Universe: Death Note
Characters: L/Near
Rating: PG (for vaguely implied chan)

Happy Birthday, Rabbit and Near!
Love,
Nishi and L

~*~*~

It's not love.

Not that he has any experience with that sort of thing, but he's sure he would know if that's what it was. Of course, love isn't something he can look up in a textbook and diagnose, the way one might for a cold or a heart attack-- not that loving Near would compare to a heart attack, or at least, L doesn't think it would. The point is, he wouldn't know, because it's not love.

No, what L feels when he watches the boy plop down in the middle of the room amidst the huge stacks of presents, and what he feels when Near looks up at him with wide, dark eyes, that isn't love.

It's...

Well, L isn't sure what it is, just like he's not sure what makes him want to smile down at Near and ruffle his hair. And he isn't sure why he does both of those things, or why he crouches down to watch over Near's shoulder while the boy tears the paper off one of the gift boxes.

So maybe...

L tips his head to one side, stares at Near, and thinks maybe he should stop thinking so much. Because even if it's not love, he likes it.

Whatever it is.

This one's 200 words to make up for the fact that I didn't post yesterday.

Title: Lesson
Characters: Soubi/Ritsuka
Rating: PG-13

"It's slimy." Ritsuka wrinkled his nose and stared down at his hands.

Soubi chuckled and wrapped his fingers around Ritsuka's wrist. "You'll get used to it, I promise. Now watch, move your hands up and down like this, just your palms for now."

"I don't think I'm doing it right," Ritsuka replied as he tried to relax his arm and follow Soubi's lead. "Is it supposed to look like that?"

"It's fine," Soubi assured him quietly. "Just play with it for a little while until-- no, now curl your fingers more, like this."

"Oh," Ritsuka breathed, watching Soubi's hand guide his over the slick surface.

"That's it," Soubi murmured. "You're so good at this."

"Am not," Ritsuka replied, but his cheeks and the tips of his ears were burning in response to the praise.

"I like watching you do this," Soubi whispered softly. "You're so cute, even when you're all dirty."

Ritsuka twitched when he felt warm lips on the side of his neck and watched with dismay as the clay that had just started to take shape on the potter's wheel crumpled under his hands. "Told you I'm no good."

"It's okay." Soubi smiled and wiped at a light grey smear on Ritsuka's cheek. "We'll just keep practicing."

Rating: R
Disclaimer: Sadly, they aren't mine.

Summary: It's just sex, that's all.

Author's Notes: I think Ponderosa and Blue Soaring have turned me into a born-again Rufus/Reno shipper. This started as a midnight rant between ldybastet and I, and turned into what it is now.

( It doesn't mean anything... )
