L sat in the corner booth, furthest from the well lit windows, waiting for his copy to show.
Dring
'That damn infuriating bell'
L's head involuntarily looked up towards the door. L's vision just melted into one colour as he saw the tall male with hair so dark, night itself was bright in comparison, The bottom layer such a vibrant red it blocked out all the lights.
The male, had a dazzling smile as he graced the woman at the café bar, digging in his Skinny-Jeans pocket to hand the woman the change. L was so wrapped up in his thoughts, he didn't realise Beyond had slid in beside him.
'Now he knows im here. Well L, I know his Name.. You gonna ask him or me?'
"L? you wanna ask me his name?" L shook his head. "No, Beyond, I'm going to ask him." Beyond's jaw fell a couple of inches.
The teenager known, to B, as Lucien, took his tray off the counter and took the only available table, the one next to B and L's shared booth. B stared at the food on the tray, English Scones with extra jam, a pot of tea for 1, a black coffee, a croissant and a huge slice of strawberry Cheese cake.
Either this kid was starving, or he was waiting for some one. B chose the latter as Lucien pulled out a small, neatly wrapped present and placed it on the other side of the table.
The bell on the door rang out once more as L's number one suspect walked in, looked around and waved in L's direction.
"B, how does he know who and where I am?"
Light Yagami was still dressed in his school outfit when he sat opposite his English cousin, Lucien.
"Lucien! Wait till you see Sayu, she's decorated the house in balloons and streamers and when I left the house, she sat on a chair looking out the window for you. Mum's been cooking all day just for you, she won't let me taste any and Dad's trying to get his boss to let him take the rest of the day off. How have you been? Lucien?" L and B stared at one another, Lucien is somehow related to Light.
"Light, that's for you, from my mum." Light took the package and slowly unwrapped it. Inside was two rings with a label saying 'For Sayu and Sachiko', a key, no doubt to a deposit box 'For Soichiro', a key with a Ferrari key chain attached 'For Light' and note each addressed to one of them. Light took out his key and opened his letter.
Dear Light,
If you are reading this, it means I am most likely dead. Please don't worry I'm sure it'll all be alright.
I have a letter for you parents too, asking if , just for a while, my son could stay with you. His aunt and uncle are the only parent figures left.
Well, onto your present, with Lucien there should be a car, that car is now yours. Its not very pricey but it runs. I hope you enjoy it and look after it better now than when you and Lucien were children.
Thank-you for every thing Light, sorry this letter is in English. But with the brain you have, I am pretty sure you'll figure it out.
Love your Aunt Amber.
Light looked up at Lucien, his eyes wide. Lucien was silently crying.
"Mum thought you should have the car, because of that time i totalled it, remember?"
"Lucien, come on, Let's go to our house," Light grabbed Lucien's bag and headed over to the door.
'Poor Lucien,' Light thought, 'First his dad overdoses in front of Lucien and aunt Amber, and now she's dead too.'
Light opened his mouth to ask how she died when Lucien turned to Light and hugged him. "She burnt the house down with me and her inside."
Back inside the Cafe, L called watari for a ride back to the Investigation headquaters. Looking out the window B saw Light being hugged by the mini Jared Leto.
