Author's note: My first ever try at writing something fictional. I hope you will enjoy it. I'll try to update it every day but can't promise anything.

Chapter 1

Being chained up to L isn't exactly a dream come true for Yagami Light - it's not that there is someone specific he would prefer to be stuck with for 24 hours a day; he is a guy who enjoys being alone rather than having company - but of all the people in the world L is probably one of the worst candidates.

The youth is constantly munching on cakes, sweets or cookies all while drinking coffee or tea with loads of sugar in it, which means that wherever L goes, piles of plates follow.

As do spoons, tea cups, candy wrappings and crumbles. And, at the moment, so do Light.

Light who likes things tidy, neat and clean. Light who enjoys silence has to constantly listen to forks scraping plates and spoons clinking against mugs.

Yes, L is without doubt one of the worst people Yagami Light could be chained to.

All Light can do to is try to make the time he has to spend with L and his sugary companions as pleasurable and non-confrontational as possible.

He tries not to get annoyed with the tea sipping and the scraping of plates in the middle of the night when he wants to sleep but it's not always easy.

Luckily Light is nothing if not in control of his feelings and therefore manages to simply turn his back to the other boy and grit his teeth instead of shouting at him to go to bed.

He can none the less feel his sanity slowly leaving his ever controlled self and is worried that he might have some sort of angry outburst sooner rather than later.

At the moment he keeps the shouting in his head; these days it's the only place that he doesn't have to share with L. Well, at least not at night.

During the days Light's mind is at the mercy of the detective.

They spend their time in the room known as Headquarters where they together with the three police officers - one of them is Light's father - twist and turn every bit of information in an attempt to make sense of the mysterious Kira.

L probes Light with questions, questions which he has no problem answering only to eloquently return equally difficult questions for L to try and find a plausible answer to.

The only thing the three police officers can do is stare at the two of them, in awe of how their - seemingly complicated - minds work.

This is how Light and L pass their days, chained together, two great minds trying to catch the elusive killer.

For obvious reasons, Light finds it hard to get used to the fact that L has accused him of being Kira.

Light constantly ponders what his actions would be if he somehow came across Kiras means of killing. He admires murderer in a way, believes they are doing a good thing.

Instead of killing for money or power they are taking out dangerous people, murderers and rapists. They are making life safer for the rest of the population.

Light has a strong sense of justice and can't wait to join the police after he finishes university but he doesn't think he would feel comfortable judging people the way Kira does, without a trial and proper witnesses.

And to add to the equation; by killing criminals Kira has turned themselves into a killer and should by their own standards be killed.

Being chained up with L is never easy, but it is especially hard during the night for more reasons than Light thought at first.

To make sure both he and L, who hardly never sleeps, are comfortable they have put a bed and a sofa right next to each other, the sofa with its back to the bed.

This allows L to sit up in his strange position and watch different screens all night without Light being too bothered by the flickering glow.

In order for L to be able to reach snacks and beverages with his hand, Light has to sleep on his stomach.

This is something he loathes doing but doesn't complain about it, complaining is just something he doesn't do. In this regard he and L are very alike.
