Coffee

Again with Misa - what is it with me, that I can't get on with the plot and I use all my time to write meaningless chit chat? 

Still, I love Misa. I know, I know, she is a mass murderer and all - but that girl was just so much fun! 

As always, write a comment, please. That's what I'm here for.

"Can you keep a secret?" Fay asked, glancing sideways at Misa who was walking by her side. They were on a shopping tour, walking on a crowded street near the Sunshine City at Ikebukuro. L had no problem letting Misa go out, if someone was there with her - and Fay had no problem going out with Misa.

It had been ages since she'd had a girlfriend, anyways.

Or more likely - she had never had a girlfriend. The only friend she'd ever had was L - and he sure was no girl.

But Misa laughed and clapped her hands in excitement.

"Oh, yay!" she exclaimed. "Misa is very good at keeping secrets."

I bet you are, a thought flashed through Fay's mind. If you're the second Kira, all you do is keep secrets.

"I might have kissed Matsu last night." she confessed.

"Whaaat?!" Misa shrieked. "You mean my manager Matsui? The old creep Matsui?"

"He's not that old!" Fay protested. "He's only a couple of years older than I am."

"Oh, yeah. I forgot that you're older than me. You look so young! What is your secret, anyways?"

"Lots of whisky and sleepless nights?" Fay suggested. "Too much work and no fun? But hey, you're changing the subject."

"Mh. Maybe I don't want to think about you and that guy kissing. Even if he's not old, he's still a creep."

Fay felt offended. Yeah, it had been a mistake to make out with Matsuda, but still!

"I don't think so." she snapped. "I think he's very cute."

"Cute?" Misa eyed her as if she was nuts. "Really? But hey, you do have a weird taste in men. First I thought you had the hots for Ryuzaki... and now Matsu?"

"I can't really help it, can I?"

"You could try." Misa grinned helpfully. "And Misa can help you with it - I have the most handsome and amazing boyfriend in the whole world. Light is perfect. I'm sure I could find someone like that for you too. You know, I am famous. I know a lot of cute guys."

"Umm, thanks but no thanks." Fay made a small laugh. "I think it would be best if I stayed single for awhile. You know, it's not that long ago that I broke up with my boyfriend."

"Oh? You had a boyfriend?"

"Yeah. In France, I used to live there."

Fay turned her attention to a shop window, displaying an insane variety of Hello Kitty items. Wow, she'd had no idea they made Hello Kitty underwear and matching slippers for adults. For a moment she wondered if Césaire would've appreciated her wearing those - but the memory only brought her pain. She pushed his image deep into the furthest corner of her mind, and stuffed her hands deep into the pockets of her comfy jeans.

"Really?" Misa's voice was full of amazement. "A French boyfriend?"

"Yeah."

"Was he very handsome?"
