Hey- this is just a short one-shot inspired by 'My Happy Ending' by Avril Lavigne. Slight LXLight hinted. I'm new here so comments appreciated .

At that moment, he felt more like Lawliet and less like L than he had done in many years.

Let's talk this over

He felt his heart contract, beating its final beats erratically.

It's not like we're dead

His eyes widened

Was it something I did?

He wondered how he gave himself away

Was it something you said?

He was sure there was no evidence of his name… anywhere

Don't leave me hanging

Damn you Kira.

In a city so dead

Damn you Light.

Held up so high

On such a breakable thread

Mello and Near?

You were all the things I thought I knew

He felt he had never lived

And I thought we could be

'Raito-kun is my first friend'

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it

So you are Kira

All of the memories so close to me just fade away

Mello and Near

All this time you were pretending

Raito-kun…

So much for my happy ending.

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say

'Misa-Misa loves her Light!'

They tell you I'm difficult

'Ryuzaki-kun is mean!'

But so are they

'I think Misa Amane is the second Kira.'

But they don't know me
Do they even know you?

"Ryuzaki is my friend, too."


All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

Kira… you were better than me…

You were all the things I thought I knew

Despite his brains, he hadn't seen this coming… not so soon anyhow.
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted

Raito-kun…
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it

I wish I had more time…
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

I wish we had more time.
All this time you were pretending

You were my first friend…
So much for my happy ending

Light-kun… Kira…

Goodbye
