Warnings: I think there's maybe one cuss word...for once. By Tobi, of course.
Author Notes: Well, everyone...This is it. The end. I know. About time, right? XD Anyway, epilogue is short and sweet. Be happy, the second part wasn't originally included, but I decided to go into a tiny bit of detail about the boys' new gifts. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: See Ch. 2.
I love you.
L looked at the grave and shook his head. He felt a tear roll down his cheek, then a thumb swipe under his eye. He looked to where Matsuda was standing next to him and smiled, but only a bit. A small thank you. It shouldn't have been this hard.
After L had killed Mikami, his followers had fled the manor, only to be tracked down later by Overseer Gevanni and his Children. L then brought Light back home to be buried. Now, here he was. Matsuda had dropped his hand and laced his and L's fingers. Matsuda's other arm was wrapped around Tobi, whose head was lying on Matsuda's shoulder. Tobi would sniff every so often and Matsuda would whisper things that even L couldn't catch. Not that was trying to, at this point.
Eventually, the three of them turned away, heading back up the path. A little way down, L spotted a male just standing there. He gave them a small wave as they got closer. They tore off to him, not caring and ready to see him. To know he was there.
"Hey. Sorry, looking at my own grave is weird and creepy in ways I can't even explain."
Light sent the three of them an apologetic look, running a hand through his hair. L wrapped his arms around his Mate. "It's okay. We forgive you."
Tobi whined and wrapped his arms around them both. "I don't. You made me cry."
Matsuda snorted and wrapped his arms around L and Tobi, since his arms wouldn't quite reach completely around them all. "You'll get over it."
Light squeaked. "C-can't breathe."
There was a collective, "You don't need to breathe", and Light pouted, trying to wiggle away from them. He did eventually, and the four of them headed home.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Light laughed as, once again, Matsuda's shoes went flying over his head, making the older vampire have to fly to get them. Tobi was really getting the hang of his Telekinesis gift. As if he didn't have enough ways to annoy Matsuda now. And it wasn't long before the shoes went flying out of Matsuda's arms again.
"Damn it, Tobi! You're going to make me late for work!"
"As if you need to work! Ha, ha, ha!"
L snorted. "He has to get away from you somehow."
Tobi pouted, then smirked evilly. "Light! Catch!"
Light barely had time to react as the shoes came flying at him. Instinctively, Light threw his hands up...and the shoes burst into flames, falling to the floor. Light winced and Matsuda sighed and went to his and Tobi's room to find another pair of shoes.
"Shit! Light put it out!"
L and Light hurried over to the flames on the carpet and Light threw his hands out again. Luckily, his powers decided to be kind and the flames iced over. He let out a relieved sound and looked over at L, who was shaking his head.
Matsuda came running through the room again, kissing Tobi on the cheek. "Bye! Have fun with the ice block!" And out the door he went.
L, Light, and Tobi looked at each other a second before L attempted to pick up the frozen flames. He succeeded, because this time they hadn't frozen the floor, too. He hissed softly at the cold and hurried to the kitchen, to dump the ice in the sink.
Light looked down as L came back into the living room. He sighed softly. This Elemental thing was supposed to be fun and different, but so far, it was only causing problems. And he was nowhere near getting the hang of it.
Light sat down on the couch, his Mate sitting beside him. L must have sensed his distress, because he leaned against Light and kissed his neck. Light shivered and he felt L grin against his skin. Both he and Tobi had small scars across their necks where Mikami and Misa had literally torn them open. Since both of them had been brought across, the spots there hyper-sensitive to touch. Matsuda could -breathe- over Tobi's neck and the younger vampire was all over him. Of course, L could do the same to Light, too. ...Except L preferred to use his tongue instead.
Tobi smiled at the two of them, and soon after, he left the room. Light heard small exploding sounds in Tobi and Matsuda's room, not too long after, telling him that Tobi had gone to play video games.
Light settled against the back of the couch, L lying over his chest. It felt so weird to him. Being a vampire, but feeling completely at peace. Now that there was nothing for them to worry about. No danger. It was nice to just...relax.
However, it wasn't too long before he felt L's fangs scrape over his neck. Light started turning red and he jumped up, making L growl. "We aren't doing this in here. I don't care if Tobi is in his room."
L purred and nodded, content with moving. He stood and took Light by the hands, pulling him to their room. Light soon found himself without his clothes and L sprawled atop him, nuzzling his neck.
"I love you, Light."
The younger vampire smiled, kissing the top of L's head. "And I love you, Lawliet."
"Always," came the whispered reply, as L dragged his fangs over Light's pulse.
Light gasped out an agreement, eyes fluttering shut as his Mate's fangs slid into his neck.
"Always."
The End! Obviously. Leave a review and let me know how you liked it.
