(Death Note) - L X Reader Oneshots #3

Forever Forced (Part 2)

"What's going on...?" Misa asked, looking around, taking in the surroundings of the situation at hand.

"We're closed, I'm afraid" I try to get the other two out of the shop.

"So, is this why you haven't been at the taskforce, L?" Matsuda asked.

"Do not use that name in here!" L panicked.

You glance back at him, nervous for what he might say or do.

But he relaxed.

"As (Y/N) said, we're closed now. So please, if you could excuse us, we have to clean the place up."

"I wanna know why!" Misa shouts.
"Why did you abandon your name?!"

L didn't answer. He didn't want them to know why he left the L name.

"I'm sure your decision was very reasonable" Matsuda said.
"Misa, we should leave. Let's grab coffee somewhere else."

Matsuda tried to take Misa out to avoid any commotion, but Misa wanted answers.

"Look, have consideration for how Ryuzaki feels. You don't understand how hard it was for him to make his decision" you state.

"(Y/N)'s right. It was certainly not easy."

"Misa, let's go" Matsuda said, getting nervous.

Misa gave the two of us a serious look before turning around to the door.

"You're gonna get labelled as the worst L, y'know? You really are gonna seem like a quitter. Leaving a case while the criminals are taking over...It seems selfish. Better watch out before Kira kills you for being a quitter. We wouldn't want that now, won't we?" Misa shook her head and walked out with Matsuda.

You and L stood there, taking everything in and listening to the sound of the bell, at the top of the door, ring out till it faded.

Silence.

"...(Y/N)-"

"I know exactly what you're thinking right now, L-I mean, Ryuzaki."

"(Y/N), she can't ever tell anyone at taskforce. Or simply anyone for that matter! What am I gonna do? I don't have any of that power anymore. My successor does..."

"Don't panic. I'll figure something out" you say to him.

"How? Misa is a gossip girl! She likes to, and I quote: 'spill the tea.' She's gonna tell everyone..."

"Not if I can do something about it!"

"What are you suggesting...?" L looked nervous.

"I'll find a way to stop her from spreading anything!"

"Please don't use any brute force on her, (Y/N). I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me! And I don't want you to get in trouble! I don't have the power to help anyone anymore..."

"Hey, don't you worry about anything" you say, walking over to him and stroking his hair.
"Everything will be fine. I'll sort it. I promise."

L tried to smile, but it seemed his emotions took over and he just looked more and more nervous.
You hadn't seen L express his emotions so much before. Suppose being the world's greatest detective, you have to put these kind of things aside. You don't have time for them.

But now...

"This is all because I'm so weak..."

"Excuse me. I won't have any of that negativity in this coffee shop!" You say, putting your hands on his shoulders.
"Just leave it to me! I won't let you down!"
