Notes: Place your memory back to the part in the anime where Light was lying on the stairs and then L comes and stands in front of him. This is one of those friendship fics, enjoy.
Bold - Light's thoughts
Italics - L's thoughts
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note.

Ah, so this is how I'll die, huh? Being killed by people I used for my own selfish thoughts. Being killed by the shinigami I thought was an ally. I can't believe that boy outsmarted me. All I wanted to do was create a perfect world and this is what happens.
Killing criminals was wrong, Yagami-kun. They were still people and you killed them. You committed murder, Yagami-kun.
Murder? That wasn't murder; I was trying to create a perfect world!
You were ridding the world of criminals but you became one doing so. You truly were my first friend, Yagami-kun. I was always alone since birth and when I met you, I was happy. To tell you the truth, I was kind of happy you picked up the Death Note and used it. If you didn't, I wouldn't have met you. But now ... you can neither go to heaven nor hell. You will wander the Earth for eternity or become a shinigami yourself.
Light's heart is threatening to stop beating and his eyes are starting to close. He's on the verge of death.
Sayonara, Yagami-kun...
L disappeared and Light's heart stopped beating. He lost his battle against L, his enemy that treated him a friend.
I don't regret using the Death Note then ... since I met you. I met a true friend ...
And Light closed his eyes for the last time, leaving Earth and his broken family.
