Prompt: Misa/L, cuddling, sweet talk, everything possible that author can find cute that isn't lust.

"You're not so bad." L sighed as he slouched down on the plush sofa.
"I'm not?" Misa asked hopefully from her position on the floor.
L looked down at her, blinking a few times, trying to evaluate the situation.
"Come here." He said and stretched out his arm, beckoning her over.
She got up and slid in beside L, watching with wide puppy dog eyes as he draped a bony arm around her shoulders.
"You're not stupid."
She leaned her head on his shoulder at the words. The meaning behind them meaning more to her than the person they were coming from.
"Thanks." She smiled.
She could feel L's heaving chest, the steady heartbeat coming out in vibrations through his chest. It was nice.
"Ryuuzaki?" she whispered, as if the goings on in the room were something that never should be uttered to anyone. Ever.
"Hmm?" he hummed.
"You're not cold."
He looked down at her, eyes searching.
"What?"
She smiled. Maybe he wasn't as self-conscious as she'd thought.
"I meant; you're not as cold as they say you are. Emotionally."
She looked away, a sad smile splaying across her face.
His breath hitched, and she could feel it, before he let out a huge sigh.
"Thanks. Although, that's technically not a compliment…but don't worry about it."
He stroked her hair, combing through the blonde locks with spidery fingers.
She sighed and closed her eyes, snuggling closer into the warmth of his chest.
She did worry about it, but if he said it was OK, it probably was. After all, she was Misa. Not the brightest in the bunch, and definitely not someone who would understand just WHY it was so bad, but…it didn't matter.
He felt contentment for the first time in a very long time. This was nice. This was safe.
The semi hug attested to that. And so did the warm body next to him.
He would be OK.
