Author: Kage Kioku Aji Tenshi A.K.A. Kage-san Summary: he fooled them all but he couldn't fool himself

'No, it's too soon. I'm not ready to lose him yet.' Raito thought, holding Ryuzaki.

Raito had meant to tell Ryuzaki how he felt about him. He had thought he'd have more time.

Raito smirked as Ryuzaki's eyes closed, but deep inside his heart was breaking and as Ryuzaki's heart slowed to a stop he suddenly felt frozen.

After that he pretended everything was fine, but late at night he cried silently and every year on Ryuzaki's birthday and death day he brought a piece of strawberry cake to the unmarked grave and a single red rose, with a note that said 'Raito loves L Lawleit' nothing more, nothing less.

When he was 'beaten' by Near he pretended he didn't want to die, he begged, but that was that was what they expected.

When Matsuda shot him he was glad. He ran, trying to make it to L's grave, he didn't make it. He lay on the stairs looking up, trying to remember what Ryuzaki looked like. A paper fell from his hand, twisting and flipping. One side said 'Raito loves L Lawleit' the other side said 'Raito Yagami, shot by Matsuda at ware house at 5:21 pm, February 28, 2004 before having a heart attach' "L Lawleit' was written on the paper as well.

Raito smiled as his heart stopped, thinking only this. 'I'm sorry L, you won. Kira is no more. I love you'

Then Raito was in the nothing place, where all Death Note users go.
