Forgive me

My shadow

I stood in the kitchen with a surprised look on my face. I knew exactly what L was trying to do. He was a very smart man indeed. He was using the "best friend" card to get close to me. I sighed with a small smile painted on my face as I ran the water to do dishes.

"I love when you hum..." I heard a low voice say from behind me. I jump a bit from the sudden broken silences. I looked over my shoulder at the one and only. "H-how long have you been there?" I asked awkwardly. I've been doing the dishes for about 10 minutes already. "Not long..." He trailed off and repositioned himself on the chair. I smiled at his choice in sitting. He rested his hands on his knees as a small smile pulled at his lips. "I missed you." He spoke as if he read my mind. I wanted to glare at him but instead I flashed a smile and turned back around to finish the dishes. "Did you not miss me Y/n?" He asked almost with a smirk. I froze for a minute. "Why is he asking this?" I thought to myself before starting to scrub a plate again. "Why do you ask?" I reply casually. "I believe I have the right to know." He said matter of fact like. "Oh? How so?" I chuckled. I heard the chair being pushed against the wood and weight against the floor broads before I saw both his hands on either side of me. I leaned up and my back was pressed against his chest. I refused to turn around and face him. Instead I ignored him and continued washing dishes. "I'm sure friends don't stand this close to friends." I state. "What about best friends?" He questioned seriously. "Nope..sorry." I laughed. I heard him sigh and move away from me, leaning against the corner next to me. He crossed his arms and starred at me. "If I may add...I don't think you're being fair." He pouted. I chuckled at his cuteness. "You're not being fair." I whined. "That's ridiculous, quite frankly I believe I'm being completely fair." He replied. I rolled my eyes and started on another dish. "Must you roll your eyes?" He smirked. "Yes." I looked at him briefly before returning my gaze to the dirty dishes. "Do not roll your beautiful eyes at me Y/n." He seemed to say like a teasing warning. I tried to hold back a blush. "He's trying to get me to crack, to give in to him. He's flirting with me to speed up the process of us being together." I thought to myself. "L, I'm not one of your little suspects. I'm not going to give in with a little flirting." I smirk and once again briefly look at him and back down. He's eyes widen like I just found out his secret. He then settles in again and chuckles a bit mischievously. "Y/n, you are quite imaginative, you really think I'd try to make you crack? That's something one might find quite funny." He smirked and kept a mischievous flirty tone. "Call me a joker then, but I won't crack." I shrugged and pulled the plug to drain the water. As I was drying my hands, I felt arms snake around my waist and L buried his head in the crook of my neck. "You're very stubborn." He whispered against my skin. I felt myself blushing and I just froze. "Perhaps we'll just see what's to come..." He trailed off before slowly unraveling his arms from me. He slowly began to walk away and I leaned my hands against the corner with a bit of shock. Before L left the kitchen he stopped at the doorway. "We should go for a walk today...fresh air is greatly needed for the brain to function." He stated like what he did 5 seconds ago never happened. I swallowed nervously. "Uh...yeah, okay sounds nice...two friends...on a walk." I smiled wide. He returned the smile and walked out.

L was really starting to get bothersome. I'd never thought I'd say it but it's true. Whether I was cleaning up the living room, there he was peering over my shoulder or asking me what I was doing. I'd walk down the hall to put laundry away and surely no longer ten 5 seconds later I'd hear his foot steps trail behind me. As of right now I'm putting up my bed as he's just watching from the doorway. His in his front pockets and slimmed around as always. "What are you-" I cut him off. "L I'm making the bed...come on you're an adult, you know this." I huffed and made sure the blanket was smoothed out before I placed the pillows on top. "Negative." He said referring back to the little game he was playing. I signed to my dismay of how I ever came across such a smartly stupid man. Before I could get irritated at him for the hundredth time today, the ringing of my phone interrupted me. L stepped into the room looking side to side for the ringing, reminding me of a dog. I picked up the phone from the bed side table before L noticed it and answered. "Hi?" I asked into the phone. L shot his head up at me. "Whom is it?" He asked eagerly. I waved him off. "Sure no problem." I said into the phone. "What isn't a problem?" He asked cocking his head to the side. "Yeah definitely, I'd love for him to come over....6 is perfect." I spoke and L's eyes seemed to widen more as he approached me from the doorway. "Whom is that and why are they coming here at 6....I recall you say 'him'." He said. I put my hand up to silence him. "Okay, see you then...bye." I hung up the phone and turn to L with a glare. "Do not ignore me Y/n...to whom were you speaking to and why are they intruding at 6?" He crossed his arms and I laughed before squeezing my way past him. "Y/n...." He said gently grabbing my wrist. "Admit your jealous and maybe I'll tell you." I shrugged and crossed my arms. He looked at him half glaring. It seemed like forever before he finally spoke again. "Perhaps....I suppose I was a little jealous...but jealously wouldn't really be the correct word more so protective.... territorial even but-" I cut him off. "L, stop it. It was the parent of a little kid I babysit. She called me to watch her son at 6 so they could go out for there 10 year anniversary." I rolled my eyes and walked out of the room, leaving L to blush from embarrassment. For once he didn't follow me.
