1. Perfect

That's what everyone thinks when they look at Light. But deep down, L knows Light isn't as perfect as he looks.

2. Mankind

They both try to save it, both in their own twisted way. But can mankind really be saved?

3. Relax

Neither can fully relax……The presence of each other won't allow them to. They are afraid to show weakness, to betray their emotions.

4. Sacrifice

Both make sacrifices. But L could never understand how Kira can sacrifice masses. It just can't be right…..can it?

5. Secure

Nothing seems secure anymore. Not with Light chained to him, following his every move.

6. Silence

Sometimes, the silence between them is deafening and Light wants to scream just to hear some noise.

7. Skin

Light sometimes wonders if his skin is as soft as it looks and if it tastes as sweet as the candy he likes so much.

8. Duty

It's his duty to find Kira. But sometimes, he thinks he just won't be able to do it. He will fail.

9. Sleep

It has been so long since he slept peacefully. He doesn't like -need- to sleep much, but sometimes it just can't be helped and as sleep claims him, he wonders if he'll wake up again.

10. Humorless

He watches Light and a humorless smile crosses his lips. The one he's looking for is so close and yet he can't do anything.

11. Martyr

He never asked to be one. He didn't have a choice.

12. Mask

They both wear one. They wear it to hide their feelings, their pain, the truth.

13. Observe

They're chained together, yet they observe each other from distance. Coldly, silently, aware of the others abilities.

14. Take

He took everything from him and now, there's only one more thing to take.

15. Name

There's only one person besides himself that knows his real name. To others he's just L.

16. Surrender

He won't surrender. Never.

17. Shadow

The dark shadows under his eyes will never disappear. His work won't allow them to.

18. Romantic

Their relationship was never romantic. It was never meant to be.

19. Promise

L doesn't like to hear promises from him. They're all lies.

20. Burn

Those touches make his skin burn and tingle. He can't help it.

21. Competition

It's like a competition between them. A battle of wits with no winner.

22. Crumble

He looks into the mirror and his image almost crumbles. He won't be able to take it much longer.

23. Deny

He vehemently denies it, but for some reason, L can't believe him.

24. Fake

The smiles, their friendship…..It's all fake and they both know it.

25. Ignore

He grits his teeth and tries to ignore those taunts, but it's getting harder and harder.
