A/N: Wrote this a long time ago… It's kinda cheesy and I'm sorry for that. Once again, spoiler warning.
I was so scared. Terrified. I attempted a scream as I felt the life quickly fading from my body. I had almost made it! I couldn't give up now! I gritted my teeth and tried to move, but to no avail. It was becoming more and more difficult to breathe as I fought to keep my eyes open. Intent on attempting to sit up again, I adverted my eyes directly in front of me. There, no more than ten feet away from me was the one person I regretted. The only person I'd killed that kept me up at night. His face had haunted my thoughts and dreams ever since that one particular night of his death. There he was, looking at me as if waiting for something. It finally hit me. He was waiting for my eyes to close so he could walk with me in the land of death. As if to encourage me further, he gave me a childish smile and held out his hand. Knowing that eternity could be spent with him suddenly took my fear. I tried to smile back at him as I slowly closed my eyes. This was the end and the beginning, the death and the birth, the sinner and the sin. I was again myself. The power-hungry being that once was my body was dead now. L looked over at me as my soul broke free from its deadweight.
"Took you long enough, Light-kun," he said to me softly as he smiled again. I suddenly fell to my knees, crying tears of nothing. I couldn't help it. After all he had done for me, I was the one responsible for his death. Yet here he was, offering a smile. As I cried, I felt him embrace me. Though we were no longer of the flesh, his spirit was warm and solid against my own. The contact was so heavenly that for a long while I refused to let go. He chuckled.
"Missed me, huh?" he inquired. He was so open here… so free. It finally hit me at that very moment. The decline of happiness in my recent life had been caused by the lack of his presence. I had missed him more than I had missed my own father. Did that mean that I… loved him? A blush crept across my face, and I prayed he wouldn't notice.
He just smiled at me shyly before grabbing my hand and pulling me into the sky. This was my true destiny, a fate I wouldn't avoid even if I could. It was an eternity of love, of trust, or friendship, of L… with me. Of us together. Two soul mates destined to be enemies had finally come together as one. And that was what came and never went. That was my life after death, and it was more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined.
A/n: Wow… I feel totally lame now… do you guys hate me?
