Hello! So... I've made this into a two-shot. Just a few notes on it- This chapter's from Light's point of view, and takes place at L's grave. Enjoy, and sorry for the wait!
PS. L Lawliet Lover especially. :)

Midnight falls in the graveyard. Shadows, both true and deceptions of the night, dance along the pavements as the bitter, cold air silently possesses everything in its way. It whistles as it runs throughout the barren trees. The moon silently watches each footstep, each breath we take. My father's footsteps match mine for a single moment, then as he slows down, they mix in with the random yet abstractly harmonious clack- clacks of everyone else's leather shoes again. Slowly, I lift my head up after the footsteps fade to silence- we've stopped. A brand new grave stands before us- it's blank, with only the occasional speck of soil lying on top.
Another life lost. Another burden of unnecessary emotions and failure. Another weight on the world...
Or that's what I would say.
This morning, I was given the letter found next to his dead body; and at that moment, my life drained away and my world slipped from my fingers. It faded away...
No. I shake my head and try to snap out of it. I have to stop being silly- I can't let something as small as this get in the way of my utopia. I have to be less sentimental...
...A little more like him?
Matsuda's the first to react. I think to the rest of us, it still seems like a dream. Yesterday, Ryuzaki was fine. He even smiled at me... Why did I have to be so hard on him?
'Because it's business, Light. The police headquarters is no social gathering...' I'm trying so hard to forget, think logically about this. To think about...
...What he would do...
It's at this moment the trees finally cave in on me, and everything crashes down. Everything makes sense, but it's the most horrible truth I have to live with eternally. The sky spins and so does the ground... I feel sick. I can't see, everything's turning black...
...I love him, but he's never coming back... He'll never know.
There's nothing I can do. It's all over. My life now what seems to be ending, I lose the last inkling of my sanity and howl to the sky.
...And this voice? It's... It's his...
