L's Pov

I've been working a lot more these days. It's really starting to get to me.
I feel tired, but I just can't sleep. I refuse to. I have to keep an eye on everyone and make sure Kira doesn't go after one of us.

I spot everyone going off to bed, but (Y/N) soon stops and looks at me.

"You look tired Ryuzaki. You should get some rest", she says to me.

"I don't think that's a good idea (Y/N). I'm not tired at all", I say to her, typing on my laptop.

She walks over to me and puts her hands on her hips.

I look up at her.

"Is there a problem (Y/N)?"

"Yes! Get to bed right now! You'll hurt your eyes if you keep working like this!"

"You do know I don't sleep", I reply.

"Please? You need rest!"

"No"

"Why not? Come on! I'm worried about your health!"

'(Y/N)'s worried about me? No one's ever felt that way towards me before'.
I thought.

"Don't worry. You go to bed (Y/N). I'll be okay. You need your rest".

"But-"

"(Y/N), please go to bed".

She sighed. "Fine! I can't get anything by you, can't I?"

"No".

(Y/N) soon left upstairs for bed. I continued to work.

(Y/N)'s Pov

"Why is he so stubborn?" I ask myself. "Am I not allowed to be worried about him?"

I walk over to my windowsill, rest my elbow on it and then rest my chin on my hand.

"L's gonna hurt himself if he doesn't look after himself", I say, sighing and looking up at the starry sky.
"He hasn't had any sleep for 5 days straight and I just can't help but feel concerned. He's always so focused on work, that he doesn't care that he's damaging his body!"

I couldn't seem to fall asleep myself, so I decided to go for a walk. I walk out of my room and downstairs to find L.

'I hope he doesn't get mad at me for being here' I thought.

I sat in a spinny chair and start spinning around. L, surprisingly, didn't tell me off. I don't even think he noticed me!

I got off the chair and walked over to L.

"Need a hand?" I ask him.

No response.

"Ryuzaki?" I peer over his shoulder.

He was...sleeping!

'Oh my god!' I thought. 'After he told me he wasn't tired, he just falls asleep out of the blue!'

I put my hands on my hips, shake my head and sigh.

"Told you so", I whisper to L. I spot a blanket lying on a chair. I pick it up and wrap it around L's shoulders.

"See? This is what happens when you work too much", I whisper.

He was so cute!

I give L a small peck on the cheek and decide to leave him, just in case I end up waking him up. And I didn't want to do that! He hasn't had much sleep!

"Take care of yourself next time", I say quietly, walking back upstairs to bed.
