A/N: A L fic requested by @Bl1nggSh1nee ! I hope you enjoy this. TO AVOID CONFUSION, Y/N IS KIRA!
———————
KIRA…
TRANSLATION; KILLER
The night air was thick with tension as Y/N strolled through the dimly lit streets, shrouded in mystery. Another encounter awaited him at the Japanese task force building, where L resided. As he approached the building, a sense of both curiosity and agitation washed over him.
L was starting to suspect him which was getting on his nerves. But also. This was perfect. Y/n saw an opportunity in L's unexpected liking towards him, realising the potential to turn the tide of the investigation to his advantage. With a calculated approach, these last few months he had been under L's surveillance, he had strategically begun to build a stronger connection with him, gaining his trust through subtle cooperation and active involvement through the case. Y/n elected some sort of empathy from L, clouding his judgement and creating a shield around himself.
Inside, a labyrinth of monitors and scattered notes filled the room. L, a figure cloaked in the shadows, turned his piercing gaze towards you. "I have been observing you." he said, voice laced with suspicion. "There are certain inconsistencies in your actions that raise my suspicions." His intellect was unmatched, Y/N couldn't help but be captivated by his presence.
But Y/N was not without his secrets. Throughout school, he was classified as a genius right through to his adulthood. He is highly perceptive, and manipulative. He wouldn't be foolish enough to slip out a single word that would hint that he was Kira.
"May I ask, what certain inconsistencies are you speaking of?" He paused, thinking for a moment. "Ryuzaki?"
"Kira is located in the Kanto region of Japan, he is believed to be a college student based on the timings of the killings. It's obvious also that he has access to the police database, shown through the timing adjustments and a behavioural analysis we conducted whilst you were under camera surveillance at home."
Y/N's chest tightened, keeping the innocent facade present as his hands rested in his pockets. "Interesting deductions, L. The investigation certainly seems thorough. But I must say, attributing all these traits to one person seems like a stretch. Let's not overlook the possibility of a more elaborate scheme at play here, shall we?"
L found himself back in a loophole, so utterly confused, yet he knew Y/N was Kira. What was stopping him from detaining him? He disregarded his feelings for him, the slight attraction that grew for Y/N each day was starting to get to him.
The dance of words and gestures became a delicate balance between exposing his true intentions and maintaining his innocence.
"Funny how Kira seems to have a knack for timing, isn't it? Almost as if they have insider information.." Y/N spoke casually
As L's piercing gaze lingered on Y/N, a playful smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, hidden behind his facade of innocence. He knew damn well that he had L's attention, and he relished in the thrill of the game they played, each step drawing them together.
"Well Ryuzaki?" Y/N began, his tone teasing. "I must admit, once again your suspicions are certainly flattering. You tend to love a good mystery, especially when it's directly in front of you."
L's expression remained stoic, but a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. "Flattery will get you nowhere, Y/N." He retorted. "But I must admit, you do have a certain charm to you.."
Y/N couldn't help but chuckle softly, arms crossed over his chest. "I'm well aware of my charms." He replied. "But it seems you're the one caught in my web of intrigue. Tell me, detective, are you enjoying the chase as much as I am?"
L's lips quivered into a half-smile, a rare display of amusement. "You're certainly full of surprises, Y/N." He admitted.
