Revelations pt.1
Light opened his eyes carefully and blinked. He remembered that his Uncle sold him and that he was no longer home. He looked at his surroundings. He can't remember anything. But, he remembered the pain and sadness. "Nii – chan…" he whispered. His eyes wandered curiously around the room. The room was beautifully decorated and was very large. At his left was the door. He slowly crawled out of the bed. He was still a little dizzy but, he shrugged it off. 'I need to get out of here' he thought. Before he could stand up, the door suddenly opened. It revealed a man in his early twenties. He has jet-black hair that was very messy, and his eyes were charcoal black that has deep bags under it. ' This man looks weird…' Light thought. The man wore a plain white long sleeved t – shirt and navy blue jeans.
"I see you're awake." The man mused as he went towards the teen.
Light moved away. He couldn't trust this man…and yet there was a part of him who wants to completely trust this man
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you." The man said. Light stared at him for a while before nodding.
'Maybe…he would not hurt me…" Light thought as he slowly moves towards the man. Then, he suddenly felt dizzy and started to fall. But, before he could fall to the ground, the man catches him. "Hmmm…it seems the drugs are still in your body."
"Wh – who are you?" Light asked.
"My name is L. I save you from the auction."
L saw the man expression change into fear. L couldn't help but pity the boy. He was too young to experience this kind of cruelty from the world. "So, how are you feeling?" he asked.
"I feel fine…I'm just a little dizzy…but otherwise I'm fine" Light muttered softly. L stared at the young boy before him. He looks lost and fragile.
"The drugs must still be in your system. You should rest for a while…" L said.
"No!" Light shouted. " I have to go back to my brother! He must be looking for me right now!" L stared at the boy as he rush towards the door, but he suddenly fell down. L rush to his side and carried him towards the bed.
"You shouldn't force yourself…."
"But….m – my brother…." Light muttered. Tears were forming in his eyes. He just want to go back into his brother's side again.
"Shhh…. sleep" L muttered softly at the boy's ear. "I'll look for your brother. Now tell me, what is your name?"
Light felt his eyelids grew heavy and before he fell into unconsciousness he muttered his name.
"Yagami Light"

L stared at the monitor that is in front of him. He was to do his job right now, and yet he couldn't help but think of the boy named Yagami Light. He already searched information about the boy and what he found out was not very nice at all. Light's uncle died in a fire accident at his own apartment and his brother was currently missing and presumed dead. L couldn't help but pity the boy. But, life is hard.
He sighed tiredly. He didn't know how to tell the boy that his brother was dead and that he has no longer any family relatives. But, L couldn't help but smile as he saw the boy's test scores. Light was very smart indeed. Always on the top of his class and his I.Q were at least 214. He had the same I.Q as L when he was his age.
L stood up and went towards the boy's room. He should probably tell it sooner. He took a deep breath and went out of the room to go to Light's room.

When L got into Light's room, he saw the boy staring at the window. He looks so sorrowful as he stared at the light that reflected the window. It almost made L want to back out of the room. Almost.
"I see that you are awake" L said in monotone. The boy looked at him with a slight hint of hope in his eyes. 'Oh, I hate being the bearer of bad news' L thought sorrowfully.
"M –my brother? Did you find him? Was he looking for me?" Light asked hopefully.
L looks down at the floor. He was afraid to look at the boy in the eyes. "I'm afraid I have some bad news Light – kun"
"B – Bad news?"
"Your brother….is dead…"
L looked at the boy. All hopes began to lose in the boy's eyes and slowly tears were formed in his eyes.
"No….it must be some kind of mistake….nii – chan's not dead…." Light muttered. Tears were falling into his eyes. "No!"
L tried to calm the teen. He was shock to see the boy break down in front of him. He always sees people break down but it was only in front of the camera. He never seen them crying right in front of him.
"Nii –chan! N – Nii – chan!" Light shouted as he griped the white sheets of his bed. He would never see his brother again. He would never see him smile.
L couldn't help it anymore. It was all too much. He grabbed the boy's arm and hugged him. Light was shocked but he couldn't move away. He felt safe in the other man's arms.
"It's okay…you can cry…" L whispered. He knew that this wasn't much but at he want to help the teen by lessening his frustrations.
And with that, Light cried into the man's shoulders. He never knew how that man did it to him, but he felt safe in the man's arms.
'Even just for a little while, I want to lessen your problems'
