double agent

Third POV

L stares at his computer, face void of any emotion. His teeth lightly grazing against his thumb as he slowly brings his legs up to his chest.

"Staring at the screen won't answer anything." Chuckles could be heard behind him and the sweet scent of strawberry cake lingered.

First POV (Y/N)

He stares up at me and albiet ever so subtly, I can see his eyes lighting up. It darts to the cake I'm holding and a scoff emits from my throat. "Am I only good for desserts?" He gently takes the confection from my hands as if it were about to break at any moment.

"No. You help me solve cases too." L says softly, while indulging in the cake. I shake my head with a sad smile, "This is why we broke up. I wont be surprised if you die alone." He pauses and continues non bothered.

I swivel the nearest chair next to him and peer at the documents laid out on his desk. A name catches my attention- Light Yagami. Light attended my college, he's a straight A student and his father is highly respected in the police workforce. Why did L suspect him?

"I can almost hear your thoughts from over here. He's in my list because he has access to criminals and databases only for authorities. It explain how Kira is able to kill felons that weren't released to the public." He confesses with a hint of excitement.

"I know Light, he's a nice man. I can't picture him being Kira." L stares at me with an incredulous look. "I thought you were smarter than this Y/N. Maybe this was why we broke up." My mouth went dry and my gaze lowered to the floor.

Flashback (third)

L and Y/N were sitting on a bench placed under a blossom tree. The scenery seemed romantic but the events between the couple were far from that.

"I don't understand I've always been allowed in your cases. What's different?" Y/N argues, her hands shaking with rage.

"It's different (N/N) you wouldn't get it. This one is different." She scoffs at him and crosses her arms childishly. "We're a couple. A team. We always work on these together!" Her retort didn't seem to bother him, or break his cold facade.

"We shouldn't be a team anymore then."

First POV

I clear my throat and adorn a cheerful smile. "I feel bad for the next girl who falls for you. I think you treat your work better than your girlfriends." My tone was playful but my thoughts contradicted my expression. I received no answer per usual.

I checked my watch and gasped, "I need to get back my break ended." Hurriedly packing up my things and was about to sprint out of the hotel room when L grabs my wrist. He looked at me expectantly while tapping his forehead.

Even though we were broken up we kept the tradition of forehead kisses. It was just a simple act of affection that usually calmed the other in a stressed situation. That meant L was stressed. I kissed his forehead delicately and rushed out of the room.

Third POV

A silhouette crept in the midst of the crowd surrounded Misa Amane, model and actress. He watched intently as Y/N quietly sat on one of the benches with a book in her hand. She was uninterested in the commotion and it intrigued him.

"Light, let's go!~" Misa pulled Light from the crowd and dragged him towards the cafeteria.

Y/N infact was interested and watched the couple from her peripheral vision. She wanted to know why L was so keen that Light was Kira and despite his warning to not get involved, she rebelled.

She decided to follow her persons of interest and go to the canteen. Immediately she could spot them from Misa's bright blond hair and Light's tall statue. Joining them in the line Y/N was pushed by an impatient student behind her and she crashed onto Light.
