A/N: Sorry for the wait! I'm a very busy girl

This is the end, folks. If you lurve this story, lemme know because I'm always up for writing more Death Note :3

I always have crazy ideas floating around… And suggestions are always welcome, too.

Enjoy and please leave a review! I know there are bunch of you following this who I haven't heard from yet.


Part 8

The only three members of the task force who had finished up lunch early and resumed their work were L, who never believed in taking a break anyway, Light, who had no choice considering that he went wherever L chose, and Matsuda, who was drawn to the pair on the premises of proving useful to the Kira investigation and spending time with his crush simultaneously.

Light played with the cold metal cuff around his wrist. Confinement had never suited the young genius particularly well, and being attatched to L again painfull reminded him of the days he spent boud and under surveillace.

Also, knowing that both L and Misa were well aware of the source of his most recent… Confusion made him uncharacteristically nervous.

Matsuda laughed at something that L said, a full, joyful laughter that made the older man's lips curve into a delicious smile. When they made eye contact Light averted his gaze to the floor.

"Ryuzaki!" gasped the brunette after L, once again, deliberately yanked the chain that connected the two as he moved about the office. The force nearly pulled Light out of his chair. He yanked back on the chain angrily in retaliation after regaining his balance.

L stiffened his arm and stared thoughtfully at Light, placing his thumb upon his lower lip. Just a few moments of being scrutinized strangely by his wide-eyed companion made the younger man sigh and turn away in resignation.

"Don't space out on me, Yagami-kun," L mumbled hastily before taking a large gulp of sugar-saturated coffee and grabbing a doughnut. Taking a huge bite, the detective licked the icing off the corners of his lips. "Mm. So this morning I have assigned Wedy to try to crack the security system at the Yotsuba main building…" murmured L. He climbed back into his chair and assumed his hunched posture over the computer. "Matsuda, I also have a important assignment for you."

"What is it?" asked Matsuda eagerly.

"I have arranged it so that Misa-Misa will be working on a movie set located next to Yotsuba and I want you to pose as her manager while keeping an eye on things," replied L. His fingers tapped rhythmically at the keys and his tongue poked out the side of his mouth in concentration. Light noticed a mark marring the side of L's neck.

"Sounds good Ryuzaki! It'll be so nice to get some fresh air and finally spend some time outside of the building," replied Matsuda with a smile that made Light grin, too. L rolled his eyes.

"Ryuzaki, what's that?" Light asked, pointing to his companion's neck. L craned his neck in the reflection of an empty monitor, studyng his reflection with a smirk on his lips.

"Ah. Well it's nothing you haven't done to Mr. Matsuda, I presume."

Light and Matsuda's cheeks flushed delicate shades of crimson.

"I'll give you a strawberry if you keep it a secret," Matsuda chuckled nervously, quoting the famous detective in a way that was downright charming.

L raised his eyebrows and the ghost of a smirk touched his lips.


"Ryuzaki, can we please go to sleep soon?" asked Light, yawning. He rubbed his eyes and squinted at L. "It's so late and we've been working all day."

The dark-haired detective's face was illuminated by the blinding light of the computer resting on his lap. "Absolutely not, Yagami-kun. You've had a few days to get full nights of sleep. You told me that you were prepared to make sacrifices for this investigation."

Light tugged at the handcuffs linking himself and L. "As if this isn't enough!"

L sighed. His fingers continued to tap rhythmicalls on the keys, "What do you think of this data, Light-kun?"

Mumbling into his pillow, Light rolled over and pulled the black duvet cover over his head.

"Fine, you can sleep. But since you claimed that you are not Kira, won't you feel guilty tomorrow afternoon if another muder occurs?"

"Ryuzaki," growled Light darkly from under the covers.

A few moments later the door creaked open slowly, breaking the silence. L looked up to see Misa peering into the room.

