The Eyes

Childs Play

L P.O.V:

I saw the complete sadness in her eyes, I felt like crying with her. I could see she couldn't take being alone anymore, I needed to own up. She'd never believe anything though! I could just say I erased her memories in a car accident, there was never a realm or a shinigami, pretending I'm normal. I was running out of options and this was my only choice to make her happy, how she wanted it.

" Annie.." I struggle and lose my words somewhere down my throat but can't quite reach my lips

" Yes Lawliet" she looks away from the hard ground and back at me, I have her complete control, her concentration, her attention.

" I'm that person you can't remember" I say pulling my head towards one of the blossom trees as if I want to be locked away from the world

" You're lying, I'd know" she laughs

I don't know how I made her laugh, I turned her from sad to happy like that?

" I don't remember you because I never met you! I met L!" She continues

I smile at her and make her realise who I really am

" Oh god you're L!?"

" Yes Annie, I'm the one who loved you" I say smirking childlishly but you can tell she liked it

" Danny was saying how much L loved me, I was wondering how I came in contact with him"

" Well Danny is correct, I love you" I say smiling at her

" Lets go back to class shall we, we'll talk it out later as I'm so confused!" We start walking back to the building and bck to class as everyone stares at us

" Feeling better?" The teacher asks Annie

" Much better, thankyou" she walks back to her desk as I follow

How couldn't I read her mind, well I could, but how did she block out her thoughts?

" I want a report based on this case I've set up, a scenario on this sheet, work independently please. If you prefer to work with a partner or get ideas from eachother that's fine. It should only take a few days so lets say Thursday pease" the teacher explains while handing out the scenario sheets

Annie looked focused as she began to write down ideas. We were allowed to work on it for 10 minutes, then pack up for the next lesson. I checked my schedule and saw math, one subject I was good at.

" I'm heading to science, I'll meet you
in ward 4" Annie heads out to the other building, luckily I didn't have to go anywhere, only to the top floor of the building I was in.

I saw a classroom full of sighs, clearly everyone hated this class. I saw Light in the back corner of the classroom and decided to sit next to him.

" Hey Light" I whisper

" I saw you two outside, what happened?" Light asks

" She knows I'm L, she remembers that part" I say

" Anything else?" he asks

" Nothing much, I'll tell you in next class after" I say looking directly at the teacher in front of me

" Stop talking!!" The grumpy old lady shouted at me with rage and anger

" Sorry" I reply with, smooth moves L

School wasn't for me honestly. I felt like just watching Annie in science, but that would just be creepy, not romantic.

Romance wasn't really on my list. Although I love Annie, it's not my first priority. I was sent to the human world for a reason, which I haven't forfilled. I could fall in love with Annie all over again, but where's the excitement. I'm half a shinigami, I'm bored, I need interesting things to happen. Annie interested me, her attitude was what I fell in love with, then everything got serious and I kind of drifted apart from romance. Whatever we have needs to stop if it makes us both unhappy.

" Who are you gonna choose?" Light asks as he copies the math equations I can't be bothered to do from the board

" I thought of Annie, but its just boring" I answer

" Pick someone completely new then, get interested" Light suggests

" Annie's better without me, but I still love her"

" Time to let go, give it time. But if you leave it for too long, you'll be banished from here forever since you have no purpose being here right now. All you're doing right now is constantly stalking Annie. I mean c'mon, you made her lose so many things. She lost her life! She was scared that time when you almost killed me. She was scared of Near" Light goes on

" Are you suggesting I should have never met her in the first place?" I ask

" No, you two are great together. You
just moved things a little too fast, slow down dude"

I sighed out the window and left the room

" What do you think you're doing?!" The teacher storms after me

I blink 3 times and the redness appears once again. I make her think that I'm able to do this all the time and not do work, I love having the eyes.

I turn to my shinigami form, so no one can see me, including Annie.

Don't go stalking her again L! Light thinks

I ingnore his comments and fly to the science hall and see Annie doing experiments with new friends. Maybe I did move things too fast, she cut everyone out of her life for me, but all I did was risk her life for my own.

* * * *
Annie P.O.V:

Although I risked my life for him, I loved him. But how did I arrive at that point? I wasn't risking my life for his, he thought I was. I was always one step ahead of him, he was foolish to think I was going to have my memories erased. I'm just smarter than him I guess.

I immediately smirk knowing he's behind me, I'm not stupid. He's in his shinigami form, but he never covered up what he couldn't see, only what he thought he saw. He was stupid, he knew making me forget was a risk, it may have not worked, but it did. In those 24 hours, I knew his plans. I laugh at this all the time, it's clear. He wanted me to be happy, not sad, but it made me feel more like myself and not attached to him all the time. But something he doesn't know is that I'm still the same as before.

" Annie can you please answer this question?"

" Sure" I groan and walk up to the board

I start to write down the equation I had worked out already in my book. It was clear that the teacher was astonished.

I turned around back to the class and saw L smiling at my work, I could see him, I always could.

But this time it was like he knew I could see him, I knew he couldn't know that I saw him. But I stared for a few seconds in his red textured eyes, and the redness in mine appeared.
