The secret is out

Recap:

- "I won't say it until you promise not to tell anyone about this."

-" Ok , I promise , I won't tell anyone."

-" Light ,what I want to tell you is that I'm L ….."

( To be continued)

End of recap:

Fear and panic was the first thing Light Yagami felt when he heard those words. "He can't be L. But what if he is? Ugh how did I get myself in this situation? Think Light if he really is L he'll notice if I'm acting too nervous around him and he'll suspect me. I have to act normal, as if nothing happened. That's right this will be just another act I'm going to have to put up for the sake of my idea "

-Are you ok Light you spaced of on me.

- Oh, yes I'm fine. It's just that wasn't something you hear every day and I was a little shocked.

- It would be understandable.

- So you're L. But I don't understand why you're telling me this. It's not that I'm not honored that you chose to tell me but I'm curious why me.

- Well, as you know already I work with your father and he told me about you. I thought about what he told me about you and decided that you would be of great help to me in the investigation.

- Why thank you, but I don't really get where you're going with this.

- What I'm trying to say is that I would be really glad if you decide to help in the case.

"That's my chance to get close to L and eliminate him. But what if he isn't the real L? What if this is a trap? No I won't take the bait L "

I'm sorry L but I have to finish my studies and besides I'm sure you would be able to finish the case on your own.

If that's what you want then ok.

With that L turned around and went to the car, where Watari was waiting for him.

Well see you around Light.

And he closed the car door. "Ruby isn't going to like it. She hates it when I take risks like this, but I'll just have to deal with it when I get back"

-Watari, how is Ruby?

-Not very happy. She's just worried for you, you know, she's not used to you taking risks and this is still going to take some getting used to for her.

-I know. It's just that I feel kind of guilty. When she first came to work with me I had tried my hardest to keep her always by me. And now when she's willing to stay by my side for as long as I live, I'm trying to get her to do the exact opposite.

- What I can tell you L is what I think of the matter.

- And that is?

- I think that you're starting to develop feelings for her and that this whole thing is some sort of defensive reaction.

-Watari, you and I both know that my job doesn't allow me to have such feelings.

- It may not allow it, but that doesn't mean you don't have those feelings. And another thing is that you've never actually followed rules, so why start now?

The old man grew silent leaving L to ponder over what he had just told the young detective.

L's POV

"Watari was right. I never actually follow the rules, so why should I start now. But I can't put Ruby in danger like that, especially with Kira as my opponent. And besides there is no way she'll return my feelings."

Ruby's POV

"Where is he? He should be back by now? What if something happened to him? No don't think like that Watari is with him and if something had happened, then Watari would have called by now. How could I let him do this? He's putting himself in danger and I'm supposed to keep him safe. Calm down, nothing is wrong with him"

As I was having a panic attack, the door opened and L walked in.

-You're back; do you know how worried I was?

-Calm down Ruby, I'm fine nothing to panic about.

- Nothing to panic about? You're out trailing a possible Kira suspect and you're telling me to calm down? What and I supposed to do if something happens to you? What is he finds out who you actually are? What am I supposed to do if that happened and a few weeks later you end up dead? How do you think I would cope with that?

And ant the end of my speech I gave out a quiet sob falling to my knees. I'm guessing L didn't expect that, because his face was a fine picture of shock.

L's POV

I watched as Ruby fell to he knees, her body shaking with sobs as the thought of me leaving her. As I watched shocked, I felt my hear break into tiny little peaces as I was the one to cause her pain. I kneeled in front of her and hugged her for the first time since the two of us met. A few second later Rubies wrapped her arms around me as I lifted her of the ground and carried her to our room, away from the rest of the task force.I sat her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket lying next to her .A few minutes later we were both asleep.

Watari's POV

"Maybe I should go and see if they need anything" And with that thought I went to L's room. Opening the door I looked in and was met by the most adorable sight. L and Ruby lay in bed hugging each other in their sleep. My smile grew even more when I saw the smile on L's face. I had rarely ever seen the young detective smile and I was happy to see this rare occurrence. Not wanting to disturb the two I closed the door and went to my own room. I was usually against messing around with people's lives but this time I planned to give Ruby and L's relationship a slight push in the right direction. For the first and the last time in my life I was going to play match maker.

That was the new chapter my dear readers. As you can see Watari is going to play match maker.

Now I decided to reply to the reviewers at the end of each chapter. This is going to start when I upload the next chapter.
