Chapter Five: Caged Lovers

"What!" Light practically yelled, his voice dripping disgust. Surely L hadn't said what he thought he'd said.

"Sleep with me," L repeated in his usual monotone voice. "You should have no problem with it if you're not a homophobe."

"There's a difference between homophobia and homosexuality, Ryuuzaki," Light said as if he was a teacher trying to explain that two plus two did not equal twenty-two to a high school senior.

"I know that, Light."

"Evidently you don't since you're suggesting that I become a homosexual in order to prove I'm not a homophobe."

"Not homosexual, really," L said, running his thumb over his lower lip, "More like bisexual. Not even that since this will most likely be a one time thing. Think of it as experimenting to prove a hypothesis."

"No," Light replied coolly. "I'm not having sex with you to prove a point."

"Fine then, forget the conditions and sleep with me anyway." L looked at Light with an incomprehensible look of sadness mixed with longing hidden behind a mask of boredom. "Sleep with me as a going away present. Since we've already decided that I won't be coming down here to bother you ever again—" He paused, before adding shyly, "If it counts I'll even let you play the man and be on top."

Light's initial fury at the situation changed into one of reluctant acceptance. "There's no way around this, is there?"

"Not really, Light. No. We both knew this would be the next step." Even if we were afraid to admit to even ourselves.

"Fine. Let me out of these cuffs and I'll sleep with you."

L looked at Light shocked. Surely the boy hadn't agreed to sleep with him so easily. L had expected the Yagami to argue longer, until L finally managed to wear him down and rope him into to it with some false promise or other. Even if Light had seen it coming, that did not mean he was going to accept it lying down. Light's quick acceptance was the last thing he'd expected. "Really, Light, you mean it?" he asked, sounding like a child who didn't trust what he'd just been told.

"I said I would," Light replied. "Now hurry up and take off these cuffs, or do you have some sick bondage fetish on top of all your other problems." L let the comment pass as he quickly set about removing the boy's handcuffs, hoping his eagerness didn't show in his actions.

Light stretched his newly freed limbs. "You're going to have to remove these fetters as well." He stated. L fell to his knees and worked on removing the bindings on the boy's ankles.

Once his legs were free, Light looked down a Ryuuzaki with a pleased expression. L looked back with his dark hunting eyes, eagerly awaiting what was to come next. Of course L was going to deny wanting this so badly. He wanted to convince himself that he was just trying to scratch an itch and not get his heart too involved for when it turned bad at the end. Because he knew it was going to turn bad, this was Light he was with after all.

Light smiled and reached down a hand to pull the older male up to him. L stumbled to his feet and fell towards the boy pulling him. The two of them looked at each other in silence for a moment, before Light yanked L towards him and connected their lips in a sloppy kiss.

L moaned and Light used the opportunity to slide his tongue into the detective's mouth, grazing it across every available surface. At first L stood there unresponsive, but then he slowly began to kiss the boy back, his own tongue launching in and retreating from Light's mouth like a sensual dance or a well fought battle.

Light pulled L down to straddle his lap, before running his hands up under his white shirt, covering his chest with light butterfly like touches. L let out a low moan when Light ran his fingers across his nipples, causing them to instantly harden. Liking that response, Light touched that sensitive flesh again, grabbing one of the pert nipples and squeezing it between his thumb and forefinger. L moaned louder and arched into the touch. All the while their lips never left each other, as the sensual battle with their tongues continued.

"Light." L panted when they'd come for air, Light said nothing as he used the break to completely relieve L of his shirt. There was a brief pause in motion, before he leaned in and took one of L's nipples in his mouth, rolling the hard little nub around on his tongue. The sounds this coaxed from L were enough to make Light's pants tighten around a quickly forming erection.

L could feel Light hardening beneath him and his own jeans tightened in response. He grinded their hips together, causing more pleasure to well up from the friction created. Light threw his head back in a low moan, and began to grind his hips back against L's, trying to get more friction. For a while they both just set there panting and moaning as they grinded against each other. It felt so good, but L wanted more. No. He needed more. Gripping handfuls of Light's chocolate brown hair, he brought their faces together for another kiss.

