Provocation

"Oh the guy on the right is exactly my type", I heard my friend Kyouko in front of me say.

It was the entrance ceremony of To-Oh University, the university that I would finally start my studies at, and there were two freshmen who currently held speeches in front of the audience.

The man on the left was a handsome, well-dressed, model student who confidently spoke loudly in front of the enormous crowd.
Next to him was a man who seemed to be his complete opposite- he was dressed in a white shirt which looked as if it was way too large for him, and some just as baggy jeans.
The strange man stood there with his hands inside his pockets, staring nervously at the floor in await of his turn to speak in front of the people.

"What?! Don't be so weird, Kyouko, look at how he's dressed!", I heard another friend of her blurt.

Leaning slightly to the front, I tapped on Ginko's shoulder, making her turn to face me.
"I agree with you. He is really cute", I smiled.

"Right?!"

Kyouko's other friend threw a disturbed glare at us.
Leaning back, my thoughts wandered to the man again.

Cute, yes...

On the outside, I just spoke to my friend about him as if he was 'just' a highly intelligent and cute student at our university, but in reality, I knew so much more about him.

I knew his secret.

————————————————————————

About a month later, Kyouko and I hadn't seen the man ever since our entrance ceremony and the weeks that had followed afterwards.

This proves my assumptions.

He is probably currently working on the Kira case.

"I wish he would come to uni again... I haven't seen him ever since the day he played tennis with that other guy!", Kyouko remarked disappointedly.

"It's a shame I had a lecture at that time!", I complained. "It would've been really interesting to watch..."

"Everything is overwhelming right now... this semester is already starting off in such a tough way and now this sweetheart doesn't show up, I'm so disappointed..."

"Mhm, but I'm sure you will be less disappointed in a minute", I said as I saw the man, Hideki Ryuga, approach us and pointed towards him.

Hideki Ryuga... already the reason why he had chosen that name had been so obvious to me.
It was so evidently a fake... who knows, maybe he was a fan of the pop star and therefore chose that name. But I wondered what his real name was...

Standing behind my friend, Ryuga just seemed to pay attention to me. His dark eyes were widened as always, and he still did not seem to have gotten a healthy amount of sleep as the dark bags beneath his eyes were still there.
If he was in fact working on the Kira case, it would make a lot of sense...

"Hideki! You scared me!", she jumped as she turned around and discovered him standing behind her.

"You are Hideki Ryuga, aren't you?", I asked him.

"Yes. And you must be ~, am I correct?"

"Yes, pleased to meet you!
Excuse me for asking this, but is there something wrong with my face?", I asked while scratching my head nervously. Ryuga did not stop staring at my face for some reason.

"Not at all."

Silence.
Was this a staring battle? Was he provoking me? Hideki didn't blink for one second and I stared back at him, daring him to. Feeling a mix of both provocation and amusement, I put my hands on my waist and leaned forwards.

Kyouko was just eyeing from me to him and back again, wondering what the heck was going on.

"Well, then. It was very nice to meet you", he suddenly said without any change of expression.

"The pleasure is mine."

Ryuga started to turn around, but as he wanted to leave, I quickly leaned in and whispered into his ear.

"I know who you really are."

He turned around to look at me in shock, only giving me two last words.

"Here.
Tomorrow."

I nodded.

"Oh... he is so cute!", Kyouko said as we watched him leave.

If only she knew that apart from being cute he was the best detective in the world...

~The next day~

As Kyouko was currently visiting one of her lectures, I was waiting for Hideki in front of the university... no, L, on my own.

It had been an hour now and he was still nowhere to be seen. Then suddenly, a car pulled up to the campus and I saw an older man leave it, opening a door in the back.
Stepping out of it was none other than L again- in the same attire as always-
still wearing his emotionless mask.

Though what I had seen yesterday had been different- he had been able to express shock, after all.

I wonder what other feelings he is able to express...

"~."

"L."

L started staring at me again.

"I'm not trying to be rude, but there must be something wrong with my face or else you're doing stare battles with me", I remarked nervously.

"Oh, you're very wrong.
I'm just staring at you to admire your beauty."

My WHAT?

I laughed nervously.
"You cannot admire something that isn't there", I replied.

"But there is so much of it there. ~... you are a beautiful young woman, but most importantly, you are so gifted that you were able to find out who I am, you are the first person who did, in fact."

"Really?"

"Yes.
This might be a bit sudden, but would you be willing to work with me?", L asked sternly as he tilted his head.

I gasped.

"Work for-"

"Yes. I understand if you want to continue studying here, you could do so even if you would. Even a little help from you would be very appreciated, in fact I would love to work with you."

I blushed.
"I would love to work with you too, L."

"Then I shall make arrangements", he said as his lips curled into a smile.
"What about a meeting at the café near university tomorrow?"

I giggled.
"That nearly sounds like a date!"

"It might be..."
