The New Year

Sorry it took me so long with the fourth chapter, but well, I kept getting distracted (truly a horrible excuse, but an honest one). When I started this chapter it was supposed to go in a completely different direction, but well, Matsuda kinda busted in an ruined that idea, so what can I say? Hope you like it.

Raito came down stairs twenty minutes after his father trudged back down looking mildly surprised, and overwhelmingly disappointed. The young man almost bounded down the stairs, dragging L behind him. L looked the exact opposite of Raito, tired and rather annoyed, his wide black eyes hidden behind a comically large pair of dark black sunglasses.

“Oh!” Matsuda laughed happily, “So that’s why you were late! Too bad I missed it…”

“Matsuda-san?” L said in a low voice, trying desperately to keep the volume of the room to a bear minimum.

“Yes L?” Matsuda chucked loudly, ignoring L’s flinch at the loud noise.

“Please shut up.” Came his cold response.

………………………………………

Five grueling hours later L finally gave up and begrudgingly sent the team home. He couldn’t concentrate over the pounding in his head, and Raito seemed less than interested in the case in fact the boy seemed to be spending most of his time staring at the detective himself. And without the two of them, the rest of the team collapsed into utter uselessness. “Honestly,” L though to himself, “how the police thought that they would be able to capture Kira on their own is beyond me.”

As soon as the last of the task force was out of the room, L shyly glanced up to face Raito. He hadn’t been able to face the boy since he’d woken up this morning, but he would have to face the issue eventually.

“Raito-kun?” L asked.

“Yes Ruyzaki?” Raito asked, not even bothering to try and hid the fact that he had been staring.

“Do you…” L started, a slight blush crossing over his cheeks, “Could you please tell me… what happened last night?” He finally asked, trying hard to hid behind his protective, emotionless mask.

“What do you mean, Happened? Don’t tell me you don’t remember.”

“No I do not.”

“Really?!” Raito exclaimed. “Just my luck that you black out the whole night…”

“Black out?”

“An occasional side effect of alcohol in which you louse your memory.” He quickly elaborated.

“Ahh… So, what happened then?”

“Well…” Raito drawled, trying to hid the slight blush running across his cheeks. “We engaged in certain activities…” He tried, hoping L would get the hint. Alas, no such luck.

“What type of activities Raito-kun?” L asked, turning his innocent eyes towards Raito full force.

Raito winced internally, “When he makes that face it…” Raito though to himself, not wanting to finish the sentence. “Well, what activities would you expect us to have engaged in considering the state we woke up in?” Raito finally answered, sounding a little more that annoyed.

“I’m sure I wouldn’t know Raito-kun.” L answered mischievously, trying to keep his eye’s innocently locked on the other boys, and even going so far as to remove the glasses as not to ruin the effect.

“I-I have rather deep feelings for you Ryuza- L.” Raito sighed, looking away from the detective. Though the boy did so to keep himself from doing something he might later regret for a second time with L, the other boy quickly mistook it for awkward shame.

“Guilty for taking advantage of my inebriated state Raito-kun?” L asked inquisitively.

“I didn’t take advantage of you Ryuzaki.”

“What makes you think that I would have allowed such a thing if I was in my right mind?”

Suddenly Raito decided that he couldn’t take that innocent face anymore, and in one fluid movement, he crossed the distance between them and pressed his lips against the other man’s.

L immediately commanded his arms to push the other man away, but to his horror, they only drew the boy in closer. Raito smiled into the kiss, and pulled away just long enough to whisper into L’s ear, “Your letting me do this aren’t you.”

His hot breath tickled L’s ear, making his hips buck forward uncontrollably. “Ahh, Raito.” He hissed before the other boy silenced him with another kiss, this one deeper than the first. Raito flicked his tongue forward to brush against L’s thin lips, but quickly brought it back before L could capture it in his mouth. Annoyed L tried to deepen the kiss himself, but Raito wouldn’t let him, and quickly pulled away from the kiss altogether. The boy stood up and looked down at the detective with a smug smile gracing his lips. “You bastard…” L hissed, not allowing his voice raise above a whisper. Raito had won their little game.

Raito flopped onto the floor, and quickly pulled L down off his chair and settled the other man into his lap, “I love you.” He smiled.

“You don’t have to lie to me Raito-kun. I never asked for that.”

Raito smiled wickedly before quickly leaning forward to capture L’s lips with his own for a third time. After a few seconds he pulled back, “I love you.” He hissed into L’s ear before nibbling on the lobe, “I love you.” He whispered, tracing L’s slender neck with rough kisses.

“Holy shit!” A foreign voice suddenly broke in. Both boys looked up to see a shocked Matsuda standing at the door, his face almost comically slack jawed.

“Matsuda, were you able to find-” Aizawa stopped mid sentence, his face changing into a mirror image of Matsuda’s.

“What?!” Raito and L hissed simultaneously.

“I, uh… forgot my keys…” Matsuda muttered, not taking his eyes away from the two boys on the floor. “So, uh… what’s all this then?”

“Matsuda-san?” L asked.

“Yes Ryuzaki?”

“Shut up.” Raito hissed.
