Just Friends? ( Death Note Light x Reader x L )

Our Moment

Ryuzaki told everyone to go home and rest and we would come at another time with Light helping us. I decided to stay with Ryuzaki.

   " Y/n go home. "

   " No. "

   " You don't need to help me. You need to rest. "

   " I am fine Ryuzaki. Plus I want to stay here. I don't really have anything to do today and my house is empty. "

   " Fine, you can stay but please don't worry about anything until Light gets here. "

   " I can do that. "

I sat down on the couch and Ryuzaki joined me on the couch with his laptop. He started looking through all the information he knew on Kira and looking through the files that we had that were next to him. 

   " What's my percentage? "

   " 0%. "

   " Really? "

   " Why do you sound surprised? "

   " Usually, when you give someone a percent you stick with that person for a while. It's only been a couple of months and you stopped suspecting me. " 

   " Well, with everything that's happened it's proven that you're innocent. "

   " Thank you. " 

   " No need to thank me. You've proven to me that you are innocent. You did it yourself. "

   " Still, I feel like I need to say thank you. Ryuzaki why do you still suspect Light? "

   " You should know why or are your feelings getting in the way of that? "

   " My feelings are in check. "

   " How sure are you? "

   " Sure enough. I have noticed Light's attitude change but he's been normal to me. We've known each other since we were toddlers. He wouldn't kill all these people. "

Ryuzaki looked at me and leaned close to my face. I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.

   " You are not kids anymore. People change as they grow. "

   " Yes, but Light-"

   " But Light nothing. Your feelings are getting in the way of this investigation. "

   " They aren't. I just don't suspect Light. "

   " No, I believe that since Light is your boyfriend you have the feeling like you have to defend him. Which you have done since dating him. Before you did entertain the idea of him being Kira, but now that he is your boyfriend you don't suspect him. "

   " First of all I never suspected him and second of all what if someone did the same thing to your girlfriend? "

   " I don't have a girlfriend so it wouldn't happen. "

   " Let's say you had a girlfriend and she was acting the same was Light was. Would you suspect her? "

   " Yes I would, but I'm smart enough to not date Kira themself. "

I was stunned. I sat there and just stared at him with my eyes wide. I looked away and to the floor. My blush faded away quickly.

   " Well, you wanted me on this investigation for my smarts. So, wouldn't you have just insulted yourself and the team by having me here by claiming ' I'm not smart enough'? "

I felt him shift on the couch. I heard him set his laptop on the coffee table and I felt his hand hold my chin gently. He turned my head towards him. he held seriousness in his eyes like always but I could see a bit of love in his eyes. It made my blush come back to my face. He was still sitting in his weird sitting position, but his body was turned towards me. 

   " You know that's not what I meant. "

   " Then why say it? "

   " Because I was agitated. I apologize for what I said. But you are wrong and right. You bring pride to this investigation team because you think just like me which makes things easier. If it was up to me I wouldn't have asked you so long ago to help me with this investigation. "

   " Why? "

   " It's too dangerous now. There are two Kiras and one has the power to kill without knowing your name. All they need is a face. If this fake Kira knew that you are working with me then they would kill you instantly. "

   " I knew what I was signing up for all that time ago in the bakery. "

   " I understand that but had I known things would end up like this I wouldn't have told you who I was or asked for your help. "

I grabbed his free hand and held it gently.

   " Ryuzaki as you said we started this together so we are going to end it together. We will both live once this is over. "

   " I'll make sure we both live. I can promise you won't die Y/n.  "

   " Thank you Ryuzaki. I'll protect you when I can. "

   " I appreciate it very much. "

Ryuzaki pulled away and grabbed his computer and I scrolled through my phone until a question popped into my head.

   " Ryuzaki why do you care about me so much? You always kiss my forehead and treat me differently than the other task force members. "

   " Because we are alike. You think as I do and that's something I've not seen. Except for maybe Light. I also want the best for you Y/n and the explanation to that is something you are not classified to know. "

   " How can I be classified to know? "

   " When I think you can be classified to know. "

   " Which is? "

   " Never. "

   " What!? "

I hit his shoulder and leaned back against the couch. I stayed like that for a few minutes until I felt something touch my cheek. I looked and saw Ryuzaki holding a fork out to me with a strawberry on it. I bit the fork and took the strawberry and ate it.