Their lips locked and their tongues resumed their battle for dominance. Meanwhile, Light's hands had found the zipper to L's jeans. He had barely gotten his hand inside the denim cloth and around the detective's erection before L threw his head back and screamed out, "Awww, Light."

"Wow Ryuuzaki," Light said pulling his hand out of the older male's jeans. "Just couldn't wait could you." L looked away a light blush on his cheeks, embarrassed for coming from just one touch of his Light's hand. He couldn't help himself. He had wanted so badly for Light to touch him in that place, and when he finally had his body had responded eagerly. It had felt so good to be touched by the one he loved.

"Light," He panted softly. Light looked down and laughed, L was already hard again.

"Excited aren't you," Light teased. "Maybe it's time I really gave you reason to be excited." Before L could respond, Light had them flipped over with L pinned down to the cot and he hovering over him. Light captured L's lips in another kiss as he set about completely removing what was left of the detective's clothing.

L broke the kiss and looked away from Light. He now laid completely naked on the boy's cot, exposed to Light's scrutinizing gaze. L's skin was pale, save for his face that now sported a crimson blush. His body was lean, thin for someone who ate nothing but sweets. He was toned but not overly muscular. And he looked up at Light with lust filled eyes, his lips; bruised from kissing; were parted as he panted softly. His arms wrapped around his chest, and his knees drawn up, like an embarrassed girl trying to protect her virtue. Overall, a very erotic sight. Enough, almost, to make Light want to cream himself. But he wouldn't do that now. He wouldn't do that until he was buried to the hilt inside of L, with the detective screaming his name.

L was trembling with the need for Light to touch him. He wanted it so badly. But he felt so uncomfortable under the boy's gaze, exposed as he was. Light must have sensed his uneasiness, because he gave him an encouraging smile, before leaning in and kissing him softly. The next moments were all blurred together. Light had him trapped in an unrelenting kiss; his knees were being pulled down from where he had them hugged to his chest. He felt something hard pushing at his opening. And then there was the pain.

"Ahh, Light it hurts." L cried out when he first felt the boy entering him. Of course it hurt. The fact that Light hadn't prepared him and that they weren't using lube registered somewhere in the back of L's mind. It was no secret that it was going to hurt, having hard flesh pushing into him, especially under these conditions, but he still couldn't stop himself from calling out, "Wait Light, it hurts." His eyes were shut tight and he was holding onto Light with all his worth, as his body screamed out for the intruding object to be removed. But L didn't want it to be removed. This was his Light, he wanted more of it.

Light also had his eyes squeezed shut, and he gripped L's hips painfully. L was so tight and hot around him. It was wonderful. He hadn't expected it to feel like this and it took all of his self control not to just slam into L with all he was worth, disregarding the other's pain and focusing only on his own release, which was imminent. "Fuck Ryuuzaki you're so tight." It was out of character for him to curse, but he couldn't come up with any other word to describe how he was feeling.

L slowly loosened his grip on Light as his body adjusted to the pain. Somewhere in his mind he registered the fact that Light was cursing, but he was too busy concentrating on the sensation emitting from his bottom to care. Slowly the initial pain he felt was dulled into nothing but a slight annoyance as he felt the first waves of pleasure flowing in. He let out a low moan and all but thrust himself back against Light.

Light took L's actions as a sign that it was ok for him to move now. Slowly he pushed further into the hot heat, hissing as he felt even more surrounded. It just felt so good to be buried in L's tight little hole. Again he paused as L gripped him tighter, but this time the detective was quicker to relax. Light slowly pulled out of L until only the tip remained surrounded by that delightful heat, then without warning he slammed completely into L, all the way to the hilt.

