An important confession
Two men were standing in front of each other, both waiting for the other to start talking.
Unfortunately for Light, the other person had been extremely punctual on the appointment: it was 7.30 pm at the bridge near his house, and finally, the sun was setting. He could see a wonderful city falling asleep with the last rays of sun from there, but unluckily, that day, he couldn't appreciate that view in that moment.
L was staring at him, evidently expecting the student to start speaking.
Light knew what he had to say, but he really didn't know how to begin, maybe for the first time in his life. Even thought he had Known the investigator for quite a few months now, he still couldn't be able to imagine the other's reaction at what he was about to say.
Taking in all the oxygen his lungs could master to inspire, he finally opened his mouth "I-I…. ahh, I won't lose any time with nice speech, I'll get to the point. L, there' something I want, no, need, to confess to you."
Before proceeding, Light thought he might have seen a little smirk on the other's mouth. I must be very nervous, he thought.
"What is it, Yagami-kun?" L answered, his voice calm as always. Only, in this situation the student found it more annoying than ever.
"It's been some time… maybe too much actually, since I'm feeling this sensation when I'm with you, and now, sometimes, even when I'm not." This time, he was sure he had noticed a change of expression on the L's face, but he didn't know what he could name it, but he could blame all emotions that were rushing through him and confusing him at the moment.
"I know you since just some months, but even if at first I wasn't sure, every day this weight got bigger and bigger. So please, don't think of me as a person who says hasty things without thinking." He swallowed, and met the other's eyes, but he couldn't be able to hold the older man's gaze.
"In these months, we've been working together nearly every day, and that's also way I feel you should know this."
L's face was feeling visibly uneasy now, and getting a little bit closer to the other, he whispered "Yagami-kun, what is all this about? You're really worring me… I-"
"I don't know how you might react to this, but I'm aware that this could be the last time I'm talking to you."
He took in some air, and then, meeting the other's gaze with steady eyes, he finally found the strength to speak his mind.
"L, I suspect you of being Kira."
