[At first, it doesn't sound so different from what Light might say at any other point in time. Then, it sounds jarring; it sounds daring.

It sounds insane; it sounds impossible. L's eyes widen as he doubts what he just heard, has to replay, and double-check, and question and reexamine.

He feels elation first. Then faintness, then anger, then something else in the pit of his stomach that tightens and aches and pulls at him.]


...I know.

[His voice is tense and quiet. He hates that he has to say it out loud; he hates that this had to be said, he hates what it might change now that it's out, and how did it come out? What is this potion, really?]

I've always known.

[He reaches out, grasping hard and desperate, a human handcuff closing around Light's wrist. Don't leave. Don't run. He's pulling Light closer as the words run through his mind like a skipping record, in his shock.]

Someday we're both going to die because we met each other, but... not here.

[The qualifier, "here", is the treaty, and binding. His breath quickens and he shifts forward, closes the gap between them in haste, leans in for a kiss as hungry as it is strange.

Here.

That's why I'm keeping you, here.
