Jay's POV

"So…who's this, Light-kun?" Misa asked, her high-pitched voice even more annoying than her personality.

"I'm Jay," I replied, politely introducing myself. Misa's eyes flickered from me to L and back again.

"Oh…I see!" she giggled. "So, how long have you two known each other?"

"Approximately fifty days," L muttered through his cake.

"Really? Only fifty days? Light and I have known each other for ten weeks. Ten blissful weeks!" Misa sighed, throwing soppy looks at Light.

Oh, dear god, save me now, I thought. I'd only been here for five minutes, and I was already just about to jump out the window. Or throw Misa out it.

Meanwhile, Misa was rambling on and on about her relationship with Light.

"…and our first kiss was only a few days after we'd met! Isn't that right, Light?"

"Uh-" Light coughed.

"I thought so! What about you two? When was your first kiss?"

I looked up in shock and horror, meeting L's eyes. He had frozen, a piece of cake halfway to his mouth. I could feel a blush forming on my cheeks, and noticed, with some amusement, that there was color in Ryuzaki's face, as well.

"Ohmygod! You two haven't kissed, yet? And you've been going out for fifty whole days!" Misa exclaimed. "Well, go on! Get over here, Ryuzaki!"

L looked over at her, eyes growing wide. "I…beg your pardon?"

"Come over here and kiss her! Here, I'll even scoot over!" Misa slid to the end of the couch. "Scoot over, Jay-chan! Make room for Ryuzaki!"

"I…I assure you, that is not necessary," L stammered, drawing his legs closer to his body.

"Misa, we're not dating," I explained, mortified, but she only looked confused.

"Well, of course you are! Why else would Ryuzaki have brought you here, if it wasn't a date?"

"Light-kun thought that it would be beneficial to have another woman in the room-" Ryuzaki began, but Light cut him off.

"I never said that, Ryuzaki!"

"In fact, Ryuzaki was the one who brought up the idea in the first place," I added, eyeing L suspiciously.

"Well, that settles it, then!" Misa proclaimed. "You're dating, so get over here and kiss Jay-chan!"

L began rapidly shoving cake into his mouth, muttering something unintelligible. I took a sip of root beer, my face red.

"Oh, come on, Ryuzaki," Light grinned. "It has been fifty days, and I'm sure that Jay-chan's pretty upset that you haven't kissed her yet…"

"Light!"I spluttered in horror, almost spitting out my mouthful of root beer. L shot a nasty glare at the man sitting beside him, setting his cake down on the table. Oh, crap. Now Misa's never gonna let this go…

"What's wrong, Ryuzaki? You don't seem all that motivated to me," Light said. My eyes widened. Oh, great.

L immediately pounced on the line. "You're right. Actually, I'm kind of depressed."

Here we go. Better grab the popcorn.

L started on his rant, putting a slightly mournful expression on his face. The lines were flawless; I felt as though I was a psychic, knowing what everyone was going to say before they said it.

"It's probably best if I just stop trying so hard," L sighed. "Yes, it was all just a waste of time."

Light stood, bunching his hand into a fist. "Ryuzaki…"

"Hmm?" L looked up, an innocent expression on his face.

POW! Ryuzaki flew across the room, knocking over lamps, chairs, and the table. Light followed in his wake, pulled along by the handcuffs. Misa stood, wailing, then stepped in a slice of cake. "Waaaaahaaaa…eeewww!"

"You know…" L began, sitting up and rubbing his cheek, "…that really hurt."

Light stomped up to Ryuzaki, grabbing him by the front of the shirt. "What is your problem? If it was all just a waste of time, then why did you involve all of those innocent people? And, more importantly, what was the point of putting Misa, Jay, Olivia, and me behind bars?"

I gave a little start as I heard our names inserted into the familiar line. It brought me back to the present; I had been sitting there, merely watching the fight, as though I was watching it on television.

"I understand. But still…whatever the reason…" L ducked down, twisting his body to give Light a powerful kick to the jaw. Both went flying, Light dragging Ryuzaki this time, into the opposing couch, knocking it over. As the pair flew past me, the chain linking them swung out. It connected with my can of root beer, knocking it out of my hand. I sat there, momentarily frozen, watching in horror as the heavenly liquid drained out of the can and into the carpet.

"Oh…no…they…didn't…" I stood, my eyes blazing. Vaulting over the overturned couch, I landed between Light and L, the former of which just about to punch the latter in the face.

"You!" I hissed, shoving Light onto his butt. "Sit down!"

"You!" I turned on L, who was crouched on the floor in a ninja pose next to me. "Stay seated!"

Light tried to get up, but I put a foot on his chest. "Don't make me sit on you," I growled, my eyes flashing dangerously. Light glared at me, but stopped in his efforts.

"Now," I began, leaning against the couch and wiping my bangs out of my eyes, "you two are going to clean up this room, and when you are done, you're going to apologize to Misa for ruining her date. Are we clear on this?"

