Chapter Eight: Chained Passion
Light sat in his seat next to L, absentmindedly looking over data on the computer. He'd been chained to L for a week now and it wasn't getting any easier for him. He was still having heated thoughts about L and L still seemed to not care. It was infuriating, always wanting L, but not being able to have him.
Currently they were sitting in Head Quarters at some odd hour of the night; surrounded by the other members of the Kira Investigation Squad, save for Matsuda who was away acting as Misa Amane's manager. They all sat in silence, each doing something different, investigating different angles of the case, all coming up empty.
"Perhaps, it's time we go to bed, Light." L broke the silence, drawing everyone's attention to him, "We've been working hard, without rest for the past few days, to no avail if I might add. A good night's sleep would do us good."
"Sure, Ryuuzaki," Light agree. "Why not. I could use the rest." His mind was already running a mile a minute, filling his head with thoughts of once again sharing the close quarters of a bed with L.
"You all should get some rest, as well," L said to the other members of Task Force, they all begrudgingly agreed. "Can I make one more request?" L added as everyone began to gather their selves, "Could Light and I be off camera tonight?"
Light didn't like the sound of that. L had never requested them to be off camera before; could it be that he was up to something? If so, what? L hadn't shown the slightest interest in Light since that night they were together in his cell. But maybe that had changed.
Chief Yagami opened his mouth to protest, but Light interrupted, "I would like that." He looked at his father, hoping to appeal to the chief's paternal side. "I know that surveillance is for the best. To keep us from killing each other, or at least to stop of us from fighting again, but I just can't seem to get over the creepy 'Big Brother is Watching' feeling. It's kind of unnerving."
"Well, I guess it'll be ok," Soichiro Yagami said; he was willing to do whatever it took in order to please his son, trying to make amends for the situation he was being placed in. Light knew that Chief Yagami had not liked it when he was placed in confinement and he liked even less that now he had to spend every moment of his time chained to L. Light knew that it was a simple matter to bend his father to his will.
"Well now that that's settled, let's go up to bed Light." Light almost thought L sounded excited, but that couldn't be true; L was never excited about anything. And if he was, he never let it be heard in his voice. He always spoke in the same bored, apathetic monotone that just drove Light mad. Mad with anger and annoyance, mad with lust and want. Just plain mad.
Light didn't say anything more than a good night the other investigators, before following L up the stairs to their shared room. Another thing that drove Light mad. L never took the elevator; he always opted for the stairs. One would think that would please Light, the less time they spent alone in enclosed spaces the better, right? Wrong.
That stairs were just as enclosed as the elevator and Light couldn't help but admire the sight of L's lithe form ascending the steps. He was always so graceful in his movements, like a dancer or a gazelle, it was beautiful and it drove Light mad.
Once Light had attempted to walk up the stairs ahead of L, but the detective had insisted that Light was moving too fast and he needed to slow down and catch his breath. Light had replied that if L didn't consume such copious amounts of sugar then he wouldn't tire out so quickly. To which L had smiled and said: "Now Light-kun, you of all people should know that I don't tire out quickly."
That one sentence, which could have been referring to any number of things, set Light to blushing and looking away in embarrassment. In the end, L once again took the lead, setting his own pace up the stairs, leaving Light to once again admire his slender hips and gazelle like grace.
This time Light was too busy trying to figure out why L had requested them to be off camera to worry about his carnal desires as they ascended the stairs. What could L possibly be up to?
Once they reached their room, L immediately set himself down in the bed and began removing his jeans. Light could do nothing but watch on in shock. Eventually L looked up at his dazed watcher with the most innocent expression Light had ever seen. "Why are you just standing there, Light? Are you coming to bed?"
It took Light a moment to shake his self from the not so innocent thoughts filling his head. By this time, L had replaced is discarded jeans with a pair of navy blue pajama bottoms, but he still wore his usual white tee. "Uh, yeah," Light said, cursing himself for once again letting L catch him so distracted. He begrudgingly set about putting on his own pajamas.
