More than just cake - Lawliet x OC -

Not much to say about this chapter, except that I like it better than the last one. And for once I'm only implying Fay had sex, instead of going into the details - gasp! (Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, though. Let me know.)

Thanks guys for reading. A writer is nothing without readers - it is for you that I exist.

Seeing Matsuda shouting to L, telling him to leave them in peace - that was one of the most conflicted moments of Fay's life.

It was so horrible - so goddamn awful that it brought tears to her eyes. Gods - she was so scared that now he was truly gone. That now she would never see him again. That Matsuda drove away the one thing she had ever loved --

But on the other hand.

He did it to protect her.

She had told him that she was being haunted. What he did was the reasonable thing to do, the only thing anyone with their right mind would do, when hearing there was a ghost in the room.

She couldn't blame him for doing that.

It was true that she was exhausted. It had begun to take its toll on her, that she was followed by a ghost all the time now.

Besides - just the fact that she had been able to tell someone about this, felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

He believes me. He doesn't think I'm crazy. He loves me, just the way I am.

If that wasn't a turn on, Fay didn't know what was.

When Matsuda kissed her, she buried her fingers into his hair, that thick, black hair she loved. His lips on hers were so soft, the way he kissed her both gentle and desperate, his hands on her waist pulled her closer and she wanted to give in to him, to lose herself in this kiss, to have him scoop her up to his arms and carry to her room, to make love to her so that she would never again have to think about anything.

She needed for him to be the tree she could lean on, the steady rock under her feet. The one solid thing in the world full of fears and shadows.

His tongue entered her mouth, and she couldn't help a shiver that went through her core. Her lips opened to him, her knees went weak and she could only stay on her feet because his strong arms were holding her steady.

When he finally broke the kiss, they were both short of breath.

He laid his hand on her cheek, his touch warm and gentle. His fingers followed the line of her cheekbone, moved to her lips.

"When is the last time you ate?" he asked then. "I know it's late, but--"

"Why does everyone keep asking me that?" Fay interrupted, slightly annoyed.

"Maybe because you look like you could use a meal?"

Fay gave a sigh. She didn't want food - she wanted sex. But the worried look in Matsuda's eyes told her that maybe he had a point.

"Umm... I don't know? This morning?"

"That's it. No wonder you're seeing ghosts!" Matsuda gave a smile. "You know, I think that ramen place might still be open."

"Are you actually joking about... about this?"

"I might be. But not about the ramen. Come on, I'll buy you a beer too." He waited for a few heartbeats for her to answer, but when she didn't he continued. "I swear, it's just around the corner."
