving away." Replied L, causing Raito's face to turn a magnificent shade of red.
In an attempt at a comeback, Raito stuttered out that Ryuzaaki should have woken him up then, in which L replied that the last time he had tried to wake Raito-kun up from his precious sleep, Raito-kun had almost punched him in the face, which in turn caused Raito to blush even more. Raito then having been thoroughly embarrassed, did the only thing he could think of to do, he got angry. Raito turned around with a "Humph" and proceeded to drag L along to the bathroom, ignoring L's complaints of his dislike of being manhandled.
Raito reached the bathroom and turned on the water to the shower and proceeded to undress. L seeing this, abruptly stopped talking, and blushed like mad. It wasn't like it was the first time he had ever seen Raito naked, no he had seen him naked plenty of times before. No the reason L blushed was because that this was the first time he had seen Raito naked sense he had begun his plan to let Raito know how he felt, and even though he wasn't quite sure if Raito had gotten all of the message, it still made him blush, making him feel slightly silly.
"Are you just going to stand there all day, or are you doing to get undressed and get into the shower?" Raito stood by the shower door, in all his glory with his hands on his hips, looking impatient. L resisted the urge to look down and took off his close and got into the shower.
Now to say it was awkward for L was a pretty good description of how he really felt, along with annoyance with himself for acting like a damned hormonal teenager. But how could he blame himself? Raito was just so hot and sexy and wet and…
Whoa! Stop that train of thought right there L Lawliet. You have already promised yourself that you weren't going to do anything or say anything until you know for sure he knows, so stop it before you give yourself a hard on. The rest of the shower continued with L willing himself not to get hard, while unbeknownst to him, Raito was trying to will away the one he already had, while trying to convince himself that it wasn't because he was taking a shower with L.

"Raitoooo-kuuuunnn!"
Raito groaned as he looked up at the monitor, praying to the Gods that it wasn't who he thought it was, but his praying hadn't seemed to of worked because there Misa was, standing in the entrance waving to him through a camera. Now L had released Misa only because the shinigami, Rem, had vouched that Higuchi was the one, and only second Kira. L was skeptical, and didn't believe her, but the rest of the Task Force did, so he finally decided to let Misa go, believing that she wouldn't go far because he still had Raito chained to his wrist.
So everything didn't go as accordingly to Raito's well thought out plan as he had hoped, but Misa was smarter than she seemed to be because, once she realized that Raito wasn't going to be let go any time soon, she started writing names in the Death Note and touching Raito with pieces of it when she hugged him. So though things didn't turn out perfect, Raito still hadn't been caught and criminals were still dying, so he believed that he could deal.
"Raito-kun, if you do not really like Amane-san, then why do continue to lead her on?" ask L looking to Raito and cocking his head to one side in a confused, but cute, questioning manner.
"I'm not leading her on Ryuzaaki. I have told her time and time again that I just want to be her friend, not her boyfriend, but she doesn't listen. So it is Misa, herself, that is leading her on, not me." Raito replied with practiced ease. Raito stood up and stretched, waiting for L to stand up so he could hurry up and get this meeting of doom over with.
L nodded at Raito's answer and stood up to walk with him to meet Misa. They walked down the hall and to the elevator, not talking, but both wishing that Misa would just up and leave Raito alone. One wishing it out of jealousy, the other out of annoyance.
The only thing that Raito saw once the elevator doors opened was a blur of black before all the air was knocked out of him.
"Raito-kun! I've missed you soooooo much!" screeched Misa into Raito's ear, making not only him, but L as well, wince. Misa had seen L many times, and because she had the shinigami eyes she knew his name, but, once again, she wasn't stupid. She knew that if she were to kill L while Raito was still chained to him, that Raito would be charged with his murder and of being Kira.
"Misa. Get off me, now." Raito stated in a stern voice leaking with venom. Misa, hearing the venom scrambled off him apologizing. Raito stood up and dusted himself off, glaring at Misa, as she hung her head in shame. Now he knew it was just an act to cover up her touching him with a piece of the Death Note, but Raito was not going to pass up any chance to glare at Misa.
"So, Raito-kun, when are we going to go on a date, with out Ryuzzaki? It's been forever sense we went out." Complained Misa once Raito had stepped out of the elevator.
"Misa, I told you that I can't, we have got to solve this case." Raito scolded.
