The hours flew by until the time of departure arrived. L took one last look at Wammys, for he had a feeling that he would not be returning for a long time, perhaps never. The trio, however, ran off without a second glance, their trust in L so deep that they needn't worry about the possible consequences. Light gave L's hand a reassuring squeeze and they climbed into their car, driven by Watari. He knew how hard this was on the detective, having finally got back to the place he had called home for years, and then to be ripped away so easily. But Kira was out there, and the blood was as good as on the detectives hands if he did nothing to stop it. Startled by the sudden contact, L turned towards Light, and gave him one of his rare smiles. They had been becoming more and more common in the weeks that L and Light had been together; the raven haired man had even laughed once or twice! The engine started, and they set off.

Two hours later, they were safely on the plane. Because of such short notice, L hadn't had time to book a private jet, so they had no choice but to fly first class with other members of the public. The boys seemed ok with this arrangement, after all, they had plenty of entertainment and comfort, but L was very uneasy. Just the presence of strangers made him uneasy, after all, he was L, the most famous and infamous detective in the world, and he could certainly attract a lot of unwanted attention. He shrunk in his seat, only to have Light pull him back up again.

"It's okay," he reassured him. "No one here's going to bother you. There are spies all over the plane to watch over us, and they'll have to get through me first!'

L smiled, his boyfriend was really trying to make him feel better. Boyfriend? Was it safe to assume that Light was his boyfriend? With so many technicalities these days, one never knew if someone was a boyfriend, friend with benefits, or maybe just a friend? Hell, sometimes you can't even tell if they're a friend. L was sure that Light had feelings for him, his emotions shone in his eyes when they spoke, and he could feel the younger man's heart race when they detective smiled at Light, and planted a tiny kiss on his unsuspecting neck.

"Thank you, " L replied, "I know I'm safe with you.' He looked at his watch, they had 7 hours of flight before they would reach Thailand, where they'd land for a few hours, then another 5 hours from there. Suddenly, Light gasped softly.

"What is it?"

"The view is amazing..." For once, the caramel haired boy was speechless, lost in the view. He was true to his word, the sky was a deep purple, stars glittering and a full moon shining brightly. It was almost as if it had been a sky from a painting.

Meanwhile, Mello was fending off Near and Matt as they tickled the blonde relentlessly. Nobody had ever guessed for this tough cookie to be so ticklish, but even the toughest of people had a weak spot, Mello's being tickling. He writhed under the touch of his two tormentors, almost shrieking with laughter, legs flailing. The tickling soon began to soften, but the touching didn't stop. The touches became lighter and lighter, and were centered around his lower abdomen and upper thighs. Blue eyes met piercing green eyes when he looked up, face flushed. They then met stormy grey eyes, with the most emotion in them that Mello had ever seen. He attempted to sit up straight, but a stray hand made him slump again. Someone, whether it was accidental or deliberate, and touched him, rather hard, right in the place where he wanted to be touched most. He shot gazes at both boys, but was unable to tell who had done it. Matt looked as cheeky as ever, cuter than usual because of the red flush across his face, whereas Near looked lustful and dazed, and just as flushed. Both eyes were not focused on his eyes though but on his lap. Mello looked down to see what the fuss was about and discovered that his erection was hugely noticeable, due to his tight leather pants. He blushed harder, and tried to make out like nothing had happened, but it was too late, they had definitely noticed. The two boys exchanged a quick glance before they began to inch their hands towards the bulge;painfully slowly. The blonde's eyes widened as he suddenly felt not one but two hands pressing down on his member, and unable to help himself, sighed. Matt and Near smiled simultaneously, they'd obviously done the right thing. They began to move their hands away...

'Hey! Don't you dare stop!' Mello gasped, his blue eyes clouded with lust. This was the first time anything like this had ever happened. Sure, he'd masturbated before, but this was nothing like it. This sent tingles up his spine and made him hungry for more. But Matt, the bastard, simply flashed him an innocent smile. 'I don't know what you're talking about Mels,' he replied with the sweetest tone that he could muster, before returning to Super Mario Bros on his DSi. Mello growled and looked at Near, who just winked cheekily and shrugged, and began twiddling with a Rubix Cube. Damn them... Mello was so aroused it was almost unbearable, and yet his two boyfriends refused to touch him further.

' Light-kun, wake up!' L woke his boyfriend up with a series of kisses along his collarbone.

'Unnnghhh suck me harder... L...'. Light murmured, still half asleep. The detective smiled, he'd obviously woken him up from a wet dream. By the sounds of it, L was in it... He moved his hand over the crotch of his boyfriend and began to apply pressure, resulting in a series of moans from the man. Suddenly, Light's eyes shot open, and he became aware of the situation he was in.

'You took advantage of me whilst I was asleep?!'

L was amused. 'No, you were having a wet dream and I thought I'd help you on your way. That's all.'

Light thought back to their last moment of intimacy. In fact, it was their first. He'd proven his dominance in the relationship through a simple handjob, but it would seem that Light desired something bigger this time around. If they hadn't been on a plane at the time, Light would have pounced on L, but sadly, they were on a plane. L seemed to read his mind. 'The plane is about to land in Thailand, where we're spending the night at a hotel...' He purred, staring intently into Light's eyes. Light gazed back, blushing slightly and becoming hard at the thought. L moved in closer until his lips were just grazing his ear... 'So do up your seatbelt!'

Matt pointed out the flashing 'fasten seatbelt' sign.

'I guess we'll be landing in Thailand soon!' he stated, nudging a sleepy Mello.

'Huh? Oh... Yeah. Sure.' He replied, dragging his belt across his lap. Beside him, Near was sound asleep, enveloped in his silence. Mello reached over and fastened the seatbelt for him, leaving a kiss on the albino's forehead. He then lay back, holding Matt's hand for comfort, and closed his eyes. Turbulence made him feel uneasy, so he needed the comfort of Matt to get him through it.

'We are now landing in Bangkok, Thailand. Please stay seated until the seatbelt sign goes off.'
