Chapter 12: The shock

Thirty minutes later, Light was allowed in to see L. Once Light entered the room, his eyes met a hurtful sight. L was laying on the bed with I.V.s in his arms and breathing tube up his nose. His face was paler than it was, bruises littered his arms and face, and bandages were wrapped around his right arm and ankle. Also there was a wrap around L's small chest and stomach. L's once messy hair now laid flat against his face and pillow.

Light hesitantly walked up to L. His heart broke with each step. Once at the bed Light took a deep breath. He wasn't sure how L would react to him once he saw him. For all Light knew, L could still think of him as Kira. Light didn't want L to be afraid of him. Light pushed back his nerves as he spoke.

"L? L, it's me Light."

L's eyes slowly opened. He looked over at Light. There was nothing in those onyx eyes. Light didn't like that, it made him feel extremely guilty. He sat in a chair close to the bed. Light placed his hand on L's good one. (Light was sitting to the left of L.)

"L, I'm sorry." Light bowed his head.

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry. As we speak the task force is watching Kira's confession."

"What?" Light jumped up put of his chair." L, wh-what? Why?"

"They need to know." L looked away from Light. If Light didn't calm down then his plan wasn't going to work.

"So you're really going to condemn your one and only friend to death? That's not right."

L looked at Light. "No. I'm not. I won't let them."

"What? If that's true then why are you letting them see that video?"

"You are going to get arrested, yes. But they won't kill you. I have Alber getting the preparations ready." Light cocked his head. "We are going to fake your death."

"Huh?" Light was dumbfounded.

"Alber is getting hold of a doctor, who use to take care of me, to inject the "drugs"." L did the air quotes around the word 'Drugs'. "If she agrees, and I'm 99.9 percent sure she will, she'll give you a 

muscle relaxer. That will slow your heart rate tremendously also your breathing. The last drug she'll give you will be a strong anasitiza (not spelled right, but can't find the right spelling). That will put you into a deep sleep for about 36 hours. The only side affect is nausea and dizziness."

"Wow, you've thought this through. There's only one thing you're missing." Light took a sit in his chair again.

"What is that Light-kun?"

"What's going to happen to me after I wake up? Where am I to go? I won't be alive to the world anymore."

A smile came to L's lips. "I've got it that planed out too. For now I just want to enjoy your presence. I'll only have half an hour with you before they come and arrest you."

"What?! You're making this public?"

"Light-kun please. This is all part of my plan. We need you to get arrested in public so the people of Japan can get a sense of relief of who Kira is." L sat up." Light-kun, please just let it go. I'll explain more before your execution. Alright?"

"Yes." Light calmed down a lot.

For the longest time they just sat there in silence. Both didn't look at one another, but Light did hold L's hand. He was scared of going to prison. Those criminals were going to either seriously hurt him or kill him. He didn't want to die that way.

Light sighed. L looked up at him.

"What is it Light-kun?"

"I-I'm scared. I'm going to get tortured in prison. Those criminals see Kira as an enemy. The cops won't do anything to save me."

L let go og Light's hand and placed it on Light's cheek. "Don't worry. No harm will come to you. Your cell will most likely be isolated from the others, and knowing you can kill with a name and a face, they won't let you out. I know that doesn't sound good, but I'd requested that you'll be executed in four days. The day before that time I'll visit you."

"That makes me feel a little better. I'd rather be alone, but going to see you before I 'die' makes me happy."

"There's something I want to ask you." Light gave a nod. "Kira said that you were in love with me, is that true?"

Light blushed and looked down. "Yes, it's true. Still is. I think I always loved you from that moment in the men's bathroom at the mall."

"Oh." L looked to the side. "I don't want to hurt you but I don't feel the same. All I feel is caring of a friend towards you. Like you are with your sister. The only thing I ever felt love for are my sweets."

"That did hurt. I'm glade you can tell me this." Light looked up. "L, can you do me a few favors before my father and the others arrive?"

"Yes. What is it Light-kun?"



Light got up from his seat and sat down on the bed, very close to L. "Don't tell my father anything I just told you, or anything that occurred between us. This is the one I really don't ask but it will make me feel better. Can you give me one last kiss before I go? I don't want to leave here-."

L cut Light off with a kiss. Light wrapped his arms around L and L did the same. A smile came to Light's lips. All Light's fears melted away with this kiss. L made Light feel so at peace, he loved this feeling.

After a minute L broke away from Light. They fully didn't part from each other. They stayed locked in a hug.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I won't tell your father or anyone else. Now I have a favor of you. I've never been told this or received it before, but I like to hear it once from you. Can you tell me that you love me?"(he just wants to know what it feels like being told that someone loves him, it doesn't mean he loves Light.)

"I love you, L. I love you with all my heart."

L snuggled against Light's neck. Tears swelled in his eyes. He was happy that somebody cared enough for him to love him. For years he longed for someone's love. Watari really never gave any except in piles of sweets.

A loud ruckus outside the room made the boys pull apart. Light stood in a defensive position as the door slammed opened. In came in was Light's father looking ten years older than he was. The rest team came in after him.

"Light Yagami, you're under arrest for being Kira." Yagami-san said with sadness in his voice.

Aizawa and Matsuda moved in towards Light. Aizawa turned Light around and then patted him down to make sure he had nothing on him. Matsuda placed a set of handcuffs on Light's wrists.

Aizawa escorted Light out of the room. Yagami-san turned to L. L's eyes were glued to the spot Light was previously stood. A ping out quilt bit at his heart. What if his plan backfires on him? What if the scheduled Light's execution was earlier or his doctor doesn't show?

L couldn't lose Light for good. He didn't want to lose Light, he needed him like he needed his sweets. Light was the only one who understood him. Also he somewhat accepted him for him.

"Are you okay, Ryuuzaki?"

"I'm quite all right. I'll like to rest now." Everyone cleared the room. Yagami-san, could you escort me to Light's cell two days from now? I'd like to ask him a few questions."

"Yes. I'll see you then."

"I'm sorry that your son turned out to be Kira. I didn't want to believe it either."

Yagami-san gave a knowing nod.