To Light's amazement, L did not plan on working in bed that night. The moment the lights were out, L burrowed his way under the covers and curled up into a ball. "Good night, Light," he called before closing his eyes.
"Good night, Ryuuzaki." Light replied also crawling under the covers, but not being as quick to close his eyes. Minutes passed in silence between the two of them, until Light was finally sure L was asleep. But just to be on the safe side he waited a few minutes more before giving in to his desire to have L in his arms once more, and wrapping the detective in his loving embrace.
He pulled L firmly against his chest, holding his breath for a few seconds to make sure the older male wouldn't wake up. Then he sighed and buried his face into L's dark as night colored locks. Light loved L's scent. He smelled sweet of sugary candies, but also held an earthy yet manly aroma of cloves and mint. Most likely the flavor of one of his favorite teas.
Light wasn't sure how long he laid there holding L and inhaling his wonderful scent, but eventual he became almost intoxicated by the sweet earthy aroma and the warm feel of the other's body pressed so snugly against his own. Light looked down at L's beautiful face. His pale skin almost seemed to glow in the darkness of the room. His delicate features looked almost angel like. Light was immediately entranced by the sight of his lips.
He wanted to kiss them, like he had the first night L slept within his arms. And there was nothing stopping him from doing so. Ever so gently he adjusted his hold on L's sleeping body, and he slowly closed the distance between them. He confined himself to a quick meeting a lips. A quick peck and nothing more, though he body craved for more, much, much more. Just as quickly as their lips met, they parted and Light was back to holding the form of his own sleeping angel.
Just as he thought he'd gotten away with his actions, a monotone voice broke through the dark of the room, ringing in Light's heart like the music of an angel's harp. "You know, Light," L said turning around, but not removing himself from Light's hold, "I would enjoy kissing you much more if I didn't have to feign sleep to do so."
Light looked at L in shock. "You we're awake?"
"I was last time, as well," L replied, "Just because someone is taking deep even breaths does not mean they are sleeping. They could simply be resting their eyes. But I guess it's worth the deception if it gets you to kiss me."
Light blushed and stammered out nonsense words with no coherent meaning.
"But as I said before," L continued pressing his body more firmly against Light's, "I would enjoy kissing you much more if I didn't have to fake sleep to do so."
Light smiled. "I supposed you're right, Ryuuzaki," he said, not sure if what he was doing was the smartest act in the world. "A kiss with two active parties would be far more enjoyable."
There was a brief moment of hesitation before the distance between them disappeared.
L let out a shocked gasp, before eagerly kissing Light back. Light ran his tongue over L's bottom lip before L finally parted them and let him in. Light ran his tongue over every available surface in the moist hot cavern, his and L's tongues swirled around each other in a fierce battle for dominance, like an intimate dance. The kiss was passionate and unrelenting, leaving both Light and L gasping and panting for breath once it finally ended.
"Light," L mewled softly, wrapping his arms around the younger boy.
"Ryuuzaki," Light panted back, pulling L closer against him, he could feel himself hardening in his pants, but he didn't care, all he cared about right now was that L was in his arms, all he wanted was more L.
"Light, you seem to have a little problem digging into my leg."
Light gave L a teasing smile. "Ryuuzaki, you of all people should know it's not a little problem. Besides you seem to be having the same problem."
L smirked before pressing his lips back against Light's. He rolled them over so that he was straddling the Yagami boy. "Should I help with the problems then?" he asked.
Light didn't answer, in favor of seeing just how L chose to rid them of their 'problems'.
L leaned down and connected his lips to Light's in a feather soft kiss, before turning the attention of his lips to Light's jaw bone. L's deft fingers easily unbuttoned Light's shirt as his lips kissed a trail down his jaw and up to his ear. Light let out a startled moan of pleasure as L began to nibble lightly on his ear.
"Ryuuzaki," he groaned as he felt warm fingers rubbing butterfly soft touches over his now exposed chest. L smirked and turned the attention of his mouth from Light's ear to his neck. He nipped and sucked at the subtle flesh, eliciting moans of pleasure from the younger male below him.
