I don't understand you, Ryuzaki. Why do you treat me so differently from the rest of the task force? Is it because you suspect me of being Kira? Then why do you not treat MisaMisa the same? I don't see you hand cuffed to her, staring intently at her when you think she's not looking. Or maybe you do, but I don't notice it.

There's got to be some reason to it, I can't accept you telling me it's because of your suspicions.

Is it…

No. How preposterous.

Then again…orientation is not something we've widely discussed…and I've never seen you with a significant other before…

You don't have feelings for me, do you?

See? Preposterous. How unprofessional of it all!

It's not as thought we could pursue a relationship of any kind, anyway! You are L and I am Kira. It would never work.

What do you think of me, Ryuzaki…?

Do you fantasize about me? Kissing you? Holding you? Do you hope I'm not Kira, or do you pray that I am?

These thoughts are turning my stomach. I can't see my greatest enemy in such a scandalous light. Never.

But it never hurts to wonder…does it?

What would happen if Ryuzaki and I became…well…yeah…

I suppose it'd be as any other…relationship…affectionate in some way.

What would the rest of the task force think? Misa would never approve of something like that, that's for sure. What about father? There's a chance that he's old fashioned and would not approve of it, as well. I cannot think of what the rest of the task force would do.

I suppose Matsuda would be accepting of it. He's a very flexible individual…always open to new things…

Would he expect me to be physical? Would he be physical? It's natural, I suppose. Ryuzaki doesn't seem like the very forward type…although he doesn't hesitate to act on most occasions. I don't see how intimacy would be much different. Would he be shy about it? If he truly felt that way, would he have already said something?

I wonder if bringing it up would be crude in any way…definitely unprofessional. We both have to be focused on the case. More importantly, Ihave to be focused on my own innocence.

I can't let such a thing cloud my thoughts! What would Ryuzaki think if he saw me daydreaming like this?

Bah…I'm curious now. I've never wondered much about the orientations of the rest of the force. I never had a reason to wonder. But now I'm so curious…it's ridiculous!

I guess it never hurt to ask…did it?

"Hey Ryuzaki…"
