Chapter 12 | sleepover

You were finishing up dinner in the dining hall talking to A and B and whatnot.

As soon as you got back to your room, it was pjs on and lights out, not to sleep though, to stay up all night telling secrets. But something, someone was distracting you.

What was up with A?

He was just... starring into the void?

Everyone was finished eating, now you were all just talking, but not A, he seemed... off. He isn't usually like this. You had to speak up.

"A?"

Your voice made the other two look at you, but A just kept starring at the table.

He seemed... distressed?

"A!"

He snapped out of it and looked up to find everyone looking at him.

"Huh?" He said.

"Are you ok? You've been really off recently" you asked.

He was quiet for a moment, his expression seemed worried.

"Y-yeah... I'm fine. U-uh, excuse me..." he stammered, getting up and taking his plate with him.

He put it in the kitchen and ran off to his room.

Something wasn't right...

The three of you exchanged confused looked.

"I'll go talk to him. Goodnight guys" B said, getting up and taking his plate.

You turned to L.

"Is he ok? What do you think is up?"

"I can't tell... maybe we should just let B talk to him and ask him later?" L said.

"Probably... it's pretty late and he seems kind of fragile at the moment" you replied.

"Les just get back to our room"

You both got up and grabbed your plates, putting them in the kitchen.

You were a little worried about A, but you had your sleepover with L tonight, so you were quite exited. Sure you sleep in the same room all the time, but this was a proper sleepover, with games and stuff. You'd both decided it was beneficial to your little case, so you weren't going to waste it.

You excitedly pulled L by the handcuffs down the hall and into your room. You grabbed your pyjamas and went into the other room, closing the door the best you could with the handcuff chain in the way.

Putting on shirts was kind of a struggle with those handcuffs, but you did manage to get changed properly. You found L on the computer when you came back.

"Nope! We said no cases!" You said, turning the minor off.

"Right, I forgot. Well, what do you do on sleepovers?" L asked.

"Spill gossip, whack each other with pillows, stay up all night and talk about random things, you know, that kind of stuff"

"I'm not sure a pillow fight would work with handcuffs..."

You held up your cuffed hand and your eyes followed the chain down to L's cuffed hand.

"Yeah, I think that'd be an injury waiting to happen..."

"Let's not have to go to the ER at 3am"

You flopped down onto a beanbag next to L and sighed. What to do? L isn't really a gossiper... and you doubt he'd let you paint his nails... even if that blue would look really good on him, it bring out his eyes.

"Ok then... let's play truth or dare" you suggested.

"Ok fine. Just nothing illegal ok?" He replied.

"We're detectives, why would we do anything illegal"

"That's true"

"Ok I'll start, truth or dare?"

"Truth"

"Well I would say something juicy like ask if you're a virgin, but you're L so the answers obvious" you laughed.

"What's that meant to mean?!" He replied.

"You haven't even touched a girl in your life. Sure you've hugged me but come on..."

"...well you're not wrong"

"Ok uhhh... what's the first thing you'd do if you woke up as a girl?" You asked.

"Probably scream... then realise what the hella going on and just stare at myself in the mirror until it sinks in" he replied.

"That sounds like what I'd do"

"Ok truth or dare?"

You decided to start easy.

"Truth"

"What's the weirdest thing you have an emotional attachment to?" He asked.

You thought for a moment, mentally scanning your room for all your possessions. Then you remembered.

"Ok this is soooo weird, but for some reason I've never been able to let go of this one pencil. It's literally been sharpened down to almost nothing but for some reason I still haven't thrown it out" you explained.

"A pencil?"

"I don't know! My five year old brain thought all the blue spots were so cool and for some reason I just can't throw it out"

"You're weird"

"I know, truth or dare?" You asked.

"Dare" he replied.

You had to make this worth it, so you took a second to think of something.

"Put three ice cube in your pants" you laughed.

"What? Why?" He whined.

