Sorry about the short chapters. I just wanted to hurry and get to this chapter. I hate writing about L and Light when they're not around each other.
And, heh, people kept asking if it was the end? I guess because of the chapter titles but... No. That would be a very wierd ending. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Oh! And, if anyone can guess what the rest of the chapters will say (for example, they say 'Why dont you believe in me?' now), then I will write them a special LxLight one-shot just for them! You can pick the plot too if you wish. Leave your answer in a review. The deadline is the end of the story.
Let the game begin.
I Want You to Believe in Me
Kir Sirin
"Light!" Mr. Yagami exclaimed as he saw his son burst through the door. "You're back! But... It's only been a few days."
It felt like a lot longer to Light.
"Where's Ryuzaki?" Light tried to calm his racing heart. "I need to speak with—"
"Light-kun."
Light looked up ahead to see the beautiful detective hunched over and staring blankly at him.
Light's face lit up as he gave a sincere smile.
"Ryuzaki…" He tried to walk, contain his elation, but his face gave it all away.
L's heart broke.
Light-kun is already acting…
"Light-kun, let's talk." L led the teen into their old room and quietly shut the door. He followed behind Light as he sat on the bed.
"L… I… I needed to see you." Light said softly.
L swiftly straddled the unsuspecting teen on the bed and glared into his face, "Was this nothing more than a game to you?"
"What?"
He clamped his hands around the teen's wrists. "Do other people's feelings not matter to you? Tell me the truth. Was this all just a game to you?"
"Wasn't it a game for you?" Light asked coldly.
L was taken aback by the anger in Light's eyes.
The detective closed his eyes and sighed. "We are both fools."
Light fell on the defensive and yelled, "Well, if you didn't have to be so damn secretive about everything then maybe I wouldn't think this way!"
"What do you mean, Light-kun?"
"I love you, dammit!" Light leaned forward, against L's tight grip on his wrists, and pressed his lips against the detective's.
For a second, L allowed himself to relish in the soft feel of the teen's pink lips.
Then he shoved Light off of him. "Light-kun should learn when the act ends." L stood up and turned his back on the brunette. "I will no longer be your audience."
But Light wasn't about to let the detective get away.
He stood up and caught L's wrist. "L—"
"Stop it, Light-kun."
"No." Light twisted L around and slammed his back against the door he was about to open. "I won't."
The black-haired detective stared determinedly into Light's eyes.
"L… I-I know now… Before I was only lying to myself… But now I know."
"Know what, Light-kun? That you are truly Kira? That you are really a heartless, cold, evil, manipulating mass-murderer?"
Light could feel his heart break at the emotionless tone L used. He slowly caressed the detective's cheek, "I know that my heart truly does want you."
L blushed slightly, but only because he had slammed the lid on his emotions tightly.
His heart raced.
"Ryuzaki… I can't be around anyone else… They all leave me feeling empty… Whenever I say something to them, I feel used and disgusted. You're the only person that I feel right with."
"Light-kun…" L whispered.
"L, I know you think I'm only deceiving you, but I'm not. Please, believe me." Light leaned in closer and whispered against L's lips, "I love you."
"I…" L held in his breath when he felt Light's lips re-connect with his.
Ryuzaki allowed Light to take him in his arms. The detective ran his hands through Light's soft hair. He pressed harder into the kiss and received a soft moan that was barely audible from Light.
L wanted to hear that sound again.
He pressed harder and Light's hold on him tightened.
Light couldn't stop himself as his tongue flicked over L's mouth.
He wanted this.
He needed this.
L made Light feel complete, whole…
He made Light feel like he was human.
Light needed him desperately.
"Light-kun…" L breathed against the kiss.
Light gave him another kiss.
"Do you truly need this much attention?"
What?
Light broke off the kiss and stared into L's wide, black orbs.
"Light-kun, you are pathetic." He pushed his way out of Light's embrace and opened the door. "Even you should know when enough is enough."
L closed the door, leaving Light alone in an empty room.
The tables have turned.
"Kukuku."
