Kei is the kind of guy who could drive the kind of guy L is very crazy very fast. L sees him as someone who's good-natured even if he doesn't think they're on equal footing intellectually (which, in all fairness, isn't that uncommon.) That being said he doesn't dislike Kei. The thread that probably drove it home for him was the one where Kei asked if he was all right following the revelation of what B actually was; it was the last thing L expected, but he responds really well to nurturers. Even vaguely nurturing sentiments framed within a certain context really tend to get to him. By "vaguely nurturing" I do mean that simple kindness frequently surprises my character. :| If Kei keeps talking to him and simply being kind I think that L will warm up to him pretty quickly.
