Another chapter. Hurray! Now read, I tell you. Go!

"The doctor or the dentist?"

"...neither. Next question."

"L, that's not how this game goes. Now answer the question."

L, the greatest detective of the time, pouted. He put his thumb on his lip and he bit at his nail, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Y/N and the detective were in bed but not for sleeping purposes. Well, Y/N was sitting cross legged and L was crouched over one of his many computers. Y/N had her elbows on her knees so she too could work on her computer.

"That's not fair," L began to explain.

"In the dentist they poke and prod your mouth with strange instruments. At the doctors they...also do that but even worse -they comment on your health and tell you what to eat, how much exercise to do. Far too much trouble."

Then L reached into his pocket to pull out several pieces of candy and he proceeded to plop them all into his mouth.

Y/N rolled her eyes, her typing slowing down so she could scoff at L.

"I can't imagine what their reactions would be if they were to examine you. Cavities and lack of nutrients... I'm pretty sure you're a medical wonder."

L shrugged and he spoke around the candy in his mouth.

"That's why I can't possibly chose either of them. Imagine what they would force me to do... And I brush my teeth, Y/N. I don't have cavities."

He had mumbled the last part but Y/N had still heard.

"Didn't answer the question yet."

"Neither."

"..."

Y/N waited in silence while L bit on the candies in his mouth.

"Very well. I suppose I'd chose the doctor first."

Y/N smiled cheerfully and she snatched a piece of candy away from L, giving him no time to protest before putting it in her mouth.

"See, that was easy, wasn't it. Good job, L."

The detective frowned at her but he made no more comments. Then,

"A room full of spiders or a room full of slugs?"

Y/N took on a look of disgust, taking a moment to take a look around the room, as if the mentioned spiders and slugs would appear.

"Those are both equally unpleasant."

"Doesn't feel very good, does it?"

L began to arrange the wrappers of his candies in a neat pile on a pillow, proud to have stumped Y/N.

"I'd go with the slugs. They're much less creepy or crawly. And spiders...ew."

Y/N cringed and L deflated a little because she had been able to answer somewhat more easily than him.

Y/N considered for a moment more before asking, "playing the piano or the violin?"

L stared at Y/N with his eyes narrowed but she hadn't turned away from her computer screen. L hummed in thought and he slowly answered, watching her reaction.

"The piano. I might find it relaxing to learn if I had the time."

Y/N turned to look at him and she smiled.

"Yeah, I would bet you'd be good at it and it would be nice, wouldn't it."

L considered her answer for a while. It wasn't until Y/N turned to look at him questioningly that he realized that he had neglected to ask her another question.

"Cake or candy for the rest of your life?"

Y/N grimaced at him, her brow crinkling in that way that he had always liked.

"You and your sweets, L. I'd probably choose candy. There's a lot of different ones so I'll never run out of options."

"But cake is good," L smartly contradicted.

"So is candy and you're even eating it right now."

L blinked at Y/N innocently.

"Only because you wouldn't get up to go get me a slice."

Y/N gave L a long suffering look, blinking slowly and sarcastically.

"L, as I recall, I asked you to get me cake."

L looked momentarily confused and he titled his head, thinking.

"I never asked you to get me some?"

"No."

L nodded to himself after a minute of contemplation. Then he abruptly leaned forward, pushing himself closer to Y/N's face. His breath ghosted across her face as he murmured.

"Y/N?"

Y/N faltered and she blinked rapidly at his sudden proximity.

"Yeah?"

"Would you," he leaned closer still, whispering in Y/N's ear now. "Would you get me some cake?"

Y/N felt her face grow hot and she bit her lip.

"I don't know L. I really don't feel like getting up."

Y/N felt L shift until she could feel his lips on her cheek.

"Please?"

"..."

Watari looked up at the sound of the opening door. Y/N entered the kitchen slowly with a dazed expression on her face and with her hair in slight disarray. Watari smiled.

"Is everything alright, Y/N?"

Y/N nodded, waving a hand offhandedly and giving a breathy laugh.

"Yes. Everything's fine, it's just-"

Y/N took a moment to look for a cake and cut a slice from it, placing the cake on a dish. Then she sighed deeply.

"Watari."

"Yes?"

"L is unashamedly manipulative."

Watari nodded gravely, remaining deadpan.

"When he wants to be, yes. That's what makes him dangerous, Y/N."

Y/N huffed but she grabbed the plate and started to make her way back to the bedroom.

"Y/N, have you reminded him about-"

Y/N grinned and Watari and she proceeded to chuckle somewhat evilly.

"Oh, not yet, Watari. I'll tell him soon."

With that, Y/N walked out.

Watari chuckled to himself. He thought about L and Y/N and what they meant to him. And to each other.

"I'm glad."

He said to no one. Then he went back to work.

*Later that night*

"By the way, L?"

"Yes?"

"Since you already chose, you're having a visit from the doctor soon so be ready."

"...you tricked me."

"Without hesitation!"

"And you say I'm manipulative."

"You love me anyway."

L's dark eyes gazed carefully at Y/N, who was smiling at her computer screen. He gave a nod.

"Without hesitation."
