Death Note. (L x Reader x Light)

Chapter one: Let The Game Begin.

Boxes. Boxes everywhere. You sign, beginning to unpack them into your new apartment. It's got 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and an open kitchen/living room. The cream walls go nicely with the light wooden floors in this room and the open windowed room is very bright. It's a good place to stay.

I wonder how long this is going to take. The case... As well as this tedious unpacking.

It's going to take ages to unpack. You begin unpacking your work room which is one of the two bedrooms, the most important room of all. Kira is smart, yes. But how smart? He's made a few errors I bet he doesn't know he has... And now L has announced he's after Kira to the ICPO, challenging him it seems. Who'll find who first? Either way, you can't allow your old friend to beat you in this game of cat and mouse. 

Kira has killed around 52-100 people already. But how? Every single one has been due to a heart attack, most have been inaccessible as they've been in jail or something. This case is quite interesting. Could it be one big government conspiracy? That could explain allot, but due to the magnitude of this whole thing, I highly doubt it.

Once unpacked, you begin to look up the case file on your laptop. "Ugh, I need lollipops." You sigh, standing up and heading out the door.

Tomorrow, you begin school again. What a drag. You've already gone through this whole facade numerous times and quite frankly, you're beginning to become tired at the amount of times you have to play it dumb. Maybe for once, I'll allow myself to become top of the class, or will make it too damn obvious I'm M?

Reaching the nearest candy store, you browse the selection of lollypops. "Which ones do I want today..." You mutter to yourself, placing your thumb to your mouth. 

It's weird how many habits you've picked up from Wammy's.

The candy store is a cute little cream colored store with a pink sign, 'Sweet Treats'. The inside is full of wooden shelves on pink walls, covered with jars of sweets in which you're supposed to take out what you want and go to the counter with them. The woman behind the desk is quite old, but friendly looking. Her grey hair is neatly tied up in a pony tail and she is wearning a candy cane apron. It's quite adorable, actually. 

Hearing the chime of the bell above the door, you glance up. A familiar black mop of hair walks in, slouching. Those familiar dark orbs eyeing up some strawberry sweets, black bags underneath from insomnia... L.

"Lawliet!" You exclaim, wrapping your arms around the young mans neck, jumping onto his back. Back at Wammy's, this is how you'd greet him. He was your best friend. 

"[Y-Y/N]?" He questions in shock. You chuckle as a small blush dusts his usually pale cheeks, you obviously startled him. 

"You know it." You smirk, climbing off of his back.

"What are you doing here?" He asks in his usual monotone voice but to your surprise, he hugs you.

"I'm here for the same reason you are. Kira." Hugging him back, you eye up those strawberry and cream lollies you were looking at earlier.

After a while of conversation, L smiles at you. "Why don't we work together on this one? For old times sake?"

"Sounds great. But..." Before you could finish, he picks up those lollies you've been eyeing up and a jar of strawberry sweets for himself. You chuckle. "Same old L-" Before you could finish he shakes his head. "Right, sorry. Same old Ryuzaki." You smile, scratching the back of your neck awkwardly. "Of course, [Y/N]." He smirks.

"Interesting. Your apartment is right next to mine, yet we've only just met now. You were always good at hide and seek." You smirk, sitting down on a sofa in L's apartment.
