  Reira stepped out of the elevator, still smirking at what she had done. Ryuzaki's blushing face was just too good for her to resist! Future plans danced in her head, broadening her smirk, she went into the bathroom and began to wash her face, sighing in content when all of the itchy stuff was off. She peeled the clothes Misa had made her wear, figuring she would need them tomorrow for her interview, anyways, before throwing her own clothes on. Suddenly feeling more comfortable in her skin, she yawned. She padded over to the couch and laid down, closing her eyes.
'I hope this dream never ends...'
"Reira, it's time to get up," Misa called. Reira sat up groggily, rubbing her eyes. "Huh?" She looked around, confused for a moment. Misa stood over the side of the couch, frowning. "Oh," Reira said, squinting a little. she thought the dream would be over by now, but it seemed it was going to be a long one. She stretched, getting up and smiling a little. "Any chance that there's coffee?"
"Probably not," Misa replied, adding, "Ryuzaki probably drank it all, already." She shrugged as Reira blushed at the mention of Ryuzaki, remembering what happened the night before. "I see..." Misa smiled a little. "I bet there'll be coffee at the shoot! One of the girls called in sick, so you should be able to get in on it today!"
'Oh good, I'll be able to get some clothes that actually fit.'
Reira nodded, smiling a little before heading to the bathroom. She noticed that there was a new tooth brush waiting there for her. She smiled, setting a mental reminder to thank whomever had brought it for her. She brushed her teeth and called out, "Misa? Do I have to put those clothes on again today?"
"Huh? No. They'll be dressing you, so it doesn't matter. They even do your makeup for you!" Reira cringed at the mention of makeup, her skin itching already. She walked out of the bathroom and smiled. "Well, I'm ready to go, now, then."

[Super mega time skip! Woooo~]

The end of the day finally came. Reira was beat. 'Who knew that being a model would be so exhausting? I've got to give them more credit,' she thought to herself, her eye twitching. Surprisingly, the day hadn't been too bad. She still didn't trust Misa, but at this point, she didn't care. Clearly, she had been dropped into the point in time where neither Light nor Misa had any memories of being Kira. For that, she was thankful, considering the shinigami eyes would have been a massive problem for her.
She stretched as she and Misa went through the doors to HQ, greeting everyone. "Good evening," she said cheerfully, waving and sitting in a chair. They all waved back, except for Light, who eyed her carefully. Reira thought to herself, 'Ah, damn. I still need to keep an eye on him.' She looked at his wrist and noticed the long chain connecting him to none other than Ryuzaki. 'Well, that's gonna make messing with him harder.' She picked up a pen and started doodling on the notebook in front of her, making an intricate floral design on the pages until Chief Yagami stopped her.
"Reira, what are you doing? This isn't the time to be doodling like a child," he boomed from behind her. She looked up at him, narrowing her eyes and replying, "Listen, I know you don't like me, but I've had a rough day, and this is one of the few things that helps me focus. Kind of like Ryuzaki, and his sweets." Although she said this, she obliged and let the pen fall back to the table. "Happy?" The Chief's face stiffened and he turned away with a huff, causing an awkward silence in the room.
"Reira, if your day has been so rough, you should probably go get some rest," Ryuzaki finally spoke, breaking the silence. "Oh, no, I'll be alright," she replied. "Besides, I feel kind of like a freeloader, right now. I want to help, too, you know."
"That's because you are a freeloader," Light interjected rudely, and Reira glared at him. "I wasn't asking you," she shot back, her words dripping with discontent. She turned back to the paper and continued doodling, making notes beside them of all the necessities she would need to buy the next day. She coughed, piping up, "Misa, I need to go get some personal things tomorrow, and I was wondering if you'd show me around?"
"Oh? Sure thing, Reira! I was supposed to have a date with Light tomorrow, but he's chained to Ryuzaki right now. Maybe we could make it a double da-"
"Absolutely not," Reira interrupted, adding, "It would be a group of friends going to hang out. Not. A. Date." Misa pouted at her and she shrugged. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm close to Ryuzaki that way, that's all." Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ryuzaki flinch, which sent a pang of guilt run through her. She smiled a little, quickly adding, "Not that I wouldn't like to be, of course." She saw him relax a little and got up, padding over to him and crouching next to him. "Is that fine with you, Ryuzaki?" She looked up at him, giving her best pouting face. He glanced at her for a brief moment before turning back to his screen and uttering, "Fine. We can't have someone lounging around in the same clothes for days on end. It's unsanitary."
Reira smiled, and she stood up, hugging Ryuzaki and saying, "Thank you! You won't regret it!" She spun on her heel and skipped to the elevator, still beaming. "Goodnight everyone!" The doors closed, and she jumped for joy in the elevator.

