I do not own Death Note.

Thoughts

"Speach"

Light's POV

At first it had been hard for him. With L following him everywhere, never getting a moment alone. He did get frustrated at times and yell at L, but the detective knew that Light wasn't really mad at him so he never held it against the younger male. Soon Light's fits became less frequent, where it was one every few days, it became one every few weeks and as more time went along, one every few months. L was supportive of Light every step on the way never yelling back when Light was angry. Light always apologized after he had a fit, but L always brushed it off.

A few months after L and Light had their confrontation in the infirmary, they were able to get the evidence needed to arrest Misa and the Kira, which turned out to be a leader of the Yotsuba Group. Though the world could not know of the death notes, so both of them were placed in high security mental hospitals. Their death notes were destroyed and the natural balance was replaced into the world.

After the case ended Light knew that L could not stay in Japan, that he other places to be. When he brought this up with the detective, he was given the choice of staying in Japan, near his family, to finish his education and possible move in with L after and then work with him, or Light could go with him now start working at L's side, but at the cost of being very far from his family. The brunette decided to go with L, wherever he went, so would Light. Light told his mother and sister that he was going to study abroad and that he had a scholarship that paid for all of it. It was a tearful departure, but they wanted Light to do want he wanted and let him go.

When it turned out that they were going to England, Light's only thought on the matter was that now he knew why L prefered European and American sweets. Watari warmed up to Light when it became obvious that he was not Kira, and that he was a good influence on L. Light was able to get L to eat some actual food from time to time which made Watari a little relieved. The japanese teen was curious as to why L's base of operations was in an orphanage until L explained that he was raised there and that Watari worked as one of the caretakers, that is when he wasn't off in a different country with L.

He got to meet the two boys, named Near and Mello, who were apparently competing to be the successor of L. At first both of the boys thought that Light was competition for the spot, but after they let it slip that that was the reason why they had been so cold to Light, he sighed and told them that he didn't want to be the next L. That he loved L, and was only here to help him solve cases. After that both of the boys were a bit friendlier.

Over the months, L and Light became closer. One night when Light and L were in bed, a question came to Light's mind. Rolling over he looked at L, sliding a hand over the covers till his hand encountered L's leg, bumping it, gaining the attention of his lover.

"I just thought, I call you L now since we don't need to hold up pretenses anymore, but don't you trust me to know your real name?" Light asked quietly. L's eyes widened a bit and a sheepish smile came unto his face.

"Of course I do. But I don't really need to tell you since you already know my name. That is my first name." L replied. Light's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion and thought.

"I thought that Ryuzaki was just a cover name, and I am still sure that it was. But the only other name you have really given me would be…" Light froze sitting up and looked at L with wide eyes. "Who in the world names their child L!?" He exclaimed. L let out a small chuckle, and shrugged his shoulders.

"I honestly don't know what compelled my mother to name me that, but she did. My surname is Lawliet." L informed him.

"Law...liet. Sounds like a surname made for a detective that fights crime." Light pondered outloud, then smirked at L. The elder male huffed shaking his head a little and leaned forward delivering a kiss onto Lights lips that was happily received. After a few moments L, not detaching himself from Light, pushed his laptop that he had been working on the the foot of the bed and proceeded to push Light down and placed himself between the brunettes long legs.

"Perhaps," L began pulling but a miniscule distance away from Light's lips. "But this detective finds that he has something in dire need of investigating." He stated while one of his hands trailed down Lights body. The younger gave a chuckle and smirked at the elder.

"Investigate away, Mr. Detective."

AN: And this brings a conclusion to this story. I may write a sequel, I don't know. I wanted to bring in Mello and Near and show just how close L and Light have gotten over time. And to bring up the subject of who names their child L, of all things!? Unique, yeah, but you kind of have to hate your child to name them that of things. Anyway this is a little shorter than usual but I like the ending.

My Poll is still up and running for those one shots, it is in my profile.

Please review, tell me how much you liked (or hated) the story! I am here to listen.
