Alrighty, here's a one-shot I originally wrote on May 29, 2006. This is the new version, rewritten on November 23. It's strange how much I improved in that short time, really. Message me if you'd like to see the original.

Disclaimer: Death Note and it's characters (c) Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. I did, however, come up with the plot of this fic.

Now that that's out of the way...I hope you all enjoy this! Thanks for reading!


"Liiiight…Do I really have to go now? I want to be with you…" Misa pouted, wrapping her petite arms around the irritated man's waist. Light loosened her arms gently from his body, the chain connecting him to L clinking as he did so. "No, Misa. Ryuzaki and I have more work to do on the Kira case. You should go on to bed."

The blonde girl pouted once more, crossing her arms across her chest. "You could at least kiss me goodnight."

He glanced her over once before gripping her shoulders and leaning down to give her a quick kiss on her mouth. L shifted his weight, and Light released the breathless girl. She dreamily bade the two of them goodnight, and was locked into her room for the night.

The two returned to their work promptly, saying nothing. Light settled back into his work and brought up the files on the previous month's Kira victims, while L perched in his chair and rotated slowly, savoring a sugar cube.

The black-haired boy settled, facing his working partner. "Light-kun…"

Light answered off-handedly, continuing his work without looking away from the computer. "What?"

Ryuzaki spun in his chair again, hesitant to speak. "What's it like to kiss?"

Light stopped typing, alarmed at the sudden question. Well…it was understandable. He did say that I was his first friend, so of course he's never had a girlfriend…

"Well…" Light glanced at the boy sitting beside him, considering how to answer his question. He sighed. "It's hard to explain- you'd have to experience it. It's different for everyone."

L thought for a moment. "Who would I kiss?"

Light leaned back, taking his hands away from the keyboard. "Misa wouldn't let you kiss her, so…"

"What about you?"

Light's eyes widened and he straightened. "What-"

L leaned forward suddenly and covered Light's lips with his own. Light's eyes widened in surprise as L leaned closer and kissed him with more force. It was over quickly. The black-haired boy leaned back and opened his eyes. Light did the same, breathing heavily.

Light's breathing calmed down after a few heated seconds. He leaned back into his chair and glanced at Ryuzaki, regaining his composure. "Well…What was it like?"

A smile graced L's lips as he turned to the computer. "It was like catching Kira."
