Story:

L lay under the dark starry sky upon the cliff top. A light breeze flew over him ruffling his scruffy black hair.

As he lay watching the stars, Light walked over and stood next to him.

He looked out at the view; many skyscrapers lined the bays as barges and boats floated lazily in and out as a orange and red glow blanked the horizon.

He looked down to L and gave a small smile. He crouched and just watched him.

"Light-kun, do you ever think there is more out there?" L asked softly.

Light frowned and looked up to the sky.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Do you believe there is someone out there for everyone? Someone created for you specifically?" he asked in a quiet thoughtful voice.

"Hmm well I don't really know. I guess so, why do you ask?" Light asked.

L didn't answer for a few minutes, Light thought he never would.

"I…..I'm lonely Light-kun." He said in a weak voice.

Light looked down at him with sympathy. He had known this for a while now.

"I need someone who will care about me and tell me things will be ok." L added.

"Watari does." Light reminded him.

"Not in that way, I….I need a lover. Someone who will make me feel needed." He said looking at him for the first time.

As Light looked down at him he felt L's eyes burn into him, into his very soul.

Slowly he leaned over and placed a feather light kiss upon his lips.

For a minute L was silent then he said in a whisper "Again."

Light lay next to him and kissed him again but a little more firmly this time.

L then turned and wrapped his arms round Light as they kissed; the pure love flowing between them was blindingly obvious.

From a few feet away Watari smiled gently watching them from the car he had driven L there in. When he saw they had fallen asleep he picked up a dark blanket and walked over and placed it over the pair and wished them goodnight then sat back in the car silently watching over his son and soon to be son in law.
