Warm Coffee and Early Snowfall

A frigid mass of delicate cotton slowly fell on the solid metal that composed the build and firmness of the headquarters. Black curious eyes noticed the snow from the distance and loved how they waltzed gracefully through the air. It was peculiar that the first snowfall would come at an early time. According to the news on TV, the first snowfall would come later in the middle of November. Instead, it came on the day before it. It was calming sight to see. Despite the killings and hunt for Kira, he has always wondered how the heavens can still bring forth another snowfall or tomorrow.


We watch the season pull up its own stakes,
And catch the last weekend of the last week.
Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away.

"How unusual. It's too early for a snowfall." Those curious eyes turned to his co-worker, one who was suspected to be Kira. It's been a while since Yagami Light has joined the investigation team. His finesse was remarkably amazing as well as his intelligence. To L, he seemed like a worthy opponent when it came to cleverness yet, when it came to physical features, he'd always look up to Light even if those words of praise were left unsaid.

You have stolen my heart.

Invitation only, grant farewells.
Crush the best one, of the best ones,
Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight
.

"Do you think it will last till tomorrow?" Light glanced at him with caution. He wondered if this was one of his other tactics to reveal his true identity. The only safe way for him was to play along. He had to be on his guard at all times. "Who knows? It's been a very busy time."


You have stolen my heart.

And, from the ballroom floor, we are in celebration,
One good stretch before our hibernation.
Our dreams assured and we all will sleep well.

Out of the blue, L stood from his seat. It surprised Light so much that he almost fell of his. He watched L as he entered the kitchen. Lately, he noticed that L had been acting a little awkward during the day. Matsuda and Aizawa were commenting about his behavior before they had left the headquarters. They said something about an occasion that will be happening. As of his knowledge, there was no upcoming occasion. Was there something he was missing? He started to wonder.


You have stolen my heart.

I watch you spin around in the highest heels.
You are the best one of the best ones,
We all look like we feel.

Light heard something being placed on the side of his wrist. It was a cup filled with warm coffee. The aroma satisfied and calmed his senses. He stared at the cup of coffee and then at L's blank face. He couldn't identify any emotion from his expression. "Thank you." Light smiled gently at L. He couldn't decipher if this was a trick or just plain kindness but nevertheless it wouldn't hurt to play along. L replied back with a faint smile and returned to his seat. After a few seconds, L received a new email. Leisurely, he opened it:


Happy Birthday, L.

He glanced at his partner's still blank look without tilting his head and gave him a gentle smile.


You have stolen my heart.
