A little authors note before you read:
First of all, this is my first fanfic! So I came up with the idea of going through the actual story as it is, and that is mainly what this story is. Throughout the chapters, it's going through what actually happened in the anime, but you're a new character and the entire thing is in your perspective as L's personal assistant. So you'll be with him behind the scenes, and see everything from L's side, instead of Light's. And of course, i'm keeping L in character, but throughout time he develops feelings for you but doesn't exactly understand how he feels. He will slowly start to become more vibrant in emotion throughout the chapters ^-^ I will be adding and changing things here and there because the story will be different now that you're here. But what exactly will be different? That's for you to find out <3 Enjoy!
A nervous feeling emitted from inside you as you read the letter
The job you had accepted... was this really what you applied for?
You, out of all people, were accepted as an assistant to the worlds most mysterious detective... L.
You looked at the letter sent to you from an unknown address."Hello, (Y/N).
We're happy to have your help. I would like to congratulate you for being capable of this job, nonetheless be accepted into it. For further instructions I will be sending a limousine to your house address that will be sending you to my location. Once you arrive and get through security, go to room ## and do not enter inside until you are instructed to do so. l'll be looking forward to our meeting.
-L"
It was sketchy, but you were desperate for a job. This wouldn't get in the way of your studies, being one of the most intelligent people in your university. That was probably why you were requested for the job.
Everything about this was secretive, and it creeped you out just a bit. But hey, what was there to lose anyways? No friends, and not much family.You dressed in your best attire, and quietly waited for the car to arrive.
"Where are you headed to?" A unfriendly voice asked you from behind.
You turned and met eyes with your mother, a smoking cigarette hanging from her mouth.Looking down, you replied quietly
"My new job..."She walked up to you
"Look at me when i'm talking to you, brat!"
Your probably drunk mother slaps you across
the face, then puts out her burning cigarette out on the side of your cheek. The pain causes you to wince, but it wasn't anything you couldn't take.She throws it to the ground and stumbles back inside, not saying another word.
A tear manages to escape your eye, but you quickly wipe it away at the sight of the limousine arriving outside your home.
To your surprise, what you assume to be a man steps out of the vehicle as you slowly approach it. His face was completely covered, making this job even sketchier than before. But... you were dealing with L after all..
Wait..
"Ah, you must be (Y/N). Please, take a seat. I'll be the one to take you to your destination."
He says after opening the passenger seat door and bowing ever so slightly.After cautiously getting inside, you're overwhelmed by the sweet scent of sugar. Although you like it, you wouldn't expect that scent to exist in such a "fancy" car.
As soon as the car started to move, you had one question in mind.
"Are you-"
You attempted to ask but were soon interrupted by the driver
"L?" He chuckled "No, i'm afraid not. You'll get to see him soon enough, my dear."
„Oh... heh.." You awkwardly smile.
Looking out the window to the crowded city, you were thinking about the detective himself. You were curious about seeing L in person.
What does he look like?
Is he young or old?
Average or handsome?
"No... I shouldn't think like that.." You thought
Your thoughts had come to an end as you noticed the vehicle had stopped in front of a rather fancy hotel.
The extravagant building must be at least 16 stories high with a golden glow and a shining water fountain in front of it, not far from a small glowing pond.
It was a stunning sight, something you had never seen.
The man opened the door for you"After you." He said, bowing
You smiled and walked in, only to be greeted by a grand staircase and marble flooring.
It was truly magical to even be in place as beautiful as this.Now, this was it.
The moment you become face to face with L himself starts now.
You take the elevator (even though you wanted to walk up the stairs) up to L's floor.
It felt as if the higher floor you went, the more nervous you became.The elevator finally stopped on his floor, and you took a hesitant step out.
Everything was so nice and unfamiliar to you. Heck, even the carpet was fancy.Remembering the room number you were given, you walk until you now stand in front of the door that owns that number.
You start to slowly raise your fist to knock, but hesitate on the spot.
"What am I getting myself into...?" Was the question that kept playing in your head
You sighed, and lifted up your fist again until
"Come in." A velvet voice responded from inside the room
You paused. How could he have known you were out there?...
Nervously opening the door, you slowly walk in. The room itself was probably bigger than your house... and nicer..
"Close the door, please." You hear the males voice from another room
After closing the door behind you, you notice the same smell from the limousine.
The sweet, sugary scent was everywhere.You look down, not really knowing what else to do. Did this voice belong to L or another servant?
"I am L."
You look up to the presence of a skinny young man who had messy raven hair and a pale complexion with dark circles under his eyes. He was wearing a white sweater with baggy jeans.
He stood there, with his hands in his pockets and a blank expression.To be completely honest, he was not what you had expected L to be at all.
He walked up to you, his face was just inches away from yours.
With his wide eyes looking all around you, he spoke"So, you're (Y/N)?" He asked in a monotone voice
You nervously swallowed as you replied. Your hair was halfway covering both sides of your face.
"Y-Yes sir.."
His eyes scanned across your face, not once did he make any expression. It was like he was reading you.
