Case File: L Lawliet ? L Lawliet x Reader

Chapter 4 | Cold nights

"I thought so. There was a lot of sketchy stuff surrounding him"

"What about that case you finished a few days ago? Are the victims safe?"

"Yep, they're both in hospital and the kidnapper is going to court next week"

"I knew you could do it"

You smiled and finally reached the swings.

You sat on one and L sat on the other, gently rocking back and fourth.

"L, is there any other reason you picked me? I know you, and I can't see any reason you'd pick me other than I have experience" you asked.

It was silent for a moment.

"To be completely honest, I've always found you very interesting... ever since I met you"

"Why?"

"I-I don't know... you're the case I've never been able to solve"

So he was having the same problem. Although he probably wasn't keeping a whole file on you.

It seems L found you interesting in the same way you found him interesting... and neither of you could figure out why...

"It first I thought it was just the fact I'd never had a friend before... but as the years went by I still couldn't figure it out because the feeling of curiosity was still there. There's something about you (y/n), I don't know what it is, or even what it means, but I'll figure it out one day" he explained.

"You know... I've felt like that too..."

"Huh?"

You thought for a moment on how to phrase it.

"I've always found you interesting, but never known why, or how to figure it out. You're like a lockable journal. Without that key I can't read you" you explained.

"I suppose that's a good way to put my feelings too"

"The thing is, we've told each other almost everything. The only acceptations being personal things that shouldn't be told to anyone. So I don't know what else there is to find out"

It was silent for a moment.

"I think I want to investigate you" he said.

"What do you mean?"

"I want to spend more time with you, until I figure out why you're so interesting. It would benefit both of us"

"I suppose it would"

"How should this be conducted though?" He asked.

"I'm not sure, I'm down for an investigation. But what a good way to do it?"

It was silent as you both tried to think of something.

"Let's handcuff ourselves together"

"Lets what-"

"If we're forced to be together 24/7, then we're forced to become more comfortable then we already are with each other, the more comfortable we are, the more we open up, then we find out what's making us so intrigued with each other" he explained.

"That's... actually not a bad idea. We'd have to set up all my computers in your room though, and we'd need to figure out sleeping arrangements"

"That can be done"

"Ok, let's do it. We'll start tomorrow?"

"Done"

"Sounds good, although we should probably go home and get sleep so we can move things around tomorrow" you said.

"I suppose you're right"

You both got up and slowly started to walk back to the orphanage.

"Fuck me it's cold" you said, adjusting your scarf.

"Is about 3 degrees (C), so that's probably why" L replied.

"Maybe we should have stayed in, I hope you don't get sick, you're not even wearing a jacket"

"I'll be fine, we've done this before"

You took off your scarf and wrapped it around his neck.

"I worry about you" you said.

He stayed silent for a moment.

"T-thanks"
