One way or another

One way or another. He had to do it anyway. He had to, though he didn't want to, but that didn't matter. He had to die. And it seemed like Light Yagami would have to do it. To kill him.

'Damn you…'

Why did this kind of stuff always have to happen to him? And things were all going so well.

'Damn you… L.'

'Something wrong, Light-kun?'

Damn.

'No. It's nothing. Nothing special.'

'Are you sure? You don't look like there's nothing special.'

'Really, Ryuzaki, I'm fine.'

No, I'm not fine. You're right about that. Now that I finally gained your trust, and it was about bloody time, this happens. AND THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT GOOD!!

'Light-kun?'

Grrrrrrrrr…

'What?!'

'Hey, no need to shout at me. I only want to help you.'

'With what? I don't need any help at all.'

'Yes, you do. Look at yourself. You look like you want to kill someone. You are mad, aren't you?'

Well done, Sherlock. Yes, I want to kill someone. You, for example.

'Come on, we're friends, right?'

Damn you, L.

'Light-kun?'

'Would you please shut up?!' Light finally lost it completely. 'You want to know what's wrong? Do you? Well, fine then! I'll tell you!'

Light walked towards the young man who had become his friend. His very best friend. The one he had to kill, in order to become the god of the new world. His world.

'One: I pick up a stupid black notebook with which I can kill people!' (L looked surprised.)

'Two: some weird guy comes down to our world and tells me he's a shinigami and then he watches me while I kill criminals all over the world!' (L looked shocked.)

'Three: then someone called L appears, and becomes my greatest enemy! He sends the FBI and the gods know who else after me!' (Now L was gaping at him.)

'Four: once I've killed most of the people in my way, I join the task force and find out I can't kill L without making myself the main suspect!

Five: I become friends with my worst enemy! And on top of everything, I find out I can't kill him, even if I won't be suspected at all! And you know why? Well, do you?'

L slowly shaked his head. For once, he had no idea what to say.

'Then I'll tell you! Because I found out that I'm gay!'

L looked at him with a confused look.

'Damn you, L.' Light whispered. 'Damn you…'

'Light-kun…'

Light lost it again.

'I fell for you! You hear me? I. Have. Fallen. In . love. With. You.'

L interrupted him.

'Light-kun, are you telling me now that a) you're Kira and that b) you're gay and that c) the guy you're in love with is the one you have to kill?'

'That's what I said!'

They both were silent. Then, Light started to cry. Because his dream could never come true. At least, one of them. He couldn't have the perfect world and L. He had to give up one of them, and depending on the circumstances, he would have to give up L.

I can't kill him. Not him.

'Light…'

He looked up, right into L's eyes. Those endless eyes. He couldn't resist it, and before they knew it, their lips were chained. It seemed like an eternity when they finally broke apart.

'I can't kill you either, Light-kun.' L said with a smile, then they kissed again.
