LET'S GET SOME SEXUAL TENSION STIRRING SHALL WE? :P
Calm down Hush and just tell them the stupid story…
...
Haley couldn't stand it. She had been there a week and was bored out of her mind. She had investigated every room of the building, accompanied Watari to all the nearby shops, she was sick of it all.
She wanted to go home, but she no longer had a home, and although L had promised to help her fully once the Kira case was over, that didn't seem as though it was going to happen any time soon.
She took the lift to the investigation floor and was surprised to find that only Light and L were sat working. Haley knew by now that Light was under constant supervision by L, meaning that he couldn't leave the building without him. She also knew how frustrating that must be for him.
"Hey guys, where is everyone?" She asked, flopping down onto a sofa by the door.
Neither the detective or the teenage boy turned to acknowledge her, their faces glued to their computer screens.
"I let them have an hour's break." L finally replied, spinning in his chair so that he faced Haley.
"And why aren't you two having such a break?" She raised her eyebrows beneath her spiky purple fringe.
"I don't need to have a break; my mental capabilities are still high without requiring one." L picked up a cup of coffee and sipped it delicately whilst Haley rolled her eyes and snorted slightly.
"That's no fun at all."
"The Kira case is not supposed to be fun."
"I know, but you can't completely cut fun out of your life because of a case." Haley leaned forward in her seat and Light turned round in his own seat.
"Actually, Ryuzaki. She may have a point; we have been working on this case for a long time now. Maybe a little bit of fun will help lift this serious mood?" He raised his eyebrows in suggestion and L stared at him blankly before turning his gaze to Haley.
"Well... What do you suggest we do for fun, Violet-san?" He asked, dark grey orbs meeting her lively green ones.
"Erm well... We could listen to some music for a start!" Haley leapt from the sofa, pulling out her iPod and plugging it into the nearest computer so that music blared out of the speakers.
L watched as Haley walked towards the two men, swaying her hips to the music. He recognised the song from an English band they had once listened to together.
Haley started to sing along to the lyrics, her face alight as she danced along to the music.
"So if you're lonely, why did you say you're not lonely, oh you're a silly girl..."
She reached L, and held out her hands to him. He simply blinked back at her, confusion spreading across his face which reminded her of a small child. She grinned and took his hands herself, pulling him out of his seat so that he stood awkwardly in front of her, his hands still clasped in her own.
"No you don't even know me, oh, you're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye, a girl like you is just irresistible!" She sang along as she pulled him towards her, placing her hand on his shoulder and then moving his hand to the side of her waist so that they were in the dancing position.
She started to lead them around the room, moving him quickly and jokingly to the beat of the song. He awkwardly moved with her, his bare feet stumbling after her own. He was aware of her warmth where his hand held her waist and he fought the urge to pull her closer to him so that their bodies would collide.
The moment was broken though as her hand slipped from his own. She moved away to pull Light from his seat, dancing with him in the same way until he was laughing along with her.
L watched them with wide eyes, his hand still tingling from her touch. Light knew just how to move with her, he was absent of the awkward stumbles and unpreparedness L had shown. L cursed himself inwardly for ever having let her dance with him in the first place. He moved back towards his seat in order to get back to work but a hand on his arm stopped him.
"Hey you! I'm not finished dancing with you!" He turned to Haley, her face happy and slightly flushed from the dancing.
"You should know that dancing is not one of my strong points. Yagami-kun is a much more able partner."
"But I want to dance with you." Her smile faltered just slightly, her stubborn grip on his arm not loosening.
L looked at Light for help but the teenager simply gave a mischievous grin at the two of them.
"I am just going for a snack... Won't be long." Light announced and exited the room quickly, leaving L with a slightly desperate look on his face.
"Come on!" Haley pulled L once more into a clumsy spin which made L feel dizzy and uncomfortable; scared that this sudden motion may cause the endless amounts of cake he had consumed to make a sudden re-appearance.
She laughed at the scared look on his face and slowed down, beaming at him. The song ended and a new one began, however, the song was slower, a lilting piano tune with a woman's voice drifting out over the room.
"You've been on my mind, I grow fonder every day, lose myself in time, just thinking of your face..."
The two of them stood opposite each other, L trying to ignore the tension building in the air between them.
"So... This was fun." He said, a slight question in his low voice, as though he wasn't quite sure what to believe.
"Yes." Haley said and suddenly she brought her eyes to meet his own, the force of her gaze hitting him much more than he dared show on the outside.
Haley stepped towards him and once more took his hand in her own, placing them in the dance position once more. However, L recognised the difference this time. Her eyes had lost their childishness but there was still a different kind of emotion lingering in the dark green pools. She smiled at him, but it was a shy smile and when she started moving, it was slower, graceful against the lilting piano.
"You never know if you never try, to forget your past and simply be mine..."
The song played out and gave L a new courage. He pulled her waist closer, his spidery like fingers reaching round to the small of her back.
She looked up at him as she moved closer, yet his face gave little away, his eyes looking down at her calmly. She tightened her grip on his hand and a small ghost of a smile flickered across his lips. She smiled herself, choosing to rest her head on his chest. He stopped moving when she did this but she didn't mind. Instead they stood still together, the music filling their ears,
"I know it ain't easy, giving up your heart..."
Haley closed her eyes, focussing on the shallow way his chest rose and fell with his breathing. L tried to steady his heartbeat as he stared down at Haley, whisps of her hair tickling his bare neck. He was confused, and scared, but happy. So happy to have her here in his arms, and it was this happiness that caused him to feel confused and scared.
All Haley could think was how much at home she felt leant against him, how safe she felt with his hand resting on her lower back. She breathed in the scent of him, strawberries and sugar and a slightly musky smell which made him seem so human to her.
"Did you two want anythi-"
Light burst into the room but stopped instantly at the sight of them. L quickly jumped away and Haley was startled backwards. Light glanced at them both, a carefully planned apology forming in his lips. Before it could be said though, Haley rushed past him and out of the room, calling as she went,
"Enough fun for you two! Get back to work!"
Light turned back towards L and recoiled slightly in shock at the sight of a blush spreading on L's usually white face.
"She is right Light-kun. There is much work to be done." He said quickly and seriously, returning to crouch back on his seat but not before pocketing Haley's iPod. He bent down over his sheets of paper, his black mop of hair falling to cover his embarrassed face.
Still stood in the doorway, Light grinned devilishly. So it was true, Violet and L were becoming even closer. Soon Kira would be able to use her to gain important information, and then... L would die.
…
Light's a bitch, and then you die. That's my new saying, because in all honestly, he is a bit of a bitch.
So, if any of you guys were wondering about the songs included, they are "Whistle for the choir" by The Fratellis and "One and Only" by Adele.
