Anime: Death Note

Requested by: @LoveWeeb

(Y/n)'s POV

Touching my lips, I stared in shock at the male towering over my body as he trailed light kisses down my neck. Smirking, I pulled him into a quick kiss, giving him none of the satisfaction that he wanted.

"You are so gonna regret messing with me, L."

"Oh will I? I won't let you win this battle, (Y/n)-chan."

"We'll see about that."

~An hour earlier~

Following Light down the hallway that led to L's office, my eyes trailed his every move. L had expressed his concern and suspicion about Light's hidden identity as Kira, the mass murderer.

Killing was a terrible sin that should be punishable with the very act itself, yet I couldn't blame anyone for having that quick, raging impulse to kill. The world was truly better off without the scum that tainted it in crime and darkness.

Those that killed for the mere fun of it, of course, were not unacceptable in the slightest. Right now, I couldn't decide if I agreed with Kira's ways or if they were equally as bad as the criminals that he passed judgement on.

"(Y/n), before we go in, I want to ask you something," Light exclaimed.

"What?"

"Do you also think I'm Kira, like L does?"

"Hmm, who knows? I'm not sure why he's so bent on you being Kira but I trust his instincts so I'm a little suspicious."

"I see..."

"Honestly, I just wish Kira would loosen up on the killing. I mean, sure the world is better off without those criminals but he's murdering too many people. It's almost as if he won't admit that he's just as bad in some way..."

"So is that what you think?"

"Oh? Then do you have a different opinion?"

"Not entirely."

He opened the door but quickly moved to the side. Streamers blasted in my face but all I could do was blink in confusion as L stood before me with a large strawberry cake in his hands.

The other members of the investigation clapped in celebration, party hats adorning their heads as I walked inside with Light trailing behind me. 'Happy Birthday (Y/n)' was printed on the (f/c) banner that hung across the full length of the room.

I had the sudden urge to facepalm, realising the reality...that I had forgotten my own birthday. L strapped a party hat to my head as he stuck a lolly in my mouth before the melody of their disastrous singing reverberated across the room.

L and Light seemed to be the only 'sane' ones in the room, feeling the embarrassment of their fellow members' voices despite the fact that they had successfully evaded the old men's croaky choir.

"I think I can say with certainty that (Y/n)-chan would've preferred it if you didn't sing for her at all," L exclaimed.

"*clears throat* W-well, we tried our best. Anyway, we got her presents," said Mr Yagami.

I gratefully accepted the delicately wrapped gifts, painfully aware of how there was one present short. Light seemed to notice this and silently gestured to L, making sure that I was the only one that could see.

Swallowing the lump in my throat, I offered to cut the cake to share around. L immediately placed his hand on mine as I grabbed the knife and cut into the sweet dessert.

Unsurprisingly, he carefully moved my hand to cut a piece that almost reached the size of a whole quarter before serving it to himself. I forced the rising irritation back down before cutting the rest into even pieces, like a civilised person who thought of others.

Hmph, this made me think that he only thought of himself. To think he used my birthday as an excuse to get extra cake for free...what a jerk. And I was stupid enough to fall for him.

"(Y/n), are you not gonna eat?" Light asked.

"Who do you think I am? There is no way I'm gonna pass up the chance to get free stuff and cake."

"What an intriguing way to put it. Then you must look forward to all other celebrations that require one to buy gifts for another," commented L.

"What can I say? I know how to interpret these situations."

"Any normal person would think that one's birthday is a time of joy and celebration," replied Mr Yagami.

"And that is precisely what I think, sir."

"No, I mean it is a day to celebrate your age and birth yet you choose to use that day to gain presents from others."

"*laughs* I'm joking but-"

"(Y/n)-chan, can I talk to you in private?" L asked.

"Uh sure?"

Giving the others an apologetic shrug, I followed the black-haired male into another room that connected to his office. He closed the door before pinning me against the wall.

My eyes widened as he forced his lips onto mine, giving me no time to process what was happening as he deepened the kiss. Having no choice but to kiss back, I felt my hands play with his soft hair.

"This is my present, (Y/n)-chan," he whispered.

"What? A kiss?"

"A confession."

~Back to the present~

I licked my lips, realising just now that his lips had left the subtle sweetness of the strawberry cake from earlier. He continued to kiss my neck before I stopped him, a large smirk forming on my face.

"L, there is no way I am letting you play with me without getting something in return."

"Something in return...but am I not already meeting that condition?"

"How so?"

"The pleasure."

"Pfft, you must have some childishly dirty thoughts in that head of yours. For such a smartass, I never expected this side of you. But it'll take much more than a kiss."

"Is that a challenge?"

"Hey, I never said that, did I?"

"Yet you implied it."

"Hmm, I wonder if I did."

"Stop stalling for time."

"Getting impatient, are we?"

He stole my lips in another passionate kiss, this one rougher than the first. I kissed back before laughing, making him pull away. It would be my pleasure to tease this dark-haired male.

"This is by far the most interesting birthday present I've ever gotten."

"Then let me make it even better," he replied.

"Try to...if you can."

I gasped as he pulled me into another kiss but I immediately pushed him away as the door opened.

"Seems like I interrupted something," Light commented.

"Seems like you're jealous you don't have a girlfriend."

"So are you two official?" he asked, ignoring my previous statement.

"That all depends on L."
