L Lawliet x Reader Oneshots 3 // Series 2 • Death Note [COMPLETED]

New life part 2

"Woah, Nigeru"

You turned away from your laptop to face L. Yes L, turns out Ryuzaki was actually L. You accepted his offer, and the next day you were bought in to start work as a translator for the Kira taskforce. It's been a few months now and you were honestly having fun despite there being a serial killer on the loose.

L beckoned you over and you looked over his shoulder at an article on the screen.

Missing girl, 23, still not found. The search continues without a trace.

Below was a picture of you. Looks like you'd been reported missing after you left... you didn't care. You were happy now. Your old life wasn't your good one.

"Do you want me to take it down? Your real name is in it" L asked.

"Oh god yes, get rid of it" you replied.

"(Y/n) huh? Not bad. I won't tell"

"Thank you"

Going back to your laptop, you finish up your current translation and L took the article down with ease. You didn't miss anyone back in your old life, they were part of the problem. You were happy here, in Japan, with L. I'm fact, you'd fallen pretty hard for him, what you wouldn't give to go cuddle in an empty bookshop at night with him, just reading and enjoying each other's presence. The things you'd do to have him smile when you called him your man. But he was a very closed off person. That night you met was the most open he'd been.

It's like when he's working, or the taskforce are around, he flips a switch. But moments when it's just the two of you... there's something so wonderful about them. About him. He was the most interesting person you'd ever met, and probably ever will meet. He's all you've ever wanted and more. Someone fun, someone that gave you a rush, yet he was mysterious.

The taskforce were pretty nice too, although they seemed to be hesitant around L, like they didn't fully trust him. You didn't see why they'd be like that, he's the worlds greatest detective. If he can keep his identity from the whole world, he can definitely keep the cases secrets.

"(Y/n), out of curiosity... how did you manage to come to Japan without your passport being tracked?" L asked.

"Fake one. I know that's bad, but I couldn't be tracked. I'm not going back to my old life"

"I get it... being off the grid under your birth name requires that. It's not like I'm using my real name on anything"

"You are the man in many names. Ryuzaki, Coil, Deneuve, Ryuga and L? That's a lot. I bet there's conspiracy theories around you"

"There is, some people are convinced L is an organisation and not just one guy"

You snickered at the comment. That was dumb, if it was an organisation then there'd be more cases being solved at a faster rate. L's solved cases catalogue is impressive but not at that level. You caught a glimpse of what was on L's screen. Your disappearance case file.

"Reading about me?" You asked.

"I want to know what your hometown is saying and about your disappearance. It's best I just hack into everything and remove the file so your real name can't be accessed. Apparently it took a whole week for you to be reported missing after you left"

"Of course... no one paid that much attention to me. It was good because I stayed out of drama like that, but it also meant no one really cared about me"

"Clearly, if it took a whole week to notice you were gone" L said.

He typed some things up, clicked and few buttons and the file was wiped. Your real name safe from the looming threat of Kira.

"It's kind of cool though, being a mystery" you said.

"That's the thing I like the most about my job. I can walk down the street and no one would bat an eye. No one knows it's L"

"Guess we're mystery buddies then. No one will ever know about our past"

L turned his spinny chair to face you and put his feet up on the coffee table, sipping his tea.

"Must be fun, starting a new life" He said.

"It was. An exiting new place and a massive weight off my shoulders. Proof that in certain situations, running away from your problems is the right way to go" you replied.

Picking up your tea cup and taking a sip, you looked at the clock. Midnight. You'd been here talking to L all day and into the night. As usual. At this point you'd been bringing you cat with you, knowing you'd be there really late and not home to feed her. Soon enough you'd be moved into taskforce HQ. But you were keeping your apartment, just in case.

"And you know what, this life is way better. I got to meet you, get a cool job and eat some of the best cakes I've ever had. If I had stayed back in my hometown, none of that would have happened" you said.

"You don't miss home, or regret leaving?" L asked.

"No way. This is my home now. I'm glad I left, I'm glad I met you. You're cooler than you give yourself credit for L"

"I am?"

"Yeah! You've got all kinds of cool stories to tell, you're funny and you have so many small things about you that are so... intriguing. I'd spend the rest of my life with you if I could"

His cheeks flushed pink at those words, never having such genuine high praise before.

"I wouldn't mind that... you can stick around if you promise to keep it a secret" he said.

"If it means hanging with you until I'm old and weak, hell yeah. My new life with you is 100 times better than my old one. I promise, L"
