Hey, in my story, Almost Paradise, I made a little deal in the story about Light's name not being Light. Ever since i found out that some people call him Raito i've been in love with that name so, that is what I made his real name.
"Light, can I ask you a question?"
I looked over to L, he had a curious look in his eye. "What is it?" He looked over at me with his prying eyes, "You said something to Kira about a real name? Is it not Light?" I paled, thinking of Daisuke and everything he did. The way he touched me like I was his property, like he could do anything he wanted. L gently tapped me, obviously waiting for an answer, shaking me out of it.
"Yes L, my name is not actually Light. You see when I was little I decided that names were special, that they held value. They help you define who you are, and once you call someone by a name, it is very hard to switch because it came to the fact that it helped you identify them. So I told my dad that I wanted to be called something else, and only told people very special to me.", I explained to him, a little bit hesitantly.
He looked at me with an expression of mock hurt, "So I'm not special! Well then, I'll just be one my way, they probably want me back in england now anyway. And I can have the room they were preparing for us all to myself." I looked at him in annoyance, "You would never really do that to me would you? I know you love me, and I love you too. Plus I'll tell you mine when you tell me yours."
He looked at me weirdly, "You make a good point. But… ", his eyes got playful,"You love me?" I looked at him, a million emotions running through me at a time, at first fear, fear of him getting scared of the word, then finally annoyance, which cause me to shout, hitting him on the head with my book, "Of course I love you, you dummy! Why else would any of this be happening?
He put his hand up to clutch the back of his head, "Sorry, I was just playing. You just have never said it before. I love you too okay." I relaxed, laying my head on his shoulder, sighing, "I love you so much L you don't even know." He laughed circling his arms around my waist, "But I can always guess."
We were silent for a while, content just sitting, leaning on the headboard in each others warmth when L spoke up, "L Lawliet"
"What?", I questioned. He repeated, "L is my first name, Lawliet is my last." I looked at him shocked for the longest time, him looking nervously back at me, before I whispered his name out to test it. "I love it…" He let out a sigh of relief, as I ran my fingers through his beautiful mess he calls hair.
"Raito is my real name", I gently said, sharing the last of my secrets with L. He smiled at me, "Well Raito," he pulled me closer, "Nice to meet you." I laughed as he started to tickle me, me throwing my head back in euphoria. I thought, 'Well… maybe Daisuke was necessary, because I found the greatest thing because of him.
