"No, I have already explained this to you. I will not exploit Misa's feelings for the case. Can you stop with this already?"
Light rubbed the bridge of his nose, resting his back against the hard plastic of the chair, his bangs rustling against his brows, the metal of the handcuff rubbed against his wrist as L reached for yet another sugar cube, dropping it into the hot coffee before him, watching as it dissolve quickly into the steaming liquid, a low displeased grumble came from the raven haired man as he turned to Light.
"I understand where you're coming from, but we need her for this investigation, at this point I don't care about morals…" he plucks a delicate chocolate from the bed of sweets, guiding it directly into his mouth, munching slowly before muttering.
"If you want to catch Kira, you'd do this. Not just for me, but for the world as we know it..You did say you'd do anything to catch him…correct?" L recalled, licking the tips of his stained fingers, his eyes lingering over the blonde idol on the large screen above, waiting for another complacent claim from the brunette shackled to him.
"I know what I said..and I stand by it…"
Light admitted, crossing his arms, shutting his eyes as he went on. "But as I said…it's completely one sided. It'd be unfair to use her in such a degrading way."
L could sense the lingering in Light's speech, he was growing weary of listening to the same lackluster excuse from him, L sighs, crumpling a wrapper from the chocolate in between his lanky fingers.
"Light, all I'm asking is for you to…get to know her…see how it goes. We need her. You and I both know this, we also know that she will bend over backwards for you. So please, humor me? I'm practically begging."
L swivels the chair to the right so he was facing the brunette now, his sunken eyes staring intently into the sepia ones across him as he went on, pressing his thumb to his lower lip.
"What do you say, Light?"
Light slowly lifted his glance up to the screen, Misa was lounging on her couch a magazine captivating her attention, her long legs dangling from the furniture.
Again, he shut his eyes. Allowing a few seconds of silence to go by. He was tired of constantly being presented with this 'idea' and at this point, he began to believe in the detective's theory. Despite it going against his morals entirely, he had to catch Kira he couldn't let this go on.
A pang of guilt washed over him as he murmured the sweet words to the detective before him without even looking his way, he knew L would have that smug smile, the one where he knew he'd gotten his way, like a spoilt child.
"Fine. But I will not get involved physically."
"Hm? I didn't mention anything physical…though I imagine that'd really rile her up."
L let out a quick breathy laugh before returning to his straight mouthed, monotonous expression and popped a sugar cube into his mouth, allowing the sugary substance to melt onto his tongue before devouring it fully. Wriggling his toes together as he spoke.
"I will arrange the dating schedules then…I was hoping you'd say yes. In fact, I knew if I asked enough, you'd budge." L drummed his fingers against his knees, his dark eyes watching the girl as he continued.
"They will consist of one hour only, no more, no less…they must be held in her room. The door will be locked at all times-"
"Why are you explaining all of this to me? And why lock the doors? You'll be there too, right?"
L shook his head, lifting his shackled wrist in Light's questioning face. Light narrowed his gaze, clutching the armrests of the chair he sat in.
"No, I feel that if I'm there, I will take away from the atmosphere…and to be honest, it'd be nice to be alone for an hour here and there…don't take a offense."
"What? Didn't you say that we'd be together all the time? Why the sudden change of heart?"
Light stood, visibly shaken by the messy haired man's words, he pulled on the chains that bound the two, L rolled his dark eyes letting out a small breath.
"Calm down, I can assure that I'll be watching, in fact, it'd be like I never left. It's only an hour."
Light purses his lips, unable to find the words to respond, just then his father and Matsuda enter the room, leaving the previous conversation at a standstill.
"Ryuzaki, any news? Good? Bad?" Matsuda chides as L returns to his dormant position, speaking in a hushed tone.
"No, sadly, we haven't gotten anything new…"
Light sat back down, pulling himself back to the open laptop, resting his chin in his palm, swiping the pads of his finger against the mousepad of the computer, his attention set on the files before L intervened once more.
"Hey Light, why don't we go visit Amane's room? I'd like to speak to her."
Without giving Light the chance to speak L hopped from the chair, tugging the young man behind him as he shuffled up the stairs slowly. Light stumbled upon the steps trying to keep up.
"What are you going to say to her?"
"The same I told you, I think she'll be happy to have some alone time with her Light…" L jokes as Light rolls his eyes entering the elevator with the hunched man.

"Ryuzaki this is the best news I've heard all week! Did you hear that Light? One hour, alone…just you and me.."
Misa jumped in joy, squealing, she was parading in a very provocative lacy black night gown that barely went passed her bottom, pairing it with thigh high white socks, her hair was down for the day as well, giving her a more grown up a appearance. She gleefully clung to the man before her.
Light stood still as a statue as Misa hugged his arm tightly against her chest, beaming at L with a joyous smile.
"I owe you big time!"
