credits: thank you @uzmacchiato for all of the amazing sividers I use ♡
Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?
L is very odd with his affection. He is not the biggest fan of PDA, nor is he the biggest physical touch lover in general. I imagine his affection is not very intense, so simple handholding, kisses, and maybe a hug are enough for him. Showing love to L means that he will always remember things about you. He knows everything, which comes in handy when it's a holiday and he needs to get you a gift. He will note in his mind how long you've read a book, what you look at the most in magazines (he's prohibited you from online shopping for safety reasons), anything that gathers your attention for more than a second, and your reactions are both noted down.
Blood: How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?
I don't think he'd get bloody, since he doesn't want legal trouble on top of the rest of his work. I think he'd like blackmailing much better. He makes sure he uses phones that can't be tracked to him, and don't even get me started on how much he can research on a single person. If he is really bothered by the person and what they mean (either negatively or positively) to you, he can pull up their entire childhood. If things did scale to where he had to get 'bloody', he'd hire someone. Because again, not worth the hassle for him, and he doesn't want your image of him to worsen.
Cruelty: How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?
Not at all! While L can be rather blunt when not needed, he can understand your reactions. He'd probably treat you like how you would a rescued cat; 10 feet away in hopes it doesn't scratch you to death. Seriously, if you're aggressive when abducted, he might just deliver you books by pushing them with a 10-foot pole. If you aren't, or maybe once you've warmed up to him, he begins to stay closer to you. He stops asking Watari to deliver food to you and instead delivers it personally.
Darling: Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?
Might not count but he totally has all your data. It's not like L will sell it or anything, but he likes having it just in case. He also stole your phone the night he kidnapped you. He hasn't gone through it, even if he knows the password, he keeps it hidden somewhere just in case, though.
Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?
Very little in the beginning, he had barely shown himself in the first two weeks you were abducted. It was only Watari serving you food, a TV, and some books. During the third week, he had a bit more courage and peeked in at night to look at you. He wasn't sure how to greet you in the daytime, and even though he was the one who kidnapped you, it felt like you were more of a problem than his lover. In the following months, he got closer to you, and that is when he shared most of his story. He tells you that he loves you with a lingering gaze, and he pauses before saying you don't have to say it back. He's not sure if you ever will, but it seems that if you don't care if he shows his vulnerability, he'll be just fine.
Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back?
Again, touching you with a ten foot pole. L doesn't want to get you angrier and potentially threaten his life, so he figures it's something in your environment. He changes the mattresses while you sleep somehow, the pillows are changed, everything, maybe even the decorations! Still, if you fight back, he assumes you're hungry and gets Watari to order a whole buffet for you. If you do ever try to threaten his life? Restrained. Probably just your legs though, he knows Watari can feed you without getting hurt, but he doesn't want the inconvenience. He hopes that you'll calm down at him so he can take them off.
Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?
He doesn't necessarily think it's a game. To him, this is about your safety. If someone knows he loves you, you could be held hostage. But he does find it interesting on how you try to find loopholes, try to dismantle cameras, or anything that can impede on your captivity. He likes seeing your personality up close. Do you cry? Do you accept it? So, while his main motive is to keep you safe, it's always a good opportunity to learn about your behavior.
Hell: What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?
Probably the 1st month after you try escaping. While L likes how you come up with strategies to escape, he doesn't want you to actually escape. It slightly bruises his ego and completely drains his trust in you. Were you acting nice to him because you wanted something? Did you get close to him to take his keys? Whatever the case, he doesn't trust you for a month. You're locked in your bedroom, where all the windows and doors have been reinforced with locks. He considered chaining you to the bed, but he didn't want to deal with the mess.
Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?
L hopes that one day you love him enough to let you outside. He wants to go to bakeries with you like other couples. He wants your relationship with him to be the one normal thing in his life. And even if he always has a bodyguard near for your safety, he hopes that doesn't affect you. He wants to spoon feed you cake, share a drink with two straws that makes a heart. He wants you to be the stability in his life.
Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?
L would not lash out at you at all. If you do begin going outside with him, he maintains a good appearance, sometimes holding hands, sometimes not. If the latter is the case, he won't seem bothered by it at first. At least his face doesn't seem like he's bothered. But at night, he is clinging to you when you two go to sleep. He's actually not even asleep; he's just clinging to you like a koala while you try to get some type of rest. When he does this, he is very awkward and stiff. You know those little toy monkeys you can put on your finger? That's him with your body.
Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling?
He can be sappy when he feels like it. If no one is looking, then he'll kiss you anywhere. Mostly your shoulders, because from his sitting position, it's the most convenient spot to kiss. But if he's in a spot where couples are known to be affectionate, he won't mind doing it. He'll get the 'Super Duper Ice Cream for Soulmates' if it means it gets his affection known. He wants to show you that the reason he kidnapped you was not for lust, your beauty, or any other gains, but because he truly cares for you and wants you to keep safe.
Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?
He absolutely spoils you. He's never courted anyone before, but he knows people like gifts. So even in your first week of kidnapping you were given daily flowers, books, things that were in your online cart before you were taken. Maybe if you saw that he was a provider instead of a threat, you'd warm up to him faster.
Mask: Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?
He's a lot softer around you. Much less sarcastic too. He's still blunt, don't get me wrong, but it's to a degree where he's simply confirming what you're saying and adding what he thinks. If he's doing research while you're there talking about something he'll most likely repeat what you're saying to show you're listening. He's affectionate when you're around, obviously, but since only he and Watari know about you, no one really knows his true side.
Naughty: How would they punish their darling?
Probably just locks you in your room like you're in time out. He thinks the punishment should fit the crime, so it really depends on what you've done. Mean to him? You get the cold shoulder. Try to escape? House arrest. I don't think he'd go as far as what he did when interrogating Misa because he truly loves you and doesn't want to humiliate you.
Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?
In the first month, you only have access to your bedroom and bathroom, along with basic needs, of course. You don't have a cellphone or a TV. Simply books, and maybe if you've been good, a gaming console. If you show cooperation, most of your rights are given back. You can roam around the house now, and you have access to a cellphone that's bugged just in case. After a year, if he truly trusts you, you'll be able to go out with him, but all of your clothing has tracking devices.
Patience: How patient are they with their darling?
Very! Will give you a lot of space, and won't even contact you before you're acclimated to your situation! Even if you lash out at him he won't snap at you and most of his punishments is non-physical and meant to keep you from escaping.
Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?
Most likely. He wouldn't kidnap another person (that's not for interrogating) purposes again because you meant a lot to him. He'd probably find a way to track you however so he doesn't feel abandoned.
Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?
He would feel kind of guilty for taking over your social life and not letting you acclimate, but he would not let you go. He doesn't feel guilty for keeping you safe and he feels less guilt as time goes on. However, when you mention something that happened before he took an interest in you, he will feel a bit of guilty from being reminded.
Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?
Curiosity for the most part. How you two met is up to you but he couldn't help dig deeper and see what you're like. What motivated him to kidnap you however is for your safety. If anyone found out he took a liking to you, you could be taken hostage.
Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?
He sees it as a normal reaction, and doesn't react much himself aside from the slight shock. Isolating yourself makes him feel bad for your situation, even if he put you in it. He wants you to trust him and to be close to him.
Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?
He doesn't try comforting you or hurting you much. Yes, if he's near you and you're sobbing, he'll give some comforting words, but he feels as if he'll make the problem worse, as he is your kidnapper after all. So he's not really like a soft yandere or a brutal yandere in that aspect.
Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?
Since L loves observing you and how you behave, make it obvious that you're going to escape. He'll probably think you're just toying with him and make it so that your conditions are more 'met', like disabling some cameras. Use that to do your actual plan instead hidden somewhere!
Wit’s end: Would they ever hurt their darling?
Absolutely not. He doesn't want you to lose complete trust in a relationship he carefully built so you're not scared of him.
Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?
Worships you in a way you don't notice. Buying the books in your online cart, giving you the plate you 'eat the most in', taking off ingredients in foods because you don't like them. He's really into gift-giving because it doesn't make him go up to you a lot, unlike physical or verbal affection. He can get you whatever, and thinks that once you see how much of a provider he is, he'll win you over.
Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?
A good 6 months and a half. He memorized your schedule and every single inconvenience that happened and how you reacted to it. He found out your favorite shirts, mugs, hell even pen. He scribbled it all down so he could make the perfect abode for you. He snapped when he was researching a case where a man took a police officer's lover hostage, and couldn't bear that happen to you too.
Zenith: Would they ever break their darling?
No, like I said before L spent a lot of time trying to gain your trust and finding every single aspect of your personality. If you broke, he wouldn't have that. All his research and time spent with you would be for nothing because you wouldn't act the same, and breaking you for research purposes would deem the same results.
