[For a moment, the two of them are locked in the world's strangest, most apprehensive and awkward tango. With Connor's hands locked around L's sugar-grasping wrists across the table, a couple other people in the cafeteria can't help but stare, and of course that does nothing to alleviate the discomfort L feels with the situation.
It's still not enough to make him want to eat the egg salad sandwich, however. The very thought of it turns his stomach and makes him gag. He watches the packet of sugar drop onto the sandwich, swallowing the dry, bitter taste in his mouth.
He feels like he's already met Connor in the middle, and then some, just by coming here with him. But on paper, he suppose it isn't really like that. The indignity alone of all this is mortifying, but rather than ending it sooner, by just taking a bite, L is recoiling at the thought.
He reaches down with his free hand, snatching away the sugar and moving it closer to his person as though worried it's going to be snatched back. Satisfied, he reaches down, takes a swift and sickening bite of the disgusting sandwich and forces it down with a generous drink of water, tearing open the sugar packet as what essentially amounts to a chaser.

One bite down. Barely.]
