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

Chapter 34 | retrive

Standing by the window, you stayed as silent as possible. You didn't want to alert Mikami, you were right outside his house. Next to you was Mello, and floating beside you was Hypnos. The goal? Get the book. Now you knew where it was, you just needed to get it. You didn't want to risk doing this while he was out of the house,  even though that seemed like the best option. If he came back unannounced you'd have zero time to clean up like nothing had happened.

But with the help of Hypnos, who could smack that bitch into a temporary coma, you could ensure he'd stay unaware of there being people in his house the whole time. So you'd perched by the window and waited, waited for him to get into bed. You didn't want it to be suspicious how fast he fell asleep, so you'd waited until he had dozed off before it was time to strike, that way he'd wake up and think he'd just had a real deep sleep that night, not that he'd been magically knocked out.

"Alright, how's a good time. You guys ready?" Hypnos asked.

"Yep, Mells?" You replied.

"Let's go" Mello added.

Mello was always you and L's first pick for field work, he was the most experienced in it and the most fit. He could make quick decisions, he could fight, run off if needed, sneak around very well. Matt was more of a tech guy, and Near a problem solver. Together they made an amazing team, and had long since surpassed the title of L. Mello was going to help you get the hook by cutting a hole in the wall right where it was, and once it was out, patching it up like there was never a hole there. Even going as far as to get the exact colour of paint on the walls to paint over it.

"I'll keep him subdued, let's get that death note" Hypnos said.

Peeking through the window, you could see Mikami dozed off in bed. Looming nearby was Shidoh who'd inevitably find this very entertaining. Hypnos merely snapped his fingers, and Mikami was locked in a deep sleep.  You could tell it worked because his body completely relaxed and fell limp. Now was the time.

"As long as I'm nearby he'll stay asleep. As soon as we leave he'll be back to normal. But stay quiet just in case" Hypnos explained.

"Got it" you replied.

Mello got to work, wedging the lock pick into the windows lock and breaking it open. Sliding the window up, you climbed in one by one.

"Ooohh shit. This just got interesting" Shidoh said, immediately noticing you.

"Shut up Shidoh we can't risk waking him" you whisper snapped.

Mello looked in the direction you were looking, although he couldn't see the shinigami yet.

"Oh shit, yeah... there's a shinigami here" he said.

"You'll see him as soon as you touch the book"

When Hypnos floated in, Shidoh's excitement just got bigger.

"Oh damn you even got Thanatos' twin in on this? No way he's waking up then. Don't you have a kid now?" He asked.

"I do, he's being babysat by my older brother. And I'd watch my back if I were you, Than is not pleased with you" Hypnos replied.

"Eh"

He really didn't care did he? Almost as apathetic as Ryuk. What was it with shinigami and not giving a shit about anything? The only one that seemed to care about people was well, Rem. As for Morpheus, it was Charon's turn to babysit tonight while Hypnos was helping you. The boatman of the styx wasn't a man of many words but he loved his brothers and his now nephew. He'd take Morpheus on river rides, let him wear his big witch hat and always slipped the child a few coins to buy treats with.
