I fall to my knees next to Light. I gently pull his head onto my lap. The nurse is shouting orders and asking for more supplies next to me. I kiss Light on the top of his head with tears running down my face.
Light groans. His eyes slowly open.
"Where am I?"
I grin through the tears. "Hush baby. It's okay. You're safe with me."
At the sound of my voice, Light looks up at my face. He lifts his arm, placing his hand on my face. His fingers wipe away my tears.
"Angels shouldn't cry."
"Well it's a good thing that I'm not an angel."
Light frowns. "You're my angel."
"How am I your angel?"
"Boys! You can chat later. I need to take Light to the hospital." The woman interrupts.
I snap back to where I am.
"Okay. How can I help?"
Light
A lot of that day is blurry in my memory. There are some points that I remember in sharp detail, but most of it is missing.
I remember arriving at the lodge. I remember the first few hits. I remember parts of Father's last stand.
I remember seeing an angel. A beautiful, raven-haired angel.
I remember feeling the angel's hand in mine. It stayed there for a long time. That hand was the only thing keeping me conscious.
Eventually though, the angel's hand left mine, and everything went black.
Light Later After He Has Woken Up And Been Awake For A While
Daytime television sucks. So many soap operas…not to my taste.
Ryuzaki hasn't been in to visit since I woke up. It's beena week. I've tried asking for him, but nobody knows where he is. The team can't even get a hold of Watari.
I miss him.
Matsuda came in to visit me today. He apologized for taking a shot that could have hurt me. He didn't believe me when I forgave him for it.
Sighing, I tried to stretch for the remote. I gasped in pain and fell back onto the pillows, closing my eyes tightly.
After a few minutes of deep breathing, I slowly opened them again. A pair of dark eyes stared back into mine, inches away.
"Ryuzaki!"
"Shhh." He held his finger to his lips. "I don't want anyone to know that I'm here."
"Why?"
He smiled and placed his hand on the side of my face.
"You ask too many questions."
"Isn't that what you like about me?" I reach for Ryuzaki's other hand to intertwine with my own.
He laughes. "Of course."
"Can I just ask one question? Besides this one." I ask hesitantly.
"Only if I can ask one in return."
"Of course. Where…where are you going from here? After this?"
His smile turns down at the edges, and his eyes dim.
"I have no idea. I do know that I'm supposed to be there now."
"So…you're just going to leave?"
L's POV!
Light's eyes are filling with tears as he asks this. I reach down to wipe them away with my thumb.
"No, I'm not going to just leave. I think that it's time for a vacation anyways."
I lean down to kiss the tip of Light's nose.
"Alright, it's my turn to ask a question."
He nods.
"You called me an angel a while back. How am I an angel?"
Light's grin returns, and he tugs on our hands. The motion pulls me down even closer to his face.
"Because, Ryuzaki. You have saved me in more ways than I can count."
He tugs again on our hands, closing the gap between our lips.
Future! Light is Home and Physically Healed!
"Father, don't hit me! Please!"
A snarl escaped the Chief's lips.
"You don't want to be hit, huh? Well, if you insist."
A young Light is tossed to the floor. He tries to crawl to his feet, but the Chief sends a vicious kick to Light's chest.
"Is that better?" He slurs.
I jump up. My entire body is shaking and covered in sweat. There are arms wrapped around me. I have to get out, I have to-
Sleepy eyes stare into mine.
"Calm down sweets. I'm here, and he won't hurt you ever again."
I collapse into Ryuzaki's arms, shuddering as sobs escape me.
L's POV
I slowly stroke his hair as I rock us back and forth. These dreams were coming less and less often, but they still terrified Light. He'd stopped screaming and trying to run off, but he was still haunted by the nightmares. The doctors say that they'll continue on for years.
As the minutes pass, Light begins to fall back asleep in my arm. I smile, pressing my lips against his head.
"Ryuzaki?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Light
I begin to drift off again in his arms, before awakening for a final question.
"Do you promise that you'll always be my angel?"
He sits me up to look straight into my eyes.
"I promise that I will forever and always be your angel."
He kissed me then, a slow, soft kiss.
Forever and always my angel.
This…this is the last chapter guys. Unless you can somehow convince me of an amazing storyline from here, 'Remember Mi' is finished. That is both incredibly sad and exciting. How was the sappy ending?
Thank you to those who were here from start to finish, or the people only just finding this. Reviews are greatly appreciated! They are like presents on Christmas!