"You don't owe me anything…I just thought it was a bit much of me to completely strip you of your privacy with the man of your dreams."
Light narrowed his brown eyes at L who hid his smirk well, inching toward the starlit, dragging the chains behind him.
"Oh wow, You're so kind to think of me in a time like this!"
Misa let go of Light's suffocating arm to wrap hers around L who let out a pleased gasp, he'd never been this close to a woman, physically.
"You're welcome…don't make me regret this." He murmured taking in her candy scent before stepping back, stuffing his hands in his jean pockets once more.
Misa winked and shook her head, her golden locks swaying with her movements, she placed her hands above her heart as she spoke.
"I promise…you've made me so happy! So, when's our date?"
"Great question, tomorrow, around four in the afternoon. You should be done with your photoshoot, correct?"
"Yes sir! Oh I'm so excited! Aren't you Light?"
Light felt the weight of the two staring at him, he stared back at the girl who looked up to him with wide blue eyes, just waiting for him to speak. It was almost frightening.
"Yes. I'm looking forward to seeing you."
He forced a smile, stumbling back as Misa pressed herself against him once more interlocking her arms around his neck, her sweet scent overpowering his senses, he patted her back as she pulled away. Not wanting to be completely void of emotions. After all, he did agree to this. Or well, pushed into this.
"How…touching. Now, sorry to cut this short, but we have a case to get back too." L jingled the metal attached to him like a bell, moving his wrist back and forth watching the strange scene play out.
"Okay! Is there any way I can help? Any way at all? I get tired of laying around while Light is working so hard."
Misa suggests, placing her index finger against her lips her other hand on her hip as she hummed in a questioning manner.
"I think we've got it from here, Misa. How about you get some rest?"
Light interjects, moving so he was standing beside L, watching as Misa happily trailed to her bed, bouncing onto it, the two men couldn't help but notice just how confident and unbothered she was with showing off her assets.
"Well Light, if you get tired, you can always come sleep with me…"
She giggles as she pulls a pillow to her chest, hugging it intently. Her voice was hushed, soft and alluring.
"Goodnight, Misa." Light nods, pulling the chain this time to alert the obviously distracted detective who immediately chirped. "Yes, goodnight."
"Goodnight!" She calls as the two made their way back to the elevator. Back at the lobby Matsuda and Soichiro watched the camera with rather surprised expressions. The former chief shook his head turning away from the surveillance cameras and back to the paperwork in front of him.
"I wonder how Light gets anything done with that girl around, she's so willing to please him all the time...he's so lucky." Matsuda thought aloud, completely forgetting the presence of Light's father.
"Matsuda, get back to work."
"Sorry!"

"I forgot to thank you, Light. For going through with this, here."
L shoved a square piece of strawberry shortcake into the brunette's face. "Go on, this is my gift to you."
"I don't want your cake."
"Are you angry?"
L pouts, placing the spongy sweet beside Light's laptop with a soft click, his attention back onto his own piece of cake, stabbing the neatly sliced strawberry with his fork and examining it carefully as he muttered.
"Or..are you upset that you have to spend time alone with Amane?"
L took a bite from the fork, waiting for Light's response, it was going to be a long one, The onyx haired detective could tell.
"Both. I don't have time to waste an hour of my day when I can be focusing on Kira, just to possibly get some information from a girl whose infatuated with me. It's quite obvious she doesn't have any knowledge on Kira, or the second Kira."
"You're missing the point entirely…" L groaned, placing the fork back by the plate of half eaten cake.
"We need her…she's a public figure. We can use her to get information from suspects…she'd be our eyes so to speak…and ears, I suppose. Bottom line is, we can't leave this place, the two of us, so with Amane being the starlit she is, it'd be perfect to have her listen in on conversations or even get involved to gather more. No one would suspect a thing from her."
"There is no way Misa is getting involved, she can get killed." Light widens his eyes at L who was busy devouring the food before him, which angered Light even more.
"Ryuzaki, how do expect me to allow Misa to work on a case like this? Especially having her engage with suspects, what if she gets attacked? Or worse?"
"You're forgetting that we'd be watching closely, I'd have multiple uncover cops surrounding the area she is in, surveillance cameras placed in every corner, she'd even wear a microphone and a tracking device, making it nearly impossible for something bad to happen."
"And if Kira kills her? Manipulates her?"
"There is a chance of that happening…but it's a risk I'm willing to take. Everyone of us have to make it."
L shrugged, twisting his tongue around the metal fork, reveling in the sweet taste, thinking of more to say, choosing to ignore Light's open mouth stare.
"And the reason why you have to keep her interested, is because you'll be the one giving her the orders, of course I made them, but we'd go over them before you pass it on."
L could sense another outburst from the man beside him, slightly amused when the sound of the wheels of his chair slid against the marble flooring, a sound of defeat; L had won and that alone was enough for another round of strawberry shortcake.
