Chained Hearts

Chapter 1 ~ Beginnings

~ This is my first fan fiction so please don't be cruel I may not update often but I promise I will and I do not own Death Note or any of its characters sadly :( Please enjoy and feel free to leave comments I would love to know how you think I cant improve ~

Light leaned his head against his palm, looking at the man seated before him. Studying everything that made L, well L. His raven hair shabby as usual as it rested over the detective's eyes, those panda eyes that held no emotion. The pale detective never slept, or at least to Light's knowledge he did not. To be honest Light knew almost nothing about the man sitting before him. He never talked much and when he did it was about the case, and the percent that Light may be Kira.

Light could never understand this man who went by the name L. He was a mystery in his eyes, a pale annoying mystery. A mystery who consumed mass amounts of sugar and nothing else. A mystery that sat with his knees pulled to his chest to quote " give him 40% more deductibility ", Light just found this strange and abnormal. Compared to Light, L was alien, a alien with a secret.

Light never really understood the strange man who sat before him with his knees tucked into his chest sipping sugar with a side of coffee while staring at the monitor before him. They had been looking at the recent count of death in the Tokyo area for the past week. And so far nothing. They hadn't found anything in weeks. It was like Kira had just vanished, and that didn't sit right with Light. Kira was a criminal and he believed he deserved justice. But Kira needed to be found first along with second Kira. To bring justice and to clear his name.

For the past few hours Light had been stuck sitting next to L. This was happening to make sure Light was not Kira and was all thought of by L. Both of those things ticked Light of to the point he just wanted to punch L right in the face. But doing so would make the percent of him being Kira just go up.

" Light-kun you're staring again " L said in his usual monotone voice. That ripped Light from his thoughts and he felt his face heat up. He cursed himself in this head for blushing at L. " Is it because I'm the only one eating cake?" L asked looking straight at Light. Light didn't have the chance to say anything before the waves of laughter escaped his mouth.

This went on for some time as Lights face turned red. L, never really being near other humans before this, looked to Light. Concern filled the young man dark eyes as the locked onto Lights form, still shaking from laughter.

L's P.O.V

" Is Light-kun alright?!?" L asked, slightly afraid of what was happening before his eyes. Though he would never admit to feeling anything. He never could. That would only give him a weakness, a target for the countless criminals he had put away. So many even Watari lost track, and he never lost track of anything.

Light looked directly at him, his face once red slowly regaining its color. " Ryuzaki ( L's code name in this case, trust me it makes sense if you have seen the anime ) have you ever seen laughter " Light asked looking into Ryuzakis eyes. Had he? Well he had seen Matt laugh at one of Mello and Near's endless battles, battles of wit. But he never saw what Light-kun had just displayed. " I don't think I'm familiar with it " he stated honestly in his regular monotone voice.

Light's eyes widened and his jaw dropped " Ryuzaki please tell me you're joking " Light asked in shock. " Joke-ing " Ryuzaki asked confused. Was it what made Matt laugh at Mello. Lights mouth was gaping " Ryuzaki a joke makes someone laugh " Light says obviously holding back more of this laughter. " Does laughing hurt, Light-kun " Ryuzaki asked still very confused. " No Ryuzaki it doesn't hurt at all " Light looking bored by the conversation. " Watari can I have some cake please?" Ryuzaki asked the old man who always wore a smile.

" Why of course sir " He answered and went on the Task Force building's kitchen to get Ryuzaki's cake. " How are you alive Ryuzaki? You eat nothing but sugar and do you even sleep?" Light asks, concern filling his features. " No Light what does being alive even mean. It just a word. Nothing more than a word. It can't touch us nor affect who we are. " Ryuzaki stated simply before turning back to the monitor.

Where did that come from, was it always within him. He even shocked himself not to mention the team of mean also in the room. But mostly Light.

~ End of the chapter. Yay! Was it good? please feel free to tell me. This story will be slow because there will be a lot of character development and if you know Death Note then you should know that L really isn't that open about his feeling. Or really anything for that matter. But for all you fan girls I promise there will be smut. Much smut. But all in good time. ~
