Regrets

PG for well…character death.

Angst

I do not own Death Note

Light Yagami can't remember how to breathe—it seemed painful now and his thoughts aren't clear anymore, either. He's gripping at the edges between eternal damnation and darkness and life; and he wants to live.

He had it all just only a few weeks ago; everything was going perfectly and he was sure that Near and Mello would die and he would come out victorious, just like when he faced L. Yet, Near won and he lost and Light does not like that; losing was not in his vocabulary. Everything shattered before him and he's in pain, he's bleeding and he thinks he sees L.

"Do you regret this?" He thinks he's going insane, seeing L there; he reaches out, L. L can save him, right? L. The detective. His enemy and for a little bit of time, his friend; the same person who knew off the bat that he was Kira. "You killed your own father, you used two women and one man. People have died because of you. Do you regret this?"

Light can't understand; L's lips are moving and he can't hear his words. "F…fa…father…"

"Light-kun…you killed your own father." That stings, because, he knows he does yet it sounds so untrue and his life flashes before his eyes and he can't breathe. His heart jerks and he feels a searing pain. He wants it to stop because he's God now, and God can never die. God can't die because he's an immortal being, worshipped, well respected—feared.

"G…Go…God…I'm…" his hearts quickening. How much longer does he have? Ryuk…betrayed him. "I'm…God…"

As his vision fades away and does L, Light comes to a realization.

"I regret nothing."

Critique (constructive) is very much welcomed and needed.
