Raito had been asking himself the same question for a whole day! This was insane! Raito was actually getting a headache trying to figure out what reasons for L to do such a thing. What was his motive? Was it to prove that he was Kira? "If that was it then maybe…no…no…ugh!" Raito collapsed on a nearby couch with a gaze of confusion. Why was he even worrying over a kiss? Raito touched his lips; he really did taste good…. "AHHH!" Raito got up and hit his head to the nearest wall to get rid of this fake reality.

Even though he was bleeding a little bit Raito's mind was plagued with thoughts that he did not wish to think of. It was almost too graphic for his mind. He cursed under his breath; it wasn't supposed to be like this! He had finally found a worthy opponent to play with. Now his playmate was actually very interesting and fun to play with. However that kiss had completely… it wasn't even explainable any more.

Watari entered with a cart full of treats and tea for Raito and immediately left the man to his thoughts. He was used to people getting agitated, confused, and even furious over L's odd actions. However this was the first time he had seen L show any affections towards anyone besides the orphans at the Wammy house. He had a feeling that things would go well with L and Raito. After all he wasn't a detective for nothing. Watari trusted L no matter what odd actions L did.

Watari had passed by L on the way to the kitchen, "L, I think it is best if you tell me your motives." L was raiding the other fridge his mouth sleek with frosting. L closed the fridge door with no elegance. L gave a knowing smile to Watari, "To tell you the truth Watari I don't know myself. That probably was the only time I have ever been unplanned about this." Watari gave an understanding nod. "L, do you think this would be a good time to find someone for yourself?"

L didn't answer until he looked Watari straight in the eye. "No." Watari chuckled, L was in denial, and this also was a first for L.

"It's complicated Watari, I don't know why I did it I just wanted to try. If he isn't Kira my chances of happiness is 100. However if he is…most likely I am to lose my only friend." Watari picked up a wet rag and began to clean the table while listening to L. "Watari…do you think I have a chance at happiness with Raito?"

Watari nodded, "L, now I know I am an old man that has served you for many years. I have seen the way you handle yourself around people. You have struggled to get where you are today. And as a man with age I believe that it's best to follow what your heart says instead of your mind for once in your life." L began to laugh.

"Watari thank you. Also you're not that old." Watari chuckled. "L, you are very welcome. I'm sure you will do fine with that heart of yours."

L had felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. L turned to Watari's gentle form. "Watari I would like to get him something."

Ryuuk had been flying around to get rid of his boredom until he spotted the famous L walking around the market. "That's a first." Ryuuk knew that L wasn't the type to go out in public much. Ryuuk began to follow him.

L had finally reached El Gato, it was one of those cozy book cafés that really made him comfortable. The aroma of coffee and ancient books cleared his senses. This place reminded him of the Wammy house with it's peaceful atmosphere. A gothic Lolita girl with a skimpy maids outfit. She bowed showing her cat ears and welcomed him inside. "Welcome! My name is Sinclaire, and I will be your waitress this morning. Smoker or nonsmoker?"

"Nonsmoker."

Sinclaire guided L to a window seat and handed him a menu. "What would you like sir?" L immediately turned to the dessert section. "Ill have a double chocolate chip shake please." The waitress left in a hurry to fill other male customer's orders. L recognized a familiar red box near the register. L smiled, "Miss, Can you also give me one box of Pocky please?"

Ryuuk watched through the window with a black cat with El Gato written on it. "Pocky?" Ryuuk had never heard of the treat. He had decided to continue watching the famous detective. L got up to browse the maze of books since there was nothing else he really needed. In one of the rows of books he spotted a man whose eyes were a deep ocean blue and his hair as red as fire. His tight black shirt hid the beautiful muscles. White baggy pants and a silver necklace with a red ruby embedded in it. He really looked familiar. It was odd; L had never forgotten a face. The beautiful man looked towards L and gave a smile. "You are a very lucky man sir. Congratulations you are our hundredth customer! You are able to choose any book on these shelves and keep it for free!"

L pointed at himself, "I won?" The man nodded, "Yes, you may choose any book you desire," He watched L look through the shelves, "If I might make a suggestion I think La Vie would be a great book for you." The man pulled out a plastic covered white book with black lettering saying La Vie. L didn't really care, if the man suggested it was the best choice then why not? After all he was in a very good mood today. "Sure why not?"

The man handed L the book.

Ryuuk began to panic, "This is bad! I have to tell Raito!"

The man with flaming red hair smirked as he watched a familiar death god was flying away. His plan was finally in motion; it wouldn't be long till the revolution would begin.
