What I'm thinking - I talked it out a bit after I posted this - is that B was incredibly good at reading people, and realized most people were lying to him when they said they cared. L didn't.
L will lie, but it's nothing personal. He doesn't pretend to like people when he doesn't. B might like that honesty.
And then there's the matter of Roger...He doesn't seem to like kids, and B would be able to tell. (Which raises the question of what Watari's up to there. He doesn't seem terribly interested in making *functional* children, does he? Great workers, yes, but not really people who can work in society. B could have been prevented - and Mello, for that matter.) B would be offended with Roger. He probably wanted L's attention so much because no one else was worth of giving him honor. (If that makes sense.)
It's complicated. B doesn't totally add up. His personality is patchwork, and the pieces don't match. He cut himself up and pasted it together to be L, but he can't be like L so he just kept cutting. He may not even have known what he was doing. (It's likely that he didn't)
*deep breath* Like I said, complicated. Anyway....Talk about him more later, sometime.
