(Death Note) - L X Reader Oneshots #3

Special

(A/N): Okay, this is the last of my Headcanons. After this one, I'll be trying out different things so yeah.

The Headcanon: Is constantly telling you how special you are, as he has never cared about anyone as much as you.

It appeared to be that time where L felt really stressed out and needed to relax a bit. The new case he was working on was certainly getting to him and you tried your best to help him out.

You woke up this morning and headed downstairs towards the kitchen to make breakfast, when you heard L let out a loud groan from the living room, indicating he was stressed and annoyed with all that's going on.

Instead of going to make breakfast, you decide to go and help L out. You made your way into the living room to find L sitting on the couch, facing the side, with his face deep in one of the cushions. You noticed his laptop was filled with files, you were surprised it hadn't crashed.

You sat down next to L and started to massage his shoulders, trying to calm him down a bit. He tensed up a little at your touch.

"Just relax sweetie", you say with a smile.

L let out a sigh.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just a little stressed out with everything that's going on. This case is tough, I have to protect you, there's a lot to do and time's running out", he said.

"You shouldn't stress yourself out so much. Why don't you let me help you out?"

"No! There's no way I'd let you get involved in this case! It's dangerous! You could die! And I can't let that happen!" L said.

You sigh and smile. He always says these things to you.

"Alright then, but you're working so much that you need to relax for a bit, okay?" you say still massaging his shoulders. "You can't really work in this state."

"Alright..." L sighed, turning to face you. He then wrapped his arms around you and two of you fell back onto the couch, L snuggling into you.

"I knew you needed rest. Just by looking at you, I knew how much this was getting to you", you say to him.

"Mmm hmm", was all that L said as he started to play with your hair.

It was silent for a moment before L smiled and looked up at you.

"What is it?" You smile back.

"I love you (Y/N)."

"I love you too", you reply with a giggle.

"No, but seriously you're so special."

You giggle again. You knew exactly where this was going.

"Are we having this conversation again?" You ask.

"You need to know how special you are (Y/N). You're always looking out for me and trying so hard to help me and make me feel better. No one has really done that before so I wasn't sure what to do the first time you helped me out with something. When you started helping me out so much, I started to feel different around you. It was a feeling I had never experienced before. That was when I knew that you were a special person and that I had to make sure you were safe. Then I realised that this feeling was called 'love' and it's a nice feeling. I've never felt anything like it. And it's all because of you (Y/N). Because you're so special."

"You're always telling me this", you giggle.

"It's true though. I've never...cared for anyone as much as I have with you. You've changed me a lot (Y/N) and I'm glad. Things would've been a lot more difficult and different if I didn't have you with me. So thank you."

L smiled that cute little smile at you which made your heart melt.

"God, every time you tell me all this, I have no idea how to respond!" You say.

"You don't have to say anything. You just need to understand and accept that I love you very much and I just want to keep you safe", L said, caressing your cheek.

You smile down at him and give him a gentle kiss which he kindly returned.

"I never thought someone like me could have someone like you", L said after you broke away.

"Stop it", you giggle, making L laugh a little too.

It was silent again as the two of you lay in each other's arms, just keeping each other company.

"Alright, I'm gonna make some breakfast now", you say to L after a while, only to get no response.

"L? Are you listening to me?"

You look down to see a sleeping L, his head buried in your side.

"I knew he'd eventually fall asleep", you say to yourself, before kissing his head and stroking his hair.

"Looks like I won't be having breakfast today."
