(Y/N)'s Pov

I wanted to do something special for L, just as a way to thank him for everything he's done for me. He gave me a job, a new home, and helped me with problems I had.

I never got the chance to really say thank you to him.

So, it was just another normal day at the taskforce. I took a peak downstairs to see everyone working hard, as usual.

'Good. Everyone's working hard as I thought', I turned around and tiptoed back to my floor and made my way to my kitchen.

"Alright, let's get started!" I say to myself, grabbing ingredients from my fridge and cupboards.

I was going to bake L a cake.

I had never baked a cake on my own before and I wasn't an excellent cook, but how bad could be?

I started putting the ingredients into the bowl.

"Flour, sugar, milk..." I say to myself, ticking off each ingredient as I went.

"Eggs", I say, picking up two eggs.

I wasn't very good using eggs, so I kinda panicked here.

One of the eggs went in the bowl fine, but I kinda hit the other one too hard off the bowl, and I got egg everywhere.

"Dammit!" I say, as I reach for another egg and put it into the bowl.

"That seems about right", I say finally, stepping back to take a look at my work.

"Now I mix all the ingredients together", I say, grabbing the whisk and turning it on.

Oh god...

I turned on the whisk to the highest, by mistake.

Cake mix went everywhere! On the floor, the walls, even myself!

I squealed and quickly turned off the whisk, gasping for breath as I nearly had a heart attack!

I added what was left of the cake mix into a cake tin and put it in the oven.

I looked at my watch. "I don't know how long I have to leave it in the oven", I say to myself. "I'll leave it for about half an hour".

I look around my kitchen at the mess I had made, and I let out a sigh.

"Better get this mess cleaned up before anyone sees", I say, grabbing my cleaning equipment and getting to work, srubbing the walls, mopping the floor, and changing my clothes.

When I had finally finished cleaning, I slumped into a seat in the kitchen and fell asleep.

"Hey! Where's (Y/N)?" Light asked, and looked around the room.

"Oh, she's not here?" I say, also looking around. I had been so focused on work that I hadn't noticed (Y/N) wasn't here.

'I hope she hasn't done anything stupid or dangerous', I thought to myself.

"I'll go and check on her and see if everything's okay", I get up and begin to make my way to (Y/N)'s floor, but I soon stop at the stairs.

"Do any of you smell burning?" I ask, putting my thumb to my lip.

(Y/N)'s Pov

I woke up from my nap to an awful smell. I open my eyes to see smoke coming out of my oven!

"Shit! My cake!" I yell, running to my oven.

I couldn't see anything from how much smoke filled the room. I couldn't find the door to the oven.

"Alright! Bad idea!" I say, stepping back from the oven and looking around the room to find the kitchen door. I had to get out of here and warn everyone!

I couldn't find the door!

"Dammit! Where's the door?!" I yell, coughing and choking on the smoke.

I tried to get as far away from the oven as I could. I backed into a corner, coughing and choking.

"HELP!!!" I yell as loud as I could.

No response.

I broke down crying. Why does everything bad always happen to me?! All I wanted was to make something nice for L to say thank you!

L's Pov

I ran upstairs to see where the smell was coming from.

'It's not coming from Misa's floor', I thought as I ran up another set of stairs.

(Y/N)'s floor...

That's when the smell got worse.

I got to the top of the stairs to see smoke coming out of (Y/N)'s kitchen door.

'What has she done?!' I thought as I ran to the door.

As I reached it, I yelled for (Y/N), and stepped inside, searching for her.

"(Y/N)! Where are you?!" I yell, covering my mouth from the smoke.

I got no response the first time, so I yell again.

"R-Ryuzaki!" I hear a voice.

It was (Y/N)'s voice.

I follow the sound of her voice till I find her in a corner.

"Ryuzaki! I can explain!" I hear her shout.

"Later!" I say, picking her up, bridal style is it? "Right now, we need to get out of this room!"

