Chapter 45 | teeth

There's still a week until light makes his move, so you're still in hiding on L's floor. But you had to take a little visit to the reaper realm to take care of some business, so why L was still working you decided to go then. You were walking though the record library with your broken glasses, you cracked the lenses yesterday and you had to get them fixed. They weren't lying when they told you reapers are blind without glasses. You could barely see where you were going.

You tripped for the billionth time that day when someone noticed your fall.

"You should take care of your glasses"

You didn't recognise that voice very well but you had heard it. Who was it?

"I can't see anything forgive me" you said, bringing yourself to you feet.

You felt the glasses be taken from your hands and as the reaper came into lose range you saw who it was. Long sliver hair and a black cloak.

"Oh Mr. Crevan it's you"

"Yes yes, so how's your relationship going miss (l/n). Or is it Mrs?"

"No it's just Miss and it's kind of hectic at the moment. I'm due to save his life in a week, its nerve wrecking"

He gestured for you to follow him and that's exactly what you did.

"Well when someone's life is in your hands it must be"

You tripped again but managed to stay on your feet.

Mr. Crevan went up to a large set of draws and started to look for new lenses. You went to go help but tripped on your way over, again. But this time you didn't land on the floor, you landed into someone's back, taking them down with you.

"SORRY!" You said scrambling up, hearing Mr. Crevan laugh in the background.

"It's fine I should have been looking where I was going too"

Your vision cleared a little and you saw the red coat of Miss Sutcliff.

"Looks like you were one of the lucky few who got pointed teeth" she said.

"Huh? Oh yeah"

"Take care of them, sharp teeth come with a price, ugh I learned that the hard way"

"I still remember those days of you constantly making your mouth bleed by biting wrong" Mr. Crevan said.

"Shut up! I don't care how hot you are you promised you'd never speak of that"

You giggled and were handed your fixed glasses. You slipped them on and you could see clearly again.

"Thanks. Also what are the sharp teeth for?" You said.

"Some say it's a last resort for killing, some say you can take someone's soul the way a vampire takes blood. Taking someone's soul can kill them or turn them into an other worldly being, risky game to play" Miss Sutcliff explained.

"Ew and cool"

You checked your watch and saw you should probably get back.

"I have to get back, thank for the help guys"

"No problem"

"WAIT! Can I come just to see your boyfriend, I want to know if I should be jelly" the redhead said.

"Ok I guess"

"Good luck with her" Mr. Crevan said.

"Thanks, and can I just call you undertaker?" You said.

"Sure, I guess?"

"Thanks, well, see ya undertaker"

In the blink of an eye there was a pentagram beneath your feet and Miss Sutcliff jumped into the glowing star with you. Within two seconds you were back on L's floor.

He was sitting at his desk reading over some papers when he noticed you.

"Oh your back"

He got up and walked over to you, stopping on his tracks as the sight of the redhead.

"She looks like-"

"-I know"

"Miss Sutcliff, fellow reaper nice to meet you"

"Wow even the name... uh, nice to meet you" L said.

"Why does everyone else always get the good looking men? I'm jelly (y/n)" Miss Sutcliff said.

"In your face" you replied.

She lightly shoved you aside and playfully scoffed.

"Well I have records to file, good luck with the whole Kira thing, toodles!"

And with that, she disappeared.

"Don't tell me-" L began.

"Yep, Spears and Crevan too" you cut in.

"That's spooky"
