Chapter 23 | web of secrets

Looking down at the pictures, L was silent. He had no idea what he'd just seen, but it sent chills up his spine.

"Wow..." he muttered.

"I know... it's like a yandere" you replied.

"Clearly Mikami is enamoured with Light in some way. I can't tell if it's love or a godly worship... or both..."

The two of you were the first to the club room, waiting for the others to finish their class. It ended slightly later for them today, they had a test. It gave you and L time to think about what this all meant, if it was connected to the killings in some way.

"I think he faked those messages to try and break Light and Misa up, but it backfired and he just ended up trying to fight you" you explained.

"I think so too, clearly he wants Light all to himself. I wonder how Takada plays into all this, if he wants rid of her too..." L replied.

You'd barely heard from the ware-cat in this whole case you knew she was involved with the killings, but exactly how involved you had no idea. Light clearly wanted her around for some reason, since he was basically two timing her and Misa. Maybe she was being blackmailed in a way similar to Misa? Or maybe she was just as deranged as Light but was good at keeping it hidden.

"Once we get the details from Misa and we catch Light, maybe everything will crumble and unfold in the trail... but I feel like Mikami has his own motives here. I mean prying Misa away from Light has literally nothing to do with them wanting to 'cleanse the school'. In fact it'd be BETTER for them if they all worked together. Clearly he's got some alternative motive here" you said.

L sighed, already stressed from all the school work that came with being a gifted kid and solving this case. Now another factor had been thrown into it... He slumped over the desk and groaned in annoyance.

"This just keeps getting weirder and more complicated, can't they just stick to writing edgy diary entries or something? Not committing actual crimes?" He sighed.

"I know, they're all whack. If only there wasn't anything at risk here and we could just dump everything on the police..." you replied.

L picked himself back up, pulling the keyboard for the computer over.

"Well... guess we better get this months paper done. We can fill the others in when they get here" he muttered.

"Oh yeah I need to update the blog. Headmistress wants us to post about the new lunch menu changes..." you replied, pulling your laptop from your bag.

Opening it, you turned it on only to find it was in the middle of an automatic update. Great, now you'd have to wait and waste more time. Rolling your eyes you pushed it aside to let it load and instead grabbed some paper from the stack in the middle of the desk to mess with while you waited. Being bored in class all the time you'd picked up a few tricks with paper, you could fold it into some fun things. It was the cool thing to do back in primary school, make chatter boxes, flowers and cranes.

You thought for a moment, what should you make? Glancing over at L who was already stuck into his work, you got an idea. Folding it into various triangles and pushing the corners in and out to form new shapes, you made a frog. Taking a pen from the pen cup you drew some eyes with eyebags on it, and two bite makes where the neck would be.

"Hey L" you said.

"Hm?" He replied.

You flicked it onto his keyboard, and he picked it up not expecting a paper creation to land in him.

"It's you" you teased.

L snickered, realising it was a vampire frog with his eyebags.

"Haha, very funny" he replied, balancing it in the top of his computer monitor.

"You have pretty eyes, my drawings don't do them justice" you smiled.

His cheeks tinged at those words, despite dating for a little while now he was still shy about compliments.

"Thanks. Although I think we both know you're the pretty one here" he replied.

"Hey, I don't wanna hear deflecting. Accept my love damnit" you said.

"I am accepting your love, I'm ALSO loving you in return"

"Be DEFLECTING. None of that mister, accept my love without trying to downplay your beauty"

He only blushed harder at that, your insistence he was worthy of love always made him feel so warm and fuzzy inside his cold dead body.

"Fine, fine. But you're pretty too, don't dodge that" he said.

"I love you L" you smiled.

"I love you too, and that frog is our son now. Hope you have a name in mine"

"Hmm... forg the frog"

L snickered, how did you come up with these things!?

"Forg?"

"Yeah, that's our son. Forg" you giggled.

He jokingly rolled his eyes, shaking his head and reached out to grab the collar of your shirt. Pulling you over to him, your lips met his for a sweet kiss.

And of course, the moment had to be ruined by the three misfit monsters opening the door.

"WOOah, did we just walk in on something?" Matt said.

You rolled your eyes, looking over at the younger students.

"Oh grow up, it's just a kiss" you joked.

"Cooties" Mello joked back.

"What are you 12?" L replied.

Tossing their bags down and taking their usual seats, the three quickly settled into their usual activities. Near actually doing work for the club and the M&Ms goofing off with whatever they had in their bags that day.

"Didn't you have something to tell us?" Near spoke up.

"OH! Yes, look at this. I found it snooping on Mikamis locker" you replied, getting out your phone and pulling up the photos.

You put it in the table and faced it toward them for them to see, swiping through each one.

"Ew what the fuck? That's stalkerish" Matt cringed.

"There's so many of them... is he like in love or some shit?" Mello asked.

"No idea. Either that or he worships Light like a god of some kind, maybe both" you explained.

The more they saw the more creeped out they looked, you didn't blame them. What kind of person keeps creeper photos scribbled with cryptic messages in their locker?

"Looks like there's more to this group than just killing people and a whistleblower..." Near muttered.

"I'm gonna see if Misa knows anything about it next time she contacts us. It's better she comes to us than we go to her, just in case Light catches wind of us being in contact" L replied.

"That's creepy as fuck. Even if he is in love that's not exactly way to express it, just like kiss or something... not whatever this is" Mello cringed.

"I thought you just said kissing gives you cooties?" You teased.

"You know what I mean"

You glanced at L, a cheeky grin on your face as an idea popped into your head.

"Oh so I can kiss L again and you won't complain?" You joked.

"Make out in your room or something bro, not here" Mello replied.

Notching your glance, L caught on. He'd take any chance to tease his younger sibling figures.

"Oh but I think I'll die again without true loves kiss, you boys are too young you'll understand when you're older and have partners yourselves" L teased.

"We're only a year younger than you two!" Matt jumped in.

"(Y/n) my love I'm simply starving for affection! Please my sweetness, just one kiss!"

"Oh my darling L, I couldn't possibly allow you to suffer a moment longer! Come, kiss me my love!" You teased.

Pulling L into another kiss, you both snickered against each other's lips listening to the boys groan in joking disgust. Such children... all three of them.
