"You may now kiss the bride!"
Everyone in the small chapel rose and cheered as the bride and groom passionately kissed. As their lips parted the bride sweetly smiled and said,
"I love you Light."
"I love you too Misa." said the groom in a happy tone. He turned his head over his shoulder and smiled back at the best man, "Hey Ryuuzaki, is the Limo here yet?" The man in the loose tuxedo smiled back and said, "Yes Light-kun, would you like me to show you the way?"
"Yes, that would be great."
As the bride and groom got into the limo and drove away, the wedding party all waved. Ryuuzaki smiled and yelled, "Congratulation!" But even he could sense the bitterness in his voice.
"Is something wrong Ryuuzaki?" L turned around to find Matsuda, his arm around Sayu.
"Oh no, I'm fine, I think I'm just a little hungry." And with that Ryuuzaki bid Matsuda ado and walked back into the church. Ryuuzaki sat down on the nearest pew and bowed his head. How could he go through with this? Thought Ryuuzaki, He told me he loved me! As Ryuuzaki held back tears, his mind slipped into the painful memory of about two months ago.
Ryuuzaki remembers this day well, it was the last day that he and Light were chained together, that's how Ryuuzaki preferred it. This day was a bit different because as they lay in bed it was Light that was uke. As Ryuuzaki tenderly kissed Light's neck Light just laid there, not trying to be seme but just lying their quietly, both his hands rested on Ryuuzaki's lower back. Now looking back, Ryuuzaki realized that the fact Light didn't fight for power should have been enough to realize that something was wrong.
Light took a soft gulp and said, "Ryuuzaki?"
Ryuuzaki did not look up but managed a, "hm?"
Light's voice became stronger, "Ryuuzaki, please stop, we need to talk."
Ryuuzaki could sense sadness in Light's voice, he knew this was serious. Ryuuzaki rolled off Light to the other side of the bed. He sat up and cocked his head.
"What it is Light-kun?"
They sat in silence for a long time as Light quietly stared at the ceiling as if he was writing out every word he wanted to say on it. Ryuuzaki became impatient.
"Light? What is it? What's wrong? Just go ahead and tell me!"
Light let out a deep sigh. He sat up and looked Ryuuzaki in the eye.
"I'm going to ask Misa to marry me."
Ryuuzaki's heart exploded, "W-what? Why marry her? I thought you said you loved me!"
"I do love you but--''
"But what? If you love me then what could possibly make you want to marry that slut!"
"BECAUSE THAT WAY I DON'T HAVE TO HIDE WHO I AM!!"
Ryuuzaki's eyes teared up. He reached out his hand for Light's, "Light-kun—''
Light slapped his hand away.
"STOP! I'M TIRED OF THIS! I'M TIRED OF HIDING FROM OUR FRIENDS, OF MEETING IN STRANGE PLACES!
Ryuuzaki spoke in a trembling voice, "Then we'll tell them about us! We'll tell everyone!"
Light turned away to wipe away his tears. "No. That is what I'm most afraid of," pictures of his family flashed through his head, "I'm most afraid of what they would think…"
They sat in silence for a while. Then Ryuuzaki made one last act of desperation.
"I've never felt happier with anyone before! I love you!"
A single tear ran down Light's cheek, "It would make me happy if we just parted."
Ryuuzaki let out a shaky sigh. He then turned to a small drawer at the side of the bed. He slowly opened and pulled out a small silver key. Without a word Ryuuzaki opened the metal shackles that had held them together for so long. Ryuuzaki wiped away the last of his tears and weakly smiled.
"I only wish to make you happy Light."
Ryuuzaki let out a shaky sigh that echoed off of the church walls.
"What's wrong?"
Ryuuzaki turned around to find a small British man standing behind him.
"Oh, Watari," said Ryuuzaki, whipping the stinging tears from his deeply lined eyes. "It's just you."
Watari warmly smiled, "Now, Ryuuzaki. You heard what I said, what's wrong?"
"I….I…um, Watari have you ever been in love?"
Watari solemnly sat next to the ace detective.
"Yes. I was once."
"With whom?"
"Ah, you wouldn't want to hear a story of such frivolous manner."
"No Watari please!!" pleaded Ryuuzaki, Watari was shocked, "I mean, please," said Ryuuzaki, staring at the Altar." I need to know."
Watari froze for a moment.
"Very well."
