For some reason, in my PIAHTDW headcanon, L has an intense dislike of spiders. I've noticed this, though there's really no solid explanation for it.
Curious
"ACK! Spider!" L jumped backwards, eyeing the evil little black eight-legged creature scuttling across the floor, heading straight towards…
Not my bedroom, you bitch!
Leaping into action, a horrified L grabbed a jar and quickly jumped at the spider, trapping it before it could invade his bedroom. Slipping a piece of paper over the top, holding it up, he smiled at it, secretly gloating at his victory over the little creature he could swear was glowering at him with all eight revolting eyes.
I know. I'll let the little bitch suffer and die of starvation, L thought viciously, glowering back at the creature, tail whipping unconsciously in agitation and maliciousness. But then, it stilled as another thought struck him.
But how long can a spider go without food?
Curious now, L trotted into his and Light's bedroom, set the jar down on the desk, booted up Light's computer, and did a quick search. His eyes widened as he read out loud in horror what his search had turned up.
"…Sometimes, up to a year without food or water…"
A year…?
Turning around slowly, L eyed the jar with horrified speculation. His eyes narrowed as he swore that he could see the spider smirking at him, and slowly, he reached out for the can of Raid that he had set aside earlier.
To hell with that.
