I haven't watched Death Note in a few years so this will probably be a bit off character.

"Hey (y/n)," your friends starts talking, sitting beside you on the grass, "what do you think your soulmate will be like?"

You hum, thinking for a minute, before looking over at her with a smile.

"I think that he'll be really handsome, and play sports, but also be really smart." You giggle.

"Yeah, well, I hope that they're a movie star." You friend joins in your giggling.

Everyone dreamed of their soulmates, wishing that they'd have everything, the looks, the personality. Of course, that didn't always happen, but that never meant people weren't happy to finally meet their soulmate.

The sky was a dull grey and the air was cold. You pull your coat around you tighter in hopes that it would help you heat up. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and you were still shivering. The only thing warm about you was your cheeks, flustered by the fact that you were late.

Your little sister was sick and since your parents weren't able to care for you, you were doing so. She had spent the morning throwing up and crying, so you couldn't leave her until she was safely put back into bed. Your car then wouldn't start so you had to walk to work

You barge into the building, greeting the receptionists before heading to the office.

"I am so sorry I'm late," you say as you barge in, "I tried to get here as soon as I could."

"(L/n), why're you late?"

"Mr. Yagami, my sister was sick all morning, and my car wouldn't start." You begin to ramble.

"It's fine, at least you made it."

You frown as you look around, seeing that the room was almost completely empty besides a few officers.

"Uh, where is everyone?" you ask.

"They quit the investigation." Mr. Yagami explains.

"Why?" you continue to question.

"They don't trust L."

"I mean, I guess that's fair." You shrug.

"So, what about you?"

You blink, surprised at the question.

"Well, we don't have a choice but to trust him," you sigh, "of course I'll stay."

You had only been working under Mr. Yagami for about a year, since you only finished university a while ago. But since then you had been working well with everyone.

"Well, you should be prepared, because it won't be easy." Mr. Yagami tells you.

"I wouldn't want it any other way."

You fiddle with the red string on your finger as you walk alongside Matsuda. You had noticed that you were following your string, which meant that your soulmate was somewhere within the building.

You stayed quite as you walked up, noticing the others had already arrived as planned. You all stand in the room, waiting to meet L. When you notice that your red string leads towards another room, you begin to assume what was going to happen.

A man walks in, the one you had known as 'Watari'.

"L will see you now."

You and the other all watch in anticipation as L walks in. You really had not been expecting a lanky guy with panda eyes to enter.

Your eyes follow along your string, seeing that it connected to the stranger's pinky too.

"I'm L."

One by one your associates introduce themselves, showing off their badges. You had been so entranced by the string that you had not done so.

You raise a brow as L lifts his hand, pointing a finger gun at you all.

"Bang!"

"What the hell are you playing at?!" Aizawa shouts, confused.

L just smirks, "if I were Kira, you'd be dead by now, Yagami Souichirou."

This causes you to accidentally let out a snort, causing everyone to look over at you.

"And why didn't you show your badge?" L asks.

You grin, "because, I was distracted by this."

You lift your hand up to show the string that attached the both of you, which had now become visible to your co-workers. They all let out surprised sounds, causing you to giggle. L simply quirks his lips into a barely noticeable smile.

"Now, as we know-"

~~~

"Well, if you had just given me a bite of your cake, I wouldn't have stolen the muffin." You grin, poking your tongue out.

"You could just go buy your own sweets." He suggests, leaning closer to you.

You smile, booping him on the nose, "nah."

L just rolls his eyes, taking a bite of the muffin in your hand.

"Hey!" you pout.

"Could you two save that for when you're alone." You hear Aizawa groan.

"No need to be snappy, Aizawa." You chuckle, looking back down at your computer.

You sit your laptop onto your legs, using the arm of L's chair to rest your feet.

"Gross."

"Oh shut it."
