I do not own Death Note

Chapter 3

When Light woke up the next morning Misa's Death Note was on his desk and he quickly hid it then stopped himself. "Ryuk."

"What?" The shinigami appeared before him.

There was a little glint in Light's eye. "Give mine and Misa's Death Note to two separate people. I discard it." The shinigami was now invisible to Light and he couldn't hear Ryuk laugh. He was on a break from being Kira, he didn't know anything. This was the only way to help L on the Kira Case, nothing else would work.

Light walked downstairs and said goodbye to his Mother and sister, his father was already at work. He grabbed his lunch and walked to school, arriving just as soon as L stepped out of his car.

"Good morning Light-kun, your girlfriend is fine." He said as he walked with Light into school.

"She's not my girlfriend!" for some reason he so desperately wanted L to know that. "It's completely one sided."

Light could see L's big grin from the corner of his eye. "I see."

The day went by rather slowly and Light was home before he knew it. His phone rang from an unknown number and he answered it.

"This is L." L stated from the other line.

"What do you want Ryuzaki?"

"There seems to be two new Kiras. You are not a suspect. One kills business men and one kills all rival gangs, it seems they both use it for personal gain." L chewed on his thumb and Light waited for him to continue.

"Do you need help or something?" Light tried to push him forward.

"Wellll... Since Light-kun offered, his skills would be useful. But you must know there is still a 3.8 percent chance Light-kun is the first Kira." L informed Light who smiled like an idiot, he'd always wanted to help L on a case ever since he could remember. He looked up to L. Whenever he heard L took on a case he'd pay extra close attention and sometimes even research it to an extent his grades would start falling. Someone might say Light may have a slight crush on the detective.

Light's voice was soft when he answered. "I would like nothing more than that, L." He smiled as he said it and L could detect the smile in his voice which made him smile too.

"Very well, Light-kun." Then the line went dead and Light lowered the phone from his ear. He was going to help one of the world's greatest detectives, he couldn't believe it. He quickly saved L's number in his phone under the name Ryuzaki. Light had the, rather attractive, detective's number. He couldn't wait to start working for him.

Ryuzaki arrived at Light's house exactly ten minutes later, not like the teen was counting or anything. But he was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the greatest detective alive. Light swung open the door and L stood before him.

"Light-kun." L greeted him.

"Ryuzaki." Light replied, trying to keep his tone neutral.

Sayu appeared behind Light. She blushed as she gazed over his shoulder at L. "Oooh, Light who's this?" L smiled at Sayu. Light remained silent, expecting L to answer for him.

"I'm Light's boyfriend." L cheerfully replied.

Light glared at L. "The hell?! That's-"

Sayu looked confused. "Light's gay?" Then she grinned. "That's so cute! No wonder he isn't attracted to Misa!"

Light glared at L as Sayu left them alone. "Ryuzaki." Light's voice was strained from talking through clenched teeth.

"Lighten up, Light-kun." L smirked and leaned into the teen's personal space and pouted. "Aren't I cute enough for you?"

Light roughly pushed him away, so much for his admiration. "Screw off!"

Light brushed himself off and while he grinned he led Light to his car. He opened the door for Light which received him yet another hateful glare, L just smiled.

When they arrived at headquarters L led Light into the task force meeting room. "Everyone may I introduce Light-kun. He will be working for us for now on."

Matsuda waved excitedly at him, "Hello Light-kun!" Then he frowned. "Why isn't he talking?"

L shrugged. "He seems to be giving me the silent treatment because I-"

"SHUT UP RYUZAKI!" Light fumed.

"Seems I've upset him." L smirked and Light glared daggers at him.

Light swung a fist at L who easily caught it. Mr. Yagami stood, "If you're done harassing my son shall we get back to work?"

"Excellent idea. Light-kun, right next to me please." L pointed at the chairs and they both sat down, getting ready to work.

They worked well into the night when Mr. Yagami finally stood. "Come on son. We're going home."

"Actually, since there's still a chance Light-kun is the first Kira, he needs to stay with me so that I'll be able to monitor him at all times." L stated before Light had the chance to stand.

"I'm not Kira and I want to go home." Light said.

"I'm afraid not." L took out a chain and attached on cuff to his wrist and the other to Light's.

"What the..! Ryuzaki!" Light exclaimed, outraged.

Mr. Yagami sighed. "Very well." He turned to leave.

"Dad! You're just going to leave me with him?" He looked helplessly at his father.

"If you're not Kira then there should be no problem." Light nodded and his father finally left, leaving L and Light alone.

Light glance nervously at the detective. "If Light-kun could stop staring at me that would be great." L stated, his eyes never straying from his computer.

"I'm not." Light turned back to his computer when Watari walked in with a tray full of sweets, he set it before L.

"You're cake, sugar cubes and candy, sir." He said in an English accent.

L's full attention was now off his screen and on the tray of sweets. "Thank you, Watari." Watari nodded and left. Light stared disgustedly at the sugar addicted man as he poured the sugar and candy on the cake. L took and bite and then turned towards Light slightly. "Want some?"

"That's disgusting."

L shrugged. "Actually it's anything but."

Light shivered and unexpectedly yawned, making L sigh. "Bedtime." He got up and led Light to a bedroom that he assumed was L's. To Light's horror there was only one bed.

"You expect me to sleep with you?"

L was smirking, "It seems that way, yes."

"Bastard," Light muttered.

They lay next to each other with Light as far away from L without falling off of the bed. Light fell asleep rather quickly with L staring at the ceiling. Before L fell asleep he heard Light mutter, "Ryuzaki..." in his sleep. L was smiling when he finally fell asleep. The brat liked me after all, was the last thing on L's mind before he fell into a dreamless sleep.

A/N: AWWWW! Little Light-kun likes Ryuzaki! He wouldn't like being called a brat though... heh. Uh oh! What if L did call Light a brat? Dig out your black kiddies!