"I believe that Light-kun was the one that started the fight-"

"Don't make me start on you, Ryuzaki," I warned. "You were goading him on; you are equally at fault. Now, get started, before I start talking like an angry mother." I started to walk around the couch.

"Too late," Light muttered. I paused, turning back to glare at him, then sighed.

"Just clean."

Later that night, Olivia and I were wandering the hallways on our floor, talking in muted voices about the case. We were just passing our room when we heard the elevator ding, the doors sliding open. We waited in silence as a pair of footsteps approached. Light and L turned the corner, dark bruises apparent on their faces. I sighed angrily, shaking my head as I slipped into the room, closing the door behind me. I was still mad at them; at Light for making Misa think that L and I were dating, and at L for dragging me there in the first place. And both of them for spilling my root beer.

I heard Olivia begin to talk with them, no doubt telling them to leave off. Or, at least, that's what I hoped that she was telling them. Groaning, I stepped into the bathroom, flicking the light on. And stopped dead in my tracks. I immediately backpedaled, closing the bathroom door behind me.

"Ohhhhmygod." I breathed, petrified. "O-kay. I can handle this."

I sneaked over to the closet, rummaging through the various items stored there. I began grabbing random articles of clothing, shoving them on fervently. After a few minutes, I was ready. I stood outside the bathroom door wearing my 'battle armor' and slowly creaked open the door, a huge wad of Kleenex in one hand. I immediately spotted my target, resting innocently on the ceiling. I shuddered in disgust. Oh, god. That thing's huge…it must be at least three inches long…ugggh…All, right…I can do this…

Olivia's POV

"I really hope that you two came to apologize to her," Olivia stated, glairing at the pair. "She's absolutely furious at you."

"Yeah, I know. You realize that she made us clean the whole room after we'd trashed it?" Light shook his head.

"Light-kun and I decided that it would be best to give her some time before we attempted to apologize," L added. "However, perhaps that was not the correct plan…"

Olivia blinked. "No, it was perfect. If you try to apologize right away, she just snaps at you. Trust me, I've tried."

Near squeaked as if in agreement, rubbing his paws over his nose.

"Why did you bring her up there, Ryuzaki?" Olivia asked, tilting her head slightly. "And don't give me that 'it would be better for Misa' crap. I know that's not the real reason."

L looked slightly uncomfortable. "I-"

At that exact moment, there was a loud scream from inside Jay's room.

"Holy shit, that thing moves fast!"

"Jay?" Olivia raced into the room, followed by the two men. Various crashes and bangs were coming from inside the bathroom. Olivia tried to turn the handle, but it was locked. She pounded on the wood of the door.

"Jay, are you all right?"

"You're not getting away from me!"Jay yelled from inside the bathroom.

There were five or six loud bangs in succession, making the floor shake slightly.

"I got it!" Jay called, relief apparent in her voice.

The handle rattled, and the door opened, revealing Jay, wearing gloves, sunglasses (over her regular glasses), scarf (wrapped around her mouth), and a pair of too-big earmuffs. In her hand, she held a wad of Kleenex, inside which could be seen the remains of some large insect.

"Centipede," Jay shuddered, tossing the bundle into the trash can.

"Jay…what…?" Olivia stuttered, eyes wide.

Light snickered. "What the hell are you wearing?"

Jay looked down. "I…I don't really know," she admitted, beginning to laugh.

Jay's POV

After everyone had calmed down and I had taken off my 'battle armor,' L and Light began to apologize, but I cut them off.

"It's all right," I smiled. "You can repay me by taking Olivia next time."

"Hey!" Olivia punched my arm good-naturedly. "No way am I putting up with that! 'It's been fifty days and you haven't kissed yet?'"

"Ohmygod, that was so embarrassing…" I felt myself going red again.

"I almost died laughing," Olivia grinned. "The look on your faces was priceless! And you should have seen Matsuda's reaction…"

"Well, at least she didn't make us kiss," L muttered, taking a sip of root beer. I looked over at him in horror.

"You mean, she actually would have…hey, where did you get that?"

L pointed. "From the refrigerator."

"That's mine!"

"Actually, I bought it, so it's technically mine."

"You gave it to me, so it's mine!"

"Ah, but if it was originally mine, I have the right to take it back at any time."

"Not if it's a gift!"

"It's too late, anyways. I already drank half the can," L pointed out. I glared at him, then snaked my hand out and plucked the root beer out of his grip.

"Wha-"

I raised the can to my lips, draining it. As soon as it was empty, I handed the can back to Ryuzaki. "No hard feelings. You can keep it, now."

L stared at the empty can in shock, then met my gaze. I grinned, raising an eyebrow, as if to say, 'and what are you going to do about it?'

The corners of L's mouth twitched.

"I swear, they're perfect for each other," Olivia whispered to Light.

"I heard that!"
