Oh yea baby! I'm back!! But.. Only for three hours. That's how much time I was given to write by my mother. End of the exams yada yada yada. I'll start typing now and stop wasting time!
MACHI'S POV
I woke up with one hell of a headache. Gods.. What time was it? I checked my clock. 11:30 a.m. Which meant.. L wouldn't be over at Light's for another few hours. This was my last day with him, I should go see him now. Pen held out a bowl of raspberries when I came down the stairs. I smiled up at him and said, "Thanks Pen." He gave me a fanged grin and ruffled my hair. I ate rather quickly and got on my bicycle. "I'll see you tonight Pen!," I called back throwing caution to the wind. Sure I got a few stares for yelling at air but hey, they just thought I was crazy, they couldn't see my shinigami.
I hurried to L's house and knocked. He cracked the door open and smiled. "You feeling better?" he asked me. I nodded and chained my bike up quickly. I closed the door behind me and pinched my nose. "Am I always your cleaning lady?" I asked. Every time I came over his apartment was trashed and smelled awful. He gave me a sheepish grin and I immediately started cleaning. 4 loads of laundry and 2 bottles of febreeze later his house was at least presentable.
"So how long 'til you go over to Light's?" I asked. He frowned, "Light's coming over here." "Oh.. Well when?" "In.. 30 minutes.." He muttered. I gulped and muttered, "I better go then, I-I'll see you tomorrow L." That's just the thing though, I iwouldn't/i see him tomorrow. I gave him a weak smile and picked up my bag. "Good luck," I mumbled as I walked out the door. No, this wasn't the seventh day, but how my death had been planned was the easiest way to transfer the years. In about 2 hours I would be hit my and eighteen-wheeler and set into a severe coma. Two days later L would decide to pull the plug on me. He would hold my life in his hands, just like I always wanted him to.
I hopped on my bike and stopped at the ice cream shop. Pen was behind me again. "2 scoops of chocolate raspberry please," I said to the lady behind the counter. She gave me a soft smile and got my order. I paid her the 285 yen (about 2.75 in U.S. terms) and sat on the corner. Pen sat beside me. "You don't have to do this you know," he said. "I know," I whispered. To be honest, I was scared. Really scared. I didn't know what dying felt like.. I quickly finished my ice cream and went to the nearest bookstore. I picked up an art book and flipped the pages so it looked like I was reading. Truthfully I was thinking. He's definitely worth it. My life isn't headed anywhere.
Besides it was even easier on me this way. I wouldn't have to be on the sidelines watching the guy I had recently realized I love kiss someone else. I had realized it last night really, when I had woken in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. The words kept going through my mind. iI love him. I love him./i Pen then whispered in my ear, "It's time." I nodded numbly and stood up. I put the book back in its section and walked out the door. I stood on the sidewalk for a full minute. "Here I go," I muttered. I took a shaky breath and began to walk across the busy street. That's the last thing I remember.
L'S POV
The hairs on the back of my neck suddenly stood up. I had the feeling something terrible had happened but I didn't know what.. Light was rambling on about the boring project. "Hey, earth to L, can you here me Lawliet?" Light said waving his hand in front of my face. I nodded and he continued. I watched how his lips moved, perfectly forming every word. My eyes then moved to his. He wasn't looking at me so he didn't notice my staring. His eyes were absolutely beautiful.. "Um, L? What're you doing?" he asked. I had realized that I was leaning towards him.
"Nothing," I said quickly feeling my cheeks colour. He cocked an eyebrow but looked back down at our books. I noticed his cheeks were a little pink too. Damn it, why did it have to be so hot this time of year? "Hey Light, you wouldn't feel weird if I pulled my shirt of would you? Its so damn hot," I muttered. He shook his head and started writing. I pulled my white t-shirt over my head. That when I saw him look up. His eyes traveled over my chest, down to my abs, then even lower. I smirked. Maybe this wouldn't be as hard as I thought..
