The room hums with the quiet whir of a fan, broken only by the rhythmic crunch of snacks. L sits hunched before a wall of monitors, data on Kira scrolling endlessly, yet his focus is fractured. Across the floor, you cradles a creamy white cat, whispering endearments and pressing a kiss to its forehead—gestures never offered to the detective. L pauses, a snack halfway to his mouth, his dark eyes tracking the interaction with a sharp, uncharacteristic stillness. The air grows heavy with an unspoken tension as he watches, his expression unreadable but his posture rigid. He turns his gaze slowly toward you, the silence stretching taut between them, charged with a jealousy he refuses to name but cannot ignore.
