I know what you must be thinking; aagh, she's started another L/Light story without even finishing her other drabble series!

No? Well, you should, because that's what I'm doing. Oh, and be warned: SPOILERS, for ending of DN and L's name.

Fear not, this one won't be as long or random as Raito, on Ryuuzaki is ending up being. I only intend about 4, 5 chapters max for this. And they're really short.

This story will take place after L's death, as he looks down from the nothingness at Light. Wow. Better than it sounds, really. I hope.

I was inspired to write this by two things: the last episode of Death Note, where as Light dies, the last thing he sees is L standing in front of him, and two, a picture I saw of L as an angel with white wings holding Light who is an angel with black wings. So, yeah. Have that in mind as you read.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Except L. No, wait, dammit, I don't even own him. But I do own an L necklace. -cackles- DN is but a step away...


1 / Watching / Soon

"Lawliet."

The voice that called him was gentle. He removed his thumb from its usual place on his lower lip to answer.

"Yes?"

"Why do you watch?" the voice asked him.

"Because he is still alive." Lawliet replied.

"Worry not; he will go to where he deserves eventually." The voice said, the bitterness in it not meant for the one he was speaking to.

"No!" Lawliet cried, a little louder than he meant. The sound echoed in the white-nothing they were suspended in. "No." His voice dropped and thumb once again returned to his lips. "I do not wish that." He murmured.

"Why?" the voice was curious now.

Lawliet did not answer, could not answer. He never spoke without thinking, and this question required…a lot of thinking. And yet at the same time, he did not want to say he did not know; because he was a detective, and rather than saying he did not know, he would find out. After all, he had an eternity.

"It is almost time." The voice was closer now, almost directly behind him. "He will be done, soon."

"Yes. Very soon."
