A/N-- I always wanted to know what L had been like as a little kid. I mean he couldn't even MORE adorable could he? Well in this one he can .
Lawliet was staring at a book. Unlike the other kids his age L liked to read books with as many words as possible as and lass pictures as possible, which can be none. There weren't many books that satisfied Lawliet. But he had found one that he couldn't tear away from. He was sitting in his angel postition on his chair, one thumb in slightly in his mouth and his other hand holding the book up in front of his as if he would be able to see it if it weren't right in front of his face. Someone was calling his name.
"L. L. L." The voice said insistantly.
Lawliet looked down to see who was pulling at his shirt sleeve. "Yes Matt?" He masked his annoyance at how the boy had intterupted his reading.
"Lawwy," Matt's pet name for him, it was cute. But L was eight. And Matt was barely above toddler age. "can you get me cake?"
Matt knew the staff at Wammy's House couldn't refuse Lawliet sweets. "Of course Matt." L smiled sweetly. Mat was one of the only other kids he liked in Wammy's House. Near was one too. Matt giggled in delight and grabbed L's hand and all but dragged him to the kitchen. "Can I get a double helping of chocolate cake with extra strawberries and whipped cream?" Lawliet's voice was so innocent that even the most hardened staff couldn't refuse him.
"Of course L." The woman said and got him the cake he wanted. She even put chocolate syrup on it.
Matt waited patiently until they were safely out of the kitchan before insisting for his share of the cake. "Lawwy. Please. You said you'd give me cake" He pouted and gave L the puppy eyes. Lawliet wondered why it was him and not Matt that got what he wanted. L stared off into the space in front of them. "Lawwy...?" Matt asked, eyeing the cake more than being concerned about L.
"I'm actually not hungry for cake." L smiled at Matt. "Eat all of it. If you don't eat supper or get cuaght I won't do this again." He said sternly.
"Ok." Matt hugged him before running off with the cake.
Later that night
Lawliet was just crawling into bed when a small voice asked, "Lawwy, can I sleep with you tonight? Mello's being mean to me." Matt had a slight nruise on his cheek. L hated Mello.
"Sure Matt. Come on in." L held up the blanket so Matt could crawl in beside him.
Matt snuggled into L's chest and Lawliet wrapped his arms around Matt. L would take care of Mello in the morning. How dare he hurt his little Matt! L kissed the top of Matt's head. "I love you Matt." He whispered.
"I love you too Lawwy."
