Summary
"The man standing in front of him is an affront to humanity. Dark eyebags, hunched figure, crumpled T-shirt paired with blank eyes and pale skin.
The man—thing? —then shuffles forward. Light looks down and immediately regrets it. The thing’s barefoot toes squelch on the hardwood floor which Light had just taken the liberty to sweep. He vows to himself to never do any good deed for anyone ever again.
Smile, Yagami, the voice in his head says."
----
or: Light is a part-time barista, and L is his mysterious customer. They take an interest in each other.

Summary
The bell dinged. Light stretched a smile across his face, as far as it could go, and just when he was about to say “Welcome!” in his brightest, cheeriest voice ever, the word wilted on his tongue.
The customer was a weirdo. Not even half a weirdo, not even slightly a weirdo, he was just a full-on weirdo. Light’d seen many weirdos, of course—that was sort of a guarantee of the job. He’d seen drunken love confessions, a guy pissing right next to the entrance, another who purchased twelve cartons of a dozen eggs and proceeded to throw them all out of the car window when he drove away. And on one particularly memorable occasion at 10.37 pm on a Wednesday, a well-dressed businessman had grabbed Light’s wrist, looked him straight in the eyes, and said, “Be careful, boy. The devils in Hell know you, and they’re coming for you.”
Now, looking at the customer before his eyes, Light realised how true that last statement was.

or: Light, and L, and learning how to be perfectly normal.

Summary
He exhaled, going into the bathroom and locking the door behind him. Finally, finally, some peace and quiet—
“Hello,” a voice said from behind the shower curtain.
Light screamed, flinging himself away from the shower curtain.
“Don’t scream.” The voice sounded mildly annoyed, and a pale hand reached out and tugged the shower curtain open. “I don’t look that horrendous, I'm sure. And I'm definitely not as terrible as those people partying down there.”
Light stared at the person before him. He was curled up in the bathtub and looking quite content with the life choices he had made thus far, except he also looked like an anthropomorphic version of a raccoon whose main diet was derived from rummaging through countless dumpsters. The way this unknown person was hunched up in the bathtub was also reminiscent of a shrimp, and the sight made Light vaguely uncomfortable.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “I didn’t mean to scream, I was just…startled, I suppose. I wasn’t expecting someone to be up here…”

Summary
The other boy stared at him, and his gaze felt distinctly unsettling.
“You look like a serial killer.”
“...what?” If anything, Light looked more normal than the boy, and didn’t he know that that obviously isn’t something you can just say to people?
His watch beeped. His shift was up. Oh, dear God, he just wanted to go home.
“It’s always the normal ones, isn’t it? Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Dennis Nilsen…even Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.”
Light laughed. “You can’t be serious.”
“I also know that you’re very much on the verge of losing it—is it the end of your shift? It must be. And all you want to do is go home and sleep or study or whatever you do in your Normal Person Routine.” The boy grinned up at Light, frosting on his lip, and Light had the compulsive urge to wipe it away.