"Shit, Light." This time it was L being out of character and cursing at the suddenness in which he was entered. Light's thrust had ripped the flesh inside of him to the point that he was bleeding enough to act as lube for the rest of the night. The pain was back full force, but so was the pleasure. The two balanced each other out to the point that L didn't know why he was screaming anymore. It was amazing. His body was tensed from pain, but he was already riding a pleasure high. "Nnnn, Light." He whimpered, "More."

Light didn't need to be told twice. He pulled out and slammed back into L full force. The detective was withering below him, crying out and begging for more. Light set a nice even pace, in out, tip to base, riding waves of pure bliss.

As Light pulled out again, L shifted his position a little, and when Light pushed back in he went farther than before, and L arched off the cot, screaming Light's name at the top of his lungs. Liking this reaction, Light aimed for that spot again, and sure enough L had almost the exact same response. Smiling, Light aimed all his thrust at that spot. Hearing his name like that was almost enough to push Light over the edge. Almost, but not quite.

L was panting and moaning uncontrollably now. When Light had first touched that bundle of nerves if felt like a jolt of electricity had been shot trough all the pleasure points in his body at one. It was enough to make his toes curl and him see stars behind his eyes. His body had arched off the bed against his will, and all he could do was scream the name of the person making him feel this way. It was just so good. He wanted more. Then Light had touched that spot again and again. All coherent thoughts flew from his head, turning into a moaning puddle of goo riding such a pleasure high he couldn't remember his own name. There was only this pleasure. And the person giving him the pleasure. His Light was the only person who existed now.

As Light continued to abuse his prostate, L could feel himself getting closer and closer to release. He knew he couldn't last much longer. Even without stimulation, his cock was twitching and weeping precum. It felt like he was at the edge of a cliff and with the slightest motivation, he'd go plummeting off. Motivation came in the form of Light beating ruthlessly against his prostate again. He clamped his eyes tightly shut as his body arched off the bed again, his pleasure high taking him over the edge. "Light!" He cried out as he released his seed into the air.

Light looked down at l while he climaxed and that blissful expression was enough to spark his own release. As already tight muscles clamped down tighter around him, and L screamed his name, Light too was sent plummeting over the edge of that cliff. Shooting his load inside of L's tight cavern.

The two boys collapsed on the cot next to each other. Neither of them had the power to do more than lie there panting loudly. Eventually L would have to get up and clean the mess they'd made. He'd have to cuff Light up again and make sure everything was exactly like it should be before Task Force showed up in the morning. He'd have to go back upstairs and pretend like none of this happened. Light would stay down here in his cage of a cell. Monitored twenty-four/seven. L would stay up at headquarters doing the monitoring. And he would never again visit Light down here. Soon everything would have to return to their version of normal, and the events from the night would have to be stored away, only to be revisited in wet dreams.

Soon this moment would end.

Soon, but not right now.

Right now the two boys were basking in the after glow of release. They laid next to each other, Light's arms around L's waist, L's back pressed against Light's chest. They almost looked like a normal couple. As if nothing was really going on around them. There was no Task Force, or Kira Case, no Misa Amane, or Chief Yagami, no Light, and no L. There was just them, and they weren't themselves. They were two lovers cuddling up together after a long night of love making.

Lovers. Something Light and L could never truly be. And their actions hadn't been lovemaking. It had simply been sex. Plain and simple. No emotional attachment at all, at least not on Light's part.

As the truths to who they were set in. L disentangled himself from Light's arms and set about putting things in motion, so that they could return to reality. Already he stored away the night's events. Already he set about forgetting.

.:~:.

L made his way up the stairs and opened the door to Task Force Headquarters. He was trying to distract himself from feeling resonating from his body, the last reminder of what he and Light had been doing only minutes before. He already knew that he would be sore come morning.

He entered the room and headed towards the chair he vacated that night, inwardly praying that things would be as he left them, but already knowing they wouldn't be. Sure enough, the monitor had been turned back on. Before he could sit down and examine the weight of the situation, he heard a familiar voice call out his name behind him.

"Ryuuzaki, we need to talk."
