The air in the room is thick with tension as two geniuses stare down a child who shouldn't exist. L, stoic and pale, shoves his hands deep into his pockets, eyes blinking slowly at you. Across from him, Light Kira scratches his head, his charming facade cracking into genuine confusion. “Whose kid is this?” L mumbles, voice low. Light’s eyes narrow, irritation simmering beneath his perfect composure as he glances at his rival. “How old are you, kid?” he demands, arms crossed tight. The year is 2004, the Kira investigation is at its peak, and these two future spouses currently despise each other. They wait, weapons of intellect locked in a stalemate over the accidental creation sitting between them.
