Ch. 2 Friendship
"Raito-kun shouldn't be Kira…but if he were, I would be in turmoil…because Raito-kun…is the first friend I've ever had."
I had stared at the back of L's head as he placed his spoon down on the small saucer that held his tea.
He wouldn't say that unless it were a trap. That man before me was not capable of having friends. Although I would admit that he is the closest I've felt in regards to intellect in all my years but…friends? I don't even think I am capable of having friends…No one was ever good enough… Not until now…
Those words constantly played over in my mind. It was long ago but… could he really have meant them? It had to have been something to gage my reaction. Nothing further…
I ground my teeth. This weakness was so unbecoming of me. I scowled at the thought that I may actually have meant what I said when I claimed that I thought of L as the same. There had to be some way to play this to my advantage. And this way must exclude my emotions from getting in the way. But how to play with his emotions while suppressing mine…?
