RECONNECTED // L. Lawliet x Reader ((COMPLETED))

Chapter 9

You stood there for a few moments after Mei took her leave, unsure of what to do now that you were stranded alone with L.

"Well then..."

You hear him finally say, breaking the awkward silence with an even more awkward remark. Another small quietness hung in the air, and you shift your stance a little bit as L looks over towards you.

"I-uh... You know you didn't have to stay here with me. You'll probably going to catch whatever I have."

You manage to stammer as you bring your hand over to your elbow.

"Yes I did have to. Besides, I haven't gotten a cold in years. And I wanted to spend time with you anyways, if you're not feeling well then so be it."

You feel flattered as he finishes his sentence, and you look away smiling as you shift the blanket on your shoulders.

"God, it must be all that sugar you eat. You're always so sweet all the time."

You giggle, and he smiles back as he looks over towards you.

"Well, like I said before, you might be getting special treatment."

He says as he takes a step closer to you. You respond by laughing a little, and you teeter on your heels as you look back towards your kitchen.

"So, you want some tea or something since you're here?"

You ask as you let your eyes wander back to his.

"Yes thank you, but you're sick. Let me prepare it for myself, you go relax."

You feel your cheeks get a little warm, and you just nod as you wander over to the couch and curl up into a little ball while you turn on the tv at a low volume. Mei had left it on the news channel from last night, and you watch for a little bit before you switch to cartoons, oddly interested to see what was in the latest reports.

"In other news, various criminals lately have been dropping dead one after the other. Some are speculating that it might be god taking his vengeance on those who commit crime, others are saying that it is someone or something with supernatural powers who is trying to rid the world of wrong doers. The reason for people saying this is they all have one thing in common. The victims all die of heart attacks. What makes this story even stranger is that they die like clockwork, all during the day, none during the night. This has struck up quite an uproar on social networks and medias for the little time it's been known, and the people have deemed the mystery entity "Kira" for the similar English word for "Killer". Nobody knows what or who this person or thing is, but the question is: is what they're doing right?

That's all for now, We'll have more news on this developing story at eleven."

You sit there confused as you try and wrap your head around what that report even was, but get snapped from thought as you feel the other side of the couch compress slightly as L sits next to you.

"Well, what was on the news today?"

He asks as he takes a small sip of tea.

"It was...really weird. Apparently a bunch of criminals are dying one after another all from heart attacks. People are saying it's either God or someone with supernatural powers."
