Lxlight

Chapter 1

(A/N: Please note I don't own any of the pictures in this story. I will write in italics when it's their inner thoughts. This is also my first time writing a fanfic so pls don't be too hard on me, but I would love to hear feedback.)

It was around 3am when Light woke up to the sound of thunder. He quickly shot up, jerking L out of his chair. They were handcuffed together, much to L's annoyance. L still suspected Light of being Kira so he insisted he stay with him 24/7.

-Lights POV-
     *thud* I watched as L fell from his chair. The thunder had scared me but now I found myself holding back a giggle.
"Ryuzaki, are you alright?" I finally got out without laughing.
"Fine. Are you?" he swiftly replied.
"Yes, I was just awakened by the thunder."
He got back into his chair, returning his knees to his chest, as he normally sat.
"This wouldn't happen if you'd un-cuff us." I snapped.
"You know I can't do that."
"I'm not Kira!"
"I hope that is true."
What did he mean by that? I thought for sure he would be overjoyed to prove I was Kira, to close this case.
"Why?" I said quietly, regretting the question as it came out of my mouth.
He went silent for a second, as if he didn't know what to say. Then he looked up at me.

-L's POV-
     Why did I say that? I shouldn't have. I know he's Kira, I can't let this confusing feeling win.
"Like I said before, you are the only friend I've ever had, Light Yagami." I replied, staying calm.
"Friends don't handcuff themsel-"
The thunder cracked again, this time even louder, causing both of us to jump.
I had the urge to lay down next to him. I wanted comfort from the storm and I think he did too. But what would he think? Why am I feeling this way? What if he feels this way too? There's no way. That's stupid to think. You are the worlds 3 best detectives, get yourself together. You shouldn't want comfort from the man you suspect to be Kira. But I do.

-Light's POV-
     L was looking down for a long time. He was visibly uncomfortable and his eyes looked panicked. I started to feel myself worry for him. I wanted to wrap him in my arms and tell him it would be ok. What am I thinking, this is the man who's accusing me of being a murderer.
"Ryuzaki?" I spoke quietly, trying to hide my worry.
He closed his eyes, then looked up at me.
"Yes?"
"Are you alright?"
He stared at me for a second, like he was calculating what to say next. What if he questioned me worrying about him? What if he knew that I was having this feeling to protect him?
"Go back to sleep, Light."
I was slightly hurt that he wouldn't confide in me.
"Ryuzaki, you should try and rest too."
"You know I don't sleep much."
I knew he didn't and I expected that response but I wanted him to lay next to me.
"Just lay in the bed."
L's eyes widened for a second and I thought I had revealed my feelings. Shit.

-L's POV-
     I didn't expect him to say that. He looked down at the bed and I studied him. It looked as if he regretted what he had said. But why? Did he return my feelings? I stood up and walked over to the bed. I crawled under the covers and turned my back to Light. I felt the bed move a little as Light laid back down, keeping his back to mine. I had started to feel better already, just having him closer to me. I drifted off to sleep.
