Death Gods Only Eat Apples

[nokotchi]

Sakura just continued to kiss L, her eyes closed and arms wrapped tightly around his neck.

 

[.chasm.]

L shifted in his seat again, dropping his hands from Sakura's shoulders and pulling away. "So that's what happens," he said, pushing his thumb to his lip.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura smiled slightly and nodded, still blushing. "Yeah..." she whispered. She was happy that her assumptions of L not caring were wrong.

 

[.chasm.]

L ducked away from Sakura's arms, looking back up at the screens. "We should be more careful with the surveillence."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura turned to the screens and scanned over them quickly. "Yeah, you're right."

 

[.chasm.]

L span around in his chair, facing the screens, and rested his chin on his knees again. "We need to plan the surveillence carefully. We need to make sure Ligt believes that the suspects he gave us have been left alone."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura nodded and continued to look over the screens. "Yeah, if we convince Light that the suspects he gave us are off-camera, we could catch him really slipping up."

 

[.chasm.]

"If he's Kira, he may try to use of of these suspects as a successor," L said, chewing his thumb. "I said that Kira wouldn't be stupid enough to use one of these, so he might think that it's safe and go forward."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura was still a bit dazed from the kiss and L's confession. Snapping out of the trance she had seemingly been in, she glanced over at L. "If Light is Kira.... This definitely puts him in a very tight spot."

 

[.chasm.]

"If he uses one of these, then we've caught him," L said, glanicng at Sakura. "If not, then he has to look harder for a successor that won't be as good." He turned to face Sakura again lifting his head.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura nodded, turning to face L as well. "If Light uses one of these people for a successor, it's almost as though he's just walking right up to us and confessing..."

 

[.chasm.]

"If he does, then the case will be over sooner than I thought," L said, chewing his thumb. He slid closer to Sakura, staring at her with wide eyes.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura nodded. "Yup." She met eyes with L and smiled at him.

 

[.chasm.]

L chewed on his thumb, still staring at Sakura. "You still smell like strawberries..."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura giggled softly. "Oh really?" She slid her chair closer to L. " You do too..."

 

[.chasm.]

L buried a hand in his hair and scratched his head. "I like that shampoo. We should get more."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura smiled over at L. "I'll take you to the store and we can find some for you to use."

 

[.chasm.]

L looked around the room quickly. "I'd have to leave headquarters?" He rested his chin on his knees again, frowning.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura placed a hand on L's head and shuffled his hair. "Aw, come on... I'd be right there with you." She leaned down a bit so she was eye level with him. "You'd be fine."

 

[.chasm.]

L looked up at Sakura, keeping his chin on his knees. "As long as we can get some sweets," he said.
