Hey guys. I hath made mine return! And I am proud to bring this new update. So please tell me what you think.

L stared unblinkingly at him. He stared back.

L didn't move and, for now, neither did he. He was terrible, cunning and he threatened L's very work. Who knew what kind of terrible, horrible, despicable thoughts he was thinking -taking over the world; watching and waiting for a moment to strike then dissapear into the shadows; spreading fear to the masses...

L twitched in his chair as the other moved suddenly then freezing in place again. The detective nibbled on his thumb, now thinking -how to get around this fiend- how this villian even got this close without detection- how to call for help (even if he hated to think that)

But who? Who could possibly help him now?

"Hey L, I know you have a sweet tooth but this much sugar cannot be particularly good for you. Honestly -Haninozuka has competition..."

L looked up as the door to the room began to swing open. He could hear the the wheels of his snack cart being pushed into the room, where he had gone into to think alone, and Y/N was presumably pushing said cart.

"Y/N, if you value your safety, I suggest you remain outside the room."

The cart immediately halted in its movements with only half of it going past the doorway. There was a brief silence until Y/N called out slowly,

"L, is everything alright alright in there?"

Silence

L wondered how Y/N would react once he uttered out the problem. He considered telling her to quietly back out of the room until it was safe to enter again. Or at least until he managed to move again.

He sighed but he didn't remove his gaze from the interloper. He need only say one word and Y/N might understand.

"Y/N."

"L."

"Spider."

Once L had assured Y/N that the terrible threat was nowhere near the door, she had carefully inched her way into the room.

Following L's line of sight she quickly found the location of the offending enemy. Y/N could also see why L hadn't simply left the room.

While the spider wasn't directly in front of the door, it was in the path of it and (the most terrifying part) it was handing from the ceiling, swinging ever so slightly.

"Oh!...Oh my -that's a very big spider! L, why haven't you obliterated it's existence?"

L hadn't yet moved but he did glance once at Y/N for a moment. He was silent and then, "I have no shoes to throw at the spider. But you are here now so you may now kill it Y/N."

At the moment Y/N had been attempting to walk around the direct area of the spider but she froze when the spider began to frantically wiggle where it hung.

"Oh it's moving. Ok!"

With that for motivation, Y/N backtracked until she had successfully hid behind the snack cart she had pulled into the room.

"Y/N, kill it."

L was almost whinnying now as he asked again. Y/N scoffed as she attempted to cross again -this time with the protection of the cart.

"L, do you see the size of that thing? I am not going near that thing to kill it only so it has the opportunity to jump on my face and attack."

"You're closer," said L hopefully.

At that point Y/N had sprinted her way across the room to stand with L at the desk he was seated near.

"And, now we are both at equal distance," Y/N said.

L nudged her several times with one of his fingers.

"Y/N. Do it. Throw one of your shoes so we can be done with this."

Y/N looked down at the detective. L stared right back at her with wide innocent eyes. Y/N almost snorted; L was definitely not innocent. However her resolve crumbled as he continued to stare at her.

"Alright! You owe me one L. These are my good shoes and they're about to have spider remains all over."

Y/N deftly pulled off her left shoe and she took aim. But as the forces of misfortune dictate, the throw to kill the spider from a safe distance must go terribly wrong.

At the very moment Y/N had thrown the shoe, the spider had began to climb back up the web and the shoe only managed to knock it back. And in turn the spider swung from the ceiling. Away from them... and then back.

Directly back towards the detectives.

"Gahh!"

In the span of a few seconds -the detective had hurled himself off the chair and Y/N had waved her arms around herself protectively, running across the room to stand as far away as she could.

L, after also having stumbled away from his tipped over chair, he stood with his back to the wall.

For a moment they were still because of one small detail. The small arachnid was now nowhere to be seen.

Both glanced uncertainty at the ceiling and then at the floor.

"Do you see it anywhere L? Because now we have no idea where it is and it could be anywhere... what if it left the room?"

