(Death Note) - L X Reader Oneshots #3

Burden

(A/N): Didn't have a good title name. The other one I was gonna use would give the story away.

Yourself and L had been going out for quite some time now. Things were starting to get a little bit more serious. No more acting like little kids, it was time to act properly to this relationship and try to make it work.

You see, L had pretty bad relationship anxiety. Almost every mistake he made or any time he'd be on his own, he'd crumble like a leaf, thinking you were going to abandon him.

You always did your best to prove that you were never going to abandon him and that you would help him with anything he needed.

Sure, things were tough, but you were never going to give up on him. You wanted him to enjoy the moments you spent with each other.

L had always been working so hard as well which was bound to put more stress on him. So you decided you were going to do something nice for him.

It was your day off but you decided to come in to see L.

He was a little worried when he noticed you. He thought you had forgotten it was your day off.

"It's okay. I know I'm not supposed to come into taskforce today. But I wanted to see you and so I came" you smile at him.

L's heart fluttered and a bright smile came to his face. You'd risk spending your day doing things you liked, to be with him?

But after a while, his smile dropped.

"Don't you want to do more fun things than talk to me? You could be using this day to watch anime or anything else" he said.

You shook your head.

"I came here because I want to spend the day with you, outside of work. I thought we could maybe go on a date or something?"

L blushed some more.

"But...I have to work."

"Why don't you take a break today? Everyone deserves a break from time to time."

He gave you a small smile.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive! We can go wherever you want!"

"You mean it?"

"Of course! Let's go!" You grab his arm and pull him out of taskforce, before be even had the chance to decline.

"So, where do you wanna go?" You ask him.

"I feel like if I choose, you won't like it, or you'll find it boring and then I'll feel bad..." L looked at the ground.

"Hey! Listen here!"

You put your fingers under L's chin and lift it up so he was looking straight at you.

"You can take me to a bloody dumpster and I'd still enjoy myself, as long as I'm with you" you smile.

L's face went a crimson red and he turned away from you, with his hands to his face, to hide it.

"You shouldn't say things like that so out of the blue!" He says.

"What? I'm only telling the truth."

L looked back at you and you gave him a reassuring smile.

"So detective? Where are we going?"

L smiled back.

"There's this nature trail I used to go to with Watari when I was younger. It's been years since I last went there. I thought we could maybe go together, just so I could see it one more time and so you can see it for the first time!"