"It'll be funny!"

You got up and pulled him by the handcuffs into the kitchen, luckily no one was there. You opened the freezer and grabbed three ice cubes.

"Here"

"But it'll be cold..."

"If you won't, I'll shove them down there"

"Fine"

He grabbed the ice cubes and just went for it. He tensed up and almost yelped at the cold.

"Ahhhh it's cold!" He whined.

"Keep them there until they melt!"

"(Y/N)!"

"Do it!"

You stood there until he had three wet patches. One on his knee, one on his side and one on his upper thigh.

"You suck. Truth or dare..." he said.

"I'll let you even it out and go dare" you replied.

And instantly regretted.

He gave you a devious look and you knew it'd be bad.

"Eat a table spoon of chilli sauce"

You were going to die, but you put on a strong act.

"Done"

He looked through the cupboards and found the hottest sauce he could, grabbed a spoon and poured some on, hiking the spoon out for you.

You took a shaky breath and put the spoon in your mouth, quickly swallowing the sauce, only to instantly regret it.

"AHH WHAT THE HELL THATS TOO HOT!" you exclaimed.

L just started to laugh at your reaction.

The noise coming form the kitchen had alerted Watari, who came to see what was going on.

"What's happening here?" He asked, upon seeing you with your mouth under the tap and desperately trying to cool your taste buds.

"Truth or dare happened" L said.

"What's up with (y/n)?"

"I made her eat a spoon full of the hottest sauce here"

He just laughed, you let this happen so it was your own fault.

"Don't do anything too stupid"

"We know" L said.

And with that he left.

You finally cooled down and calmed down too.

"I hate you" you pouted.

"No you don't"

"Ok yeah I don't... anyway-"

"Truth"

You dragged him back to your room as you thought of something, flopping on the bed when you got there.

"What's something you hope no one at the orphanage ever finds out? Don't worry I won't tell" you asked.

He thought for a moment, looking into his past memories.

"You swear you won't tell?"

"Cross my heart, hope to die, poke a needle in my eye"

"Well... only Watari knows this because he was there... remember that one time we went to the theme park with the other kids and I went missing for a while?"

"Yeah?"

"Well I kind of threw up... because of some fairy floss and a ride that was too fast. I was gone for so long because I sat in the bathroom for two hours throwing up everywhere..."

You laughed.

"I told you to be careful that day!"

"Well I obviously didn't listen... c-can we move on?"

"Alright, truth me" you said.

"Would you rather... cut off all your hair or taunt a wasp nest?" He asked.

"Taunt a wasp nest... no... cut of my hair... wait no I can run away from the wasps so the wasps"

"You could still get stung"

"Yeah but I like my hair... and I might not get stung if I'm fast enough"

The game went on for an hour or two, until it got boring, and the dares escalated to wearing pants as hats.

So next, you decided to take it easy and watch a movie. You decided to put on splash, that movie about the boy who fell in love with a mermaid and the mermaid had to keep her find a secret, B said it was funny so you thought, why the hell not.

But you didn't stay silent for that long.

"This is actually pretty fun" L said.

"Sleepovers? Yeah they're fun. I remember the ones we had when we were 5, they weren't really sleepovers though they were more colouring and sleeping on the floor" you said.

"We did so much stuff when we were little... I kind of want to go back then. We didn't have cases to worry about. I mean, I like being a detective and all, but some cases are just so boring"

"I feel ya, the other month, I had to work on the moth boring kidnapping case. It was so obvious who the culprit was, the only reason we didn't get him quickly was because he tried to leave the country"

"I've had that happen, it's more annoying than anything else you can come across in a case"

"Tell me about it"

You both looked at the movie for a moment, becoming bored of just watching movies in silence.

"Maybe... if were careful, we can have that pillow fight" you suggested.

"You're on"

With that, a pillow hit your face.

You would have a lot to add to your case file when the night ended.
