Destiny with Strawberry Flavor
Note: I do not own Death Note or any of the characters in this story.
Warning: In later chapters there will be a Raito (Light) and L pairing. Please enjoy and review.
"It's perfectly fine with me." L said absently as he typed on the computer looking at more data. "Thank you L." Mr. Yagami said and sat down to look at the files that he had received from the police station. Raito entered soundlessly and sat down on the couch and waited for the problems to begin. "Since your senses seem to be dulling, I've talked to L, and he said it's all right with him. You can stay here till your better and since you're on break you should be back to normal soon." Mr. Yagami said when everyone had left and he had prepared to leave himself. "I hope you feel better and don't stay up to late working on this case." He warned and left through the hotel door.
Raito sat on the couch shocked, this was exactly what he didn't want to happen. "But I'm not sick." He protested to the already shut door. What would happen if he slipped again? If he wrote anyone in the notebook, which he had left at home, he might get caught. If he didn't write anyone down L would most likely add it to the slip he made that day and prove he was Kira somehow. He definitely wasn't having a good day.
Raito looked to where L sat studying the computer, his back turned to Raito. 'Stop with this you already knows I slipped, go ahead accuse me! Just see how far it gets you.' Raito inwardly sighed he for once had no back up plan for this problem. Of all the likely situations this one had never crossed his mind. What would he do next, confess? He really wished that his father hadn't doomed him to this unfortunate disaster. Was it really such a problem that he had dropped a drink? People spilt and dropped things all the time. Or was he really slipping? Was everyone noticing it before he was? Why was it that he could notice so much and fail to notice something so obvious? Sure he had spent the last couple nights, ok last two weeks, staying up late and watching the news for new criminals to sprinkle into the note book. He had also been getting up early and preparing himself to deal with the people hunting him.
His eyes followed the swirls in the table he was starring at, his thoughts twisting and floating around in his head mimicking it. Raito looked up and nearly jumped, L was starring at him studying him like he had the computer, he had moved to sit in a chair across from Raito. "Raito-kun? Are you all right?" L asked. "Yeah I'm fine." Raito replied. "You said something odd today Raito-kun." L said. 'Here it comes, surely I have some self defense for this. Ugh I really should have taken it down a notch I can't even think straight.' Raito thought mentally cursing himself. L didn't say anything he reached toward a strawberry whipped cream cake and poked the strawberry with his index finger. "Raito-kun… the suspicion of you being Kira is now ten percent. But I'm still trying to figure things out." L said popping the strawberry in his mouth.
'Only ten percent I was sure that it would have gone up more than that.' Raito thought. "I'm not Kira." Raito said it was becoming so normal for him to try and get L to believe he wasn't Kira. For a moment he almost tricked himself. 'More sleep is in order.' Raito thought when he caught himself. "You keep saying that, sometimes I wonder if you're trying to prove that to me or to yourself." L said calmly. 'Stop catching my slips!' Raito thought angrily. 'Where's Ryuk he's probably enjoying this more than anyone else?' Raito thought looking around for a moment. "I keep telling you that because you're still suspicious of me. What do I have to do to get you to believe me?" Raito said absently finding Ryuk looking around for an apple. "When you no longer act suspiciously and I have no reason to be suspicious any longer." L said eating another strawberry.
