Death Gods Only Eat Apples

[.chasm.]

"Oh..." L put one hand in his pocket, lifting the other and pushing his thumb to his lip. "Can I have the cookies now?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura sighed and crossed her arms. "I guess...." she told L. "You really need to start eating some proper food, you know..."

 

[.chasm.]

"I do," L said, shaking his head again to get water out of it. "Sometimes. Watari used to force me to eat proper meals every couple of weeks."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura shook her head. "I guess I'll be taking over that job for Watari then.... When's the last time you ate a proper meal?"

 

[.chasm.]

L shrugged, shaking his head again. "I can't remember when exactly," he said. "But you can't make me eat any of that horrible food."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura let out a light laugh. "Trust me, I can..... It's not that horrible at all!"

 

[.chasm.]

L pulled a face. "It all tastes disgusting. Unless I can put sugar on everything."

 

[nokotchi]

"No, I won't let you put sugar on everything.... It makes the meal just as bad for you as cake, cookies and all of your other sweets!" Sakura explained.

 

[.chasm.]

"Then just let me keep eating sweets," L said, turning and walking down the corridor. "Would the cookies be cooler by now?"

 

[nokotchi]

"Yes, but I'm not sure I should let you eat them until you have at least a small meal of something other than sweets...." Sakura told L, following after him.

 

[.chasm.]

L glanced back at Sakura, chewing his thumb. "You said I could have them if I took a shower."

 

[nokotchi]

"True.... I don't go back on my word. You can have two cookies... Then, you have to eat a small meal." Sakura replied.

 

[.chasm.]

L turned back around and walked into the kitchen, chewing on his thumb. "What's going to be in the 'small meal'?" he asked, walkng over to the counter and picking up a cookie.

 

[nokotchi]

"Probably some veggies and stuff.... I know you don't like meat though......" Sakura told him.

 

[.chasm.]

"I don't like vegetables either," L said, staring at Sakura and nibbling on the edge of the cookie.

 

[nokotchi]

"Well, that's too bad." Sakura said, patting L's back and going to the fridge to pick out something for L to eat.

 

[.chasm.]

"But if you're not forcing me to eat meat..." L trailed off, watching Sakura and taking a bigger bite of the cookie. "I'm going to take over surveillence again."

 

[nokotchi]

"Alright....." Sakura muttered, still searching the fridge. "I'll tell you when it's time to eat."

 

[.chasm.]

"I'm taking these," L said, picking up a coupel more cookies, then turning and walking back into the main room. "I can carry on surveillence now," he told Mogi, crouching down on his chair.

 

[nokotchi]

Mello returned with a bag full of chocolate and plopped down next to Matt.

Matsuda tilted his head at L. "Why is your hair all smooth?"
