(Death Note) - L X Reader Oneshots #3

Dreamer

(A/N): Random question for all you guys but if you had to choose a favourite L X Reader oneshot of mine from each book I have made, which are your favourites? I mean from my first oneshot book, my second oneshot book and my third oneshot book that I am working on now aka this one! I'd love to hear your opinions! If there's any that has a lot of votes, I can try and do some art related to it. Yes, I'd even do a smut one if a lot of people say it's their favourite but I don't know how well it would turn out. How does that sound? Thanks for the support! ^^

"And then, the boy reunited with his mother and became happy again. He never had to live in fear ever again. The girl was really helpful to him so the boy offered to let her stay with him and his mother forever and she agreed and they all lived happily ever after..."

You closed the book you were reading to L and held it close to your chest.

"I love this story so much" you say. "What do you think L?"

He remained silent and pulled the covers over him as he rolled onto his side on the bed he was laying on.

You frowned. L wasn't very fond of that story.

"Hey L?"

"What?"

"Have you ever wanted to escape this orphanage and be free like the characters in the books?"

That was something that caught L's attention. He sat up.

"What are you talking about?"

"Well...You know how much I love reading, and the books I read all have really interesting stories. People go on wild adventures, meet new people, discover new things and start a new chapter in their lives! And it's all by going outside!"

You stare out the window in your room and put a hand to the class, watching snow fall down slowly.

"Don't you want that? Don't you want to experience fun things by going outdoors?" You turn to look at L who sighed.

"You know we can't leave this place (Y/N)..." he said. "Wammy's House is an orphanage for gifted children in hopes of getting them to become the next L, so it's hidden from other public places. Also, we'd most likely get caught trying to escape. And even if we managed to get out, we'd only get so far. We're only 10 years old after all."

"But you're now known as the best detective ever! Although you're very young, you started working on cases when you were only 7! You're bound to have loads of money so we can get out of here and start our new lives!" You say excitedly.

"You don't understand (Y/N). Being a very good detective is very risky. People all over the world now know about L. Some people want to track me down and challenge me. Some people even want to kill me and take my identity, so I can't leave this place because I can't afford my identity to be leaked to the public" L stated.

"But...No one knows what you really look like! It'll be fine!"

You reach out to take L's hand but he smacks it away.

"CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE?!" L shouts, making you anxious.

"I'm not leaving this place. Not now. It's too dangerous to go anywhere. I don't want my identity to accidentally get leaked out. Besides, if we leave, the orphanage will easily track us down and find us again. That is another risk. We can't have the general public know about Wammy's House. And...I like staying here, don't you (Y/N)?"

L looked at you and smiled.

"Well yeah. Wammy's House is nice, but I just don't like sitting around doing nothing all the time. I wanna chase my dreams you know? Just like the characters in the books I read!"
