Chapter 7 – Give it to Mello
"Here you are."
"Thank you, L!" Mello looked at me gratefully for the free chocolate and accepted the bar, happily beginning to unwrap it. I took a gumball from the tray of candy and popped it into my mouth.
"What is it you wished to discuss with us, L?" Near asked, looking at me and waiting for an instruction or assignment or something else. I chewed my gum, the sweet watermelon taste breaking out over my tongue. I didn't eat gum often, but I needed something to take my anticipation out on. What better object than a gumball?
"Yes, there is something very important I need to ask you." I carefully thought of what that would be, supposedly. I was wanting to ask them if they'd agree to get along through something of my preference, like a kiss, or I could ask them how they've been doing in school, which would provoke them to try solving this 'case' on their own. Either option seemed promising.
(Why don't you two kiss? – Ch 3)
(How are your studies? – Ch 9)