"Ah, Miss Amane. What brings you here?" asked L. Light watched through a small gap in the duvet as Misa flounced into the room, pulling the door shut.

"I'm not tired," replied Misa simply. She took a seat at the edge of the bed.

Light's muffled voice was heard through his blanket cocoon. "Misa, go away. I'm trying to sleep."

"No, Light-kun, we should let her stay for a while," replied L immediately, seeing the potential in such a situation. He set his laptop down and patted the spot on the bed next to him.

"Okay," giggled Misa. "I figured we could watch a movie, so I brought you something, Ryuzaki-kun."

L leaned forward to a take a bowl out of Misa's outstretched hand. He reached inside and took a bite of popcorn, but it tasted sweet like chocolate.

Devouring another handful, L licked the sweet, salty residue from his fingers. "This is quite good… Thank you Misa-san." he murmured. "Let's see if there's any movies on tv."

Misa kicked off her heels and climbed into the bed between Light and L. Laying down under all of the blankets, the blonde wiggled around until she was comfortable.

"Light-kun, I still want us to be friends, it's okay," whispered Misa, rolling on her side so that her head was right next to Light's. "Don't feel bad."

The brunette felt his cheeks burning with embarrassment. Half of his face emerged from under the covers, silky brown hair a disheveled mess. "Thanks, Misa. That would be okay."

"Good," replied Misa with a big smile. She wrapped her arms around Light, feeling the warmth radiating from his body. A small pang of sadness ached in her chest at the pain that he reminded her of… But she was beginning to come to terms with the fact that some things happened for a reason.

Some comedy was playing on the tv, Misa could hear the pre-recorded sitcom laughter playing in the quiet room. She could also hear L munching on the chocolate popcorn that she made, The model smiled into Light's back. Satisfying Ryuzaki-kun wasn't nearly as difficult as satisfying Light-kun was.

Misa gasped quietly as she felt L's hand stroking the back of her thigh ever so softly from under the covers. His nimble fingers played with the hem of her skirt, brushing against her soft skin and sliding between her thighs.

Before she knew in, L's fingertips were pressing at her entrance. Misa arched back into his touch, but it seemed the detective was teasing. He rubbed his fingers gently against her folds, eliciting a gasp from the surprised blonde.

She could feel Light's body moving in time with each of his slow, deep breaths, the brunette had most definitely fallen asleep. Misa wiggled away from him and her body shivered as L's fingers worked their magic. Two of his digits slipped inside of her suddenly and she bit down on the comforter, eyes squeezed shut as she tried not to cry out loud.

L set down the popcorn bowl that he was haphazardly eating out of with one hand. He had been with Misa enough times to know exactly where her sweet spot was and wasted no time in pleasuring her immensely.

Light stirred from the other side of the bed but never roused, even as Misa's body shook with her climax.

"You're a bit fun," said L in a quiet voice. Misa looked over her shoulder to see the detective peering at her with amusement sparkling in his obsidian orbs. "You squeak."

"You'll find any excuse to keep me locked up here for longer," she chuckled breathlessly in reply.

L scoffed. "Don't be so sure. You also happen to be the greatest distraction to my work that I've yet to encounter."

Still breathing heavily, Misa let her heavy eyelids slide shut as she relaxed into the down comforter. Having these hushed little conversations right by the side of her sleeping ex-boyfriend was surreal, but it didn't seem to matter much.

An arm slid around Misa's waist and she heard the faint clinking of the metal chain and L shifted his body closer. The dark haired man exhaled and nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck as their bodies slid together seamlessly.

"Good night, Misa-chan."

A genuine smile touched Misa's lips and she let out a soft sigh of contentment.

"Night, Ryuzaki-kun."

Misa felt hot breath tickle her ear as L's lips practically pressed against her flesh. "Tomorrow morning when I take a shower, I'll let you return the favor. You can even go down on me before I soap up, since I seem to have taken a to liking to you," he whispered.


THE END.