L's P.O.V
Ah, that face [Y/n] made at me. Why couldn't I say 'No' to it? i turned my attention to the camera in the elevator, seeing her jumping around energetically. For someone who was supposedly exhausted, she sure did keep a bunch of energy in her.
"Ryuzaki," Light started, and I turned my head to look at him. "What is the point of keeping Reira around, anyways? She's not really doing much around here, and I don't see why she's even on the task force in the first place." I thumbed my upper lip for a moment before responding, "I suppose it's an insurance, in case you do happen to be Kira. She doesn't look like much, but I'm sure Reira will be useful in this investigation. Call it a gut feeling." Light stared at me as if I had said something wrong, and I glanced at the cameras to Amane's floor. [Name] was about to get into the shower. I smirked a little, leaning forward.
"Ryuzaki, you pervert," Misa squealed from behind me before throwing her jacket over the monitor. "You can't just spy on her while she's showering!" I sighed, asking, "I'm a...pervert?" Hm, maybe it was a bad idea to keep watching [Name], after all.

Normal P.O.V

Reira fiddled with the top button on her flannel. She had pulled her hair back, exposing the other half of her design. Misa was chattering away about how she and light were going to get married once the case was over while she did Reira's makeup. She made agreeing noises while Misa worked, the itchy feeling returning on her skin. Hell, she was probably allergic to whatever Misa was putting on her. 'Maybe I can get some hypoallergenic stuff later,' she thought to herself before brushing away the thought in horror.
They made their way downstairs to meet Light and Ryuzaki. When they got there, Reira noticed that the cuffs were gone. She quirked her eyebrow at Ryuzaki, who then cleared his throat and said stiffly, "It's just for today, so don't get too excited about it."
The four of them took a car to Aoyama, at Misa's request. She claimed it was where she had first seen and fallen in love with Light at first sight, so you all hastily agreed so she wouldn't have a temper tantrum. Reira sighed, spacing out while she walked. Suddenly, a hand grabbed hers, and she gasped, looking at the direction the hand had come from. It was Ryuzaki. "Oh, sorry. Did I wander too far?"
He nodded, responding, "You shouldn't space out like that when you're walking around here. It's dangerous." Reira smiled, and said, "Thank you, Ryuzaki. I really appreciate it." She looked around for a moment before speaking again, "Where did Light and Misa run off to?"
"Hmm, I'm not entirely sure. When they saw me trailing after you, they ran off as quickly as they could. Well, Miss Amane did, anyways. Light was just her unfortunate ragdoll." Reira chuckled, answering, "I suppose she wanted some alone time with him. It's not easy having the one person you want to spend time with chained to someone, you know."
"Why do you do that," Ryuzaki asked simply. Reira turned to him and cocked her head to the side, answering his question with a question, "Do what?"
"Well," he started, "I'm about 85% sure that you harbor feelings of some kind for me. Do you? Every time I speak with you, you tense up and you get very red. It's perplexing." He looked away from her, almost irritated. Reira smiled a little and replied, " Do you really think I would be here to save you if I didn't?" She squeezed his hand, which was still firmly wrapped around hers. "C'mon. Let's go get me some decent clothes and pajamas. I'll treat you to some cake, after." He perked up at the mention of cake and followed her eagerly.

[Timeskiptimeskiptimeskip! Sorry. >.<;]

Reira and Ryuzaki left the cake shop, and Reira noticed it was almost night time. She wondered where Light and Misa were when she heard Misa calling, "Reira! Ryuzaki! We're over here!" She waved, glued to Light again like the first time Reira ever saw her. She smiled, calling, "Hey! Where did you guys go? We were worried!"
Misa apologized, stating she wanted some time alone with Light, and Reira nodded. They then rode back to the Task Force HQ with all of Reira's supplies in tow. When they got there, Ryuzaki took Reira aside and said softly, "I need to speak with you." He lead her to a hallway where he was sure they wouldn't be interrupted.
"What's up, Ryuzaki?" Reira smiled a little as Ryuzaki scratched his head. "I just wanted to let you know that your room is ready for you. You may feel free to go to it whenever you like. Just know there are-"
"Cameras? I know."
Ryuzaki nodded, lowering his voice so that it was barely audible, "It's not that I don't trust you, [Name], but if you don't have them, someone could try to do something to you." Reira nodded, smiling and replying, "I'm okay with that. I don't want to get murdered by Kira, you know. Just don't peek on me in the shower anymore, okay? That makes you look like a pervert." She planted a swift kiss on his cheek before heading back to the main room, leaving Ryuzaki dumbfounded and touching his cheek, a light blush spread over his face.
"So I am a...Pervert?"