I head out where I came in, carrying (Y/N) in my arms. She was coughing badly.

"We'll need to get you to a hospital (Y/N)", I say to her.

"My...cake!" I hear her whimper.

I come rushing down the stairs to find everyone staring at me in shock.

"(Y/N)?!" Light asked surprised.

"What happened?!" Matsuda asked.

"Quickly, call an ambulance!" I yell, as I place (Y/N) gently on the sofa.

"What?!" Matsuda asked.

"I'll explain everything later. Do it now!" I yell, grabbing a fire extinguisher and running back to (Y/N)'s floor.

"Alright!" Matsuda takes out his cell phone and calls for an ambulance.

"Ryuzaki...!" I hear (Y/N) say, breathlessly.

I didn't look back. I kept running until I reached (Y/N)'s kitchen. I covered my mouth and went inside again. I spotted the oven, where the smoke was coming from.

I put out the fire that had started in the oven.

I quickly run back out to the others.

-Another Time Skip!-

(Y/N)'s Pov

I slowly open my eyes to see a white ceiling. I was lying in a hospital bed.
I look around to see Light and Misa sitting beside me.

"What happened?" I ask them.

"You almost set the taskforce on fire (Y/N)! What were you thinking?!" Light asks. I could tell he was worried about me.

"I just wanted to make a cake for Ryuzaki..." I say, tearing up. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen!"

Misa put a hand on my shoulder.
"It's alright (Y/N). Everyone's okay, and the fire's out. All thanks to Ryuzaki!" She gave me a reassuring smile.

I smile back at her.

L saved my life. If it weren't for him, I would be dead!

"Where is Ryuzaki?" I ask.

"He's just outside talking to a few people", Misa says.

"We could go and get him if you want?" Light says.

I nod. Light and Misa get up and make their way to the door. Misa stops and turns to face me.

"I'm glad you're alright (Y/N)!" She says, giving me a really big smile.

I smile back at her. "Thank you", I reply.

It wasn't long before I saw L coming in and sitting next to me.

"I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused", I say, a tear rolling down my face.

L wiped it away with his sleeve.

"It's alright (Y/N). Please don't cry. You're safe now", L says, giving me a small smile.

"You almost died because of me!" I scream, not being able to stop my tears from falling.

"But I didn't", L says. "How did all this happen in the first place?"

"I never got the chance to really say thank you to you for everything you've done for me. So I tried baking you a cake..." I helplessly say.

L stroked my hair. "You didn't have to go out of your way to do that for me (Y/N). I would have accepted just a normal 'Thank you'".

"I wanted to show you how grateful I was, but it just turned out horribly wrong!" I say, still crying my eyeballs out!

I look up at L. "Thank you for saving my life! And for everything else you've done for me!" I yell those words at him that he flinches.

"I'm happy to be of help", L says to me, wiping away my tears.

"(Y/N), you seem to have a little bit of cake mix on your face" L says, leaning closer to me.

"Huh?" I say.

Before I could do anything else, I felt L lick my cheek.

I squealed a bit and blushed a nice red.

"That tastes nice" L says. "It's a shame I couldn't eat your cake".

I put a hand to my cheek.

"I...I'm sorry..." I whisper. I didn't know what else to say! I was still very shocked.

"It's alright (Y/N)", L says. "Everyone from the taskforce has agreed to pay for anything that will help you get better, myself included".

"But...why would you all do this for me?" I ask.

"Because the taskforce are your friends, and I think of you as something more than that", L gives me a smile as his cheeks go slightly red.

"Thank you so much", I say as I lean in to kiss him.

He leans in at the same time and we share a sweet kiss. L puts his hand behind my head and pushes it to deepen the kiss.

We broke away gasping for air.

"Don't go baking cakes on your own again (Y/N)", L says to me.

"I promise!" I say laughing nervously, as we both lean in for another kiss.
