Warning: Shounen-ai

Pairing: Light x L

Disclaimer: They're not mine

Act

It happened exactly as he had planned. Rem would be dead, all obstacles would now be gone. Light had won. He was suppose to feel victorious, but there was only a frozen sensation that washed his body in numbness as he watched his nemesis's eyes widen in shock and pain; as L toppled to the cold tile floor. He remembered, for an instant, the secret kisses they had shared; the love he had told Ryuuzaki he had felt. Light had told himself he was lying, just getting closer to his enemy and gaining trust, he continued to lie; to L, to the world, to himself.

'Light-kun...'

He banished the memories of awkward embraces and a shared bed, of handcuffs with a chain that always tangled with the blankets and the two of them. He willed away the unimportant thoughts; rushing to the dying man on the ground.

L's eyes widened one last time, stretching to impossible sizes before drifting closed for eternity.

Light screamed; shouted and yelled, pretending to be upset. He was supposed to act this way, it was part of the plan. His ears heard his cries, and the shock of the men surrounding him, listened to himself as he promised to avenge the death of the man in his arms. He had to act distraught, he felt like he was dying, as if remorse was feasting upon his body. It was supposed to be this way, it was all calculated, the death, the false mourning.

Light hadn't included in his plan was that he was no longer acting.
