(A/N): Another simple one cause why not?

You honestly felt awful today. Nothing was going right and you just couldn't be bothered with anything anymore.

You were in the middle of doing a drawing at the time but you just didn't feel like finishing it. You ended up throwing it in the bin.

You let out a loud sigh and rested your head on your desk.

It was late and you were tired, but you didn't quite feel like sleeping just yet.

Soon enough, your phone started ringing.

"Hello?" You say upon answering it.

"Hello there (Y/N). How are you doing today?"

It was L. Your best friend and the one who really helped you out whenever you needed him. You could really rely on L.

"Honestly, I feel awful. Everything is going wrong and I don't know what to do right now" you say to him.

"Aww don't worry (Y/N). It's just one bad day. I'm sure everything will be a lot better tomorrow" L replied.

"I don't know about that" you sigh.

"How about I come over and check up on you? You could be needing a shoulder to cry on" L stated.

"Nah, it's cool. I'll be fine...I think..."

"Too late. I'm already at your house."

"Wh-Wha-?"

Knock knock

Yeah, L didn't live that far away from you so he was always there very quickly whenever he wanted to come over or if you needed anything.

You got up and answered the door.

"Hello (Y/N). Are you okay?"

"A bit of a stupid question" you reply.

"Yeah you're right...Can I come in?"

You gesture for L to come inside and you wander off into your room. L follows behind you.

"So what exactly is wrong (Y/N)?" L asked as he sat on your bed while you sat back at your desk.

"Everything!"

"...Could you be more specific?"

You sigh.

"Nothing is going right today! I got into an argument with my best friend and now they're not talking to me at the moment, my dad left my mum, and I can't even draw a simple cartoon anymore. My art style has died. What is happening today?"

You rest your head on the desk as tears fall down your face.

"Don't worry (Y/N). Everything will be fi-"

"Bad things always happen to me! It doesn't matter what day it is because it never stops! One day after another, pain and suffering comes my way and I get tired, stressed and sick! And now I'm scared! My friend won't talk to me, so they've probably left me! What next?! You'll probably leave me too L! It wouldn't surprise me. Everything bad happens to me. It's like I deserve it!"

You then began fully sobbing on your desk.

"Please don't cry (Y/N)!" L stood up and rushed over to you, wrapping his arms around you. You return his hug and let your tears soak through his shirt.

"I just don't know why these things happen to me! I just want it all to go away!" You shout.

"I know (Y/N), believe me I do. And unfortunately, I don't have the answers to your questions. I may be the world's greatest detective, but when it comes down to these things, I don't understand myself. But just so you know, I'll never leave you (Y/N)! I wouldn't even think of it" L said, bringing you closer.

"I'm sorry you have to see me like this..." you say sitting up and wiping your eyes.

"It's alright. It's normal to feel this way. I understand (Y/N)" L says, smiling.

"Thank you for being there for me when no one else is" you reply.

"I'll always be there for you (Y/N). As I said, I'll never leave you alone. You're far too special for me to leave you."

L's words made your cheeks heat up a little. He seemed more...close than usual, it was a little strange and different from L. Normally L just hugs you and tells you everything is gonna be okay, but today he seems to be going into more debt about making you feel better.

"Oh...sorry" you say again as you feel more tears fall back down your face.
"I guess I just can't stop the tears falling."

"Don't worry (Y/N). It's fine. Everyone cries. Even me sometimes" L said, wiping away your tears with his sleeve.

"Really? You cry too? I've never seen you cry before. Not that I want to! It's just...you never seem like the sort of person to cry" you say, a little surprised.

"Of course I do. I'm human, just like everyone else, crying is physically possible for me to do" L stated.

"I guess so..."

"But that's besides the point. This is about you (Y/N). You're the one that's sad and crying right now. But it's like that one song: "Even when you cry, you are beautiful too" L said, taking a hold of your hand.

You look at L, in surprise, who was smiling at you. Like, genuinely. It wasn't often you saw L like this.

"W-Wow...Um thanks?" You giggle a little whilst looking down at your hand that was held in L's, blushing more.

"There you go. You're smiling. That's something I like to see" L said, his grip tightening on your hand.

"What's gotten into you today?" You ask him out of curiosity.

"What do you mean?" He tilted his head in confusion.

"It's just...you seem to be going into a lot more debt about making me feel better."

"I don't quite understand (Y/N)" L said.

"Well, normally whenever your comforting me, you just hug me and tell me everything will be okay. But today, you're wiping away my tears, you said I was special to you, and you pretty much just called me beautiful. Am I missing something here?"

"Well, you are special to me (Y/N). And you are very beautiful. You're the most important thing in my life and I want to keep you safe" L said, putting a hand to your cheek.

"Wh-What? I...I don't know what to say!" You look at the ground in embarrassment.

"Well, I think I do. I'm a little scared to say it, but I think it's time to say it."

"What is it?"

L took a deep breath.

"I love you (Y/N)."

Your eyes widened.

"...A-Are you serious?"

"Yes. Very."

There was silence for a moment as you let that sink in.

"M-Me? You're in love with me...?" You whisper.

"That's right. Would I lie to you (Y/N)?"

"I-I'm at a loss for words here" you nervously laugh.

"Well...you're taking this a lot better than I expected" L laughed.

"I'm just surprised...Just...why me?"

"Well, you're smart, talented and very beautiful. You're always looking out for other people which is a hard trait to find in people nowadays. You're always there for me when I need help and now I've just grown so fond of you and I just want to keep you safe now" L stated.

You were quite surprised that L felt this way towards you.

You looked back down at your hand that was still held tightly in L's.

"Y-You don't have to say yes to my confession. I just wanted you to know how I feel" L said, quietly.

It was silent again as L looked away in embarrassment, waiting for a response.

"Well...I've actually had a crush on you too..." you reply with a small smile.

"Really?!" L's attention was drawn back to you.

You look back at him and nod.

L smiled back at you.

"So...is that a yes?"

"Of course it is, dummy" you giggle.

L let out a sigh of relief and laughed a little too.

"...So..."

"You don't need to ask."

You then lean in and kiss his lips. He settled into it quickly, all his bottled up feelings towards you pouring into the kiss.

As you slowly pulled away, L brought his hand up and slowly brushed a few strands of your hair behind your ear before holding your cheek.

"Now it has become my mission to protect you now (Y/N)" he said. "I love you."

"I love you too."

(A/N): Didn't know how to end this, god dammit.
