Death Note Gift Fic

It was typically a normal day in late August, cherry blossoms beginning to start the cycle of blooming once more with its pink flowers slowly falling onto the ground. It was bright for a day in Tokyo, as well as always busy with constant chatter and phones ringing in the streets. Yes, a perfect beautiful day.

Perfect, if one didn't have to stay in a twenty three floor facility with your crush being handcuffed to a panda frog hybrid along with your friend being as uncomfortable as you.

You've admired Light Yagami for some time now, ever since you transferred here from America during high school you've always admired and respected him for his intelligence. As well as his kindness and sense of justice. You noticed he didn't talk closely to others as much, but once you did a perfect rebuttal during a debate for class, so eloquently putting his point down and making it obsolete, the both of you have been close ever since. Whether he was impressed with your intelligence or just wanted to become friends with you, you'll never know. Only with you he talks about how horrible the world is and how he wishes that something could be done, that criminals would stop getting away. You didn't mind the look in his eyes when he talked with you about this, you accepted it. Every person has a dark or passionate side after all, including yourself.

You now mind though, that he's now a potential Kira suspect. Really, the prime suspect. And that the potential Second Kira(pretty sure she is, all the evidence points to her) is a stalker that keeps claiming she's Light's girlfriend when Light hasn't even mentioned her once to you. And you guys talk about everything.

No secrets.

Thankfully, she's away filming like the idol she is so you could properly hang out with Light without being glared at and you wondering if you will die of a heart attack every second. As well as without stressing about the case and clearing your close friends name from L—Ryuzaki—the greatest detective in the world.

Who's been building a tower of sugar cubes for the past few minutes as well as staring unblinkingly at you with those dark eyes despite Light's narrowed eyes at him.

"Ryuzaki, can you please stop doing that?" Ah, thank goodness. Your gaze turned toward a ravenette that almost has dark eyes like her detective colleague, but one can see the soft earthy eyes if you look close enough. The both of you have gotten close with this case, her even getting into To-Oh as well(to spy on you too? Like L with Light? Who knows.) and you became fast friends despite the revelation of her being an investigator as well. You didn't mind it from Rin, she's just doing her job.

L slowly blinked, and turned towards the woman next to him on the couch as he sat perched on it like an owl.

"Whatever am I doing? I'm just building a tower. The conversation we were having was getting rather dull, Rin-chan." L turned back towards his tower, putting the sugar cube within his hand atop the tower only for it to fall everywhere. He made a face that can only be described as a pout and sighed. "Guess I have to start over."

Your neutral expression soured as Rin's face fell.

"Ryuzaki," Light sighed, putting his thumb and index finger on both temples to rub,"this truly is unnecessary. You were trying to get a read on (Y/N) and frankly I'd like to ask you to stop. You keep thinking she's involved with Kira, who you keep thinking is me which I'm not. I don't know how many times I have to say this until you get it through your head."

You looked at your crush in concern, this has been weighing on him a lot. The fact that the world's greatest detective keeps vehemently believing he's Kira has made Light lose all respect for L and what he stands for, and has caused a strong mutual dislike between the two. You know he still admires his intelligence though, who wouldn't?

"Maybe this was a bad idea," you said, not turning your eyes away from Light even as he turned towards you in attention, which caused you to blush lightly. "Perhaps we should get back to work on the investigation after all, this whole break thing wasn't very smart of me to suggest."

"What are you talking about?" Rin questioned incredulously, smiling carefully. "We both thought it was a good idea, it's no good stressing all the time. Especially with a case like this. Although, "dark brown eyes glanced to her left at L, who paused in trying to rebuild his sugar tower as he felt Rin's stare and turned his own dark orbs to hers which were in a mock glare. "Some people were already procrastinating this case as is and was just lazing around."

L kept his eyes on Rin, who's semblance of a glare was fading the longer he stared. You observed her cheeks seeming to redden and L turned away back to his sugar cubes.

"Don't act like you won't forgive me of that Rin-chan," L...teased? You frowned at his amused tone. "And really, sarcasm is not the highest form of wit. You're better then that. Here." L placed a cube onto Rin's conveniently open hands. "That'll help."

You observed Rin's eyes slightly widen and her hair hid her face as she bowed her head. She put the cube into her mouth carefully and appeared to be letting it melt, lips twitching upwards.

You don't understand their relationship, at times it seemed like they were only professional colleagues as they helped one another and create all these theories and seeming to finish sentences, their minds appearing to be closely connected. Other times though, there's a tone that comes out from L that is soft. Still composed however, but not his usual stoic self as he talks with Rin about certain mundane things. Your positive his lips quirked up just now as well, something you believed other times was just a trick of the light. He rarely smiles.

