More than just cake - Lawliet x OC -

Lollipop

Finally we're getting somewhere! I can't wait to hear what you thought of this chapter, guys! I I love L so much, even if he is a jerk sometimes.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the dates in the beginning of every chapter come from the manga. I do try to follow that timeline.

Mid August, 2004

"Pling!"

Fay woke up to the sound her laptop made, when someone sent her an email.

She yawned, rolled to her side and checked the time. 2:07 am. Great. She knew that at this time it could only be one person, and if it was him, it was important.

She stretched, sat up and pulled the laptop to her lap.

"Fay." the email said. "Are you awake?"

She yawned, and shook her head to clear her thoughts.

"I am now." she typed. "What is it?"

"I need to talk to you."

Her heart skipped a beat. That was the most intimate thing he had said to her in these few weeks she had spent here. He needed to talk to her. It was 2 am, and he was awake, thinking about her. Needing her. Just that thought was enough to make her lose her balance.

She answered swiftly.

"I'm here. Go ahead."

It felt like eternity to wait for the answer, but it arrived after only a few seconds.

"There are many things we must discuss, but we cannot do that now. I know it is difficult, but you must be patient."

"Alright." Fay typed. "I can do that."

She rolled her eyes to herself. Yeah, right. Patience, her strongest trait - or not. But she could be patient, for L, if she had to. At least she'd had enough practice in that.

The next answer took a bit longer to arrive

"Good. I cannot speak freely with you, as long as I am tied to Light-kun. You must watch your words around him as well. He is extremely intelligent, and he remembers everything he notices, even the slightest things. You can never let your guard down, when he is around. But even if this is hard, you must understand how important it is, that I keep him close."

A small pause.

"Do you understand, Fay?"

She nodded, even if no one was there to see her.

"Yes, I understand." she wrote. "What else do you need?"

He answered quickly.

"I keep my eyes on Light, but you can help too. I need you to get close to Misa Amane, and if possible, befriend her. I am almost certain, that she is, or was, the second Kira. She did not confess during the days of confinement, so it is unlikely that you get much out of her, but even the smallest thing can be of importance."

Fay gave a long sigh. So, he needed her to become a spy for him. Well, it wasn't the first time. That didn't mean she had to like it, though. Spending time with someone like Misa.... well, Fay suspected it would be burdensome.

"Alright." she replied, frowning. "Will do."

A longer silence followed her comment. For a few minutes, Fay stared at the laptop screen, it's bluish light hurting her tired eyes.

Finally she couldn't take it anymore.

"Ryuzaki." she wrote. "Are you still there?"

A short moment.
