A/N: This is an AU where Light is not Kira or a boy. I wrote this for Light's birthday.

Full Summary: L falls in love for the first time at age 8. Unfourtunately, his crush is kidnapped and held hostage for 4 months. L writes a letter and withdrawls from the whole world for 9 years. During those 9, L had kept waiting for a response. Will it come? Will it not? Does Light remember him after 9 years of being apart?

Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note.

Little Lawliet was walking around boredly at a carnival when he bumped into a young girl around his age. She had brown hair and brown eyes, she looked lost.

"My name is Light Yagami. I can't find my family." Light said. L stood up and held out his hand.

"I'm Ryuzaki. I can help you." L said using a nickname he often used. Light grabbed his hand and smiled. It took awhile but Light was found. L and Light became friends and Light came to play with L everyday. One day Light drew a heart and then cut it in half.

"One half is for me, and the other one is for you." Light said handing L one half. The next day L saw Light walking towards him when somebody grabbed her and started dragging her away.

"STOP HIM! HE'S KIDNAPPING HER!" L shouted pointing at Light struggling in the mystery person's grasp. Everybody stared and a few people called the police. But it was already too late. Light was gone. L broke into tears and cried until his eyes felt all dry. L hadn't seen Light for 4 long months. It wasn't until L turned on the TV 4 months after the kidnapping when he saw they were talking about her being rescued. Apparently she had spent 4 months hidden in a cabin in the woods and a curious couple found her inside. L smiled relieved that Light had been rescued. L felt sad because he didn't do anything help, he was only 8. L wrote a letter to his dear friend.

'Dear Light,

I'm glad you were found, but I feel like we should be apart for awhile. This upsets by the fact that you are my only friend in the world, and I may even have a crush on you. I hope we can play again.

-Ryuzaki'

L then took his letter to Light, taped it to her window, and walked away.
