L LAWLIET X READER // ONE SHOT COLLECTION

Scared! L x Reader

You were peacefully reading in bed during a heavy thunderstorm, with the lights low waiting for L to get home from work. You always loved the sound of rain on the roof, as well as the booming thunder above your head. It was so calming and peaceful for you, and ever since you were little it was your absolute favourite type of weather.

"(y-y/n)? Are you in there?"

You hear L's voice call out, and you smile as you close your book.

"Yep, you're home early. How come?"

You ask as you shift over a little, looking towards the door.

"I um...I didn't want to be alone."

He says as he opens the door, and you immediately take notice that he was shaking.

"Huh? What's wrong? You're shaking."

He stays silent as he slowly walks over to your bed as lightning soundlessly strikes, illuminating the room for a split second. He looked completely petrified. You've never seen L in this state before, and you open your arms to him as your expression softens. Before he can take another step towards you the loudest thunder roar you've ever heard strikes, causing him to almost immediately rush into your grasp.

"Honey...Are you...Scared of thunderstorms? Come under the blankets with me."

You ask as you lovingly bring him closer, running your hand down his hair to comfort him as he gets under the sheets with you.

"I-It's so embarrassing...But it's been this way since I was very small. It's not that I want to be afraid of something as silly as this, it's..."

He mumbles as his shaking continues while smaller thunder noises rumble in the distance.

"No no...it's ok. I'm here for you. You don't have to explain how you feel. I understand."

You say as you give him a long and loving kiss on the top of his head. Sure, it came as a surprise that L was afraid of anything, let alone thunder, but the last thing you wanted to do was judge him.

"I'm glad you do. I used to be made fun of for this."

He says, and you give him a gentle squeeze as you feel sad that he was picked on because of something he couldn't even control. After a little silence as he just started to calm down and compose himself again, a sudden and extremely loud crack of thunder happens right over your head, causing you to instinctively bring your boyfriend in as close as you can.

"Are you alright?"

You ask as he holds to you for dear life, and he slowly nods as his shaking continues.

"Hey...look at me."

You ask as you gently cup his cheek, turning it towards you.

"It's ok, I promise."

You say before you bring your lips together, trying hard to be as gentle and loving as you could. His lips slightly trembled on yours for a few seconds, but he soon leans in and loosens his grip on you, obviously getting a little more relaxed. After a little while you pull apart, and he smiles softly as you give him another small peck on his cheek.
