WHU challenge; one of L's themes, "Last."
Oh, by-the-by, L's habit of going straight to the snacks is derived from my own inability to step into the Borders near my home without walking straight to the manga.
Character(s): L/Ryuzaki
Setting: page.56 or something.
Spoilers: page.55, I suppose. Will only have significance if you've read page.58.
Last
Ryuzaki picked up a basket on the way into the grocery store and shuffled straight over to the snacks section. That was always where he started shopping; even if he needed something else, he would have headed to the snack aisle first. It was just his habit. As it was, today he was there to buy some more snacks. He scanned the shelves eagerly, picking this and that and tossing them into the basket.
As he did so, he couldn't help but imagine the incredulous look Light would have given him if he'd seen his selections. Light didn't exactly approve of Ryuzaki's sweets habit and had made that quite clear when they were handcuffed together. Now that they weren't, Ryuzaki supposed—
And then he had to cut his thoughts short because they were running off again, tracing along the evidence and analysis that, no matter how hard he tried, always led to the same conclusion: Yagami Light was Kira. But that was wrong. And he would just have to accept it.
With a short, petulant sigh, Ryuzaki picked out one last snack—a box of Hello Panda cookies—and proceeded to check-out.
