Being the youngest task member sucks. Not only am I the youngest, I'm pretty sure L thinks I'm stupider than my brother, Touta. Why they keep me, beats me. I once asked Watari this and he said that L needs someone who's resourceful when it comes to using dangerous materials of cleaning. It was after Watari walked away I realized that he basically called me L's maid.
"Ready to go Jun-chan?" Touta asked me as he put on his coat.
"Yeah, just let me give this cake to L," I said as I put the finishing touches on the strawberry shortcake in front of me.
"Why?"
"Don't you know? It's his birthday," I smiled.
"It is?" Touta asked, his eyes wide. I just shrugged and picked up the cake, balancing it as I exited out the door. "How do you know?" Touta echoed as I waited out in the hallway for the elevator.
"I don't," I answered simply, a smile intact on my face.
"Then-"
"Well, since I don't know his birthday, I just thought what better day it should be on than Halloween? He loves candy, you get tons of candy on Halloween, and uh eh," I shrugged again, unable to finish my thought with words. The elevator doors opened and Touta and I entered the elevator. The doors shut smoothly and we waited in silence as the elevator ascended. I stared at my reflection in the elevator doors smoothing out my maid costume and adjusting my lace headband. It was Halloween after all and I've always celebrated it no matter how old I was. Touta tried to pe
"Want me to come?" Touta asked as the elevator stopped on the top floor and the doors opened up.
"Nah. I won't take long so go on ahead of me," I said as I exited out of the elevator Matsuda nodding in recognition as Matsuda descended.
I sighed as I walked down the hallway towards the main room, suddenly nervous for some strange reason. Not because I liked L or anything…that would…be just weird…I mean no sane girl would love him and his messy jet black hair, his poor posture…his…ebony eyes…which just seem to peer into your heart…-Wait. No. Stop…stop!
I stopped in my tracks and shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I don't have a crush on L…pfft…liking your brother's boss is just plain weird…heh heh heh…
"Yeah, weird. Completely weird…" I mumbled as I quickened my pace to the main control room where I knew L would be. I inhaled deeply before walking into the room only to be met with…no one.
"Hello?" I walked into the room, wondering where everyone was.
"Ah. Miss Matsuda."
"Eep!" I squealed as I slowly turned around to see Watari standing behind me, a warm smile on his face.
Even though his smile was pleasant, I knew he was hiding his secret that he was a ninja wizard magician. How anyone could produce like twenty tons of sweets for the never ending eating machine called L is officially my hero.
"Hello Watari. Where is everyone?" I asked, getting over my mini heart attack.
"L sent everyone home for the day."
"Why?"
"Between you and me Miss Matsuda, I believe he's wants to relax for the rest of the night," Watari answered, his smile never leaving his face.
L? Relaxing? Yeah right. And my brother doesn't have a fear of the dark. Between us, he does.
"I agree with you that the idea of L relaxing does seem a bit off, but I assure you that there's nothing to worry about."
"I said that aloud didn't I?" I asked Watari who just chuckled and answered, "I believe you did."
"Oh," I blushed and pushed my glasses awkwardly up before remembering that I had L's cake. "Watari, do you"
"He's in his room Miss Matsuda. Twenty fifth floor, third room to the left," Watari answered before I could get the question out of my mouth. See. Not only is he a ninja wizard magician, he's a ninja wizard magician that can read minds…
"Uh, thank you Watari," I smiled awkwardly as I exited out of the room.
"Miss Matsuda?"
"Hmm?" I turned around to see Watari's back to me.
"I assure you I am not a mind reading ninja wizard magician," Watari turned his head, with his smile on his face before the door closed.
Okay, that was really creepy…I shrugged my shoulders and went back to the elevator to ascend up higher again. Hmm…now that I think about it, what am I going to say to L when I give him the cake? Here L, happy-fake-birthday? No. That sounds weird.
"What am I going to say?" I put my pointing finger to my lips in thought. What am I going to do? It wasn't soon before the elevator stopped and I absentmindedly walked out of the elevator and continued down the hall and soon I was stopped before L's door. I raised my hand, ready to knock before the door swung open, revealing the black haired genius.
"I see you've brought cake," L looked at me then the cake hungrily.
"Yeah," I smiled. I stood awkwardly in my maid costume as I could feel L's coal black eyes look me up and down as I shifted from foot to foot waiting for L to either invite me in or take the cake from my hands so I could escape from his intense gaze.
"Would you like to come in?" L asked thumb rubbing against his soft pink lower lip.
"Huh? I mean, okay," I recovered as I following L into his room, a blush adorning my cheeks. Remember breathe. In, out. In, out. He just invited you in to be polite. Nothing but that. I looked around to the room to see it resembled a regular hotel room, with sweets strewn around the ground, as candy wrappers made a mini mountain on the coffee table. I carefully set down the strawberry cake and stood awkwardly again before I decided it would be okay to take a seat on the couch.
"Even though I do enjoy cake, I would like to know why you made it for me, Jun-chan," L asked, getting to the point as he sat on the opposite couch from me.
"Well, since I've never s-s-seen you celebrate your birthday and what better time to celebrate it than Halloween?" I asked sheepishly.
"Hmm…why Halloween?"
"You like candy, and what holiday to get candy than Halloween?"
"I see."
"…"
"…"
Well. This is awkward.
"Well, I think I should be going now. My brother is waiting for me," I bowed politely and walked towards the door.
"Jun-chan," L called.
"Hm?" I turned around to see L had risen up off of the couch and had walked towards me just in a couple of seconds.
"Thank you for the cake," L said, putting his thumb to his lips, hiding his small sheepish smile.
"U-uh," I stuttered, blushing at our close proximity, "n-n-no problem," I smiled back.
Remember, breathe! In. Out. In. Out. IN! OUT! I said to myself. Just as I was reaching for the door handle, the room suddenly went dark.

Watari, watching the whole scene from the main control room sighed at the two. He obviously saw that Jun had feelings for L, everyone on the task force could, even Matsuda could see that his younger sister likes the older man, but she never did anything about it. Yet, Watari could see that L reciprocated some of the feelings back. Since he raised L since childhood, Watari saw that L treated Jun differently. Just a little bit, but different just the same.
Deciding that enough was enough, Watari decided to formulate a plan. A plan that would take patience, but would work none the less for he was an inventor after all. The first step had worked just as he expected. Telling all the task force members that L asked them to leave early for the day was no easy task to convince everyone of, but he did it. The next step was to hint slightly at Jun how L hasn't celebrated his birthday in the year and that his favorite desert was strawberry shortcake. Jun then gave an expression of eureka and shut herself in the kitchen, baking up the cake. Now was the third step, one that he would be convinced would work.
Humming to himself, Watari 'clumsily' pressed a button that turned off all of the power for the rest of the building excluding the main control room.
"I'm sorry L and Jun, but it's for everyone's sake," Watari smirked to himself as he watched all of the rooms in the building turn black.
