Chapter 9 - Embarrassment

(Time skip – a few hours)

I slump down into the couch and sigh as I toss the files onto the table. I stretch my arms above my head. "Everything alright (Y/N)" Aizawa asks.

"Yeah. Just tired, that's all." I reply. He looks back down and continues with his work. "You know what, I'm going to go to bed." I get up from the couch and take my place which once held cake into the kitchen. As I was about to shut the door I looked around the room, L was nowhere to be seen. I turn away and close the door. I lay quietly down on my bed. Back home, are people missing me. Do people think I've run away, kidnapped? All these questions slip in and out of my head. Do they think I'm dead?

After a while, I hear a knock on the door. "Come in." The door slowly opens and L pokes his head past the door.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah." I shift and sit up straight, crossing my legs. "What is it?" He closes the door behind him and stands before me.

"It's about before."

"Oh. It's okay, you don't have to pretend to like me-" He cuts me off.

"No, it's not that. I do like you (Y/N)." I feel my cheeks flush. "I'm sorry about before when I didn't trust you and was thinking – "

"Thinking of sending me to a doctor." I finish for him.

"Yeah, that...I know it was probably the wrong thing to do but I didn't know any better. Your story seems so strange and unbelievable. But the knowledge you have is unknown anywhere else. So there has to be an explanation." I smile.

"Thanks, I know that it'll be hard for you to accept this, being a super genius and all, but it's the truth." Silence falls over us and he starts to leave. "Oh, and one last thing."

"Yes (Y/N)?"

"What was in that note?"

"Something, something important, but only time will tell." He walked over to me and pulled me into his arms. I hugged back, it seemed to last for ages. He pulled away slightly and pressed his lips to my forehead. I felt my cheeks instantly heat up. And with that, he left the room. I sat there happily cross legged on my bed.

What even were we. Were we together? Or just romantic interest? I groaned and rolled on my side and let sleep overtake me as I stared out the window. But all that was important right now was protecting him from Kira.

(Time skip – the next day)

"(Y/N), (Y/N)" I slid my eyes open and turned over to see Matsuda standing at the end of my bed.

"What?" I say sitting up and rubbing my eyes.

"We have a new lead on the Kira case. Ryuzaki requested your presence." I gave a small smile as I remember what had happened the previous night. "You seem in a good mood." He questioned.

"Yeah, I am. Today's going to be an interesting day." I got up and walked over to my wardrobe. I paused looking at Matsuda. "Umm..."

"Oh right, yeah sorry!"

"Thanks." He closed the door behind him. I started pulling off my clothes from yesterday when the door opened.

"(Y/N) are you..." L trailed off.

"AHH!" I shrieked. "Can't I just get changed in peace?!" I threw my pants at his face and he immediately backed out of the room embarrassed. I groaned and got changed into a new set of clothes.

Eventually, I emerged from my room, fully dressed. I shot a quick glare to L and walked past him and sat down on the couch. "So, what have we got."
