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

Chapter 6

YN ran a hand through her hair as she flipped through the large pile of reports. Her mind was clouded by the thoughts of Light. She didn't trust him, not one bit. L seemed set on believing he was Kira, and in all the cases he had worked on, L had almost never been wrong about anything.

So, she continued to busy herself with the case as a tactic to avoid the tour. Being alone with Light was something she wasn't ready for. She honestly didn't think it would matter if L was her "boyfriend" or not. If Light was Kira, he would take what he wanted.

A loud scream was heard from the bathroom of Misa Amane, a suspect who was residing there. YN arrived at the door with the other task force members. Misa was wrapped in a towel, clinging to Light as tears streamed down her face.

YN pushed past the men and entered the bathroom. Her hand immediately went to her mouth to cover it. She cautiously walked to the shower where a red liquid dripped from the shower head.

Upon closer inspection, she confirmed that it was blood. Her mind was rattled as she began to question the source of the red. All plumbing systems in the building were connected in some way. Water from the drains would go through a purification device before going to another pipeline.

While she was unaware of all the details, she understood that much. She sprinted out of the room and past the other members, ignoring the shouts that followed her. She came across Matsuda's room soon and began pounding on the door.

No reply.

She felt panicked as she opened the door. She heard nothing coming from any part of the room. Nearing the bathroom, a light could be seen from underneath it. She felt tears slipping down her cheeks. "No, no, no, no.." she whispered as she opened the bathroom door slowly.

Inside, Matsuda laid fully dressed in the bathtub. A knife was in his heart and he was drenched in blood. YN fell to her knees in a mess of tears and sobs. She screamed his name, praying for him to return to her. But the man didn't stir.

"YN!" YN shot up in her bed, shaking. Tears streamed down her face as L shook her violently, waking her. She blinked and threw her arms around him, forgetting all boundaries. He was slightly taken aback by her sudden actions, but allowed her to tighten her grip.

She sobbed into his chest, unknowing if she had had a dream or not. "I-is Mat- Matsuda ok?" she stuttered, breathing in his sweet scent. L's arms tightened around her as he nodded. She felt his chin bounce up and down on her head.

"Are you?" he asked. "Y-yeah.. I'll just.. Stay up," she said, making an attempt at wiping her eyes. "YN, you've only been asleep for an hour," he said, raising a brow. "That's more than I usually get," she muttered.

"Hm?" L asked. She dismissed it and stood from the bed with a stretch. "I'll get dressed," she said, heading to her closet. "Then I'll help with the case."

"I really think you should sleep," L said, standing also. "Says the person also awake," YN smirked. "It's normal for me though," he defended. "Same for me."

L frowned slightly. YN pretended not to see. Remembering she had been too tired to do anything but remove her blazer, she slipped off her top, leaving her in her bra. She heard L give a sound resembling a squeak.

She slipped on a grey, tight fitting tee shirt with dark skinny jeans. She turned around, now fully dressed. L's cheeks were slightly pink now.

"Ready to get to work?" she asked with a smile. L looked away and nodded. As they exited the room quietly, YN locked her door before following L down the hallway. She stopped slowly in front of Matsuda's door. L noticed, and nodded with a shrug, understanding.

YN quietly opened the door, revealing the soft snoring coming from Matsuda's bed. She tip toed over and brushed the stray hair out of his face as a mother would have done. She gently brought her lips to his cheek and smiled as his arm found its way around her.

"YN?" he muttered. YN's eyes widened, slightly upset that she had awoken him. "Shh.. Go back to sleep," she whispered, hugging him gently. He yawned and nodded, smiling as he snuggled into the pillow. YN kissed his forehead before leaving.

With a sigh, she gently closed his door and made her way to the monitor room. L was already drinking a cup of tea and flipping through reports. Feeling as though she had already experienced this, she remembered her dream. The clock read two, at the current moment as well as her dream. "L, where's Light? And Misa?" she said, stopping her own research.

"Light is at home, I'm assuming. Misa?" "Didn't we bring her in for questioning?" YN asked. "No, I've heard nothing about any 'Misa'. Does this have anything to do with your dream?" he asked, almost reading her mind. 

She slowly nodded. "Why don't you tell me about the dream?" L suggested. YN nodded and sighed. "Well, it was a normal day and everyone was doing paperwork. It was two in the morning. A girl named Misa Amane screamed and blood was coming from her shower head. The blood was coming through Matsuda's  pipe systems. He had been.. Stabbed," she explained.

L nodded slowly, processing the new information.  "I apologize. You obviously love him very much," he  said after a moment. His typical monotone had a slight tone of sympathy. "T-thanks," she stuttered, flipping through more papers.

The hours passed almost silently as they continued to work.  Soon, sunlight poured through the windows of the building.  YN noticed this and decided to stretch her legs by making coffee. She excused herself and went into the small kitchen area.

She made the coffee without trouble and poured a cup for L, as well as a small cup for herself. She handed him the mug, which he happily accepted, and continued.

Soon, the other members of the task force flooded in. It did not, however, go unnoticed that YN stayed a little closer to Matsuda than normal. And for the life of him, L couldn't figure out why he had a problem with that.
