Heeadcanons for L when he was little please?
Oh Dear Anon! I love this so much! L as a child…my weakness.
He was a precocious little sh*t that could have tried the patience of any saint. Luckily for him Watari loved this about him and even when he was at his wits end with him, he still found him adorable.
He corrected every adult’s grammar.
Roger found him extremely irritating and had a hard time hiding it. Watari assumed L knew, but acted as though he didn’t. (Perhaps he was just used to people treating him that way.)
Eventually Roger got over it and became quite fond of him.
On the rare occasion When Watari would get him to sleep, he had horrible nightmares. Watari never wanted to pry into what they were about.
He soon realized that it was better to just let L be L and let him sleep where ever & whenever he could. (Think of the exhausted little kid that just curls up where ever they are and falls asleep.) L never outgrew this.
Watari never forced L to play with the other children, but when he was small, he would make him go outside at least once a day for fresh air.
L liked to pet the occasional stray cat that wandered into Wammy’s yard.
He would often bring critters back into his room and keep them until Watari found them and made L put them back outside. Eventually he bought L his own terrarium and let him keep a gecko.
He preferred books to television and would often ask if he could read the books in Watari’s study.
When L came to Wammy’s, he was badly bruised and his clothes were very dirty. When Watari tried to get him to wear something else, he became very upset. Watari got him new clothes identical to what he had been wearing when he came there and it became his “uniform” ever since. (As far as L was concerned, Who needs to be bothered picking out clothes anyway. As an adult, he is far too busy to be concerned with that.)
He was already fluent in Japanese and French when Watari found him.
He knew many children’s songs and lullabies and would often hum to himself when he was playing or working on something.
L refused to eat the food at Wammy House because it was “yucky” and not like what his mom used to make. Watari began centering his meals around sweeter things in hopes to get him to eat.
If L would at least try to eat meals, Once a week, Watari would bring L to the sweets shop down the street and let him pick out £1’s worth of candy.
Watari spoiled him, letting his big heart and fatherly instincts towards L get the better of him, but L so rarely asked or took advantage, he liked indulging the boy.
