Chapter 13: The Execution
Light felt miserable. The cops haven't fed him since he got there. His cell was very dirty. On the far wall was a massive blood stain. The toilet and sink had an inch think mold covering them. His bed was hard as rocks, even the pillow.
The guards let Light out twice a day to get fresh air. That wasn't always the case though. The air was so thick of smoke Light couldn't breathe. Also all the criminals had fun beating the holy shit out of him. They never left any visible marks on exposed skin.
Light lost a total of five pounds in the three days he's been there. His skin was pale from the lack of nutrition. He hasn't slept a wink, in fear that the cops would come in and have a field day with him. The only thing that kept Light going in this hell hole was seeing L today.
That's all he thought about. L was his beacon of hope. L had said himself that he wasn't going to let him die. Light didn't want to die either. HE wanted to live, to see L. He wanted to put a smile on his face.
Light looked up at the sound of footsteps. One pair sounded like they were shuffling. Light noticed it as L's. Soon the group came into view. A security guard, Yagami-san, and of course L. The guard unlocked the cell then opened it. L stepped inside, well more like limped in. The guard closed it once he was inside.
"You have twenty minutes." The middle weight guard said.
Yagami-san and the guard walked off. Light took a step towards L. L jumped back against the bars. He wasn't expecting Light to move until they were completely gone.
"Ryuuzaki," Yagami-san said. "Are you alright?"
"Yes. I just lost my footing." L lied. He turned towards Light fully. He didn't like what he saw. "Light-kun? You look so…" He trailed off. He didn't have the heart to say what he wanted to say.
"I know, I look terrible. They don't feed me nor do they care about my health. I can't be around smoke yet they do. I haven't slept for three days."
"I'm sorry." L took a seat on the hard bed. L sat in his butt and his feet two feet from his rear. "They wouldn't agree with my terms of your confinement."
"It's alright." Light took a seat in front of L. "How are you? You still look like you're in pain."
"Yes I am. My right ankle feels better than my left. My ribs have healed. I admit it was hard to more in the slightness, but I'm finally glade to get out of the hospital." L took out a piece of cinnamon bread from his pocket. "Here. I was saving this for later but I can see that you need it more."
Light took it with glee. He nibbled at the bread. "So what's the rest of your plan?"
"Well a good thing is that my doctor, Dr. Goodwig is going to execution part and to take care of you for one in a half to two days. At your funeral, a dummy is going to take your place. I'm going to fake my death as well.
"I'm going to drink this specialized drug thirty minutes before the funeral. Misa is going to realize that I had you killed and write my name in her notebook. (Yes L always knew Misa was the second Kira and that she has a notebook.) I had Wedy switch the notebook.
"After five in a half hours of taking the drug, I'll will awake at the morgue with you and Dr. Goodwig. We'll stay at a hotel under Alber's name. The hotel is paid for only a week so we can think of where we should go live."
Light nodded at L's plan. "What makes you think Misa will even write down your name?"
"She loves you and she will do anything to avenge your death."
"That's true." Light leaned in close to L. "That's very well thought out." Light got right in L's face. "That's one of the many things I love about you."
Light closed the gap between them. Light made his way between L's legs and he gently pushed L down on the bed. L wrapped his good arm around Light's neck. Light deepened the kiss further.
They pulled apart for a moment. Honey eyes and onyx eyes bore true happiness. L leaned up into Light. Once again the kissing fest was on.
Without Light begging for entrance, L opened his mouth a little. Light gladly expected L's offer. Their tongues battle for dominance. In the end Light won.
Their time of bliss was cut short when they heard footsteps coming their way. They pulled apart. Light helped L sit back up. Yagami-san and the guard stopped in front of the cell. The guard unlocked the cell and came in to help L to his feet.
The guard closed the cell once they were out. All three of them started to walk away from Light when he spoke.
"I love you L." Light said in English. Light's father and the guard looked at him perplexed. A smile came to L's lips. "Be careful, please. I don't want to find you dead when I awake."
"You won't. See you midnight tonight."
"Alright. Sayonara till then."

12 O'clock Midnight
Light laid down on a cold metal table with a heart monitor on his bare chest. So many feeling were going through him. Fear that this doctor he didn't even know would actually kill him instead of putting him in a slumber. Fear also for waking up to a dead L. Sadness for Misa, yes he is sad for her, being
tricked into killing in public. That girl won't be able to handle prison. She'll most likely kill herself. Anger for lying to his family for so long and leaving them for good no matter what.
A woman in her forties walked in. She had long black hair and thick rimmed glasses on the tip of her nose. She also wore a long trench coat. She walked up to Light and placed a reinsuring hand on his shoulder. Light relaxed a little at her touch.
Metal blinds opened in front of Light, revealing a group of people. L was the first person he saw followed by his family and then the task force. A priest walked in and started reading from the bible. Light didn't pay attention to him.
All Light focused on was how he should be acting. He started to pick up his breathing and looked around slightly nervous. Everyone was believing it, except the doctor and L.
The priest finished his little passage, then left the room. A guard that stood at the door asked Light if he had any last words to say. Light thought about it. He had to sound just like Kira.
"I regret nothing. I should have killed L when I had the chance." Light paused for a moment. "I should have killed all of you as well."
Both Light's mother and sister hid their faces in Light's father's arms. Yagami-san looked away from his son in shame. The task force members stood mouths agape.
The doctor administrated both drugs at once. Light made his breathing heavier. He tensed his body after a few seconds then went limp. The heart monitor went dead along with the heart. The doctor checked his pulse to make sure Light was dead. When she removed her fingers, she confirmed that he was indeed dead.
L turned towards Yagami-san. "I'm sorry about Light. If it's too much for you then I'll arrange for his funeral?"
"Thank you. Do you think you can get it ready by tomorrow… well tonight?"
"Yes. It shall be done by seven tonight. Now go home and steady yourselves. That goes for you three was well. See you all at seven tonight."
Everyone cleared out of the execution room except the doctor, L and, Light's sleeping body. L gave a nod to Dr. Goodwig, to sneak out Light's body and to replace it with the realistic dummy.

L waited out in Dr. Goodwig's rental, for her and Light. L's side of the door opened. L reached out of the car and grabbed hold of Light's wrists, ignoring the pain in his arm. He pulled him into the car with the help of the doctor. After a minute or so Light was in, his head resting on L's lap. Dr. Goodwig got in the car and drove off towards he hotel room.
