You were the only one on the taskforce that knew sign language, so because you count hear anything, you had to communicate through writing on paper and texting. You could lip read, but not very well. The only one that really paid much attention to you was L, you passed notes to each other all the time during work.

You felt something against your arm, you looked down to see L had slid you a note again.

'You look tired'

You grabbed a pen and scribbled a reply.

'I am'

He took the paper and wrote something down.

'Do you want to go to sleep?'

You gave him an 'Are-you-serious' look.

'I have too much work to do'

You watched as he scribbled something back.

'I can do it'

You shook your head at him. He tilted his head as if to say 'you-sure?' You nodded and started to write again.

'I'll do my work, but I do have something to tell you once I'm done, can you meet me on the roof at 5?'

He read over the paper and gave you a thumbs up, you gave him a thumbs up back and turned to your work on the other end of the long desk.

You pulled out a price of paper and started to write your long, heartfelt confession in blue pen.

'Look, L. I really appreciate everything you do for me despite the fact I can't even hear you. I appreciate the fact you're trying to learn sign language for me and all the kind actions you portray to me. And I don't know if you've noticed, but I have been growing very fond of you, what I'm trying to say is... I love you. I understand if you don't like me back. Just know I'm always here for you'

You folded the paper and looked up to see L had already left to go to the roof, you grabbed the paper and ran down the hall, up the stairs and through the doors to the rooftop. He was standing by the satellite dish and playing with a Puzzle cube. He looked up as you ran over to him, putting the puzzle cube in his pocket.

You looked up at him as he tilted his head as if to say 'what's-up?'

You looked down at you feet and handed him the note. You watched as he read over it, you looked back down at you feet again to hide the growing blush on your cheeks.

You saw him put the paper in his pocket and you felt his hands lift your head up. He gestured for you to watch him, he bought his hands up in front of him and did his first sign language action, that spelt the words:

'I love you'
