Flawed Deductions (Yandere!L x Reader)

(Chp. 1) 0.3% Chance

-----Reader's POV------

You sat with your feet propped on the top of your desk, holding a small bowl of fruit in one of your hands while digging through the contents with the other. A satisfied grunt escaped your lips as you held up a blueberry, as you were about to eat the yummy fruit, the door of the classroom opened and an odd looking man walked in. He was somewhat hunched over while he walked, and he had jet black hair and dark eyes. You curiously watched the man as he sat at the desk next to your own.

    

     "I didn't think anyone would be in here at this time," the man mumbles to himself while placing the tip of his thumb to his mouth, "my calculations must not have considered all of the variables."

What is with this guy? You wonder to yourself, while still holding the fruit to your lips, as if on cue, the man turns to face you.

    "I deduced that there was only a 0.3% chance of this room being occupied. That is why I believe I missed some variables in the equation." The man spoke, yet again seeming to mumble more to himself than to you.

     "Isn't it more likely that I occupy that 0.3%?" You question as you pop the long forgotten blueberry into your mouth, a satisfied smile playing at your lips.

The man seemed stunned by your reply, the emotion barely showing in his dark eyes as he leaned closer to you, studying you with his black orbs. After a few more moments of being scrutinized under the mystery man's intense gaze, you held the bowl of fruit out to him. His gaze then shifted to the fruit, then back to you. He picked up a strawberry, awkwardly holding it by the tip as he examined it briefly before eating the delicious red fruit.

     "You make a good point, however I believe that the likelihood of missing a variable is greater than that of the 0.3% exception. From these events I deduce that-" the man keeps rambling on about the ratios and chances of his missing a variable while you study him. A revelation crosses your mind as you sigh quietly to yourself and pick a strawberry from the bowl of fruit.

    "-Therefore I can readjust my calculation based on-" you swiftly pop the strawberry in the man's mouth and he looks at you, stunned.

     "I have made my own calculations and have concluded that your problem is that you believe everything follows rational and logical thought. You were correct in assuming you missed a variable, however the reasoning as to why you missed it is because you refuse to see that it exists. You must realize that not everything follows rationality, some things are random and can't be predicted with numbers." You said, a compassionate grin on your face as you studied the man for a few moments longer.

He brought his index finger up to the fruit that was still in between his lips, and gently pushed it into his mouth. Afterwards, he stood up and left the room. As he left, other students poured into the class and the bell rang, signaling that it was time to focus on the class work. However you couldn't stop your thoughts from roaming back to that peculiar man. I hope I get the chance to apologize to him, I didn't mean to offend him. You think to yourself as you sigh and eat the last of the fruit, trying to shift your thoughts to the teacher.

------L's (Ryuzaki's) POV------

Why can I not get what she said out of my mind? I've been thinking about it since the moment it had left her lips. Could it be true, are my deductions flawed because I refuse to acknowledge the random course that some things follow?

     "L, what is your conclusion!?" Light asks, raising his voice to bring the man out of his oblivious state.

    "My conclusion?" L lingers on the question as he brings his thumb up to his lips. "I believe she is correct. That is my conclusion." L states simply, yet confidently. Light just stares at L, wondering what the man is talking about.

    "I asked you for your thoughts on the newest killings, do you think they are the work of Kira, or is this the work of someone else?" Light restates his previous question, then realizes that the raven haired man has, yet again, gotten lost in his own thoughts.

    "This is so unlike you L, what has gotten you so preoccupied?" Light asks the raven haired detective.

    "I have just realized that my deductions have possibly been flawed up to this point." L answers simply, glancing at Light before a blank stare occupies his features yet again.

Light tries to hold back his laughter, thinking he (Kira) was the reason for L's distress. However, the more he thought about the famous detective being outwitted so easily by a college student, the harder it was to control his joy. He reveled in his belief that he had finally beaten L, the corners of Light's mouth lifted slightly as he realized his victory. Unbeknownst to Light, however, he was far from the truth for it wasn't he who had the raven detective beaten, nor was there a victory or a loss. Of course, there was no possible way for Light to know at the time, but in L's mind, he had already won against Kira and this new challenge would be much more intriguing.
