We Survived, Didn't We? (L x male reader)

Night

   We arrived at our apartment again, only this time, the mood was somber and sad.

"Lawliet, I'm going to bed," I told him as I walked to the bedroom.
"Goodnight, Y/N." He turned back to his computer without another word.

I closed the door as I changed into some oversized pajamas and laid on the bed. I didn't close my eyes. I didn't sleep. I didn't think. I just laid there, doing nothing.

After some time, it was dark. I didn't know how long it took, but I eventually fell asleep.

                         ~later~

I woke up to the sound of rustling blankets. I looked outside. It was still dark. L wouldn't wake me up yet.

So who was getting into bed with me?

My breathing quickened at the thought of an unknown person climbing into my bed. I heard the rustle of blankets, closer to me now. I was panicking now. I was frozen in my fear. Then I heard a voice. L's voice.

"Y/N, it's alright. It's just me," Lawliet comforted.
"Lawliet? What are you doing?" I asked.
"Y/N, don't worry. I just thought I'd join you after such a rough day. You need some company, I'm sure. I didn't mean to wake you."
"It's alright."

He crawled into bed beside me, and laid there, staring at the ceiling, unmoving. It wasn't the worst thing, although there could've been better things to happen in bed with your crush.

Soon I turned over to see him sleeping soundly next to me. He looked peaceful, like he was at ease for once. The feeling of the moment overwhelmed me, and I moved closer to him, draping my arm over his chest in a gentle hug.

I quickly fell asleep after that.

~in the morning~

The harsh rays of morning sun jutted through the window, waking me with heated light.

I opened my eyes to see a wide eyed Lawliet looking at me.

I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep to hear his reaction.

"Y/N," he whispered.

I felt him move, turning towards me. He wrapped his arm around me in a warm embrace.

"Of all the people I've met, dear Y/N, I believe that your my favorite. No, you are 100% better than any person I've ever met. I simply wish I had the courage to tell you so when you're awake," he said, a little louder now.

Tears pricked my eyes at the kind words from Lawliet. I wanted so badly to tell him that I was awake, and to give him a kiss. I couldn't though. I couldn't make it awkward like that.

So I continued to lay there in a false sleep. I continued to ponder the words he said.

Did he mean it in a friend way?
Or did he mean romantically?

I guess I won't know until I tell him how I feel.

Until I tell him how I feel.

That probably won't be for a long time.
But.... It's best to plan ahead.

(So so sorry for not posting!! I've been really busy, my aunt and baby cousin just moved in and I'm trying to adjust. I've been trying to post but it's a little hard. I've been switching between fics so my next chapter will be on my Dabi fic!)
