Anxiety

Ugh. I had bought too many sweets today... but how could I not when they always disappeared so quickly in our household? Whereas ghosts would be the interesting explanation for the disappearance of things in other houses, in our home, it was simply L...

After a day of not seeing him, I could not wait to finally see his gentle smile and hear his comforting voice again.

"L? Are you home?"

No answer.

As I placed the bags on the floor and entered our living room, I could see L slouching by the windows with his arms wrapped around his legs- he had closed the windows with the shutters, only allowing a few rays of light to eluminate his face.

"L...?"

No reaction.
Oh no. Don't let this happen again.

He must have been outside again, and that for a long time.

L would hardly leave our apartment or whatever hotel we had been working in on other cases, but very rarely, he would have to go outside for a while to get cake, for instance. Even though I told him we could bake some together, he wanted to get some cake sometimes- he negated the idea of making some himself since we were always using my recipe for his favourite cake, which he stirred up a little on his own. Sometimes he did not even let Watari know he needed something, L would simply go out by himself at times. I always tried to do as much as possible outside because I knew about his social anxiety, but when I had something important to do, L would take care of it himself.

This isn't the first time it happened. Staying outside for a while usually didn't bother L much. Even being among many people didn't pose a problem to him if it was only for a limited time. But if the amount of people and time would increase it would sometimes get too much to him, and when he'd get home, he would mentally panic a little and fall into a dissociative state.

"Oh, L, honey..."

I approached him carefully. L finally seemed to notice me, albeit turning back to the windows again. I kneeled down and wrapped my arms around him.

"I'm sorry I was gone for so long. Please don't go outside if it uneases you, L! I worry about you, I just want you to be alright!"
I gently ran my hands through his raven hair.

"Just know that I love you. I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you."

"I am sorry. It is my fault I decided to stay outside for so long. We both know this isn't the first time it happened, I take responsibility in this situation."

"L, no, it is not your fault people are too much for you to handle sometimes, I often feel the same.
Do you think you will feel better if I give you a kiss?", I started to distract him.

L let go of me to look at my face.
"You would do that?"

I giggled. L looked so surprised even though we had been together for so long.

"Of course I would! Here", I cupped his face and planted a gentle kiss on his lips.
"Better?"

L nodded blushingly, his face so surprised as if it had been his first kiss.
I guess his reaction about that will never change...

"Do you want to have some cake?"

"Yes, I brought some from the bakery in Shibuya"

"Oh! Strawberry and chocolate..?"
L nodded with a small smile on his face.

"Come here", I stood up and pulled him up by his hands, looking up to him.

"I love you! I'm going to take care of you now, and there is nothing you can do about it!"

L giggled.
"I am already feeling a lot better now that you are here. But thank you."

"First of all, you're going to stay like this...", I led him to our bed, sat him down and wrapped him into multiple, fluffy blankets, leaving him look as if he was hiding in them.
So cute.

"Like this?"

"Mhm! Now I'll get us some hot chocolate and cake! Sounds good?"

L nodded adorably before speaking in a faint and somewhat shy voice. "Thank you for always taking care of me..."
