Welcome to the prologue of Unintentional Love. I hope you like it and don't forget to review!
The sound of even but rushed typing permeated the silence of the hotel room.
'But…Ryuzaki could you please explain in more detail! I don't think any of us understand how you got to this conclusion.' Soichiro Yagami thundered at the sickly pale man, his natural calm unravelling.
The typing wavered as if deciding whether to go on or not. With a wistful sigh Ryuzaki looked up at Yagami-san's flushed face from under his bangs. His obsidian eyes roved around the room, noting the angry and disapproving faces of all the task force members in turn until they met me. Unable to look back into those blank, empty eyes I angled my head at the carpeted floor.
'I only explained that Raito-kun is the most likely Kira suspect,' he said in his unfeeling monotonous voice. My hand curled into a fist but I forced myself to stay silent. No matter what I did it would only lead to the chance of me being Kira going up. My lack of response tipped my father over the edge as he was forced to defend for me.
'Raito can't possibly be Kira! I know my own son. He would never…'
'The chief is right Ryuzaki,' Matsuda, encouraged by my father's indignation, cut in. L sighed again, tuning out the upcoming stupidity Matsuda was sure to spew. 'L, oops I mean Ryuzaki, I've known Raito-kun since he was this high,' he gestured towards his knee, 'he wouldn't do something like that!'
'Matsuda's right!' Aizawa yelled over my father's continuous rant. Uh, I can't take this, I thought as I scooped up my bag and stormed out the room unnoticed by everyone except L.
No matter what L does I just can't be angry at him I thought in frustration as I left the hotel lobby. I'm thankful for Matsuda and everyone for sticking up for me but I can't stop feeling sorry for L being bombarded by people of lesser intelligence like that. He had only stated what he'd deduced from the situation and I would have come to the same conclusion. Probably. I allowed my feet to take me to the coffee shop I usually went for lunch in.
I made myself comfortable in my usual booth. A bleach blond waitress sauntered over to me flashing perfect white teeth and too much cleavage. People like these make me sick.
'I'll just have a coffee. Make it black please.' I gave her my award winning smile before turning to the cold window. Rain began to trickle out of the looming black clouds. It's such a shame that I was only able to join the task force so L could monitor me. He would have made a good friend. I just wish we hadn't met like this. For people like me and L it was hard to find those who we could truly connect with. It was as if we were a different species. I smiled gratefully at the blonde as she placed my coffee in front of me. Why does my life always have to be ruined because I'm smart? I'd always tried to make myself like everyone else but my intelligence always got in the way.
'I guess intelligence is more of a curse than a blessing,' I mumbled pessimistically against the glass.But it's always been this way. The smart person is always beaten up, always being taken advantage of. Always suspected of being strange and different. A great feeling of pity for L washed over me. It was obvious he hadn't been as lucky as I had in the past.
I sipped my coffee broodingly. If I could just prove to L that I'm not Kira then things would be better. We would catch Kira together. I saw the waitress that had served me dolling herself up even more (if possible) in my peripheral vision. I got it! I know how to make L trust me.
I quickly paid for my drink and exited the shop with a triumphant smile on my face. Not even the rain that stained my immaculate uniform could put me down as I had the perfect plan. It was so simple I'm surprised I hadn't thought of it before.
I just needed to get L to lust for me.
Can't be too hard.
I know it's short but the next chapters will be longer. Please, don't forget to review!
