Soar sighed and stood up, "I'm number three." She closed her eyes and allowed Misa to blindfold her.
"Now that's what I call good sportsmanship!" Carys exclaimed with a smile.
Soar blushed faintly from the attention and followed Misa close enough, not to get lost yet far enough away as to not trip over Misa. After a good minute, Misa gave Soar back her vision and shut a door. Interested, Soar flicked her eyes around the room. It was dimly lit with just a computer and a hunched figure near it. A face turned to her, all too familiar.
"R-Ryuuzaki!?" Her voice was a mix of awe, suprise and angst at once.
Slowly Ryuuzaki bit on his nail and eyed her, "Aww.. Soar.. am I correct?"
Soar nodded nervously and sat down by the wall. This was all so overwhelming for her. Of all the people she could have gotten, she had gotten the one that was her weakness. She nervously avoided his eyes. She slowly convinced her heart to slow. After all, nothing would happen, would it? After all, this was L. He was so analytical and thoughtful, foolish crushes would be the least of his concern.
For some reason a pit sunk in Soar's stomach. She didn't want nothing to happen. She wanted him to know how she felt.
After a long silence, Soar looked up, "So uhmmm how are you?"
L nodded slowly and looked thoughtful, "Well I suppose." Another silence, "You?"
"I'm.. okay.." she lied and smiled meekly.
L seemed to almost appear by her side as she looked up at her face with a doubtful frown on his face, "Okay? Doesn't look like it."
"No really!" Soar moved her hands, dismissing the subject. These twenty minutes were starting to make her uncomfortable.
"Why so forlorn, Soar?" L asked bluntly.
Soar couldn't help but supress a giggle at the word forlorn. The way it rolled off one's tongue was so amusing. Blinking she looked down at L and blushed, looking away. "It-It's nothing." She pulled up her hood to cover her face, blocking out the view of her silver and blue eyes.
L chewed on his thumb some more. "Hmm.. you're stuttering.." His face inched forward some more as if examinating hers.
Feeling left Soar's body. She felt like something was caught in her throat. Words were at her lips and on the tip of her tongue, but they wouldn't leave. It was as if they were sealed inside her body, binding her down. The closer L got the tighter the binds wrapped. Her heart began to flutter. Her body wanted nothing more than to proclaim what she felt, but her mind went against it, practically gagging her.
Then it happened. Before her body could trigger any kind of response, she felt warmth on her lips. Her whole being froze, enjoying and confused all at once, unable to analyze a possible response. His lips were surprising warm on hers.
"R-Ryuuzaki.." Soar finally managed to force out words when L pulled way. The way he smiled made her heart skip a beat.
L's face suddenly became hard and serious. "Soar.. I have something important to tell you." He paused, allowing her to catch up. "I am L.."
Soar stared in disbelief. There was no matter of joking in his eyes. She felt a tinge of respect and surprise. Such a secret.. revealed to her.. "But.. why did you kiss me?"
A moment passed as L thought to himself, "Well.. isn't that what people do when they like one another?"
"Yeah.. just next time.. warn me, ok?" She let out a sigh. This was almost like a dream to her.
"Well here's your warning.. I'm going to kiss you." L gave a small goofy smile and leaned up, pressing his lips to hers again.
Letting out a soft moan of joy, Soar closed her eyes and held onto the kiss. The dreams she had were nothing compared to this! Slowly her arms slid up his back and around his neck. Her digits weaved in his hair, holding him close.
It seemed almost planned as she felt herself leaning backwards onto the floor. The cold cement froze the small bare of her back. Her heart began to hammar in her chest as she felt the kiss deepened. Then as quick as it started, it finished. "I'm sorry." L muttered. "But they're coming." He sat up, then helped Soar up. "I also apologize if I was too bold." For once, there was a light blush on his face.
Soar blushed deeply and shook her head, "No, It's fine, Ryuuzaki." She ignored her heart which was still aflutter in her chest.
"As did I. I hope we have more of these times." L grinned softly, then his eyes roamed to the door as Misa flung it open.
"Time's up!" Misa squealed loudly, then pouted.
Her heart dropped suddenly as Soar realized she had to leave this time with L. After a moment though, her smile returned. At least she could always treasure the feelings they shared.