L looked up to Y/N about to answer when he suddenly froze. His eyes widened and he opened his mout to speak but Y/N saw his expression.

"L, did you find it?"

L wasn't sure how to approach the situation but he nodded.

"Yes. I did find it, but-"

"Where! Where is it?"

Y/N began to move erratically, glancing around nervously. L took a breath but he made no move to walk towards her.

"Y/N, I ask that you make no sudden movements and that you absolutely do not panic when I tell you that the spider is on your shirt-"

The reaction was instantaneous as Y/N yelled out and began wiping at her clothes. L wasn't sure what to do as she began to jump around and pulling on her shirt. L stopped short when he realized that she was beginning to pull off said shirt.

"Y-Y/N what are you doing?"

But she had been too busy tearing it off and throwing it on the ground and running away from it. L would have been too shocked to move but the spider had reappeared and it was scrambling around on the floor. Heading towards him now.

L pushed himself against the wall but he didn't want to move in case the spider decided to change direction -as they often seemed to do in order to freak you out more.

Just as the running spider was only inches from him-

CLANG!

A silver tray slammed down right before him and L jumped. He could see that Y/N, after taking off her shirt, had sprinted to the cart and had disregarded the strawberries on the plate in order to grab it and hurl it down in front of him.

L could see that the strawberries had fallen to the floor and he spared a moment to mourn the loss of good strawberries.

And it was also at that point that he realized that Y/N had been wearing a tank top under her shirt and that she wasn't shirtless.

Y/N, after slamming down the tray, stepped away and she cringed.

"That loud crunch was pleasantly disgusting, wasn't it?"

L carefully walked around the tray that neither of them made a move to pick up. Y/N grinned sheepishly at him as she looked around.

"So, we've made a bit of a mess but at least the threat was neutralized."

L nodded but he rubbed his neck when he realized that, because of Y/N's frantic movements, the thin undershirt that she had been wearing had moved somewhat and exposed something else.

L wordlessly reached out and he adjusted her shirt. He couldn't deny to himself that he felt his face heat just in the slightest

He met Y/N's eyes and he mumbled out, "Just fixing... you might want to put your shirt back on."

And just then the door swung open, a familiar voice speaking even before the door was fully open.

"Hey Y/N, Ryuzaki, everyone is waiting for- oh!"

Y/N and L immediately stepped away from each other, with L lowering his head to have his hair hide his face

"M-Matsuda! You have terrible timing..."

The task force member blushed and he stumbled his way out, garbling unintelligible words in an effort to apologize. L could only look at the floor in what he figured was called embarrassment. Once the door was securely slammed shut Matsuda stuttered through the door.

"S-so sorry about that! I d-didn't mean to uh... I'll leave you guys to take care of what-whatever you need to do. Sorry!"

L and Y/N could hear Matsuda scampering down the hall, still yelling back apologies. Then Y/N began to laugh. Though L didn't understand why she found the situation funny -in fact he was mortified to be caught in a situation that could be easily misinterpreted but she was still laughing.

"Poor Matsuda! I don't think he'll ever look at us the same way again."

Y/N was still laughing as she put her shirt back on. Then she suddenly groaned and she threw her hands over her face.

"Ok, now that I think about it, that was embarrassing, L. This is now the day I've been the most terrified and most embarrassed."

L remained silent because at that moment he remembered something that would probably make the situation worse. But he felt the need to say it because a part of him found that Y/N looked undeniably cute when she looked embarrassed.

"Y/N? I don't mean to make your suffering worse but I hope you realize that there is a camera in this room that is transmitting to the screens where the task force is presumably gathered."

"..."

"..."

"L!"

That day, the detective concluded that he preferred a killer spider over his angry girlfriend.

So if any of you know who that person mentioned earlier is, be sure to tell me you know who it is. Thanks for reading and leave a review.
And you guys should know that this update was inspired by a situation that I found myself in...minus the L part. Just the spider bit and in real life, a spider swinging towards you with its giant creepy legs is quite terrifying. Just saying.
