Chapter 4 - Music

===_YOUR POV ===

          I hummed along to the song blasting out of my headphones as I rolled around Lawliet's hotel room, trying to keep an eye on every monitor all at once. I heard a slight chuckle behind me as a monotone voice piped up. I pulled out one headphone and said, "You interrupted?" He smiled and walked over to the nearest monitor. The second he reached it, a big, black letter J on a white background popped up, followed by a filtered voice. "L, I have heard that you've teamed up with the Task Force in the Kanto region. I would like to join in the investigation. Please allow me access to the meetings and any and all data necessary to the case." L looked at me and I shrugged. If I could just play it cool for a little longer...

===_L'S POV ===

          I walked into my bedroom to hear (Y/N) humming Pity Party by Melanie Martinez. I can't help but laugh as (G) tries to roll around in my chair, keeping an eye on all the monitors at once. I informed (G) that I was expecting guests, but (G) music was so loud that (G) couldn't hear me. (G) pulled out one earbud and asked, "You interrupted?" I smiled and walked to my main computer when Justice decided (G) wanted to talk to me. The filtered voice came through my speakers; "L, I have heard that you've teamed up with the Task Force in the Kanto region. I would like to join in the investigation. Please allow me access to the meetings and any and all data necessary to the case." I glanced at (Y/N) for (G) opinion, but (G) just shrugged.

          I turned back to the computer and accepted Justice's help when (G) gave me some surprising news. "There has been a strong of murders scattered across California as of late. Every time, the letters BB are written near the victims in their blood." (Y/N) sits up straight in (G) chair. "BB?" (G) rolls up in my chair. Justice, naturally, is immediately suspicious. "Who is that?" (Y/N) suddenly pales. (G) turns to me and whispers, "I'm gonna go take a bath." I nod, recognizing that (G) just needed an escape. "L? Who was that?" Oh, right, Justice. "Just my (G)friend." "Oh? Can I know (G) name?" I chuckle. "No." "Hmm. Oh well. Can never be too careful, I guess." And with that, J signed off. Luckily, I now had a great lead and was 95.273% sure who J was.

===_YOUR POV ===

          I turned on the faucet and closed the plug, letting the tub til with the hottest water possible as I turned on the playlist. I poured some bubble bath into the streaming water and stripped. Actually, on second thought, I should probably wear a swimsuit... Just in case. I always did. I threw it on, turned of the water and up the music, and slipped into the bath. Soon enough, i heard a knock on the door. "(G). (Y/N), are you decent?" Watari's voice cut through the music and I looked down at my swimsuit under all the bubbles. "Yeah, sure." I heard the sound of a key in the lock, then the handle turned, and shuffling footsteps walked through the doorframe.

          "You know, you didn't have to call me. I had just walked into the room, after all." I chuckled as Lawliet approached the bathtub. "Wasn't me." "This time. My long, (H/C) hair comes to the top of the bubbles as I dunked my head to get it wet for the soap. When I came back up, L was squatting directly next to me. "You honestly didn't know about the BB murders?" "No, but I'm fairly certain it's --" "don't finish that; you might regret it later." I just hummed along to the song that was playing and he suddenly stood up and tried to get in with me, but I yelled, "WOAH, WOAH, WOAH!!! No clothes." He rolls his eyes and strips to his underwear, then climbs in the bathtub next to me. I finish washing up and just sit there. Eventually , he wraps his arms around me and we fall asleep to the music.

=== BB'S POV ===

          I add the last curve to the B as the telltale sirens sound. I stand up and run into the nearest shop, which happens to be a restaurant. I pull out my phone to FaceTime (Y/N) as I lick the raspberry jam off my finger. The police bust in as I'm being served my dinner. They spot me and make their way over. "You're the one working with the FBI, right?" I nod. "We need you to come take a look at this." I stand up, put my phone back on my pocket, and follow them out into the alleyway, where the man I've just stabbed is leaking jam all over the place.

=== YOUR POV ===

          Watari shook me awake and I jolted up into a sitting position. "Fu--" "Yes, (G). (Y/N) The Task Force is here." I launched myself out of the tub, not even looking for Lawliet. I grabbed the towel off its hook, throw it around myself, and run out to the bedroom as quickly as possible. I dry myself off and grab a sweater and pair of shorts, throw them on, and towel off my hair. I rush back into the bathroom and brush my teeth, then yank a brush through my hair while I run to the bathtub and shake L awake. He sits up, looks around, and sees me. His eyes widen and he frantically jumps out of the tub and scrambles around, getting ready. I pull the plug to drain the water and run out into the bedroom. Lawliet is running toward the main room, but I grab him arm and the nearest towel. He turns toward me and I start to dry off his dripping wet, raven-black hair gently. He rolls his eyes, grabs the towel, and violently shakes his head. I chuckle and grab the brush from the bathroom, working out the knots in his hair. He takes the bush and points to the door while he puts it away. I open it and he calmly walk out. I move to close it, but he says, "This is my associate, Alex," cuing me to walk out. I step out just a touch, holding my hands in front of me, looking at the ground. "Nice to meet you," I say, looking up into the faces of four Task Force members and Light Yagami's father.


============================================

I'm so sorry that this chapter is a touch shorter than all the others. I hope you enjoyed it all the same.

Love, Crystal.