L's attention slowly drifted farther down Light's body, until he was wrapping his mouth around one of the Yagami boy's pert nipples. Light moaned loudly and arched into the feel of that warm mouth around his sensitive flesh.
This was amazing. He'd had no idea that a guy would respond to being suckled like a female, yet the moment he felt L's mouth clamp down on his nipple a wave of pleasure washed through him and shot straight to his libido.
Light's mind was on pleasure overload, L was licking and sucking and biting softly on his left nipple, while fondling his right nipple lovingly with his fingers, squeezing it every now and then to bring him pleasure laced pain. He was quickly ascending to a major pleasure high.
Then suddenly L began to grind his hips against Light's, causing Light to arch off the bed and let out a loud moan, "Ryuuzaki." His body trembled from the pleasure coursing through it.
"Light." L smiled. "I didn't know your body was so sensitive. I think you're leaking already."
Light didn't like this. He didn't like L having so much control over him, but he couldn't focus enough to put an end to it. His mind was numb with pleasure, his body was craving for more, his heart was screaming for L.
L continued to grind his and Light's hips against each other, disregarding Light's nipples all together, he grinded them together at an almost fevered rate. By now he'd thrown his own head back and was moaning in pleasure. Light gripped L's hips and guided him in the fevered thrusting.
"Ryuuzaki," Light whimpered, "I'm going to come."
L took this as his cue to grind faster and harder, Light panted and moaned wantonly, his eyes squeezed tightly closed as his body gave in to its carnal desires. L rubbed his hands up and down L's chest, tweaking the boy's nipples as he did so.
"Come then, Light..." he panted out.
Light's grip on L's slender hips tightened as his eyes rolled into the back of his head, a shutter wracked through his body, and after a few more fevered thrusts, he came hard, coating the inside of his pants with his essence. Not long after L let out a long low moan and came as well.
Light laid there panting hard as L collapsed on top of him. He entwined his fingers in the older male's dark as night hair and pulled the detective up for a quick kiss on the lips. "Ryuuzaki," he mewled.
L smiled. "Did you enjoy that, Light?" he asked.
Light nodded, but said nothing, his mind was still revving from his unimaginable orgasm.
"I love you, Light," L said sitting up and glancing down at the Yagami boy.
Light looked up at L; his eyes locked on L's searching their dark depths for something he wasn't sure of. His heart was telling him that he should say something back, but his mind was coming up blank.
L sighed. "Don't worry Light; I wasn't expecting you to say it back. That would be too much to hope for." L clambered off of Light and sat on the bed next to him.
Light sat up and looked over at him. L seemed to be so sad it pained his heart to think that he was the one causing L such pain. "Ryuuzaki." He placed a hand on the detective's shoulder, drawing L attention back to him. "Give me time, Ok, I like you. I really like you. Just give me time to figure out my thoughts. Ok?"
L looked at him, his eyes carrying some profound sadness. "Alright," he said, "I'll give you some time." He gave a shaky smile that made Light's heart skip a beat, "Just know that I love you. Ok." He placed a gentle kiss on Light's lips. And suddenly Light wonder what he'd done to deserve such devotion from this man.
L pulled away from the kiss and smiled sweetly. "I think we should go get ourselves cleaned up."
Light nodded in a sort of daze.
.:~:.
Later that night after they had cleaned themselves up Light laid in the bed, L wrapped securely in his arms. His thoughts racing a mile a minute, keeping him from getting any sleep.
Why had he felt so confused after L had told him he loved him? The detective had told him before and it had hardly fazed him. But now it made his heart ache and his thoughts jumbled. He was so confused. He knew that he wanted L, on a carnal level if nothing more, but his heart kept telling him that there was something more. Something he just couldn't put a name to. Did he love L?
"Light, are you asleep?" L's voice broke through his jumble thoughts.
"No." Light replied plainly.
"You should get some rest. We have more work to do in the morning."
"Alright." Light replied pulling L more firmly against him and burying is face in the detective's unruly black hair. He inhaled L's sweet scent of clove and mint and exhaled a deep soothing breath. His last though before he fell asleep was that all the time in the world wouldn't be enough to help him figure out these feelings.
