Voila! A chapter in Fate's P.O.V! The first part is Matt, as usual, but transitions into Fate's.
Matt: Do we get to find out her name yet? Her real one?
Me: I did drop a hint in this chapter.~
Mello: It's set the world record for smallest hint.
Me: But it's something! There's no rule for how big the hint has to be! Right?
Anyway, if you want, you can put your guesses in the comments! I won't reveal it just yet, but it'll be interesting to see whether any of you can guess it!
Mello: Mea does not own Death Note, it's plot, or any of the characters, only her original O.C, Fate.
Nobody noticed Matt grab Mello's arm and run out after L. As soon as they were out of the noisy room, Mello pulled it away.
"What're you doing?" Mello glared while rubbing his arm.
"Finding L and Fate of course." Matt said while looking for the detective. He couldn't have gotten far.
"Matt-"The word barely left Mello's mouth before Matt grabbed him once again and went speeding down the corridor. He could've sworn he saw a mop of hair turn the corner at the end of the hallway. He was right. Matt dragged Mello to the corner and they watched as L knocked on Fate's door. How did he know? Matt pondered the thought as a small voice called out.
"Matt? Is that you?" Nobody really visited Fate but Matt. She didn't have a roommate either, they were both the odd number. It wasn't surprising that she thought it was him.
"No, Fate, its Lawliet." L spoke in a gentle voice, one Matt couldn't imagine him having.
Inside the room. Fate was panicking. There was a reason she didn't want to go to the main room to see L. Fate didn't want to see him. She really didn't. She had faced enough embarrassment in front of the world famous detective to last a lifetime. Fate also couldn't help but wonder why he used his real name, surely he's smarter than that.
"Fate? May I come in?" Lawliet spoke once again. Only Fate ever called him Lawliet. She was one of the few who knew his real name. Some would say Lawliet had a soft spot for her, Fate only recognized it as only pity.
"I don't know." Fate didn't. She didn't want to see him, but he had gone through the trouble to go find her himself…
"Is that so?"
"I guess you can." Fate decided to risk it.
The door slowly opened to reveal the lanky Lawliet Fate had come to admire. It had been a while since she was last visited by Lawliet, and the change in his appearance was highly noticeable. The circles underneath his eyes had gotten darker in color, and his was posture even worse. If that was possible. Fate fell onto her bed dramatically, avoiding eye contact with the detective.
"Fate? Why had you not come to see me?" L questioned. Fate knew that he was already aware of the reasoning, he was just being polite; which didn't happen very often. Lawliet had worse social skills than her and Matt combined. Matt…
"Because I didn't." Fate continued to lie on her bed while Lawliet remained standing in the doorway, quite awkwardly.
"You must have some reasoning. The Fate I know always has something to say." Lawliet was persistent.
"Lawliet, please. I just didn't want to attend. Why should I have, anyway? We aren't friends. And you don't need another admirer, you have plenty of those." Fate sighed.
"It seems as if though you're not frustrated with me, but with yourself." At this point, Fate was lost. Why did he have to keep trying? She was just a 10 year old who attended Wammy's, and happened to possess spectacular intelligence. But even her intelligence was no match for Lawliet's. They had little to no background, all he did was save her. As much as she hated to admit it, she needed his saving. Lawliet moved into the room and shut the door behind him. Fate sat up. He never shut the door, unless he had something to say that others couldn't hear. Like her name.
It was just as she predicted.
"Far-" Lawliet began but was interrupted.
The door banged open to reveal Matt and Mello. Both seemed to stand there awkwardly, looking upon the scene before them. Lawliet stood with his head down.
"Matt!" Fate was relieved to see him, yet she was also relieved that he didn't get a chance to hear her name.
"Are you okay, Fate?" Matt looked her over for signs of injury. Fate laughed at his concern, he had nothing to be worried about.
"Of course I am, L just stopped by for a visit." Lawliet looked up.
"I must get going. Watari informed me he needed my assistance. Goodbye, Mello, Matt, Fate." Lawliet disappeared shortly after his goodbye.
"Now onto what we've all been thinking." Mello took a bite out of his chocolate. "Why the hell did L visit you?"
