Cold tea [Light Yagami x female y/n]

Charapter seven - date & investigation

I woke up, still in my bathrobe and despite the good weather outside I still felt like yesterday, maybe even worse.
Luckily I haven't got any classes that day so I could just lay around all day.
Whereas I was laying in my bed, trying to chill out I reached for my phone when I saw some missed calls from Light.
Fuck.
Those stupid tapes. I groaned just from thinking that I have to get up but I really wanted to give it to him.

I thought why would he need them during the pleasant time of me locking the door and going into the cold winter wind.
The ends of scarf wrapped around my neck were flying around as well as my hair. It was indeed mess of a weather but I was able to get to Yagami's.

I knocked on the door and waited as the brown haired boy answered. "Hi y/nn~ Are you okay? It sure is cold outside, come in" he said as he gestured me to get into the living room.
I took my coat off and handed him the tapes. "Well aren't you the sweetest." He smiled and put it next to the kitchen table.

"Shall we play something now? What about uno?" He said fast and I nodded.

He put the package onto the table and gave seven cards to both of us.
I looked at my quite alright cards and went to investigate what he's got by staring into his eyes.
He looked like a blank piece of paper, no expression whatsoever.
I started putting card by card onto the table and when I had the last two cards and he had just one, put on a smirk on my face.

I had some random card and 'plus four' one. I hand out the better one and evilly smiled on him.
He smiled back and with softly saying uno uno handed out his last card - which was unfortunately 'plus four' as well.

I threw my last card into his face, crossed my arms and cried: "Ah, I hate this game so bloody much!"
He laughed at me and said: "It's so entertaining seeing you get mad over such a small thing like uno. You just hate to lose that much that you don't even get it yourself"
I felt attacked because it was true, I've always hated to lose, in anything. I'm terrible at this but I can't let my guard down, no?
"I let you win, I wouldn't lose if I actually tried to." I said, only to get sarcastic 'sure' from Light. Then he just hugged me and we ate some leftover noodles.

We were watching movie afterwards and I was remembering the meeting with L.
Every time I'm around Light I just forget about everything.
My problems too. But it all started to popping into my head, once again. It's funny actually, that I was having fun just some time ago and now falling into misery once again.

I didn't want to start crying and figured out that telling him would be probably the best thing to do now.

"Um Light?" I said while pulling his sleeve. "What is it y/n?" "Well uh, I met L yesterday.." I got out of myself and looked at the ground.

"Oh really?" He said, quite shocked. I nodded and continued: "he told me his evidence and suspicions. I-it made me really unsure.." I stuttered, scared that he might not take well the fact that I'm questioning the truth that he told me.
"Hey, hey it's okay." He said while hugging me from the side and continued; "he's a detective, so he sure has his ways of influencing people to think... well to think his own truth. But as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you and there's no way in hell I am Kira so it's just a matter of time until L gives up on me and hunts down the actual one." He smiled at me and I felt sure again.
Hah, how foolish I was to think that my boyfriend might be a mass murderer.
I'm just stupid. I leaned onto his shoulder and enjoyed the rest of the movie that was playing on the tv.

"So, what do you say on a little date tomorrow? We haven't hung out like that in a while and I'd love to spend more time with you" he whispered in my ear.
I could feel every word that came out of his mouth on my skin, my cheeks pink as I nodded and smiled. He pulled me closer and kissed me so gently and so full of love that I couldn't possibly miss that.

How possibly could this boy be the most feared criminal?

~the next day, third person pov~

As the couple sat into the restaurant's terrace and ordered Light was about to start conversation but y/n's phone rang.
She quickly apologized and answered it only to hear now, familiar monotonous voice.

"Ryuzaki?" The girl said while looking at Light's slightly surprised face.
"Hello y/n, I know this is sudden but I'd like you to help us in the hq. We'd like you to cooperate with us on the Kira case, you can come with Yagami. He shall get here today anyways, is that okay with you?" L said and y/n anxiously looked on Light's unsure expression. She agreed after a moment of silence and after L specifying the meeting hung up the phone.
"What did he say?" asked the boy and looked confused on y/n. "He wants me to help in the hq." She said while looking into his eyes.

"Why so suddenly?" He questioned but knew that L was a mister in these weirdly sudden surprises. "I don't know" the girl replied, even more confused than Light.

~reader's pov~

"Well whatever, guess Ryuzaki wants you to take on his side for good. But let's not talk about it now, it would be a shame if this little inconvenience ruined our wonderful date, right?" He said, widely smiling at me. "Yeah, I guess so." I said before ordering.

I got some Caesar salad and Light some weird thing that had shrimps on top of it. Not a good sight.
"What is that? It looks like someone dumped a trashcan into your plate. Are you sure that it is edible?" I said while giggling but being severely disgusted at once.
"Tch, you just can't even recognize a seafood salad. It's a gourmet food, educate yourself" he said like he was so important and dug into it. He made a strange face of 'enjoyment' and proceeded to eat the whole thing. I also ate my, absolutely delicious salad and drank the rest of my lemonade.
We payed and left the restaurant, not so long after we sat under a tree on a wooden bench and looked into the city.
It was rather calm, and although it was time for a lots of people to finish their shifts and come back to their homes, there wasn't much of them.
We were just talking about stuff, when Light suddenly said: "Oh shit, y/n we were supposed to be in the hq like an hour ago" "Oh, I completely forgot about that!" I cried as I stood up from the bench and run along the street with Light beside me.

We rushed there in about ten minutes, which is pretty impressive since my running ability is absolutely terrible.
"Ryuzaki, we're sorry that we came late, we..." Light said while I was still catching my breath.
"...were on a date." Finished L as he ate a bite of his cake.
"How'd you know? Are you perhaps spying on us?" Said Light, mad but trying to hold his
'rage' in. "No, I just assumed" L said and took Light with him to something that looked like a computer room.

I was left in the main room, not knowing what to do.
The only left people in there were two other officers; Usui and Matsuda, they looked rather similar, only Usui was taller and had more slender face than the other.
I walked towards them and asked: "What am I doing here? Ryuzaki insisted to have me here but I have no idea why." Matsuda looked at Usui and he looked at me. "Well, I personally think that he just wants you here so you don't do anything reckless. Although he trusts you, he thinks that Light might not have the best influence on you, or that you'd do something not too smart." He said calmly and stared into my eyes.
"What? So I don't do anything reckless? What the hell does that mean?" I said quite angrily, while impatiently waiting for him to respond.

"You know, our prime suspect is Light so if he's Kira-" he said but I didn't let him finish.
"He's not. And I'm sick of you trying to make him look bad." "Well if he is then it would be troublesome to have you help him and in the worst case have you killed. So I advise you to be less ignorant and actually let us help you and help us with the investigation." He fast answered pretty assertively with anger in his voice.
What an asshole, not knowing how fucking hard it's for me.
I just sat on a couch near by and waited for some miracle to happen.
Matsuda then came to me and handed me a cup of tea, "sorry about that, Usui's really mean to everyone" he said and went back to do whatever he was doing.

I was slowly sipping it and looking around the place, it wasn't too ordinary room, computers here and there, lot of files unorganized on tables and couches for useless bystanders like me.

After like an hour or so Light went from the room and finally fixed my boredom. "Hey y/n, don't you wanna go in here? We have uh news"
I followed him and went to the room. L was sitting on a chair, knees to his chin. "So what is it?" I said while sitting down on the chair next to L.

"It seems like there's second Kira"
