    "O-oops..." You stutter out nervously. Numerous papers and documents flutter delicately around you. It would be a pretty scene, but the angry Light mostly ruined any chance of it being 'artistic'. You had been hurrying around HQ trying to make sure you kept yourself useful. However, go everyone else, it was the opposite. They found it a burden trying to work with you, due to your overwhelming energy.

    "Goddammit (Y/N)! You made a mess - again!" Light growled, looking at his coffee stained suit.

     "I-I'm sorry Light-kun. I-I was just trying to help." You frowned ashamedly.

    "You're an idiot." You gasp, hurt. That is how you all described Matsuda. You didn't think you were that bad...

    "B-But that means..."

    "Exactly!" Light hissed meanly.

     All your life, you had never been the best in school, you weren't really the smartest kid, so people called you useless. That's when you learned to get your own way, without using your brain. Your natural charm got you out of -and in- many sticky situations. All your life you had been trying to prove that you weren't useless, so Lights next words stung more than anything he's said to you before.

     "You're so useless! Just get out of my sight!" He stomped away and you fell your bottom lips tremble. You knew crying was inevitable, so you booked it in the opposite direction away from the prying eyes and the colossal mess you made.

     Somewhere in the HQ you finally stopped in a random corridor. You sighed and leaned back against it and the tears streamed down your face. You had never been good enough, not once in your life. You had resolved to quit the task force as soon as you could stop the tears. Possibly before that, if you saw someone of importance. Watari would be your best bet.

    But the next best, or worst, person came strolling cautiously around the corner. His cautiousness told you he knew you were there and what state you were in.

    "(Y/N)?" The panda-eyed detective blinked blankly before moving closer to stand next to you.

     "Yes, Ryuzaki?" You use shaking hands to wipe away the tears as best you can, and rub your eyes viciously, but that just makes more fall.

     "Please, don't feel bad about yourself. You know how stressed Kira- ahem, I mean, Light, can get. This case is taking a toll on all of us." He smiles and you could've swore it was the cutest thing you've seen.

     "About the case, Ryuzaki, I-I think I'm going to quit." You give a weak smile.

    "Why?" His eyebrows furrow.

     "I'm no help. I'm just a burden, I don't even do anything helpful." You sigh sadly

    "You could help me?" He propositions.

    "How..?" You perk up slightly but are still doubtful.

    "You know my cravings for sweets?" He prompts.

     "Of course...?" You look at him blankly. Does he thinks I'm an idiot too? Everyone knows about his sweet obsession...

    "It would be of great benefit if I had someone to make them for me..." He hints with a slight smirk.

    "Y-you want me to make you sweets?" You look at him wide eyed. He would actually trust you with that?

    "Of course." That damn adorable smile again...

    "Y-you really trust me to do that?" You didn't want to get this wrong.

    "Why wouldn't I?" His head tilts like a lost puppy. D'aww!

    "W-well, I'm hardly component with any detective things, I'm probably no good at-"

    "I'm sure you'll do wonderful." His hand lays on my shoulder and I grin widely.

    "When can I start?"

   "Whenever you want-"

   "Thanks Ryuzaki!~" you sing. You press a quick thankful kiss on the corner of his lips before slipping away to bake sweets with a bright blush on your face, thinking of how nice his lips felt. Unbeknownst to you, Ryuzaki still stood, frozen in the corridor with a hand touching where your lips had lingered and a painfully obvious crimson blush.
