{Lights POV}
I'd never been in a coma before and people say they have intricate dreams and hallucinations but I can tell you first hand... it simply isn't true.
I remember closing my eyes and then what felt like seconds after opening them again.

However I didn't remember closing my eyes in a hospital bed and that's where I was at that moment.

My fever from earlier had died down, now only a faint thump in the back of my head and a slight temperature, but I was still shaking. I looked around frantically, where's L? I just saw him, was I dreaming?

In my panic a pale boney hand reached out and delicately placed itself over me.

"Light?" There it was the voice, his voice, the one I had been dreaming of all these years and now not only a voice but a hand, an arm, a body, a soul, someone had finally answered me.

"What?" I whispered to myself. L gripped my hand and looked me in the eyes, I couldn't look back.

I wanted to lock eyes with him, look at his perfect face and just tell him how much I'd missed him, how I still loved him but I couldn't.

"No. You don't love me, you never did, and that never made me happy." I whimpered pathetically, like a child facing their biggest fear.

L starred back an ominous, icy stare. "I was raped Light." He muttered and I froze in his tightening grip. "I left you that day because of the constant reminder, I couldn't live there. I couldn't!" His voice got gradually louder as he unleashed emotion I never thought he had.

"Y-you would've never understood Light!" Then he started whispering with tears streaming down his face, "I had to go, I'm sorry."

If I were God in that moment I would've forgiven all of his sins. I propped myself up in the highly unsanitary hospital bed and hugged his thinning body. Then the most beautiful words I've ever heard left his mouth:

"I love you Light, I always did."
