AN: Cutesy L x Raito scene that I wrote up a while ago and posted on a DN LJ community. I figured it wouldn't hurt to post it here, too. XP

Candy is Dandy

The clock read 3:34 AM in bold, red letters. The girl was back on her floor and the rest of the team had already left for home ages ago. It was just the two of them working alone in amicable silence, diligently scouring the pages for further clues regarding the faceless killer.

A wrapper crackled, breaking the quiet atmosphere. He placed the chocolate coated piece of candy on his tongue and savoured the perfect taste and texture as it melted in his mouth. He was in pure, unadulterated bliss.

But, as all good things come to an end, so did this moment of heaven.

The chain between them rattled as he frantically searched for more sweets. Where were they? He was absolutely certain he had another bag, or ten, stashed somewhere among the various piles of documents the investigation team had examined earlier that day. He made a move for the other table, but his right wrist met resistance and jerked him back.

He heard the only other person present get up from a chair and pad over. "What is it? Did you find a clue?" Through his heightened senses due to glucose withdrawal, he noticed a slight slur in the words.

As if something was impeding the younger man's ability to enunciate.

"Say," he began thoughtfully, his back facing the other. "Have you seen a bag of chocolate lying around?"

"You mean this one?" He whirled around and saw the pack with the familiar brand name being held out. It was flattened and upside down, and no sugary goodness was tumbling out.

In short, it was empty.

"Sorry, I had no idea it was the last one." There was a pause and he heard something clicking on molars. "If it's that much of a problem, I could phone my father in the morning and ask him to pick up another package for you."

"Not good enough."

"...Pardon?"

"I need something sweet, otherwise my ability to dissect crucial information is halved." The statement was obviously an exaggeration, but he didn't care. He needed his candy fix. Sensing the confusion coming from the one he was bound to, he chose the moment to make his move.

He reached up and placed his hand on the back of the brown-haired man's neck, the cold metal brushing against skin, causing a flinch. "H-hey, what are you !" The protest was cut off as he pressed their lips together.

He felt the body in front of him stiffen considerably. His tongue flickered out, eliciting a sharp gasp from the man he was assaulting. Using this opportunity, he forced his way into the other man's mouth, probing around until he found exactly what he had suspected was there.

Before drawing back completely, he licked across the pair of lips he'd just finished attacking, and the corners of his mouth lifted upwards.

Sweet.

"R-Ryuuzaki!" Looking thoroughly violated, his late-night companion sputtered and backed away as far as the chain attaching them allowed.

He wiped his chin with the back of his left hand and held the piece of candy between his teeth to show as an explanation.

The shock on the other's face quickly dissolved into a glare. "You could've just asked."

"I know, Raito-kun." He gave an ambiguous smile.

He would have to remember to tell Watari to buy more candy for him tomorrow.
