Death Gods Only Eat Apples

[.chasm.]

Matt grinned again, walking into the main room in front of Aya. He glanced over at the sofa, then started to walk towards it.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura jumped up, rushing over to Matt. "Mattella! Feel my stomach!" she told him, grabbing his hand and putting it over the spot where the baby was kicking.

 

[.chasm.]

"Wow, what?" Matt asked, caught completely off guard. He frowned slightly as his hands were pulled, then his eyes widened. "Oh, the baby's kicking?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura smiled broadly, nodding. "Yeah!"

 

[.chasm.]

"That's awesome," Matt said, grinning. He stepped backwards, letting his arms drop again and taking Aya's hand.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura saw Matt take Aya's hand and grinned. "So, you two are together now?"

Aya looked over at Matt, smiling slightly. "Yeah,"

 

[.chasm.]

Matt nodded at Sakura, grinning. "We are."

L stood up and walked towards the kitchen, carrying an empty plate. "It's safe to sit next to me again, Tala."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura smirked at Matt, mouthing 'I told you.' She watched L as he walked toward the kitchen. "Good to know," she said, walking over to her usual seat next to him.

 

[.chasm.]

Matt rolled his eyes, still smiling, and mouthed, "Shut up."

L returned from the kitchen a few minutes later, carrying a cup of tea and staring down at it with a frown.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura plopped down, tilting her head at L as he entered. "What's that?" she asked, pointing to his cup.

 

[.chasm.]

"Tea," L muttered, climbing onto his chair and placing the cup on the desk. "Aren't you going to find Matsuda and Misa as well?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura shook her head instantly. "No, they'd be all over me. They'd probably act like five year olds and scream, jump, follow me around, and whatnot."

 

[.chasm.]

"Oh." L fell silent for a few minutes, stirring his tea, then looked up again. "Is the baby still kicking?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura looked down at her stomach, putting her hand on it. "Yeah, but not as strongly as before."

 

[.chasm.]

L nodded, lifting his cup. "You won't enjoy it so much soon."

 

[nokotchi]

"I'm sure that, as time goes on, I won't." Sakura replied, frowning slightly.

 

[.chasm.]

"Especially not when you get kicked in the ribs or the spine," L said, taking a sip of the tea and then placing his cup back down.

 

[nokotchi]

"How can you be sure that she'll kick me in those places?" Sakura asked, sitting back.

 

[.chasm.]

"Because all babies d-" L cut off, turning to stare at Sakura. "Why are you so sure that it's a girl?"

 

[nokotchi]

"I'M SURE BECAUSE ALEX SCREWED UP AND TYPED 'SHE' I don't know, I just ended up saying 'she'." Sakura replied, shrugging.
