Insomniac (Death Note: L x Reader) [Admin]

Chapter 4

            YN walked into her room and immediately put on her pajamas. After doing so, she crawled into bed. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to sleep. Unfortunately, she was unable to. After an hour of trying, she gave up and went to the balcony. She leaned over the edge and looked at the stars and moon. 

        YN soon heard a knock at her door. "Come in," she called over her shoulder. Matsuda stumbled in wearing his boxers and a white tee. "Can't sleep?" she asked him. He joined her by the balcony and shook his head. She wrapped her arms around him in a comforting manor, leading him inside. "You wanna rest in here?" she invited. He smiled and nodded. She tucked him in like she would a child. 

         Matsuda closed his eyes and smiled peacefully as she kissed his cheek. YN decided to sneak away so she wouldn't bother Matsuda. She chose to go sit back on the balcony. She watched the whispy clouds move occasionally in front of the stars or moon. As she was thinking, she didn't hear Matsuda's footsteps behind her.

           He was going to tell her she should go to bed, but first he put a hand her shoulder. She gasped and stumbled back. Matsuda, startled, jumped back. YN tripped backwards off the edge of the balcony. She managed to grasp the railing with one hand. Matsuda immediately tried to pull her back, but couldn't quite get a grip.  "Help!" he screamed. The door burst open and suddenly Ryuzaki was there, helping Matsuda lift YN back up.

          Maysuda pushed past Ryuzaki and ran to YN, who was on her knees trying to calm herself. He wrapped his arms around her tightly. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! Oh man, if you had been hurt it would have been my fault... I'm just so sorry," he apologized, almost in tears. Ryuzaki was glaring at Matsuda. YN hugged Matsuda back. "It's fine, you didn't mean it."

       "  Maybe it would be best if Matsuda stayed in his own room for the night..." Ryuzaki suggested. Matsuda frowned, but agreed. "No! Matsuda you just go right back there," YN said gently pushing him to her bed, where, once again, she tucked him in. He smiled at her, while his eyes still looked sad. "It's ok, Matsu. I'm still here, aren't I?" she said. He sighed. "I-I guess..." "Good. Now go to sleep," she said, kissing his forehead. 

         She watched as he fell asleep peacefully yet again. Ryuzaki stared at her. "You?" he asked. "What?" "Aren't you going to sleep?" he asked. "Are you?" she countered. "No," he answered monotonously. "I'll just come help you," YN offered. "You need rest after that little... Incident," he said. 

           But she still followed him to the main room despite his protests. "I'll keep you company," she decided, as well as made the messy stack of papers on the desk a bit neater. "If you insist," Ryuzaki said, biting his thumb while reading the words on his screen. "So... Is Ryuzaki your real name?" YN asked, spinning in circles in the wheeled chair. "No, is YN yours?" he asked. "What is your name? And yep," she replied.

             "I Don't know if I should tell you," he said, looking deep in thought. "I didn't mean to pry! I'm s-" she was cut off. "L Lawliet," he said. "That is my real name." "It's beautiful!" she complimented. "Thank you. I've been told having a single letter for a name is a very powerful thing,"  he said. "It is!" she agreed. "I like your name too." She blushed upon his compliment. "Thank you," she said. He made a small noise which she decided was his response. 

                " So... Is there anything you want to know about me?" she asked. "Well, actually, yes. Tell me about your childhood?" he asked,even though it was worded like a demand. She frowned slightly, but agreed. "When I was four years old, my parents got divorced. Somehow, my mother got full custody. She lied to the judge and told him that my father had stolen from her. When we got home, I walked into my parents' room to see my father, dead. My mother showed no remorse and simply sent him away. One night, two years later, my mother never came home. I waited three days but she still did not come."

               "So I packed my bag of necessities, which included my teddy bear, an outfit, blanket, and note from my father, and left the house. I couldn't find anyone so I walked about, searching for multiple things, like my mom or food. A man found me and introduced himself. He pointed out a building and told me it was an orphanage. I went there and stayed until I was eighteen when I moved," she said.  L was  now looking at her. "Too much information?" she asked shyly. "Not at all... Where was this orphanage?" he asked. "In London. It was called "Wammy's House" I think," she replied. "I see..." he elaborated. 

                    "What about you?" YN asked curiously. "Well, as a young child, my parents died, and I was sent to Wammy's House as well. There, Watari took care of me and the others. I'm assuming you too... What did they call you there?" he explained. Without either of them noticing, L had moved to the couch. "I was referred to as Sunny," she chuckled. "I remember you.. You were so happy," he commented.  "You were so... Sweet, but quiet," she replied.

                   He chuckled. "So, wanna talk about the case?" he asked. She shrugged but nodded. "I suspect Light, personally." he said, biting his thumb yet again. "Light?" YN asked. "Have you met him? He's Chief Yagami's son," he explained. "Oh! No, I haven't! Is he suspicious?" she asked. "If he is Kira, he's a great actor. But he's unusually smart, so there's a reason... If he asks, tell him your name is Sunny," he said. "Okay, will do!" she agreed.

                 " I'll be right back," YN said with a wink. L nodded and pulled out his laptop as YN ran to the kitchen. Once there, she searched about for the container of birthday cake that had been made earlier in the week. Surprisingly, a bit had been kept. She cut out a large slice and opened the refrigerator, searching for some strawberries. She found a bin of them and placed atop the cake. She put a pot of tea to boil and brought the plate to L.

                 L's eyes lit up with excitement as he looked at the cake. He thanked her and dove in. YN soon went to the kitchen to retrieve the tea. She poured a cup for herself as well as L. She watched as L took a small sip before emptying cream packets into the cup as well as dumping sugar cubes. He smiled at her before glancing up at the clock. "6:48!" he exclaimed. "We need to get you some rest.., I'm sorry I kept you awake," he said with a slight blush. 

                 "It's fine! I stayed, didn't I? I'm not even tired," she said with a slight chuckle. "I'm going to go get ready and stuff," she said. He nodded. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind him. He gasped in surprise, making YN jump back. "Sorry," they said at the same time. YN laughed before running to her room so she could get ready.
