Gods and Monsters [Sequel to Ethereal] L x Reader • Death Note ✔️

Chapter 3 | the death note

No one knew what this was about, everyone just stood around waiting for the meeting to start. Well... stood and floated. Chatting amongst each other as you waited, you and L spoke to Aphrodite. Often called mama Aph by the younger gods, she was always the one who helped out and treated everyone like her kids.

"You have to let me see the boys soon, they've grown up so much!" Aphrodite said.

"I do want to see them again, hopefully some time in the next few days. I was going to today but this came up" L replied.

"They're such sweethearts, I'll always remember the time I was babysitting them, and brushing Nears hair. I told him he'd grow up to be as beautiful as a snow god with his hair and he replied 'no, I think Matt and Mello will grow up the be the beautiful ones'. I was so torn because it was so sweet but I also wanted him to feel beautiful too- gods that boy is such a darling" Aph rambled.

"He has always been a bit low in the self esteem, although it's definitely gotten better as he's grown up"

"Speaking of kids" you cut in, spotting your sleepy friend finally arrive with his son.

Hypnos was recently a father, having used his power to create inherited from his primordial mother to create the god of dreams, Morpheus.

The godling was the equivalent of a toddler now, but still so shy he barely spoke.

"Ahh! It's the tiny cloud baby!" Aphrodite smiled.

Understandably as she was a love goddess, she loved kids. It's was part of what she represented, the love mothers have for their babies.

"He's just like me, sleeps in all the time. Don't ya bud?" Hypnos replied.

The still drowsy godling nodded. Leaning against Hypnos chest snuggled up in his arms. Like his father he had wings on his head, although he had two unlike Hypnos who had one. Well... he ONCE had two but that's a long story.

Also like his father his hair was fluffy like a cloud, although a slightly darker tone akin to rain clouds. Hypnos hand crafted him an eye mask and silky pyjamas, which he was never seen without. Of course sleep and dreams incarnate would wear pyjamas and regular clothes.

"Is Than up there?" Hypnos asked, gesturing to the stage.

"Yeah, I saw him with Anubis a moment ago" you replied.

"Where the bloody hell as be been? He had me worried"

"So you don't know what's going on either?" Aphrodite asked.

Hypnos shook his head. Everyone was in the dark here, whatever the death alliance had been doing was kept under wraps until now.

"Dada, 'm tired..." Morpheus muttered.

"I know baby, you and I are always tired. You can nap when this is over ok?" Hypnos replied.

Morpheus kind of reminded L of when his successors were kids, always tuckered out from getting into trouble.

Finally, the meeting began as the death gods stepped onto the stage and shushed the crowd. The hall fell silent and everyone was ready for answers. Thanatos spoke first.

"As you know we've been gone a few days. Something has come up on the human realm, something all too familiar. There's no light way to put this, somehow another death note has been in circulation" He explained.

You and L just about got whiplash hearing that. How? How the fuck has a death note entered the human realm again? After all the security the shinigami were under?

"Excuse me..?" You muttered.

"Fuck, please don't tell me it's another Kira situation. I'll have a panic attack..." L sighed.
