Cancer | Death Note

Chapter 13

The next morning, Light woke up and saw L trembling and shaking, consisting of his hands and feet. He gulped, thinking this probably not that bad. He breathed in and then out, doing so for 10 minutes and then spoke to L. "L, it's alright. Just relax." He told him, putting his hands on his shoulders. The whole time, L kept feeling this way and when going to chemotherapy, it still made him do so. Near saw this and hugged him, thinking he must be cold and needs some warmth.

"You'll be better, L. I promise." He said, hugging him and stroked his left cheek. During the chemotherapy appointment for the day, L was literally tired still and very lethargic as well, feeling like he was just not able to function properly. Near and Light made sure he was going to be alright and held his hands. Light went to get him a tea that has ginger and when he came back with it, he handed him the cup and he accepted it.

"Ugh..." L groaned, feeling sick to his stomach in a very nauseating way again. That same day, he was resting his eyes a lot at home. Not long after and heard sniffling from under the blanket. He saw that it was Light and didn't know what to say. He hugged him and kissed his forehead, stroking his hair. "It's okay, Light. Everything will be okay." He said, kissing him some more.

"It's not okay. I had a horrible dream that you were dying of cancer and at first, I thought the dream itself was real, but then when I saw it was a dream, I knew I was able to do whatever and with that being said, I ended my own life in the dream, because I couldn't live in a world without you. Lawliet, I love you so much..." Light sobbed, explaining what happened and cried harder.

L formed a line in his mouth, feeling bad for his boyfriend and the love of his life, knowing everything will be fine, including him. Later that night, L was eating yogurt that Watari made and enjoyed it a lot. More than the store bought stuff. Light was staring into his plate and Near was eating. Roger and Watari were eating, but also talking to each other. Light knew his dream felt real and didn't want to be eating at all, as he wanted to cry some more. He went to the deck slowly, sitting down to cry. He remembered he had his journal there and started to write in it.

August 3, 2007

I feel sad again. My dream I had with L felt real. He died from cancer in that dream and even though it was a dream, I couldn't help but be scared even more so. There was no way I could even talk to him again. Of course, I can't just end my life once again. If I did so, I'm basically going to hell for suicide and I don't want to deal with what the devil will do to me. Maybe it's for the best if I just leave everyone alone, including L. They'll not miss me and I'm sure as hell, my sadness will get better naturally.

With that being said, Light started packing his all of things, belongings included and placed them all into his backpack and luggage as well. No more having to fear himself over L, no more of everything and everyone in his life. He was practically done. He took a cab to the airport as he knew he will be in Spain. Why there, you ask? He always loved the country and has always wanted to go there since he was a child. He even knows Spanish from there as well as Catalán and other languages they have. At the airport, he asked for one ticket to Spain and was given it as it was the last one and he accepted it.

Let's do this. He said to himself, going to his flight. A few days later at headquarters, the Task Force were talking and as they were doing so, Roger, Watari and Near showed up. L had his chemotherapy appointment but is aware of what's going on. "What's going on?" Aizawa asked, surprised to see these three show up.

"We're looking for Light. Have you seen him, Mr. Aizawa?" Near asked him and he shook his head no, thinking what he was talking about.

"My son has gone missing! Everyone, don't panic!" Soichiro shouted from the top of his lungs, clearly terrified now.

"AHHHH!!!!" Matsuda shouted, mostly because this was necessary and not because of his future father in law's last words there. Everyone started searching for Light. Even Sayu and Sachiko did as well. L was out of chemotherapy early at this point and started looking for Light.

"We have no idea where he is." Sayu said, telling the Task Force and her family this as she was placing her hands in her face and she started crying. Matsuda confronted her, placing his hand around her shoulder and hugged her, allowing her to cry. Soon, everyone started crying and blaming themselves for this whole shit show. L was the one who cried the most and knew Light was definitely hiding somewhere, planning his suicide again and ending his life once again.

"God, bring me my son. That's all I'm asking you to do." Soichiro sobbed, folding his hands as he prayed to the lord himself. We then see Light as he is settling in Spain after being there for a week. Ryuk flew by the human world for fun and happened to be in Spain. He was in Barcelona and saw Light there. He was wearing a pair of shorts and a temperature based shirt with sneakers on.

"Hey, Light." Ryuk greeted his human best friend with a smile on his face. Light looked at him, wondering why he just spoke to him in English.

"¿Hola? ¿Te conozco? (Hi? Do I know you?)" He said, not sure what the Shinigami had just said.

"Light, it's me, Ryuk. We are best friends, don't you remember me?" He told him in English some more, not knowing Spanish from Spain, Mexico and Latin America as he never spoke these versions and dialects at all.

"¿Qué? No sé nada de inglés. Lo siento. (What? I don't know any English. Sorry.)" He answered, then walked away and Ryuk hovered above him as usual. "¿Podría dejarme en paz, por favor, Sr. Monster? (Will you please leave me alone, Mr. Monster?)" He told him, getting annoyed. Ryuk didn't understand that still, but flew away and went to Japan instead.
