Flawed Deductions (Yandere!L x Reader)

(Chp. 3) The Start of Suspicion

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

I sat in my chair, feet tucked under me slightly, as I placed the tip of my thumb to my lips. I stared at the computer screen that contained all of the info on (f/n) that I could find, I had access to everything from old yearbook photos to her current grades. I need to know why she intrigues me so much, there has to be a reason I can't get her out of my thoughts. I think to myself as I review some of her newest photos found on her online profiles. I am just jumping from photo to photo, just looking at them long enough to get a general idea of where it was taken and why. As  I am glancing through her pictures something catches my eye. The photo is of Light and (f/n), they appear to be in a diner with a couple other  people, who I assume to be their friends).

            "Hm...if  (f/n) and Light never really talk, then why are they in a photo  together?" L ponders to himself quietly. "Maybe I should take a look at some of Light's photos as well, see if there are any other instances of  this." The raven haired man mumbles a little too loudly.

             "What was that?" Light asks as he spins his chair around to face the detective. "Did you say my name?" He asks curiously while staring at L.

            "No, nothing. Just thinking out loud." L answers. Light just nods his head and spins to face his computer again.
I  guess I need to return (f/n)'s bowl to her today, I doubt she thought her plan through since she didn't give me her number and today is a Saturday. I could always ask Light if he has her number, there is about a 30% chance he does. Although, evidence from the picture suggests it may be closer to a 50% chance. It couldn't hurt, in fact, it could work to my advantage. As my thoughts focus again on the Kira case, I form a quick plan in my head.

             "Light," I begin, my voice sounding a little too curious, "would you  happen to have (f/n)'s number?" I finish my question as I observe Light's reaction, looking for any suspicious body language.

             "I think I do. Hold on, let me check." Light answers as he fishes his phone from his pocket and begins to search through his contacts. After a few moments Light looks up at me from his phone, nodding to answer my earlier question.

            "May I ask why you have it?" I ask, my face showing no emotion as I, yet again, study his movements. "I thought you and her weren't friends." I accuse, turning my chair around to observe him fully.

            "Well, we have worked on some projects together in the past. We exchanged numbers and I guess I just never deleted it." Light says, laughing a little at the end of his answer, trying to alleviate some of the tension now forming in the room.

             "May I have it? I was supposed to return this bowl to her today but she didn't tell me how to contact her." I ask, staring intently into  Light's face. I notice slight surprise wash over his features at my  request.

            "Y-yeah, here. I'll write it down for you."  Light complies, grabbing a pen and paper before writing the girl's number down.

Light places the paper in my outstretched hand  before returning to study evidence from the Kira case. I quickly get up, grabbing the borrowed bowl as I do, and head towards the exit.

             "Watari, I will be gone for a few hours probably. You can contact me if you need to, but make sure it is important before doing so." I command calmly, glancing at the elderly man who just nods in return. I walk through the door and right before it fully closes, I hear Light mumble something  that I'm not sure if I was meant to hear.

            "Don't start falling in love with her Ryuzaki, it wouldn't benefit you."

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

"I'm so stupid!" you yell at yourself as you stand in front of the mirror.  "How could I forget to give him my number!?" you yell agitatedly at no one in particular. "It's not that I planned this or anything, I really did forget that it was the weekend. I just can't believe that I didn't realize it until this morning." you plop down onto your bed, releasing a sigh to push away your frustrations. "After I got all dressed up today too." you mumble to yourself as you fall back onto your bed and stare up at the ceiling.

I wonder if someone knows his number. You ponder to yourself as a thought hits you, if he used Light to find me, maybe I can use Light to find him! You abruptly sit up at the wonderful revelation and start digging around on your bed to find your phone. No luck. You think sadly to yourself, trying to remember where you last had the device. Maybe it's in the- Your thought gets interrupted as you hear a familiar ring tone coming from somewhere near the bathroom.

"That's  my ringtone!" You yell, jumping up and running to the source of the catchy music. You quickly find your phone laying in the floor on top of  your pajamas that were discarded before your shower earlier. That's a great place for a phone, you sarcastically think to yourself as you roll your eyes. You quickly flip open the device and press the receiver to your ear.

"Hello?"  You ask casually. A few seconds of silence pass as you wait for a  reply, then you hear someone let out a somewhat nervous sounding sigh on the other end.

"Hello, is this (f/n) (l/n)?" The male voice asks through the phone.

"It  depends on who you are." You retort cautiously, not recognizing the  voice as someone you have talked to over the phone before.

"This  is Ryuzaki." A few moments of silence pass as you can't reply through your shock. "Light's friend. You let me borrow your bowl yesterday." The man adds, sounding a little more nervous than before.

"Oh yeah! Sorry, I didn't recognize your voice." you quickly answer, shrugging off your earlier shock.

"I  was just wondering if you wanted to meet somewhere. So you can have your bowl back." Ryuzaki asks quietly. There was another silence as you  got lost in your thoughts, the main one being how he had gotten your number. He probably got it from Light, you answer yourself. As if on cue, Ryuzaki's voice is heard through the phone again. "In case you are curious, Light gave me your number after I told him I needed to return something to you." The man states, confirming your thoughts.

"Um...yeah, we can meet somewhere. Any certain place you had in mind?" You ask as you smile to yourself. The man on the other end of the phone thinks for a few moments before speaking again.

"There is a nice café not too far away." The man replies through the phone, confidence clear in his voice, and maybe...amusement as well?

"Sounds great, I just need the name of the place and the time and I will meet you there!" You reply a little too eagerly into the phone then scold yourself for  showing this man how excited you are for your little meeting.

You  shut the phone, ending the call with Ryuzaki then quickly write down the name of the café and the time he wants to meet. "Just so I don't  forget." You remind yourself before looking at the clock. "A little over an hour," you start, "guess I can fix my hair again." You finish as you walk into the bathroom and start improving your (h/l) strands of (h/c). Well (f/n), I guess it's a good thing you got all dressed up today. You think as you smile at yourself and continue getting ready for your "date".
