Chapter 7

Natsuki's POV

She looked around his room and saw a bed, a bathroom, and a computer.

"So this is where the amazing L investigates," she grinned and walked to the computer and traced the black keys on the keyboard.

L only watched her and then walked towards her and she noticed and looked up at him. He was only a few inches away from her face and he stepped back a bit to let her breathe.

"Yes, I spend most of my time here working on every investigation I am given. Every case and success has been worked on and solved here."

"Don't you get tired of staying here?"

"To be honest with yes I do get bored, but I have a job to do and that's more important than how I feel about being here."

Natsuki's face was showing a bothered look by his answer and she looked directly into his eyes and took a step forward.

"Can't you give your job of being a detective a break already L? You need time to relax too you know. You spend your whole life thinking about solving cases and helping others, but you never really focus on yourself for once."

She grabbed his wrist and he sighed in annoyance and looked at her hand gripping onto him.

"I appreciate your concern for my lack of rest, but I don't believe that you should. I'm fine and I enjoy working on these cases the whole time."

'L please just give this a rest. I get that you enjoy working on all of these cases, but you can't spend all of your time doing this. You have a life too,' Natsuki let go of his wrist and walked to the computer and unplugged it.

She can hear L muttering something and start to take a step forward to stop her, but he stopped himself and Natsuki took out the whole plug connected to the computer and held it in one hand and showed it to his face and his mouth opened a bit in disbelief.

"Natsuki give that back I have to continue on this case. I don't have time to-," he grabbed for it but missed as Natsuki quickly moved her arm back holding onto the plug.

"I'm sorry L but you working on this case is going to have to press pause for awhile."

L's POV

He couldn't believe her she just unplugged his computer and she's expecting him to give this investigation a break. He stared at the plug and looked at her then when she lost focus on him he quickly grabbed the plug.

"H-Hey! L let go!," she demanded as she tugged.

He didn't let go he just tugged it back with force and determination to get it back. His expression still calm but focused. Natsuki pulled again and almost managed to pull the plug away until L pulled it harder along with her and she found her body against his. She blushed like crazy and shook her head and tugged more. They struggled and L found himself against the edge of the bed and he was able to make Natsuki let go by being able to pull with all of his energy that was left and get it out of reach above the bed that ended up causing his friend to let go immediately, so she won't fall on him by accident and end up on him in bed.

"L give it back. You're not going to proceed with this investigation until you take a break from it. Come on dammit!," her face was furious and the color of her face turned bright red.

"I'm afraid I can't follow your orders Natsuki."

L headed to the computer with one hand in his pocket and in his slouched position. His dark eyes still staring at the computer as he walked closer to it.

Natsuki's POV

"Oh no you're not!," Natsuki ran towards him and jumped on his back and grabbed the plug again.

L's eyes widened and he struggled with her again. Natsuki's sandals loosened and fell to the floor and her bare feet were clinging to his sides and they accidently slid up his shirt and she felt the warmth of his soft bare white skin.

L quickly reacted and let go of the plug. He reached from behind him and Natsuki's eyes widened feeling his strength only get stronger when he got her off and threw her down on the bed and she didn't move. L put his thumb to his lips and nibbled while watching her just stare at him in disbelief.

Natsuki's heart sunk and her vision started to get blury. The pain in her chest started to come back and her bottom lip quivered. L noticed this and stopped nibbling on his thumb immediately and his eyes were then filled with the slightest sign of guilt.

"A-all I wanted was to spend time with you while you relaxed...I haven't seen you for a long period of time...and you still won't give your investigations a break to just spend some time with me..."

"Natsuk-," he was about to call her name to get her attention but she had gotten up and ran out of his hotel room bursting into tears.

L's POV

L ran after her and before he can grab her and apologize she slammed her door in front of his face and locked it. L leaned against the door and put his ear to it trying to listen. He heard her crying and she was pretty hurt by how he had acted and what he had said. He knocked lightly and rubbed the door a bit.

"Natsuki open the door. I want to apologize to you. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings like that. I'm sorry,"he said with a cool and reassuring tone.

"Go away L!,"he heard her yell throught the door.

He sighed and closed his eyes and relaxed as he stared at the door blankly hoping for it to open, but when she didn't open it he took a step back and headed back to his room slouching and feeling like a terrible person without even showing how he truly felt on his face.
