Misa Amane pouts up at (Y/n) Yagami, clinging to the latter's arm with every bit of stubbornness the blonde has within her. "Stay a little longer," she whines, propping her chin up on (Y/n)'s shoulder and batting her eyelashes for added effect.
Huffing a laugh under her breath, (Y/n) shakes her head in amusement. "It's getting late, Misa," she points out, holding up her free arm to show the dial of her watch. "I have to get home before it gets even later."
"Or, you could stay the night?" Misa offers, tilting her head to get a better look at (Y/n)'s face. "We rarely get to meet! I just want to spend more time with my most favorite person in the world. Is that so bad?"
(Y/n)'s eyes narrow. "Are you trying to guilt-trip me?"
"Is it working?" Misa perks up hopefully.
The elder woman's abrupt snort has the blonde deflating instantly, however, and the pout returns full force, leaving (Y/n) to smile at her younger companion fondly. "If you let me stay for breakfast tomorrow, I'll say it's working," the profiler offers finally, giving in.
Gasping, Misa pulls back, clapping her hands together. "Really?"
"Sure." (Y/n) grins, laughing when the younger blonde immediately starts bodily dragging her back into her suite, chattering excitedly about sleepovers. Silently, (Y/n) thanks her sense of foresight for the sweatpants she had brought with her, suspecting Misa might try to pull something of this nature from the instance the blonde called her to let her know she would be in town for a week or two because of work.
"I'll let you stay till lunch if you want," Misa calls over shoulder, laughter around her words as she leads them to the sofa. "In fact, why don't you just stay with me all day tomorrow as well?"
(Y/n) hums, smiling slightly as Misa begins the herculean task of wrapping the both of them up in a cocoon of blankets without disturbing her position against Y/n)'s side too much. "I have work too, you know, Misa," she points out when the blonde settles in peacefully, keeping her voice soft because she knows Misa will be disappointed. "I only got today off, but I can't stay home tomorrow too."
Misa frowns, dropping her head into the crook of (Y/n)'s neck unceremoniously and wrapping her arms around the other woman's waist. "Boo," she drawls out, surprisingly undeterred by the effort it takes to be able to hook her leg around (Y/n)'s in their current position. "When will you have a 'Bring Your Girlfriend to Work' day? I wanna have a quick chat with your bosses."
With a long sigh, (Y/n) pulls the blonde closer and onto her lap, stroking her hair because she knows Misa likes it. "I'm sure the other agents' significant others will join you if you decide to storm the FBI," she offers, "but they'll probably chuck me out for endangering my boss's life like that."
Giggling, Misa relaxes against her girlfriend. "If they do that, I'll hire you as my assistant."
Eyebrows rising, (Y/n) pokes the blonde's side. "An affair with your assistant? That's scandalous, Misa Amane."
The model lifts her head to smirk at (Y/n) smugly. "Nothing more scandalous than stuff we've already done, Agent Yagami."
Tilting her head in consideration, (Y/n) shrugs. "True that," she concedes. "Not the first time I'd have done less than professional things with my colleagues."
Misa straightens, face lighting up. "Oh, yeah! You totally had a thing with that L guy during the Kira case, didn't you?"
They don't often bring up the case unless they absolutely have to. The Kira case is an unpleasant bit of history for both Misa and (Y/n), and though they've moved on considerably in the year and a half since Light's arrest, they still skirt around the subject of what brought them together in the first place.
Their relationship hadn't been something (Y/n) had seen coming. She'd liked Misa well enough when the case was still ongoing, but it was in the aftermath of Light's arrest that she really got to know the blonde on a more intimate level. Something about their shared knowledge of the untold truth of the case and the trauma of what they'd done in order to survive the ordeal kept them tied to each other until things weren't all that platonic anymore and she only had to accept it.
Being with a woman could prove to be detrimental enough to Misa's career given the kind of society they live in, unfortunately. She had barely been able to keep a hold of her success after her identity as the second Kira came to light, having played the victim card since it was revealed to the public that Light Yagami was controlling her with the help of his Death Note. If it is found out that Misa Amane is dating Kira's elder sister in the aftermath of that shitstorm, it could easily tear apart the fragile platform she has barely managed to reconstruct in order to keep her position in the entertainment industry.
Secret relationships aren't a new thing to Misa by any standards, but it's frustrating when she wants the world to know how in love she is with (Y/n) and just how much of an amazing woman Misa gets to claim as her own. It isn't fair that she has to keep her love a secret like she's ashamed of it or something when Misa is so proud of her girlfriend.
They helped each other move on from arguably the worst time in both their lives, and they rebuilt their lives together, and Misa can't imagine how hard it would've been to move on if (Y/n) hadn't been there for her.
It still isn't easy, of course. Loving someone is difficult when you know you're likely to lose them a lot sooner than you think. Misa did trade half her lifespan for her Shinigami eyes, after all. No matter how much they'd like to, neither can undo that. All they can do is accept that they might only have a short amount of time left, since neither knows when Misa is set to die.
But, until then, (Y/n) can hope to love Misa for as long as she is allowed to.
"What are you thinking about?" Misa asks, voice uncharacteristically soft as she peers up at her lover.
(Y/n) sighs, letting the blonde play with her earlobes. The profiler considers her girlfriend for a moment before letting an easy smile settle on her face, deciding that it isn't the kind of night of deep, scary conversations about the fleeting nature of life and love. "I'm thinking about whatever you're thinking about."
Her words elicit a giggle from Misa. The blonde shifts so she's straddling (Y/n), tucking the latter's hair behind her ears so she can see her face clearly. Humming, she leans down to press a long, meaningful kiss to (Y/n)'s lips. "Well, I am thinking that I really wanna sleep, but I also don't want to waste the time I have with my lovely girlfriend."
"How sweet," (Y/n) drawls. "If you want me to cuddle you then just say so, Misa."
Grinning dreamily, Misa drapes her arms over the other woman's shoulders. "You know me so well." Something seems to occur to Misa and she straightens with a delighted smile on her face. "Think you can carry me to bed?"
(Y/n) snorts. "Unfortunately, my dear, I have no upper body strength."
Eyes narrowing, Misa pouts. "Are you sure it's not because I've gained weight?" she poses. "Because I've been feeling kind of pudgy lately. Look at how full my cheeks are!"
By now, (Y/n) has become completely used to how much energy Misa always seems to have a reserve of. She can play along easily on most days now, though the effect is often lost since they usually can only talk over the phone.
But right now, she doesn't have to worry about the ocean in between them. (Y/n) is free to take her girlfriend's face in her hands and squish her cheeks. "What's wrong with that?" she demands. "I love your cheeks. Look at how cute you are."
"Really?" Misa asks, although it's a bit of a task when her face is being squished without mercy. "You don't think I'm fat?"
(Y/n) hums, quickly pecking the blonde's lips. "I think you're beautiful, and I've missed your face."
Sighing, Misa slumps, mouth turned upwards in a small, appreciative smile. "You know you're perfect and I'm totally in love with you, right?"
"I try," (Y/n) replies, eyebrows raised in amusement. "Now, you said something about cuddling?"
"Yes!"
AN:- Unapologetic fluff because I wanted to give Misa some happy loving. Reader is versatile lover, I think. She'd adapt quickly so I think she could work with Misa too, even though I created her to compliment L.
Happy Pride Month!
