Hi Everyone, this is just a lil Death Note Christmas story that popped into my head, & is sprinkling sugarplum snowflakes into my dreams, so I had to write it. I do not own Death Note.
Christmas Cookies chapter 1 Dec 24 Christmas Eve
The taskforce meeting room filled with holiday decorations, & laughter, as Matsuda, & Misa, scurried about the room, spreading their hyperactive Christmas cheer. Light was helping Mogi, & Soichiro, set up a large pine scented tree, & carefully placing lights, & tinsel on the branches. Stockings had been hung by the computers, with care, in hopes that St Nicholas, soon would be there.
The only one not joining in the festivities was L, who sat in front of his computer monitor, studying leads on the Kira case, when Matsuda snuck up behind L, & plopped a huge fluffy Santa hat, onto L's messy raven head. L spun around slowly in his chair, fixing Matsuda, with a disgruntled expression, the Santa hat tilted sideways on his head, as he sipped a steaming mug of hot cocoa, Watari had just brought him.
"And why pray tell Matsuda, did you find it necessary to place this holiday themed acessory on my head for? I did not ask for it, & the fluffy ball on the tip, keeps getting in my face." L deadpanned, as the room burst into laughter.
"Aw come on Ryuuzaki, lighten up, it's Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year." Misa said in a singsong voice. "Besides, maybe I can get my Light kun under the mistletoe, for a holiday kiss." Misa said, as she held a sprig of mistletoe over Light's head.
Cringing, as he tried to shy away from the kiss obsessed Misa, Light, ducked a smooch, as Ryuk cackled with laughter, hovering in a corner, munching on a caramel apple, Light came over to sit beside a rather displeased L.
"Ryuuzaki, Christmas only comes once a year, & you do know, the legend of Santa, & how he brings gifts, to good girls, & boys, & he just might bring a certain detective, Christmas cake, & candy, you know?" Light said, winking at L, as he popped a candy cane, into the young detectives mouth.
"Yes Light, I have heard, of this Santa person, & it is highly unlikely such a person actually exists. There is a 29.8% chance that an overweight bearded man in a red suit could deliver gifts to every person in the world, plus a 0.1% chance that he has a team of flying reindeer, & a 80.9% chance that this Santa is in fact a criminal himself." L said, with a slightly smug smile, as he licked his candy cane.
"What Ryuuzaki...how could you say such a thing about Santa Claus?" Light asked a bit shocked, as the task force, & Misa stared at L incredously.
"Ryuuzaki is so stupid, & mean, Santa is not a criminal." Misa said marching up to L, & yanking his candy cane out of his mouth, & pushing his hat over his eyes.
"Ah, but where is your proof Miss Amane? The way I see it, this Santa person has a habit, of breaking & entering into complete strangers houses, stealing their cookies, & milk, & leaving mysterious, possibly dangerous packages under their trees." L said, smirking a little, as Watari brought him a plate of Christmas sugar cookies.
"That is the most ridiculous thing, I have ever heard of L, & that is going to get you placed on the naughty list, & all you will get is coal in your stocking." Matsuda said in a serious tone.
"Ryuuzaki, you really should lighten up, it's only a one time, of year holiday, meant to spread cheer, spend time with family, & spread peace on earth & goodwill towards men." Light said frowning as L turned back to his computer, clearing the holiday screensaver, as he did.
"Hm, well spoken, considering you are the #1 Kira suspect in this case, to speak of peace on earth & goodwill toward men. This raises your Kira percentage, to 97.9% for lying by rhe way." L said, taking a bite of his cake.
"What..how could you? I am not Kira! It's just Christmas L. You really are a scrooge." Light yelled, coming up behind L, to bop him, with a gift box lying on the table.
"99.9% Kira kun." L said ducking as Light swung the gift. "And I also am not the Scrooge character from Dickens 'A Chrimas Carol.' I simply have my own thoughts, & beliefs, & I also have never been especially fond of Christmas. It holds bad memories for me, & can be a bit depressing." L said glancing at Watari briefly, who smiled warmly, placing a hand gently on the young man's shoulder.
"You see everyone L lost his family many years ago in a fire, at Christmas time, & when he was placed in the orphanage, before I discovered him." Watari said, as L sat silently, staring sadly into his cocoa cup.
"Oh Ryuuzaki, I did not know, it was a bad time for you. You have our aplogies." Soichiro said staring sternly at the group, who lowered their eyes, as Light turned on a Christmas cd.
"I shall place out the cookies, & milk, & perhaps some eggnog, & cake, for Mr Claus, or in case, any children wander about searching for gifts, & snacks." Watari said with a smile, as L glanced up a bit curiously.
"I believe we should all retire for the evening, it is Christmas Eve, & in the morning, we can all open gifts, & prepare for the Christmas office party, & afterwards perhaps go caroling." Watari said glancing at the clock on the wall.
"I will be keeping watch on the monitors in case, some thief in a red suit attempts to steal my cookies." L said defiantly, as he clicked a set of red fuzzy holiday themed hancuffs onto his & Lights wrists, as Light sighed, & shook his head, & he followed the slouching detective down the hall, & into the bedroom.
