A/N: This was an idea from an instagram photo. I can't tell whether he is in the closet in the photo or if he is just being introduced to new people at night with Watari so I'll make another oneshot where he sees us or something like that.

Today was fairly warm in England. The kids in the orphanage were playing outside on the playground. Yelling and laughing. A random kid crying on the hot ground with a bruise on their knee. Most of the kids were having fun while you were in the kitchen grabbing some left over eggs you didn't finish this morning to give to a random black cat you found near Wammy's gate. Of course, pets were forbidden, but you couldn't help yourself. The cat is so small and cute. It looked so hungry like it needed you to feed her. So here you were, looking around to make sure none of the adults were around to watch you sneak food to your room. Where you're keeping that cat.

You wandered down the hall to find a boy with baggy clothes oddly crouching in front of the 1000 piece puzzle he is solving. You didn't mind him because you knew that he knew about the cat. And he knows that you know he knows. It sounds complicated but both you seem to interact with only a few looks. It was an unusual bond you had with him. But was simple between you two. You especially knew he wouldn't snitch. So, you mostly expected yourself to get caught with the cat on your own at some point.

You quietly quietly walked up the stairs which led to your room. As soon as you opened the door to your room, you heard some faint scratching sounds on the door, which came through one ear to the next. You opened the door to watch your cat immediately squish through the crack of your door and dash straight down the stairs with you standing with a small container with your eggs in it. You placed your container on top of your drawer and chased your cat down the stairs.

As L was solving his puzzles, a cat landed on each piece with it's small little paws and dashed straight through. L sighed and watched some of the puzzle pieces slide away from the rest. He turned to the sound of your feet running down the stairs with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Your cat ran straight through my puzzles!" The boy whisper yelled at you to avoid the adults from listening.

You ignored his attitude and looked for nearby places the cat must have went to.

"She went over there." You whispered to yourself as you looked down and carefully sped walked your way to one of the classrooms to avoid stepping on the boy's puzzle pieces.

While you snuck into a classroom, the cat came out of the kitchen and approached the annoyed boy. He looked at the cat creepily with his disheveled hair and deep gray eyes in a crouched position. He rolled his eyes at the cat and looked around the hall to see if his puzzle pieces were scattered around the room. He had no choice but to approach the cat. For some odd reason, he didn't like the cat. It was perhaps the thought of how much germs it might have. Or... The probability it might scratch him. He had no idea where that cat had been, no wonder they're forbidden.

He looks at the cat dead in the eyes with his unsettling gaze before he grabbed the puzzle piece. He left the cat alone to continue with his puzzles. He felt the cat approach him and sit by him to watch him do puzzles. Suddenly the boy no longer minded the cat being near him. The cat was quiet and seems well behaved... To him, at least. It made him wonder what you did to make the cat run from you.

Speaking of the devil, you came out of the classroom and saw the cat with the boy. You found it rather cute that the cat seemed oddly calmer around the boy since you struggled to keep the cat in your room.

"Oh my gosh." You whispered in shock.

"I'm just as surprised as you are." He stated with a blank face before he could pet the cat. "It's soft."
