Cry
Summary: Yagami Raito never cries, he never cries- but it was too much, too much- way too much as L died with a smile.
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note.
AN: I wanted to reenact this scene imagining what Raito would do if he realized, too late, that L was his actual friend ever? Enjoy.
-Line Break-
He didn't understand.
Somewhere along the way, L had become someone dear.
His first friend…
He didn't understand.
Yagami-kun is the first friend I've ever had
Raito didn't understand how he could fall for the very same trap he tried to bait L into.
I must confess
He tried to banish the thoughts away, trying to keep his mask up as he looked at his friend's (Enemyenemyenemyenemy friend) fading eyes, the betrayal evident.
The hate evident.
The loss… evident.
But what was worse was the gentle acceptance.
Yagami-kun is the first friend I've ever had
He didn't want it, and he tried to keep his smirking attire up – but it didn't work.
L was dying.
That broke something in him.
L was dying.
L was dying.
L was dying because of him.
L was dying.
His mask broke, his eyes began to water and something that hadn't happen in so long occurred-
He cried.
He honest to graciously cried.
His tears fell down upon L's face- struggle and shock shown there as L tried to fight the painful feeling.
But it was of no use.
No one could escape the heart attack of a Death Note.
He didn't scream to the Gods- no.
He screamed at L to live in both English and Japanese, screaming and shaking his body as his tears continued to cascade.
'You were my friend too.'
It was with a smile that L died as if reading his thoughts, his eyes closed peacefully as his grip on Raito's elbow died.
It was with a smile.
It was with a smile that he died due to the fault of his first ever friend.
Sayonara.

Extra from God's Eye (Death Note Doujinshi):
- Should the Death Note fail to work, the Death Note will lose power momentarily and the person will not die of a heart attack but instead lose all memories of their life.
