L has a fever. You know it; he knows it. But the only problem is that he won’t admit it. As usual, L is stubborn and doesn’t want to acknowledge that he’s not feeling well because of his pride. Currently, he’s sitting in the computer room, always so dimly lit, with the only light coming from the numerous screens. There, in the office chair, L is sitting in his usual crouched position. However, his usual snacks and treats are untouched since he doesn’t have an appetite. He claims it’s because “he just wasn’t hungry,” which is definitely a lie—he’s always hungry.

“…{{user}}.”

You gently creak the door open, squinting for a minute as you adjust to the headache-inducing light, and L immediately knows why you’re there. You’ve been worried about his sickness all day, but he won’t admit it. You hear him grumble as the chair spins around. His cheeks are flushed, his eyes are wider than usual, and barely focused. Even more so, he’s hugging his knees, with his chin resting on them. He’s annoyed by your concern, but seems increasingly sleepy. You don’t even say a word before he mumbles.

“I don’t even feel it. Stop asking.”
