I'm sorry if I messed the ages up, but you really shouldn't focus on such things during a story.


"So these are the ones then?" L asked as he looked at a tiny troup of four boys through a window.

"Yes..." Watari smiled proudly. "They're the best the Wammy's house has to offer."

L stared at them quietly. The eldest, had spikey dark hair...he looked to be about 7.

The next one was a little blonde boy, around the age of four.

The third was a tiny boy with red hair who was three.

And the last had almost barely begun walking. He had bleach white hair, and was very pale.

"I want you to spend alot of time with them L..." Watari smiled at the twelve year old.

L blinked. "Me?"

"Yes you, they're going to need a role model to look after them. I think you are the most logical option."

"I suppose..." L said as he stuck his thumb in his mouth.

"I've arranged to have them come visit you at your residence whenever they please..." Watari explained

"What!? But Watari...I know nothing of children..."

Watari smiled. "L you are considered a child yourself you know."

L scowled at Watari. "I'm the worlds greatest detective Watari..." He said with a slight pout. " I don't have time for this."

"L..." Watari sighed. "These boys had no one to look after them before we came across them, and even now we can't devote are full attention to them. There are other children here. You know how that feels..."

L stared silently into the window, refusing to look Watari in the eye.

"They need someone right now..."

"What if they don't like me?" L asked, voicing his worries.

" If you show them kindness, I'm sure they'll adore you." Watari smiled taking L by the hand and leading him outside.

"Can we get some cake?" L murmured quietly as the exited the building.

"But we just had cake !"

L looked up with Watari with his big dark eyes. "I know...but..."

"Alright..." Watari smiled. "Let me guess Short Cake right?"

"With extra stawberries..." L smiled
