Lawlight

Boo

Light's POV

"Light!! Are you there~! I found your watch!" I closed Ryuzaki's mouth with my hand. Shit shit shit!

We were both soaked in the dark sitting on the ground. If she saw us it would be over. I heard Misa walking towards the bathroom. "Ugh why is it so dark in here?" I tried to not move and hoping she wouldn't see us. As I was trying to hold in my breath but my hand slipped off Ryuzaki's mouth. I saw his figure in the dark running towards the door. What the hell?!

"Psst! Ryuzaki what the fuck?!" I saw him kneel down next to the door. And saw Misa coming in. This is it. Everything's over- "BOO!".

"AAAAHHHH! HELP!!A GHOST!" I heard Misa screaming and running and felt something grab my hand. "Come on Light. We don't have much time." We rushed outside leaving little water puddles after us.

...

After running for a good 10 minutes Ryuzaki stopped and looked at me with his eyes wide open. "Light...Where are the chains?"

L's POV

This was bad. Everything was going downhill. Watari should probably be watching us right now. "Light, we need to go tell Watari." Light was suprised. "Huh? What are we going to tell him...?" In this situation I had two options. I either told Watari everything, or made up an excuse on why we were both wet and didn't have our chains on. Light would probably wouldn't like the first one. We couldn't go back in there. Misa probably got everyone to check the "ghost".

I grabbed Light's hand and ran towards where the surveillance cameras, where Watari was. I could see that the door was already open. We both were dried up from all the running by now. We rushed inside and saw watari looking at us. "Watari we-" he cut me off and grabbed my hand. Cuffing mine and Light's wrist in new handcuffs. "Later, Ryuzaki." He probably understood we didn't have much time.

We ran towards the headquarters and sat down on our chairs. Waiting for the others to get back and act like we were here the whole time. Didn't know what was going on. I glanced over Light and saw him covering his face with his hands. He probably wasn't expecting all this to happen. I reached my hand out to his shoulder- "LIIGHT! HERE YOU ARE!! You can't believe what just happened!!" I turned around to see Misa dashing towards Light with his arms wide open. Mogi, Matsuda and Light's father were behind her.

"What happened?" Light asked while Misa was dragging onto his shirt. She blabbed about the ghost she saw and didn't let Light go.

Matsuda's POV

I was trying to act like I didn't hear Light and Ryuzaki talking about "Kira". I was joking around and laughing on the outside but I was panicking. And I had no doubts. They were definitely in that shower. I don't know how they replaced those chains so fast but those water puddles, and the chains sitting in the corner...

"Here! Light! I found your watch!" And that. Why would Light's watch be there if he wasn't in there? I had to tell the others as soon as possible. I don't know what... relationship they had but they were hiding something about the investigation. That was not okay.

I was already tired making preparations for Higuchi. This was really not needed. Sigh.

Light's POV

The day was finally over. I sat on the bed with my back leaning on the wall. I didn't know what to do. How was I suppose to stop myself. From turning back into Kira. Ryuzaki told me he had to talk with Watari. I know Watari trusts him and probably wouldn't be suspicious but... I had a bad feeling in my stomach.

I waited and waited for him to come but Ryuzaki wasn't around. I got up and walked towards where Watari was. The surveillance room. I got up the stairs trying to be as quiet as I could and saw the door. It was closed. They were probably in there.

I tip-toed towards the door and stood in front of it. I could hear them a little from here. I put my ear against the wall and closed my eyes.

"What are you hiding from me, Ryuzaki...?"

"Watari, please just stay out of this...-"

I heard footsteps before everything was silent. What were they doing in there?

"...Remember your purpose. You are not allowed to act on your own. You have a job to do and I believe in you."

Huh? Purpose? What was he talking about...

"If you get distracted, and mess this up, you know what I will have to do."

I heard Ryuzaki...Sobbing?! What the fuck was Watari doing?! And why was Ryuzaki...crying...

"I don't remember allowing you to cry now, Ryuzaki. Get your priorities straight! What's wrong with you!"

I was so close to bang the door open and kick Watari. I was really not expecting...this! How dare he...!

I heard footsteps coming towards the door and I ran back to the bedroom. I got under the covers pretending to sleep.

L's POV

Why was I crying... I walked towards our room and looked over to see Light already curled up under the sheets. He probaby fell asleep since he couldn't get any sleep because of me these 3 days. I smiled a little and climbed onto the bed. I turned my back to Light and finally put my head onto the pillow, holding my knees with my hands. I closed my eyes. Why did I have to be L.

The all mighty L. He had no emotions. No sympathy. He was the best at his work. I was tired of people labelling me like this. Like a robot. Under all those fancy names layed a human but no one cared. Or so I thought before I met him.

I became emotionally attached to him. He broke the barrier that I was made to put against everyone. He finally saw through the mask I created. Light told me the same words talking about himself. I guess we both managed to dig each other from this image other people put up for us.

But Watari was right. If I let this barrier slip even a little, everything would crumble down. I would loose at the end. I believed I could pass this and leave this all behind when I had Light with me but Watari...

I started quietly sobbing unintentionally. This was unexpected. I clenched my hands and just wanted to disappear. I was falling apart. The pressure was too much. How could I let myself get this weak. I was tired of being used by others as a tool. A key to unsolve their problems. Tired of trying to hide, keep these feelings under control. When I was with him, I didn't need to worry about anything. He didn't expect all these stupid things from me.

I wanted someone to free me from this hell. Someone to save me. See the real me. I wanted this to happen. But not like this.

Watari was mad at me for deleting that footage. And I was mad at myself.

I loved Light. I love him so much but... I fear that if Kira comes back... Kira didn't feel. But Light did.

I wanted to die. I was tired of feeling sorrow, sadness, loneliness in this meaningless world. But with Light, for the first time I actually wanted to live. Live with him. Laugh with him. Feel him. Only if we could just run away...

But L wasn't allowed to feel. He wasn't allowed to think about himself. He wasn't allowed to die. To love.

I felt two arms hugging me from behind. I felt Light's warmth cuddling me and squeezing me tight from behind under the sheets. I turned around and looked at him with tears in my eyes. He was smiling with sorrow.

He slowly put his lips onto mine. Grabbing my waist and pulling me in closer.

I put my head on his shoulder and the last thing I felt was Light before I closed my eyes into emptiness, finally after a long time.
