(a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon
1. L used to think that having parents would be amazing. But then he saw what Yagami-kun's family did to him and he was glad he was an orphen.
2. L wondered how Yagami-san could be so blind to his son's faults, until the first time Light smiled at him and really meant it. Then he wondered how he could be such a fool, but he couldn't change it.
3. L was afraid that dying would hurt. He didn't believe in life after death, and he wasn't afraid of not existing anymore. He was just afraid it would hurt. When the time came, he learned that he was right.
**********
1. When he was little, Light wanted to be a boat captain. He loved looking at the pictures of the boats and imagining them crossing the ocean. He was six the first time he heard his parents talking about him being a police office like his father. He threw away his favorite sailboat book the next day.
2. When he was in the third grade, Light got into a fight with one of the other kids in school. He came home with a black eye and a bloody lip. He told his dad that he was trying to protect one of the other kids and his father was proud of him. He never forgot that.
3. Light didn't like alcohol. It made him feel out of control and he never liked to be out of control. The night after L's funeral, he drank an enough sake to drown out the apologies from the rest of the team, the memory of L's eyes as the light went out of them, and the sound of Ryuk's laughter. No one ever said anything to him about it.
*****************
1. Ryuk was a little afraid of Yagami Light. He'd never expected a human to be so good at dealing death. It reminded him that although helpless in many instances, humans were a truly terrifying species.
2. Ryuk knew the moment Light and L made eye contact that the game was just beginning. He wondered if the two boys really had any idea of what they were getting themselves into.
3. Sex was not something Ryuk really understood. He knew that it led to propagation of a species, but the way that L and Light engaged in it spoke more about war and domination and violence than love and the future. It intrigued him more than he would ever be able to express, but he was glad that he had the chance to observe.
(Hmmm, a bit adult in places.)
