A/n: inspired by Melanie's song lol.

Head canon: you're the one to guide L through most things. So you had to teach him to ride a bike when you were little.

"No"

"Yes!"

"NO!"

"Come on L, the training wheels are already so worn down, just take them off!" You said.

"No! I can't ride a bike without them..." he replied.

You sighed, looking down at the bike before you.

"How about I take off your training wheels? Then I'll help you stay up"

The child crossed his arms.

"Fine"

You ran off into the orphanage into Mr Wammys office.

"Mr Wammy!" You said.

"Oh, (y/n), what is it?" He asked.

"Where's the tool for the training wheels?"

"Haven't you already taken your training wheels off?"

"I'm taking of L's!"

The man laughed and handed you the tool that came with the bike for the wheels.

"Good luck"

"Thank you!"

You ran back out to the garden and sat on the ground next to the bike, L watched as you undid he bolt that kept the wheels on. He was worried, he didn't know how to ride a bike without training wheels and he knew he was going to get hurt. But if you were there, then he was willing to try.

You tossed the first wheel aside and then took off the other, dropping it and the tool with the other. You took up and patted the seat.

"Alright, on you get!" You said.

L gave you a worried look.

"I have bandaids in my pocket, if you fall, I can patch you up"

L sighed and got onto the bike, you held onto the handle bars and the back of the seat as he put his feet on the pedals.

"Look, I'll keep you up for a bit, then you can try without me" you said.

"Ok..." he replied.

He pushed his feet against the pedals, you kept him up, making sure he wasn't going to fall off. In no time at all he knew what he was doing, so you decided it was time he gave it a go by himself.

"Alright, I'll stand at the end of the path and you'll ride to me" You said.

"But-"

"No buts!"

You ran to the end of the path and stood by the benches, it was a reasonable length for him to try.

"Now ride to me!"

He put his feet on the pedals and began to shakily ride toward you, what was he so worried about? He was doing fine.

"See you can-"

"AHH"

CRASH.

"-do it..."

About halfway there, he fell off and tumbled into the ground. You ran over to him and picked his bike up off him as he sat up. His eyes welling up with tears.

"Ow..." he whined.

He looked down at his hands, seeing a massive cut on one, bleeding like crazy.

You sat down opposite him and pulled a tissue and bandaid out of your pocket. You wiped up the blood and put a bandaid over his hand.

"We'll just try again" you said.

"I don't want to" he whimpered.

"You'll be fine, you were already doing great. You just ran over a rock"

You pulled his hand up to your lips, kissing over the bandaid.

"See? All better"

His cheeks went red. Even if you were both just kids, he still managed to get a little playground crush on you.

You pulled him to his feet, ready for round two.

Your kiss have him motivation, maybe if he got it right, he'd get another kiss.

He put his feet on the pedals and pushed down on them, this time, staying up the whole way down the path.

"See! I told you you could do it!" You clapped as he rode his bike around you in circles.

"Ok... you were right" he admitted.

"I'm always right, now we can go to the park together on our big kid bikes!"

He got off his bike and wheeled it up to you.

"T-thanks for helping" he said.

"I'm your best friend, I was going to help weather you liked it or not, now let me get my bike and we can go to the park!" You giggled.

Just before you ran off to go get your bike, you placed a kiss on his cheek, running off and not looking back, on a mission to get your bike.

You left the little detective in a daze, two kisses in one day, he was in a roll for an 8 year old.

"That's how I got the scar on my hand"

Misa and Matsuda looked at L with puppy dog eyes.

"Awwww, you and (y/n) have known each other that long?" Misa cooed.

"Yeah, she's the one that pushed me to do most things when we were little"

"Telling the scar story?" You said, entering the room.

"Yeah, I wouldn't have that scar if you never took of my damn training wheels"

"Hey, I helped you ride that bike and kissed you better, be grateful"

"(Y/n), have you always been the one the guide L through things?" Matsuda asked.

"Yep, still do to this day" you said.

"I can't to anything for myself sometimes, she guided me through everything" L said.

You flashed L a smirk.

"I took of your training wheels literally and figuratively" you said.

"Oh yeah, I know you did"
