A/n: good lord, you guys love this AU don't you? Well here's yet another DID oneshot.

Everything was running smoothly, your first and probably only relationship with a system was actually going very well. All three of the boys who shared the body loved you very much, and you protected them with your life. L, Ryuzaki and Ryuga would constantly fight over who'd front for the first few weeks of your relationship as they all wanted to spend time with you, that poor body was constantly dissociating that week.

But after that it chilled down a lot, Ryuzaki, as the primary protector decided to add a new rule to the systems journal.

Everyone is entitled to (y/n). Everyone is allowed to see her at least once a day. Don't hog her, she's all of ours.

Ryuzaki was getting pretty sick of the constant dissociating, he was the one that fronted for the case so even though L was the host, Ryuzaki was out the most during the day around the taskforce. As the case was particularly stressful, you didn't want a split or happen, or a new alter to appear in a traumatic way so you were constantly on their back to take breaks and be careful.

Things were going pretty well, nothing too difficult to handle yet.

As you were the only one that knew of L's DID, you know, apart from Watari... you were the once covering for him when he was dissociating into the void or a switch was happening or had happened and the fronting alter had to pretend to be Ryuzaki to not blow their cover.

But you'd noticed something recently. They seemed to dissociate A LOT around Light. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was Ryuga trying to force his way to the front to fight Light again, maybe it was somehow triggering something? You didn't know. But they could barely hold a strong conversation with Light as they'd be constantly dissociating.

You kept a close eye on that...

"Ryuzaki?"

You watched closely as Light approached him.

"Yeah?"

"Check this out, there's a connection between Higuchi and the heart attacks"

"There is?"

He began to read over the documents on the screen, Light leaned in to get as closer look. That didn't sit well with Ryuzaki, it was subtle but you saw the boys go blank for a moment and suddenly jerk back into reality. Someone switched out. Whoever was fronting took a second to realise where he was and what he was doing and read the document over a little more.

"Uh... can you send that to me? I'll read it when I'm finished this" he said.

"Sure" Light replied, taking his laptop back to his desk.

You decided enough was enough. You were going to figure out why Light seemed to always trigger a switch. You got up and tapped Ryuzaki... well, whoever was frontings shoulder.

"Hey, can we talk for a second" you said.

"Ok?"

He followed you out into the hall and you leaned against the wall, sighing.

"I'm gonna guess... L?" You said.

"Yep"

"Ok, L... do you know why Light seems to trigger a switch? Or at least dissociating?"

"Not really... I mean we all don't like Light, but it's only ever Ryuzaki that steps away from the front. He HATES Light. I think he's hiding something from us but Ryuga and I have tried to talk to him and he keeps saying it's all fine?" He explained.

"That's odd... why does Ryuzaki hate Light so much he makes one of you guys front instead?"

"Do... do you think he knows something we don't? Maybe he's hiding sensitive information from us?"

"Maybe... but I've been here since before Light was and I haven't seen him do anything. Maybe he's salty at him for something?"

"I'm not sure, but it's getting kind of annoying switching out whenever he's around. No one tells me what we're doing and then I'm suddenly talking to Light? About what? I have absolutely no idea what that document was even about. That's Ryuzakis area of expertise"

You thought for a moment, trying to think about what could have happened to make Ryuzaki so mad at Light... or maybe he's scared of him?

"Tell you what, when he fronts again, I'll try and talk to him. Maybe he'll talk to me" You said.

"Thanks, I'm starting to get worried about him. I don't want him under that much stress or something bad could happen. It's especially odd since he's the primary protector, usually he'd be the one fronting around potentially dangerous people... well him for Ryuga, Ryuga will fight if he has to..." L said.

It was silent for a moment as you both thought, trying to come up with any explanation of why Ryuzaki was so... off around Light.

"(Y/n)... what if he knows something bad is going to happen and isn't telling us?" L asked, a worried expression on his face.

"I'm sure if that's the case he's trying to think of a way out of it. Or he's keeping the details from the both of you to not trigger anything. Ryuzaki wouldn't want the system in danger" you replied.

He sighed, pulling you into a comfort hug, needed some contact comfort to ease his anxiousness about the situation. You wrapped your arms around him and gave him a reassuring squeeze.

"I'm sure he's just salty at Light or something. Don't stress over it, I'll talk to him"

He tightened his grip on you and giggled.

"Thank you, I love you (y/n)"

God L was such a softie.

"I love you too"

It was silent for a moment as you just enjoyed each others embrace.

"I can feel Ryuga close to the front, but I'm not letting him front if I get to be with you" he laughed.

"Didn't Ryuzaki make a rule about that?" You giggled.

"Ryuga can hug you later, you're mine now"
