Forgotten memories (L Lawliet x reader)

L #5

5 weeks have finally concluded and you can walk now without any crutches. You were at the hospital right now for a final follow-up checkup when you received an unexpected phone call.

Your father had a heart attack and was now admitted at the city hospital. You slowly walk out of the building and once finally outside, you start panicking. You quickly call a cab and rush to the city hospital where your father was.

Upon arriving you notice that both your mother and Sayu are already here. You walk over to your father who was laying in the hospital bed with a few tubes attached to him.
"(Y/n)...hello dear" Yagami says as he smiles weakly at you. You try your best to not cry and you succeed in doing so.
"Dad...you need to take care of yourself! how can you let this happen?" You tell your father while acting playfully angry and he just smiles. Looking around you notice Light is not here yet, perhaps he is on his way.

Your thoughts were interrupted as Light bursts through the door. All heads turn towards Light's direction who ran over to the hospitalized man in the middle of the room with a worried expression. You were so engulfed in your father's words as he talked to Light, you didn't notice when someone came and stood behind you.

Your father looked behind you and then at you and your mother and sister.
"Sachiko, (Y/n), Sayu this is Ryuzaki" your father said as he gestured towards the man behind you. You look over and see a tall man hunched on his back with long messy hair and prominent eye bags, he was wearing a plain white baggy t-shirt and baggy jeans with sneakers. A really odd man. Something about him caught your eye, you couldn't put your finger to it but it felt like you've 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 him somewhere before.

Your thoughts were interrupted as the rather strange man started speaking.
"It's nice to meet you all, I'm Light's friend!" he said in an almost forced friendly tone, you could tell he doesn't always talk like this.You looked over at Light who looked back at you and as if you both communicated through your eyes, you knew this man was not Light's friend as he claimed. Your mother and sister introduced themselves to him and out of politeness you did too.

"Ah it's getting late, Sachiko you should take the girls home" your father told your mother who nodded and told him to take care of himself before she got up from her seat. You and Sayu also got up, although you wanted to stay longer you knew your father wanted to talk in private with 'Ryuzaki' so you thought to just go home for now.

Just as you were about to leave, Ryuzaki spoke up.
"I think miss (Y/n) should stay for a little while, right Light?" Ryuzaki said as he nudged Light's shoulder a little.
"Yeah Nee-chan and I will come home together, you guys can go" Light said almost reluctantly. Soon enough your mother and sister were gone after saying their goodbyes to everyone.

Suddenly an awkward silence fell in the room, Ryuzaki sat on a stool next to the hospital bed and Light followed so you sat next to Light. You couldn't help but notice Ryuzaki sat in an usual manner, his legs were up to his chest and his back was hunched, his hands resting on his knees. That didn't look comfortable at all.

"I haven't introduced myself properly to you miss (Y/n)" Ryuzaki said in a deep monotone voice that sent shivers down your spine, you had guessed that he would sound like this but it just felt so..intimidating.

He looked at you and said
"I'm L". He said still looking at you in a calculating manner as he extended his hand for a handshake while you just looked at his rather pale hands.
"We meet again agent (Y/n)" he continues in his deep monotone voice as he smiles a little at you. You slowly pull your hands up to meet his. His grasp felt so warm, not just in a physical way but mentally too. It felt so nice you couldn't understand why, you felt kind of sad too perhaps it's because you don't remember working with him but he does or was it something else.

Light looked at you two with squinted eyes, he didn't like the thought of his beautiful Nee-chan marrying this guy.

"I believe you already know that we had worked together in a few cases, correct?"
"I-yes but.." Before you could finish, L spoke up again.
"I am aware that you have lost your memories of the last four years miss (Y/n)"
You nodded as you listened to him as he continued
"I have asked for you to stay behind so I could ask you this... Miss (Y/n) would you like to join the taskforce and work on yet another case with me?"
Your father seemed to jolt up at L's words "RYUZAKI YOU CAN'T-"
"Chief Yagami I am well aware of my own actions, your daughter is highly intelligent and she's one of the few agents whom I trust.. I believe she will be of great help that is if she wants to"
He continued
"Miss (Y/n) I won't be forcing you but I will be rushing you since we don't have much time... I'd expect an answer from you by day after tomorrow and yes we will be working on the Kira case" he said in his deep monotone voice, he talked as he already knew what your answer was going to be.

"Nee-chan you don't have to do this-"
"Oh right, Light will also be joining the task force" L interrupted Light rather rudely. "And Light is a Kira suspect" he finished nonchalantly.
"You can't just say that in front of my dad at least!" Light said frustrated however both you and your father had an unamused look, your father already knew his son was a Kira suspect because he's working on the case alongside L, you however had a bunch that Light could be Kira because you could see right through him.

"L.. I have decided that I will work on the Kira case with 𝘺𝘰𝘶" you told L who didn't seem surprised by your answer.
"As expected...I'd like it if you started from tomorrow along with Light, if that is possible" L or Ryuzaki said in his monotone voice.
"Nee-chan...its dangerous" Light seemed disappointed. You just Pat his back as a response as L speaks up again.
"Don't worry Light, I will personally assure miss (Y/n)'s safety and please refer to me as 'Ryuzaki' from now on"
You just nod your head in response as Light does the same. Before any of you can say anything further a nurse comes in the room and informs you all that the visiting hours are over. So you all say your goodbyes to your father and leave the room together.

Light and L were talking about something, you weren't paying attention that well. Soon enough you all were out of the hospital and on the road.

A fancy black car pulled up in front of you all, you guessed it was L's ride and you were correct.

"I hope to see you both tomorrow" L said plainly in his usual monotone voice as he turned around and disappeared into the car.

You and Light decided to walk home and chat for a while. You were quite excited, you were going to work on a case after so long although you have no memories of it...perhaps working with L again will jog your memories a little.
