Idiosyncratic (Light Yagami × L Lawliet)

Chapter Five

They retreated into their hotel room after several hours, eyes almost stinging from the bright comouter screens throughout the day. It wasn't late, the clock only read seven, but Light felt exhausted.

Until the realization hit him, he'd now get to be alone with L. This thought immediately made flutters in his chest, ears burning with both innocent and vulgar thoughts.

L pinned me to the wall gently, beginning to kiss me. My head the turning away slightly, looking at the door. L looked at me, concerned. I shook my head, and leaned into the kiss. L intertwined his hands with mine and we deepened the kiss. Rem, Misa's Shinigami, glared at me, her boney fingers cracking with her clenched hands as she disappeared. I gulped, pulling away, panting. "Ryuzaki.." He looked into my eyes. "Light-Kun." He smiled innocently. I fell onto him, claiming dominance. The couch caught our fall smoothly, another heated kiss stirring.

L's body curled up against mine in the dark. Knowing he broke through his insomnia and is sleeping from sheer exhaustion, I embraced the silence and sighed. I looked down at L, who was laying into my chest. I continued to stare at the ceiling, pondering. What will this do to us? You know, humans easily fall in love. Not taking anyone's side here, but you know it's best to let him go. I glared at Ryuk and looked back at Ryuzaki. A pang of pain struck my chest as I drifted off to sleep.

Fingers brushed lightly at my nose, causing me to stir. I opened one eye at a time, greeted by the light and the angelic man who lay beside me. "It's time to get up. And maybe for an alarm clock." I chuckled at his humor. The handcuffs rattled lightly as I rose to my unsteady feet. "I called a day off yesterday. The Task Force needed rest, as did you and I. It was in the memo." His lips pull at a smug smile. "Ah, the memo." I roll my eyes, falling back into the bed, as did he. We both decided one more hour for me wouldn't hurt.

'Images of pain and despair flash though like an unfinished movie. Deleted scenes. L sitting how he adorably sits, holding his spoon to his steaming cup of sugary tea.

His eyes jerk open

He falls

He clutches his chest, pain riddling his eyes before he tightly shut them, gasping for air

I fall with him, cradling his body, a year cascading down my face. Misa glared expectantly across the room, peering being the wall with those menacing red shinigami eyes. I wipe my true feelings away, pulling off a smirk.

A smirk.

A smirk as my love was dying, disappointment, betrayal, disbelief embedded in his expression as he read my lips, his hearing fading.

I am Kira.

My heart also felt as if it were contorting in pain, the life in his eyes fading away.

Misa smiles and fades, the tears I've been trying to hold in fall as I hug L to my chest, sobbing loudly as I fade as well.'

I gasp, my body jerking upwards, sweat layering my skin, my stomach lurching with sudden nausea, tears clouding my eyes. Sudden footsteps rush at me, L by my side. "Light! Light, what happened?" He held onto me. "There-you-I.." I gasp for air. L shushed me. "It was just a nightmare Light. You're safe with me." L kisses my lips. The panic and stress release, a calm pace to my heartbeat beginning.

Yeah. Short chapter I know. The inspiration was good while it lasted. The next chapter you will hate Misa. I'm just saying. Hate her forever 😈
