Unexpected

H'S P.O.V.

I was curled up on my bed with the door locked in a blanket burrito on my phone. I was looking up love phrases while being my depressing self, and came across one.

"Mamihlapinatapai.... A look shared by two people, each wishing that the other would initiate something they both desire but which neither wants to begin... Well that's kind of it... But I guess Light is right. We have the skinniest love ever..." I turned my phone off and hid my face in a pillow, drowning in my thoughts.

I stayed there for a few minutes before there was a knock on the door. "H? Please tell me you're in there." It was L. I kept quiet and kept still. He rattled the door handle to find it locked. "I don't know if she's in there." L sounded panicky. "Just check your tracker." Light said. "It doesn't say anything. Her phone must be turned off." L now sounded nervous.

"Yeah, you really screwed up this time." Light said. "This isn't funny Light! She didn't let me finish! I need to tell her." L sighed.

That's right. I didn't let him finish what he was going to say at the café. I just walked out. Oh well, he was probably going to say something like "it didn't matter, but it was a nice kiss" or something.

Soon they walked away into their room and I silently broke down into my pillow.

God, I hate feelings. But you know what? Six more days and this is over. We've just got to find Kira. After that, back to Japan where I can hide in my room all day.

I cleaned my face up and sat up, deciding to take a shower to wash all of my cares away. After that, Batman marathon, motherfuckers.

L'S P.O.V.

We heard movies playing in H's room, so she was definitely in there. She just refused to answer us. Answer me.

After a few hours it was completely silent. "I've got a key of you want to go see her." Light spoke up. "Oh, now you tell me you've got a key to her room?" "Yeah." "Give me the key." I said and he handed me a card.

I went over and let myself in. She was passed out on the bed with three batman movies surrounding her. I cleaned up around her and sat down, watching her and playing with her hair. She smiled in her sleep and moved a bit closer to my hand.

H is so beautiful. Not just when she sleeps, she's beautiful in general. When she's happy, when she's pissed, when she's acting insane, when she's eating sweets, when she's being her childish self. She's always so beautiful and I want her for myself before anyone else can have her.

We were still a little ways into summer, and I wanted her to be mine by the end of this week.

I suddenly got a crazy idea. I leaned down so my lips brushed her ear. "That kiss meant the world to me. I would absolutely love it if I could kiss you everyday for the rest of my life." I whispered and leaned down a bit more and kissed her cheek.

I stroked her hair one last time before getting up and walking out.

Too bad she'll never know.
