A/n: anarchy? Straight satisfying to watch bro. Here's a oneshot about it.

Prompt: you're at a protest, a riot breaks out and things start getting violent. Luckily a stranger jumps in to save you.

You were standing for what's right, screaming at the top of your lungs in the streets. You were prepared, you knew the cops didn't give a shit about the safety of the protesters so you were wearing all the safety gear you could. Knee and elbow pads, long sleeves, mask and goggles. What were you standing up for? More action against kira. When the Kira riots started to break out, the L supporters came crawling out of the woodworks and started protesting against them. And because kira was involved, you all covered your faces or any identifying features.

This turn out was massive, in the middle of the city two huge groups of people were screaming at each other. The cult of kira worshipers preaching like he's a god, and the L supporters trying to knock some sense into them, and mocking the cops for backing down from kira. You knew some were still on the case but the fact many of them resigned from it was absolutely disgusting.

It was loud, filled with people screaming and chanting. You would barely see over all the signs. L's logo painted onto your shirt and your sign reading 'fuck kira, fuck the pathetic justice system, fuck your cult'

There was graffiti of both the opposing logos all over the surrounding builds, broken windows, tipped over bins, smashed cop cars. People were mad, really mad. It was a mess.

Team L was mad at the cops for backing down from the case, Team kira was mad at them for not realising their whole database is criminals to the public. And of course teams L and Kira were mad at each other.

You'd pushed your way through the crowd as close to the front as you can, you could see the riot cops standing in a big human wall behind their shields trying to seperate the two groups. All you could hear was pure anger.

"He's killed innocent people!"

"Not all crimes are punishable by death!"

"Kira isn't a god"

"1312"

"The blood of thousands on your hands"

Over and over, until your throat started to hurt. In all honesty, in this horrible situation you were actually having fun standing up for yourself. But all that fun quickly drained from your body when you suddenly saw an object fly over the barricade of shields and hit the ground in front of you. A smoke bomb. Followed by loud bangs of more smoke bombs and the spraying of pepper spray. The bangs of guns and the chanting quickly switched to screams.

This wouldn't stop the riots, just halt them temporarily. Coughing from the smoke, you backed away until you could see again. People started to scatter. Everybody around you coughing and screaming as gunshots rang in the background.

People ran past you, bleeding from their arms, having asthma attacks, screaming in pain from the pepper spray. It was clear you needed to get out of here and come back when the riot died down. So you ran, wheezing from the smoke.

You watched as people scattered, some throwing rocks at windows of buildings and police cars as one last fuck you for the day. This would just happen again tomorrow but for not you had to run.

You skidded around the corner, seeing people hiding in the corners to help those injured. You saw a smile bomb fly over your head and land directly in your path, it exploded in front of you causing you to skid to a stop so you could change direction. But before you could, a hot fragment of the bomb hit your leg, burning a hole in your pants and burning your skin.

"MOTHERFUCKER-" you screamed, pain shooting through your body.

You coughed as your limped your way out of the smoke. Water, you needed water. And shelter.

You used the last of your energy to run a few more streets down where you could hear the riot still happening in the distance. That's when you spotted it, a fenced off building that had an underground car park. Jumping the fence and ripping a piece of your shirt off on the barbed wire, you stumbled into the parking lot and collapsed onto the floor. Coughing and wheezing to get your breath back all while you dug around in your bag for a water bottle. Only to find it was empty.

In desperation you tore the hole in your pants open, revealing a decent sized burn bleeding down your leg.

"Fuck, those bastard cops... ow ow ow..." you puffed.

You looked around at where you were, nothing but a few cars fancy looking ones. Maybe this was an office building? You pulled to it mask off to breathe better and took a deep breath. Right when you were about to get up to look for a vending machine or a water fountain you heard a door open and slam against the wall followed by footsteps and someone skidding up to you. Then the absolute bliss of cold water on your burn.

"Here" a males voice said, handing you a second water bottle.

You quickly tore the cap off and downed the whole thing in one go, panting and trying to steady your breath.

"Fuck sakes, those fucking shitbag cops-" you sighed.

"This doesn't look good but it's definitely not safe to go back out there yet..." the boy said.

You looked up at him, seeing who your mystery saviour is. A tall, thin, pale, clearly mixed boy. Thick messy black hair, sunken eyebags, soft skin, plain clothes. Seeing someone mixed in a place like Japan was definitely uncommon.

