Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note, episode 24, or the lovely array of faces made behind L's back.
AN: I know I should be finishing my multi-chapters, or starting my long crack-fic, or working on my upcoming character-piece.
Faces
"Psst. Aizawa-san."
Silence.
"Aiiiizawaaa-sannnn!"
"..." more silence.
"Aaaaiiiiiiiizaaaaawaaaaa-saaaaaaaaan!" The call was punctuated with a slap on the arm, loud enough to catch the attention of everyone in the room. Blushing, Matsuda waved the onlookers away with a nervous laugh. "Ehh, nothing to see here. Just trying to get my friend's attention." It might have been his imagination, but Matsuda could have sworn that he saw Aizawa's afro twitch. With much less force, the rookie poked his colleague's arm. "Hey, Aizawa-san?"
"...What Matsuda?"
Matsuda shook his head. "Wait a second." he squinted, staring intently ahead of him.
Aizawa sighed. If it would let him ignore the stack of files on his desk, then he could take a distraction or two.
"Now!" Matsuda whispered, slapping Aizawa's arm once again. "Did you see it?"
"See what?" The older man followed Matsuda's gaze, squinting as though that would make everything clearer.
"Darn, missed it again." A heavy sigh. "Maybe you'll catch it next time."
Next time? Just how many hours of arm-slapping would he have to endure? Before he could warn Matsuda that slapping him would most likely lead to a death that had nothing to do with Kira, his right arm was assalted once more.
"There! Look at Light-kun!"
"Matsuda you-!" Aizawa squinted. "...What is that?"
"You see? That look on his face!" Matsuda sounded immensely proud of himself. "He's been making those faces all day behind L's back."
"Dear god..." Aizawa winced. "Do you think L, y'know, notices?"
Matsuda shrugged. "I would notice if someone was looking at me like that." He leaned over and muttered, "I think it's called a rape face!"
Aizawa swallowed hard. Well, the title certainly said a lot. The chief's handsome son looked absolutely demonic.
Both men breathed a sigh of relief when Light's face returned to it's normal, far less disturbing look.
"What do you think it means?" Aizawa asked. He was surprised to find that he'd been holding his breath. Strange...
"Eh," Matsuda shrugged once more. "It's probably nothing."
"Gentlemen." L's sharp monotone made both men jump. He swiveled around in his chair, fixing both with a cold stare. "If Aizawa-san and Matsuda-san would care to rejoin the conversation, they are welcome." Matsuda's face flushed even brighter, and Aizawa grimaced.
Mogi nudged Sochiro. "Hey Chief, did you see the look Aizawa just gave L?"
EN: Lolwut? My mind is a strange place. Inspried by the revelation that if someone had seen Light making such murderous, psycho, rapefaces behind L (or any time something goes right for Kira), the show probably would have ended sooner.
