"Eat," said Light, pushing a plate of chicken and potatoes in front of L.
He mumbled through the spoon of cream in his mouth, "As you can see, I am in fact eating at this very moment."
Light rolled his eyes and muttered, "I meant real food."
The detective gasped and placed a protective hand around his slice of strawberry cheesecake. "Don't you ever offend cake again!"
"Fine then. No more kisses unless you eat anything other than cake."
In defiance, L dipped his teaspoon back into his plate. "Do you really believe that I'm some sort of child? You can't possibly think that I'd fall for such futile tactics," he said, pretending that Light's threats had been ineffective.
However, Light wasn't easily fooled. Raising an eyebrow, he shrugged, "Ok, then."
L's dark eyes widened in bottomless pools.

"A Death Note? Nice. Who'd be stupid enough to leave this lying around? I mean, it obviously wasn't real, but if I had a notebook like that, I'd be kind of protective of it, not leaving it in a random place like this.
A drop of water landed on the cover. I looked up, noticing that dark clouds were rolling across the sky. Ugh. Better call my brother Teru for a ride. I glanced back at the notebook. Sorry to whoever this belonged to. It was mine now!
As I picked it up, the world blurred slightly. The notebook flashed white-hot, burning my hand, but I couldn't let go of it. A sensation like I was falling came over me, and I blacked out."