"Come inside, wait the riot out. I'll get some ice" he said.

"Thank you, holy shit I can't believe that just happened" you puffed, letting him pull you to your feet and take your bag.

You limped into the building, getting into an elevator and ending up in what looked like an office. A high tech one, tons of screens, speakers and shelves of papers. Cameras in the corners of the room. That's probably how the boy saw you, over security cameras outside.

"Is she ok?" Another man asked.

"She's burnt and breathed in a bunch of smoke but otherwise she's fine"

"What happened?"

"Those bastard cops threw a smoke bomb at me. They were clearly aiming for me and it hit my leg. I didn't do anything I just stood there chanting and out of nowhere they started throwing shit at us" you explained.

"It's turned into a full blown riot down there. She can't leave just yet. We're getting ice" the first boy said.

You ended up in a kitchen sitting on the counter, as the boy tried to as gently as possible wipe up the blood and put ice on the burn. It stung but you had to bear with it for the time being.

"How long have you been out there?" He asked.

"All day, I used up all my water. I've been protesting the past few weeks. It's disgusting that they're let kira run around out there and do nothing to stop it. The Kira taskforce is tiny, all the officers that resigned are fucking cowards, they took the job knowing full well that there's dangerous criminals out there and then they back down. Hope L has a lead at least. He's the only one bloody doing anything" you ranted.

"Unfortunately it seems the only way people pay attention is when people start riots. But this is a tricky situation we have three sides. Team Kira, team L and the police force" the boy said.

"Man if I could curb stomp Kira I would break his skull"

"You and me both"

Well, at least you ran into a helpful person on L's side. Who knows what would've happened if it was a kira supporter that found you.

"Anyway, thank you for this. That burn bloody hurts" you said.

"Don't mention it, you were clearly in pain. Only am asshole would sit by and watch, and I'm only an asshole to a... certain coworker"

You snickered at his comment, you felt that. There was alway that one damn coworker.

"Where is this place anyway?" You asked.

"A taskforce. Don't worry we don't stand with the cops down there. We've been working on kira for a while now" he said.

"Hold on- this is the Kira taskforce?"

"Yep, you got lucky. We've been trying to stop the riots in a humane way but there's too many people out there angry to control. I'm sure you know but our numbers here a limited"

"Holy shit, so you're the guys working under L? Or can you not give away that information?"

He was silent for a moment.

"Do I have your secrecy?"

You knew that if anything regarding L got out the public it could end in his death, bigger riots, a power spike for kira. You wouldn't dare.

"I know how bad it would be if it got out. I won't say anything and if I do your can arrest me or something" you said.

"Usually I wouldn't reveal such information but this is a... sticky situation. It was either I conceal this and let you suffer out there or bring you in and have you find out. But like I said, I'm only an asshole to one coworker"

You snickered again, feeling that last bit in your bones.

"My lips are sealed. What is L some emo beanpole or something?" You giggled.

"Well... I guess that's one way to describe me..."

You took a second to process that. Me? As in the tired guy in front of you? That's L? This guy? No way.

"No..."

"Yeah most people expect a wise old man or something but I'm just a smarter than average sugar addict with sleep problems" he said, way too causally.

"DUDE YOU'RE LIKE THE COOLEST PERSON ON THE PLANET! Not only are the one only one fucking doing anything in this case you're like a real life urban legend! And what is this bullshit? You're smart, selfless and cute all at the same time? What's the catch- are you a vampire or something?" You fangirled.

"The catch? A boatload of health problems" he replied.

"You and me both. Oh my god, thank you so much for saving my dumbass and tackling Kira and just being more competent than the whole police force and... everything!"

Without thinking, you jumped off the counter landing on your good leg and wrapped your arms around him. He tensed up at first, shocked at the sudden human contact.

"You're a ray of sunshine L, thank you for everything"

Once the gears turned in his brain, he hesitantly wrapped his arms around you in return.

"You know your probably the nicest person I've met" he said.

"Thanks... I'd gladly pour out all my kindness for you"

He'd never received this much praise and love from someone before. It bought a smile to his face. He was going to help you anyway, but now he'd be sure that any other riots go went to, you'd be extra protected. Hopefully this wouldn't be his last encounter with you.
