Prompt: L x Light, washing the feet of Judas

Steps of Calvary

Apart from being unfairly clever, L had also received a very, very good education while at the Whammy House.

Thus, the irony did not escape him as he sat on the steps, feeling rain that was not cold (but not as warm as his skin, either) trickle down his spine and washed the feet of a traitor.

He wondered if he would get a kiss to go with the betrayal, then decided he didn't want it. That would make him regret things, and he didn't want to go out carrying wish-I-had's on his shoulders.

"How much silver did they offer you?" he whispered.

"What?" Light asked. "I didn't hear you."

"Nothing," L answered with a sad smile that he knew Light would not miss. "Just pondering the dichotomy of good and evil, that's all."

Light stared at him, then rolled his eyes. "What's the point? It'll just give you a headache."

L laughed, and ran his fingers along the arch of Light's foot, feeling him shudder involuntarily. "My head is pretty tough."

"I might have guessed."

And just like that, there was only the sound of rain and-- if he closed his eyes-- of far-off bells.