"Yes, Raito-kun is right. After we have solved this case, then you may date all you want." Raito looked back at L surprised. That statement was dripping with venom, and Raito was slightly confused to as why. L couldn't really be that angry over Misa trying to take him away from the case. Could he?
"Raito-kun," Misa whined, "Are you going to let Ryuzaaki talk to me like that?"
"Look Misa, we're really busy with the case right now, so I'm sorry but Ryuzaaki and I have to get back to work. I'll see you later, okay?" replied Raito to pacify Misa. She pouted but nodded when Raito gave her a stern look.
"Okay." Misa hugged Raito one more time before waving and walking away.
As Raito and L got back on the elevator they looked at each other and busted out laughing.
"Ryuzaaki… I'm not sure what put you in such a foul mood with Misa… but… that was great… her face, priceless." Raito panted as he attempted to stop laughing.
"I'm sorry… I don't know what came over me…" L panted back. They continued to laugh all the way up to their floor, and down the hall. They were still laughing by the time they reached the investigation room, but by that time, it wasn't so much that something was funny, but more just that they were laughing because they couldn't stop.
"Ryuzaaki, Raito, what's so funny?" Matsuda questioned as the two of them walked through the door. Ryuzaaki and Raito paused to look at each other, and then busted out laughing. As Raito and Ryuzaaki continued laugh to their seats, Matsuda looking on with a confused look on his face.
"Did I miss something?" Asked Matsuda, looking at Soichiro Yagami.
"Yes," Laughed Soichiro, "I believe we all did."

The rest of the day was spent in a fairly cheerful mood, slightly surprising Raito, but when he thought about it, he found he didn't really care. He and L were having a good day in the company of each other, and he didn't particularly feel like ruining that, Kira be damned.
"Hey Raito-kun, do you feel up to playing some cards?" asked L as he sat down at the dinner table with a piece of strawberry shortcake. Raito looked up from the book he was reading to look at L.
"Yeah, what do you want to play?" Raito responded as he closed his book. L took out some playing cards and shuffled them.
"Do you know how to play speed?" Raito nodded as L set up the game. "Great, I love this game." Smiled L as he delt the cards.
They played, both winning, though out the night. In fact, by the time they decided to stop, it was already 1:00 in the morning.
Raito yawned as he put down his last card, "Speed." Raito lend back in his chair as L marked a tally under Raito's name.
"We're tied, again, and it looks like you're tired, so lets go to bed, ne?" asked L.
"Usually I would play until I kicked your ass, and no that does not make me Kira, but I'm dead, so lets go to bed." Replied Raito.
L nodded and stood up, stretching his back making it pop. Raito made a face at this, but said nothing as he had gotten to used to it. It was just another thing that came with being chained to L.
As they got to their room L took off the key from around his neck and un-cuffed the chain from around Raito's wrist and went to sit on his side of the bed with his laptop.
As L attempted to not look at Raito's nice, firm ass, Raito was going over the day and how much fun he had actually had with L. Raito, if given a chance, would love to have another day like that, in fact, he would love to actually go outside with L. Like to an amusement park, the movies, the mall, or any other place normal college students would go to have. That was it! What Raito wanted was to have a normal college friend relationship with L. Yes L, Kira's arch enemy.
Raito got in on his side of the bed and turned of the side lamp light before it hit him. So that's what L was talking about when he was talking about "Raito". "Raito" was out today, not "Kira". But, does that mean that though I'm Kira, I'm not really "Kira". Kind of like split personalities except not. That if I hadn't of discovered the Death Note, that "Kira" would never have existed. That the" bad side" of me never would have come up, and I would probably be a regular college student aiming to be the Chief of the police force. L believes that eventually the Raito that was out today, "Raito", and the "Kira" part of me will fight for domenence. That one or the other must win. That the two sides of me cannot coexist, and he wishes for "Raito" to win. And if what he hypothesizes if right, then, at times like these, I hope "Raito" wins too.
And in that moment Raito could feel "Kira" fighting to get control, and he knew that L was right. Now what he was going to do about it he wasn't sure, but right then he didn't want to think about being Kira, all he wanted to think about was how much fun he had with L, and go to sleep. So as the clacking of keys from L's laptop filled the room, Raito feel asleep thinking of L, again. Now that's saying something.
