Okay, so again there was a big wait, but what matters is that I'm getting the new chapter in…YAY! So here you are.

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or any of its characters. I do not own the PrincessBride or any of its characters.

The smooth feeling of the tile floor against my feet was somewhat familiar to me by then. The hallway was quiet except for the soft patter of my steps and its echo. The corridor seemed dark to me, though all along the length of it there were large windows that stretched from the floor to the ceiling. The light that came through the glass seemed like it only sprinkled it's light around and refused to actually give us any. But then again maybe it wasn't the light's fault, but the lazy gray clouds that hung in the sky like sloth's.

'Figures,' I thought. 'Only England would be like this. And to think it was so pretty just last week!' Even though the person that owned the place was a multi-millionaire he refused to turn on the electric lighting in the hallways during the day. Which irritated me immensely. My eyes which had wandered to my feet somehow, looked back up at the numbers above the door ways.

"Huh?" I realized that I had walked past it already. I was at the room 1216-17. I turned my head back, two doors away. If I hadn't snapped out of it, then I would've been running back towards the door. I walked up to room 1212-13. I saw a faint light at the bottom of the door. I sighed.

Without further warning I walked into the room, pushing the door aside. Inside I saw my good friend sitting on the couch, curled into a ball, eating a lollipop. He glanced over at me, and, though very slightly, his eyes widened. They seemed somewhat enlightened to meet mine. They were soft and I saw so much in them. He looked away from me, staring at the green lollipop that he took from his mouth.

"Good afternoon, P.." He said trying not to sound happy. I smiled, then hid it.

"I thought I told you not to call me that anymore." I said to him, narrowing my eyes and looking at him from the corner of them as I sat down next to him, setting the movie I brought down on the coffee table. I had to brush away crumbs and empty tea cups.

"I'm sorry. You wanted me to call you Nicole, for some reason, correct?" He looked at me with slivers of eyes.

"Yes, that's correct. I want you to call me that because it is more familiar and sounds somewhat normal." I said with a smile and a nod.

"But maybe you forgot that this place isn't normal at all…" L said stuffing his lollipop back in his mouth.

"Isn't that the point?!" I asked, somewhat enthusiastic. He seemed surprised and looked at me with wide eyes, sitting back. "I'm trying to make this enviroment as normal as possible, so you can LIVE, you know?" He looked at me, and I saw happiness and shyness in his eyes. I smiled and ruffled his hair which made him flinch. "Right now it's all about you…" I said, smiling at him.

We sat there for a while in silence. Glancing at each other every so often. Finally, I broke our small exchange of acknowledgement. "Well, let's go ahead and watch this then?" I said lifting the movie up as if it were the holy grail. He looked at it like it was an undiscovered element.

"And what is that?" He asked.

I turned it over in my hands a bit. " Why. It's a movie," He looked at me like I was stupid.

"Well, clearly, I meant what movie and how you obtained it?" He said, his curiosity adding to his original desires.

My mouth innocently made an O and I blushed looking down at it so my hair could hide my face. "I got it from the library, it's called the PrincessBride," I said pulling my hair behind my ear so I could glance over at him.

He was looking at me, like he really cared what I had to say. He nodded. I swallowed last nights dinner before I could make a scene of myself.

"I thought that it would be perfect for you. Even though you're not sick physically, in a way you are. Maybe this can cure you." I said with a smile. I saw his face redden a bit as he looked away slowly, naturally, like he wasn't embarrassed.

I wanted to tell him it was okay for him to show his feelings in front of me, but I thought it was too soon. I got up and popped the disk into his DVD player. I scurried back over to the couch and pounced onto it. As I adjusted my sitting position, I noticed how close he was to me. I did nothing about it. I ignored it,- pretended this was a normal distance - because I actually liked it. I could feel his warmth and I liked it.

As we sat there watching the movie, L was silent and he said nothing. He seemed to be thinking about other things, I could see the distance in his eyes. Gradually, during the movie, I noticed him make small reactions to things. Such as slight groans in his throat on a warm half-smile. Even a flinch or to. When Weasly died I grabbed onto L's shirt and hid my face.

When I looked up I saw him staring at me with a subtle yet surprised look on his face. I let go and began to scoot away. "S-sorry.." I said blushing, then, suddenly I felt him grab my arm.

"It's okay…stay here a bit longer.." His eyes were sorrowful and longing. I looked at him, my face shoked as a giddy girls' face can be, then I smiled at him as warmly as I could, and snuggled into his side, grabbing onto his shirt again.

"As you wish.." I said to him closing my eyes. I can hardly remember what happened in the movie after, or anything that happened after that. I must have fallen asleep. When I woke up the next morning I was laying on the couch alone with a soft black blanket wrapped around me. There was no sign of him and I suddenly felt overwhelmingly alone. Like the whole purpose of me being alive was gone, and I was nothing. Just a scrap of dust lying on the couch. No one cared about me. Then I heard the door open.

I didn't realize I had been crying until he asked, "What's wrong?" I wiped at my face and shook my head, smiling at him as I sat up. I wasn't about me.

"Just allergies." And I hoped more than anything that the smile I gave him was a big enough excuse. But it felt like everything was empty for a moment, until I felt him wipe away my tears and place a glass in my hands. I looked up at him, probably wearing a stupid expression.

He seemed rather unaffected yet in his eyes I saw kindness and concern. He handed me a pill.

" For your allergies," He said walking away to go get his laptop. I stared after him as I stuffed the pill in-between the couch cushions and pretended to swallow it as I gulped down some water. "Thank you," I murmured, Realizing that it wasn't audible. "You've been asleep for a long time, every since…last night.."

"Sorry for falling asleep on you.." I said smiling at him as he sat down next to me. He looked at me like I couldn't see him doing it, then he looked over at the corner of the room. "…" I was confused. "L? Is everything alright?" He glanced back over at me and his face was grave. I looked at him, more confused. I was about to ask him if something happened when he cut me off.

He was frowning. "What did you mean, by what you did last night?" I was shocked. Was he upset that I got so close to him? Maybe I shouldn't have said something so cheesy. He was looking me straight in the eyes and I couldn't look away. How should I respond to him. "Because, even if you were trying to teach me how to live, I don't know how to respond to such a thing..and I don't want to do such things," He was looking blankly away at something, he did not show me his eyes. I could not see them. He said something else but I was too upset to hear, too deep in thought to pay it attention, even if it was something important. I never thought even getting that close to him would make him unhappy.

He looked away from him, "I understand what you are conveying. I'll go back to my room now. I'll meet you later." ,and I got up and left. And for awhile I never went back down that hallway. And it was hard to be nearhim,

with out getting close.

So there you have it. I hope everyone enjoys it even though it sucks. Peace to the world~ I LOVE YOU ALL. ^v^
