Deadly Decisions

The Truth is...

It has been about 2 and a half months since Light began screaming suspicious outbursts in his sleep and despite his best efforts, L hasn't managed to deduce any reasoning with solid evidence for it. All he can manage are theories without proof. He is becoming desperate as Light's words are forever replaying at the back of his mind as constant reminder that his forbidden lover could in fact be Kira himself...

{L's point of view}

Having to take Light's sleep talk into consideration in relation to the Kira case is really depressing me. I know that if I'd have shared this evidence with the rest of the team they would probably have figured something out by now but I just can't bring myself to hand Light over that easily... I love him. I have decided that even if he is Kira, I will do my best to protect him, my love for him outweighs the desire I have for bringing him to justice. I'm probably over thinking things, but I just can't shake this feeling that despite the lack of verfication, Light Yagami is guilty. It's a gut feeling i've had since the very first time I met him. What should I do now though? How do I proceed when it's expicit that even if Light is Kira, I won't allow him to suffer the punishment. How selfish of me, risking the World's future for some stupid emotion I have... I slump myself over my desk, almost smoshing the slice of cake that i'd only half eaten.

"Erm, hello? L!"  I cock my head to the side to reveal the identity of he who had spoken. There was only one person chained to me yet I still used my eyes to confirm it.

"Ah... Light." I smile descretely so that nobody in the task force would notice. I still find it hard to believe that we've managed to keep our relationship under wraps this entire time. No one here is suspicious in the slightest. Though I suppose they are not in a position to question their superior so even if they did notice something they probably wouldn't say anything. He moved his chair closer to mine so that nobody would notice his hand on my leg while we discussed all new updaes (aside from Light's sleep talking, I still haven't informed him about that... Maybe today I should just come clean and tell him everything?)...

"Ryuzaki? I'd like to take you out... without these..." he raised his arm suggestively "..on. Please? Just this once? I'd like to take you somewhere really special and spoil you. It wouldn't feel right if we stayed cuffed together."

"Oh, like a date?.."

"Yes, a date..."

"I would like that, but you mustn't tell anyone that I undid your cuffs and you will have to wait till we depart before I take them off, understood?"

"Really?! Y-Yes! Of c-course!"

"So, where are you taking me, Light?"

{Light's point of view}

I'd had enough of this soppy relationship. It's about time I found out his damn name. I'm beginning to become attatched to him and I mustn't allow that to happen. How would the citezons of my new world feel about me if they knew I took so long to create it because I fell in love with the man trying to stop me? They would never forgive me, I would never forgive myself. Today I will take him out, away from everybody else and force his name out of him. If that fails i'll just have to beg Misa to use her eyes, though I know she will expect something in return. I shiver at the thought of my first time being with that eccentric bimbo. Sure she's useful, but that's all there is to our relationship... Okay it's time to initaite the next step in my plan. I'll test the water, last week he refused to take of my hand cuffs no matter the circumstances...

"Ryuzaki? I'd like to take you out... without these..." I motion the hand cuffs forward, he agreed?! Woah I guess this is really happening huh. Now I've just got to think about where I can take him to make him lose all rationality he has, somewhere he will feel comfortable revealing his identity to me...
