p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"Matsuda had spent the morning in the office. It had been a slow day so far and he had spent most of it checking and confirming files that had been given to him and the other task force members by L before forwarding them to the Japanese police force, and he had also spent his spare time nodding off to sleep occasionally when there was nothing else to do. Sayu on the other hand, had spent the day at home, watching tv and reading comics. She lay on the couch, cuddling the plushie dog that Matsuda had bought her and watching one of her romance dramas until her mother came home with the shopping. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"Sayu got up as she heard the front door opening, and she went into the hallway, taking a few of the bags that Sachiko had already placed on the floor.

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;""I remember when I first started dating your father…" She began, then looked back at Sayu. "He had just started working for the police, and I had met him a few times because he lived in the same neighbourhood as me. We started going out together and began to fall in love quickly." She looked back on the memory with fondness. She could tell by the look on her daughter's face that she was confused about where this was all going, so she continued. "Your father worried about me. He told me that his occupation was dangerous and he was worried about being with me in case something bad happened to him in work, or in case it somehow ended up involving me being put in danger. I told your father that something like that would never stop me from being with him, and so we continued going out and eventually got married and had Light and you, but…" She paused and let out a sigh. "He still worried about how his occupation would affect the three of us. He never stopped worrying about it. And that is why he was so hard on Matsuda when he first shown his true feelings for you. But in all honesty, I think your father would approve of yours and Matsuda's relationship once he seen how much you two meant to each other. I see it, and I'm sure he would have too."/span/p

He sighed and drank some of his beer. "I want to just be honest but… Aizawa and I argued over it; he thinks it's a bad idea to tell her."/span/p

"I can imagine that it'll hurt her if she finds out but, I don't think it's right on you having to keep the secret." He paused as he drank, then continued. "In my opinion, in this case it's better to tell her the painful truth then a kind lie… Because I feel like you two won't be on the same level with each other until you can be truly honest."/span/p

He opened his messages and pulled up Sayu's number. He didn't even think about it, he just started typing as he walked. Part of his inhibition in what he was writing was due to the fact he was inebriated. But a bigger part of it was the fact he knew he'd have to tell her about Light being Kira, so he wanted to get his feelings for her off his chest before that, so she knew how he truly felt./span/p

I was too afraid to tell you in person but I feel amazing when I'm with you, and it feels natural being with you. So yeah, that's how I feel. Sorry that this message is really soppy, I just felt like it needed to be said." /em/span/p
