"What do you mean? Why wouldn't you want me to go?" I asked.

"I just don't want you to risk your life out there is all," L said.

"But isn't that what we're doing right now is risking our lives for this case? As long as I don't give him my real name I should be fine!" I smiled.

"What about when you first met him? What name does he know you by?" L asked, concerned.

"Tomoko. Don't worry! I thought this through. I gave him an alias just in case! And it looks like it was a good judgment since he is your prime suspect," I explained.

"Okay, good, then call him back and ad accept his offer. Just remember to be careful," L furrowed his brows and looked right at me. Man, he was really serious.

"Don't worry about me! Really, I'll be fine," I smiled.

"Okay (Y/N), we're counting on you. Play it cool and try not to act suspicious when you ask him about Kira. Just ask him what he thinks about the Kira situation," L went on.

"Alright," I nodded my head and took my phone. I called back the number that Light had used and I waited while it rang. Then:

"Hello?" It was Light.

"Yeah! Hey Light! It's Tomoko! I wanted to take you up on that offer to go out tomorrow at 6!" I said pretty enthusiastically.

"Oh really?? Awesome! Thanks so much! You won't regret it! This will be awesome!" Well, I guess Light was equally, if not MORE, enthusiastic... Almost fake...

"Sweetness! This will be great! Okay see you then!" I said to him.

"You got it! Tomoko~" Light sung the last part. Dear god, this was going to be weird.

"How did it go?" L asked.

"Pretty good. It was short and too the point," I said to L.

L looked away, "Good, just remember to stay safe."

I nodded my head and raised an eyebrow, "I already told you I would to that." I smiled, "well, am I allowed to go know? I have some chores to do when I get home."

"Uh... Y-Yes, you may feel free  to leave now. Thank you for your time," L said with a tint of pink dusted acrossed his cheeks. Was he... Blushing? But why??

"O-Okay, I'm just going to uh... Go now," I pointed in the direction of the door and quickly went to it, "bye!" I smiled awkwardly, he waved and I left the room. Before I completely left however, I noticed that L was very slouched over, with his head hanging very low. Watari came and patted him on the back. What was going on?

I just kind of walked to my car. There was another meeting tomorrow, but L and I established that I didn't have to go because of the "date" I was attending. I really hope Light didn't suspect anything. I hoped even more that I didn't develop feelings for L's prime suspect. Light is really cute and nice, but he almost seems a little too fake too me...

Finally I had arrived at the parking garage near my apartment. I got out of the car and locked it (without locking my keys in the car of course~). I sighed as I walked up to my apartment. It was on the third floor and I never took the elevator because I knew I needed to exercise after gaining weight from eating too much sweets.

I FINALLY made it too my apartment door. My breathing was slightly heavier (just like me... Heh heh.... That's not funny). I sighed again. I was always coming home to a lonely apartment. I had no pets other than my betta fish, Rush, because he was always "Rushing" around the tank, well bowl... What I wouldn't give to have some company some time. My parents lived in America and I was stuck here in Japan. I had no friends except those I talked to on the task force. That only really includes Matsuda really because I don't talk to anyone else. I will occasionally talk to one of the secretaries at the department, but it's not like we ever hang out. Most people can't take me seriously and they think I'm like some sort of "child". Eh, the word child makes me angry. "Meh, stop acting like such a CHILD (Y/N)!" They use to tell me... Always with the kid stuff. I'm not a kid anymore! I'm a full grown adult women! I am 19 and fabulous as hell!!!!!

The more and more I thought about this too myself, the more I began to thrash my head around and growl. Perhaps I was not a child, but more like a rabid dog? I was trying to make myself dinner, instant ramen again, but I just couldn't shake the thought of the word "child" out of my head. Surely L didn't think of my as a child. He seemed to actually take me seriously. 

Now that I think about it, why am I even wasting my time with instant ramen!? I know  how to cook god damnit! Jesus, what is wrong with me tonight!? 

Whatever, you know what? I'll take a shower and worry about dinner later...

I was really struggling with my inner most thoughts. I had stopped thrashing and I started to calm down a bit. I just kind of left my ramen on top the stove. All I really did was turn the burner off so now I will come back to soggy ramen. But it's fine, I'll still eat it. There ain't no way in hell I'd waste ramen.

So I sluggishly crept to my bathroom with a towel and my bath robe. I decided I would take a bath instead of a shower because that just sounded more relaxing. Yeah, a bubble bath sounds nice right about now. 

I grabbed a toy rubber duck off of the bathroom sink. It was going to keep my company during my relaxing bath. Man, if anyone saw me right now, they were bound to think I was still a "child".

L's POV 

I was intently watching my surveillance  cameras when I noticed (Y/N) start to take off her clothes. "No way," I thought to myself. No way was I going to watch this. I could never tell her that I was secretly watching her too. I didn't suspect her or anything, it's just... I sort of... Like her I guess.

I quickly turned off that particular camera and started eyeballing the cake she brought for me. "I'll just have a piece of that instead," I mumbled to myself. So I took the largest piece I could fit on my small plate and I covered it in chocolate syrup. The cake was perfectly amazing on it's own, but I needed something to distract myself from my thoughts.

I picked up the plate and brought it over to my computer where I was observing the cameras.
"Maybe I should check on her. Just in case she gets hurt or something..." I set the plate down and turned her bathroom camera back on. She wasn't in the bath yet. She was just standing around naked and looking at herself in the mirror. She seemed disgusted with herself but she continued to look anyway. 

I continued to look. I was completely ignoring my cake and I started reaching for my lower regions, "why must I do this to myself?"
