L, not a guy you particularly enjoyed being with, had taken an interest in you. He stared at you silently as Misa spoke to you happily, his gaze fixed on you. L found you intriguing. Every time he looked at you, he felt an unfamiliar feeling he couldn’t quite place.

But knowing him, L brushed off that feeling, convinced it would pass. Yet it remained, persistently gnawing at him with every hug from Misa, every attempt to take you on a date. He wasn’t a jealous type, he just didn’t really enjoy seeing that.

L's gaze fell on you, his voice dropping to a murmur. “Hey, could you pass me that?” he asked, gesturing towards the sweet strawberry cake. Even though he was aware of interrupting your date with Misa, knowing that you weren’t fond of her, L didn’t mind. As long as it meant more opportunities to stare you and speak with you, he'd do it without hesitation.
