A friend of mine and I were discussing L from Deathnote and how he is always seen eating sweets. She says randomly "Baked Alaska! Cause it has fire!" Thus this was born. No it isn't suppose to make any sense. It's just a little short piece I found in the depths of my hard drive. I don't own the characters.
Why L Should Never Have Baked Alaska
"Um… what are you doing L?"
Raito's uneasy voice carried through the otherwise empty room. His question went unanswered apart from the clattering coming from the other end of the chain.
Raito got up and investigated it with an unavoidable feeling of foreboding that was setting in. He peeked around the corner and saw something that would forever be burned into his memories. L sat over a ball of fire that lit his features in an unholy light that gave him a somewhat predatory look.
"Wh-" he cleared his throat "L, what are you doing?" The detective turned his eyes to Raito causing the self proclaimed God of the new world to waver in his steps.
"I'm having a snack." The Brunette edged closer to him slowly and peered over at the flaming mound of sugar. He couldn't see how it was particularly appetizing but he felt himself drawn to the flames all the same. There was something about it that drew him in and pulled his attention to the center of the inferno, much like the detective that sat before it, equally transfixed with the flame. Then, as though in slow motion, he cut off a piece with the end of his silver spoon and lifted it before blowing it out and taking a bite.
"Mm. I haven't had baked Alaska in a while. I find it oddly poetic, don't you Raito-kun?" There was a quiet moment during which many unspoken words rang in the silence. The two sat and allowed the thick words to wrap around them, not unlike the chain connecting them, both the physical and one destiny had attached. After a few minutes the fire had died out leaving them to stew in the heavy words. Silently the detective ate his treat and then held out the last spoon to the other. With a small smile the brunette took the offered spoon and watched the other leave the room.
"Oh and Raito-kun, do come to bed. You need your sleep." The insistent tug on the chain brooked no argument.
PS The title was her suggestion
PPS She knows absolutely nothing about Deathnote
PPPS When I mentioned the name of the other characters she goes "You've Got Mail!"… I sense a crack fic!
She is thus deemed RANDOMFRIEND
…as she walks away saying "I need food!"
Okay so R & R if you feel like it