But with Rin, as her own voice is like silk and warm with twinkling eyes to match as she looks at the world greatest detective with hunched shoulders, he seems to lose that control on his normally cold expression.

In all though, it seemed that Rin was in the same position as you.

You turned towards Light who was staring at the interaction as well, and gave him a knowing smile. He caught it and did one of his own, reading your thoughts like he always seemed to do. He mouthed the words 'Thank you' to you in reference on you trying your best to get back on the case, knowing you are attempting to clear his name as much as he is. You nodded, pretty sure you were blushing red at his soft caramel eyes on you, and gave a squeeze to his shoulder in comfort. One he gratefully accepted as his hand went over yours that was still upon his shoulders, squeezing in turn.

You might faint. This is too perfect.

"Careful now Light-kun, if Misa-chan came here right now she will think you're cheating on her."

And it's ruined.

Light turned a glare towards L as he released his hold on your hand and you doing the same with his shoulder as you were frowning to yourself. You felt Rin's apologetic look on you for a moment before turning to the genius'.

"I am not cheating. I would have to be dating Misa-San in the first place for me to cheat on anyone."

"Oh. Misa-chan won't like to hear that. And here I thought her daily confessions of her love and devotion to you will finally win you over. Say," L tilted his head at him, black eyes always boring and swallowing everything whole in it's path, "do you think if we tell her that you are it'll push her to show herself as the Second Kira?"

L has got to be joking, you thought. Why does he always seem to like to anger Light?

Light's eyes narrowed even further as he clenched his fists. You really hope another fight doesn't break out and Rin appears to hope the same as she watched with an eagle eye, eyes serious.

"Ryuzaki, that's not funny." Light retorted." If Misa-San really is the Second Kira that would put (Y/N) in danger and at a risk of dying due to Second Kira's powers of only needing a face to kill. And I won't allow that to happen so stop provoking me to prove a point."

"Hm. And what point would that be?"

Light clenched his jaw.

"That since you think I'm Kira, if you push me enough I'll kill you and therefore prove to anyone that you were right."

What? You turned towards L, not realizing that Rin was unsurprised at the observation. Already aware of L's dangerous tactics even though she disapproved of how reckless L can be of his life at times. She'll just have to remind him that people still need him in this world like she always does if he goes too far.

L smirked.

"How astute Light-kun, as always. Yes, that's why I like to push Light-kun even though you seem to have patience of a saint, outside of that punch you threw at me a few weeks ago which I returned with a kick. Ah." L paused, putting his index finger in his mouth. "Perhaps I should say patience of a god?"

You realizing that Light will probably throw another punch at the detective, reached his hand and squeezed. Light turned towards you, and then at their hands. A beat of silence passed and Light sighed. He relaxed against the couch and readjusted your hand, intertwining them as he breathed deeply to calm down with closed eyes as you spoke softly to him in whispers.

Rin, also wanting to stop the detective from furthering pushing the young teen, brushed her hand through spiky yet soft black hair. L froze for a moment, glancing up at her only for Rin's brown eyes to give him a mere look and a shake of the head with a patient smile.

'Not worth it.'

L frowned, not stopping her from slowly massaging his head in a careful controlled manner that slowly made him relax his shoulders.

'This case is worth everything. I must solve it.'

His eyes spoke, determined and always that cool onyx that calmed her each time Rin would look at it. That would sometimes glitter like stars in the dark night sky, always capturing her attention. Like the day she first saw him all those years ago.

Her smile softened, knowing he could do it. He could do anything. Her hand continued to brush his hair in a rhythmic pattern, while the other carefully brushed his forehead.

'I know you will.'

The detective eye's did not stray from hers for a few moments, and then his shoulders finally released their tension, bagged eyes turning half lidded in a perfect appearance of calm. Trusting her as she continued to brush her fingers against his hair and massaging it, allowing her to continue to touch him familiarly with her smiling in happiness at this. With L only peering at her, his own lips twitching upwards as he let her do what he wants as his always rapidly thinking mind began to slow.

You stopped whispering in Light's ears, him chuckling about your words about frog men and glanced at Rin, who glanced at you.

A flash of mischief were in both of your eyes, as your happy smiles quirked into knowing smirks.

'All according to keikaku.'

The both of you then turned back to giving attention to your crushes who frowned for a few seconds at the lack of attention, only to turn back to becoming pleasant.
