Have you ever fell in love with someone so hard that you felt you'd go crazy if you weren't with them? Well even if you haven't I have, though I don't even think he realizes it. Well for you to understand, maybe I should explain my situation. You see I'm in love with the Great Detective L, and I have been since I went to Whammy's house. I'm one of the few people to ever meet L as L and it is for that reason I fell for him. For I feel that somewhere under his cold, expressionless exterior is someone who feels a bit lonely and is looking for someone. I didn't however know how true this was on the day I told L I loved him.
"You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep," I started singing, as I walked into the hotel L was working in.
The woman behind the desk looked at me for a second before pointing up with her index finger, signaling that everyone was upstairs. I in turn thanked her in sign language a thank you, while I headed upstairs, still singing Fireflies by Owl City. Yes, I know it's odd for someone to take the stairs when the elevators are working perfectly fine, but for one as klutzy as me, it would just be my luck for me to accidentally lean against the stop button and be stuck in an elevator for a few hours. So the stairs are safer for me.
When I came to the fourteenth floor, I walked through the door into the hallway, and made my way to the room 226. I Knocked on the door in my oh so random way, still singing might I add, until finally Watari opened up the door.
"Hi Watari-San," I greeted excitedly, as I made my way past him and into the room.
"Hello Kat-Chan," Watari responded, while shutting the door.
I looked around the room curiously, as I always did when L moved hotels, making sure I knew where all the exits and rooms were. Unfortunately I didn't watch where I was going and tripped over one of the many cords that littered the floor. I closed my eyes and held my breath, waiting my face to meet the floor, but was surprised when I fell on something sort of soft.
"Oh, Kat-San you're here." I heard an emotionless voice start, "It's so nice of you to drop in like that." (Aya: yes I know that was corny, but I wanted to put it there, so I did ^^. )
"Oh my gosh! L-Kun I'm so sorry!" I said, as I frantically scrambled to get up, flailing my arms as I did so.
'Oh wow, I'm such an idiot!' I thought to myself while blushing.
L smiled his kawaii* panda-like smile, saying, "That's alright Kat-San it was an accident."
I froze where I was, a look of disbelief took over my face, as I rolled my eyes saying, "L-Kun, how many time do I have to tell you to use Chan, if you're going to use honorifics. San makes me seem so old, and I'm only 19, so please, please, please just use Chan." I said, almost begging him.
"Alright," L said, going back to his emotionless state. "Kat-Chan it is."
I smiled triumphantly, as I sat down with my legs criss-cross next to L. He reverted his attention back to some papers he was looking at, and was sitting in his own unusual way.
I looked around the room once more, surprised at how silent it was, when I noticed the reason for that was besides L, Watari, who had excused himself to another room, and myself, no one else was here.
"L-kun," I said, while tapping his shoulder, "Where is everyone else?"
"I sent them home for the day, so they could get some rest. " L started, while taking his thumb and putting it to his lower lip in though. "Besides, I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Ok, I'm all ears." I said, while picking up a nearby pen, and dropping it, only to repeat this action continuously.
"Well Kat-Chan, what do you think of me?" L asked nonchalantly.
I dropped my pen, with a loud thump, and looked at L oddly. It was no secret to the other members of the task force that I had a huge crush on L, I had even made it pretty apparent during my days at Wammy's, but had L himself finally found out that I not only liked him, but was pretty much undoubtedly infatuated with him?
Trying to shake off the nervous feeling that was encompassing my body, I responded with a question, saying, "W-w-what exactly d-do you mean L-Kun?"
'Great!' I thought angrily, 'I must sound so dumb.'
"I meant what I said. What do you think of me?" L said unfazed by my stuttering.
'Oh Lord, what should I do?' I thought, as L waited patiently for an answer. 'Do I tell him the what I truly think, or do I lie and continue to hide my feelings? No, I should never lie. I promised myself I wasn't going to run away from my feelings if he asked my opinion, and I won't!'
I nodded my head to myself, before I looked back at L and said, "Well L-kun, there are many things I could say to describe what I think of you. However, to put it simply I think you are you." I smiled as I finished saying that.
L on the other hand seemed confused by my words, and said, "Would you care to elaborate?"
"Well L-Kun, I mean that you aren't afraid to be yourself. You don't care what others think of you, and you stand by your opinions and beliefs, even if no one else does. You're never swayed by other people's views if they go against your beliefs. Which is the biggest reason why I…"
I stopped as I realized what I was about to say, which caught L's interest as I heard him say, "You what?"
"I-I-I…" I stumbled.
'Oh come on just say it and get it over with!' the inner workings of my mind shouted at me.
"I love you." I whispered, a bright red blush covered my face, and I turned my head away.
"Well that's good." L said, as I turned back to him and saw him smiling. "Because I'm one-hundred percent sure that I love you as well."
I stared at L in disbelief; my mind almost shut itself down, while my heart raced in joy. Finally, after a few minutes of shock, I found my voice again, and said, "Really?"
L's smile widened a bit, and he leaned forward until his lips brushed mine, and said, "Really."
I couldn't take him being that close to my lips, and I pushed mine passionately against his, while I placed one hand on the back of his head, playing in his raven hair, while the other one wrapped itself around his neck. L returned the kiss with just as much passion, wrapping his arms around my waist, and rubbing his hand up and down my back.
After a few minutes, L and I broke away from each other, gasping for air. I lay my head on L's shoulder, and smiled up at him, as he looked down at me saying, "Hmmm… I was certain there was only a seven percent chance that was going to happen.
I rolled my eyes at L, before kissing him again. It was true I loved L, and it was true he loved me. We loved each other as we were, and although he never spoke those word to me, I knew it was true by the way he kissed me.
