Author Note: This is basically the same thing as Just a Game but from L's point of view.

The Suspect

He was the one and only suspect.

There was no proof but I knew he was the one.

We were so much alike.

Maybe that's why I started to see him as something more.

I got close to him so I could convict him

But found myself drawn in.

I knew he was dangerous but kept him close anyway.

I could tell that my time was ending…

I could hear my funeral bells ringing.

He was the last thing I saw.

Those cold eyes and that triumphant smirk told me…

That I was right…he was the cruel killer I knew him to be.

I was pleased to know I was right but also incredibly sad.

I knew without a doubt that we could have been friends…

Or maybe…we already were.

Did he ever regret the path he chose?

Did he feel the connection I felt?

I'll never know.

My last thought was whether I could have sentenced him to death in the end or not.

For he was so much more than just a suspect…

He was my first and only friend.

End
