Death doesn't scare me [L x Reader] • Death Note

Chapter 55 | trial

Sitting in a courtroom, a highly secure one that is, you were exhausted. This trail had been going on four hours, almost all day at this point. But with a case as congealed as Kira you expect it to take a hot minute. L had been on and off the stand all day presenting evidence to the judge. Light and Misa both sat seperate, cuffed and looking miserable.

This trail was a bitch to put together. You needed Japan's best judge, an unbiased jury sworn to secrecy, no media whatsoever, the best lawyers Japan had to offer and the whole taskforce there. L wouldn't be revealing his face to a random jury he'd never met before in case they leaked his appearance, so you'd equipped him with a kitsune mask. And since this was a high profile trail you had to dress up for it, L wasn't too pleased when you stuffed him in a tailed suit. He hasn't dressed formal since your wedding day. You donned one of your classic black dresses but this one was more neat than your usual kind. Long, silky and form fitting. If there was one thing L liked about this mess of a trail it was getting to see you in a fancy dress.

The only other ones allowed in the courtroom was the Yagami family, the remaining Amane family was offered but due to Misa being a public figure they opted not to attend to not cause suspicion about Misas 'early retirement due to health concerns'.

You'd been in this courtroom for how long now? 6 hours? 7 hours? You had no idea. You wouldn't be surprised if the trail bled into tomorrow or the day after with how big a case it was really.

By now you'd gotten through presenting evidence and a timeline, Light had attempted to defend himself, Misa had just finished giving her statement against Light and asking for a plea deal. A deal she'd be getting thanks to L pulling strings.

It seems the shinigami in the courtroom were just as bored as you were, in theory a Kira trail seemed thrilling but there was just so much talking.

The next part was L taking the stand again to rebut Lights defence and prove he was mentally sound at the time of the crimes. Everyone could tell he had a raging god complex, but he absolutely wasn't dissociated, drunk or high during the crimes so he couldn't plead insanity. L had to prove that now.

As much as you loved to listen to the beautiful voice of your husband, you were so damn tired. Maybe it was a pregnancy side effect, but you were a lot more drowsy than usual today. Then again you didn't get much sleep preparing for this trail at all, so maybe it was that.

The long boring trail was suddenly stopped when your phone played its ringtone of the Dracula organs. Normally there'd be no phones in the courtroom, but given the case it was allowed for the taskforce to have them on in a case of a late development.

Everyone looked at you and you sighed as you pulled your phone from your bag, and seeing who it was you decided to take it.

"Excuse me a moment. Continue without me" you said.

Under the mask L was a little confused who'd be calling you during a trail but he had to focus on said trail. So he turned back to the judge and continued his statement as you stepped out. Picking up the call, you were met with a familiar hyper voice.

"(Y/N)! You picked up! Is it true there's a trail happening? Does that mean L will be back soon?"

"Woah, slow down Matt. First of all, hi" you laughed.

"Right, hi. Mello and Near are here too by the way" he replied.

"Hi!"

"Hey (y/n)"

The voices of the three on the other end of the phone made you smile. You hadn't heard of them for a while during the case. All contact with wammys was temporarily cut for their own safety from Kira. But now the trail was almost over it was connected again. L's 2nd generation of successors had come into the orphanage very young around the time you and L were in your late teens.
