Not even death: L x reader

Chapter 5: Almost a date

Chapter 5:

I sat in the same dark room as I did before. Images of L, a tennis racket in hand, and Light, armed with a racket as well, flashed across the screen. L wanted me to continue monitoring his meetings with Light. He hadn't warned me he planned to test the boy in a tennis match, but I had to say it was very entertaining to watch.

"Game set! Won by Light Yagami!" Called out a teacher.

"Boo.." I mumbled, disappointed. After finishing up their game, Light invited L out to get a drink at a near my càfe. L wasn't expecting to head to the càfe with Light, and hadn't set up any cameras there, meaning I could no longer watch them, but the bugs were still in place, hidden in L's cloths, I could hear every word they said just fine. I wish I could've been there, it'd been a while since I'd gone to nice càfe.

"Thanks for showing me this place. I can see why you like it" L said, I could tell by the slight muffle he had a finger or thumb stuck in his mouth.

"Luckily, we're so out of way no one can over hear us, or give you a hard time about the way you sit" Light said.

"I don't sit like this because I want to, I have to sit like this. You see, if I were to sit any other way my deductive stills would immediately be reduced by roughly 40%" explained L. Ah, and here I thought he was just a frog person.

"Wait, so you're not just a frog person?" Light echoed my thoughts exactly.

"No? What are you on about?" The detective didn't seem to understand, and changed the subject back to the original matter at hand.

"You said you wanted to ask me something. What is it?"

"Well let's save that for after you're sure I'm not Kira" I couldn't help but wonder what it is he wanted to ask, but it looks like I wouldn't be getting an answer. L then produced to test light, Although i couldn't see anything, L's examination what enough for me to understand that Light was indeed as intelligent as L thought.

"Welcome back," I greeted as the scrawny detective returned he from his little outing with Light.

"Hello,"

"You did really great at the tennis match!" I reassured him.

"Thank you"

"Hey uh, do you know what coffee shop Light took you too? I couldn't see it from the cameras" L nodded.

"Yes I believe he said the name. Why? Has it peeked you're interest?" He questioned, to which i nodded in response.

"It's been a while since i've been to càfe, so I was kinda hoping I could go there sometime to just relax or something, ya know?" He didn't really know, but nodded again anyways.

"I'd be happy to take you there if you'd like. The others won't be back for a while anyways" he said.

"Really?"

"My treat"

L lead me to the back of the coffee shop, and I felt butterfly's begin to fill my stomach. Me and L alone at a coffee shop together. It was almost like a date. I tried to brush the thought away, after all he probably didn't this was anything out of the ordinary, to him I wasn't really much more then an employee.

"Order anything you like" he said, as my eyes scanned the menu in front of me. When the Waiter asked for our orders, I simply requested a chocolate muffin, and coffee. L on the other hand, had wanted Strawberry cheese cake, several different flavors of cookies, an ice-cream Sunday, and Both a strawberry cupcake, and banana cupcake. Not that it was much of a surprise, I'd  gotten used to his eating habits by now.

"Tell me," he said, his words muffled by the cake in his mouth.

"What are your thoughts of Light Yagami? These others seem to think it's unfair I suspect him, I would understand if you did as well" he spoke quietly. I honestly wasn't sure how I was suppose to feel. I wanted to tell L I believed in him no matter what but there wasn't really any physical proof that Light could be Kira. However every L had said in his quest to prove Light was Kira held up well enough.

"Ryuzaki, I think you should keep looking into him" I finally said.

"Oh?"

"The truth is, we don't have any proof he isn't Kira so, we can't just rule him out" I said.

"I suppose that's a Fair answer" he said. I thought about changing the subject, after all who knew when I'd get to be with L alone again, why waist it the time talking about Kira?

"Hey L can I ask you something?" I decided to at least try.

"Yes, I suppose"

"What's your favorite color?" My face instantly lit up pink. His favorite color?? Was that really all you could think of?? I metal scolded.

"Oh!" Like myself, L was fought off guard by the question.

"I've never been asked a personal question such as that.. however if i had to choose, I enjoy blue, darker shades specifically, and white" He responded with an almost childlike wonder in his voice. Maybe it wasn't that bad of a question after all.

"I'm assuming you like (Favorite color)?" He then questioned.

"Oh, Yeah! How did you-" he let out a small, chuckle, causing me to smile as well, seeing L happy was a rare but beautiful sight.

"I'm a detective, remember? Although most the cases I take on are more complicated and brutal, I can still pick up on those sorts of small details as well" He explained. I blushed, a little embarrassed.

"Well don't I look stupid, as a detective I guess I should pick up on those kind of things too" I said, half joking.

"There's not need to feel that way. You are still an excellent detective in your own way. Besides you have many things that I don't possess" he said.

"Heh, really?" He nodded.

"Yes. You are able to understand people and work well with others, that is something I may never learn to do properly. Besides, you are much more appealing to the eyes then I am" L's tone of voice was casual, as he explained.

"A-appealing?"

"Indeed. I confess, the number of females I have worked with is limited, but of them you contained the most physical beauty. I've thought as much ever since our first case together.." My heart began to race, I'd never imaged I'd be getting complimented by him.

"Ryuzaki, I-" I was cut off by a beeping sound. L held out his phone using only his thumb and a finger.

"You'll have to hold that thought, I must take this" He listened carefully to the caller, his eyes widening slightly as he did.

"(Y/N), I'm afraid your not going to like this news" L said, as he returned his phone to his baggy pocket.

"It seems Cheif Yagami has suffered a heart attack"
