20 Truths about Soichiro Yagami
Title: 20 Truths about Soichiro Yagami
Author: kazokuhouou
Claim: Soichiro Yagami (movie version)
Rating: PG for mention of death and whatnot
Notes: SPOILERS for the two Death Note movies and L's real name.
1.Sometimes, Soichiro dreams of himself in flamboyant costumes eating a yellow bell pepper. That’s mildly disturbing.
2.If he didn’t know better, he swore Matsuda had a schoolboy crush on him.
3.Deep down inside, he knew all along his son was Kira. He just never wanted to admit it.
4.The reason he didn’t want to admit it is because he thinks that it’s his fault Light went down this road.
5.He did find it disconcerting that they take orders from a childish boy who eats nothing but sweets.
6.Sometimes, Soichiro just wanted to smack Ryuzaki.
7.Soichiro regrets not getting to Sakura TV sooner. If he had gone a little bit faster, Mogi may have still been alive.
8.He did not like how the shinigami looked at him.
9.Nothing haunted Soichiro’s thoughts more than watching Light write his name in the Death Note. If L hadn’t taken the risk and written his own name in the Death Note, he would be dead right now, killed by his own son.
10.Admittedly, the first thing that ran through his head when Ryuzaki showed him his name was ‘what kind of name is L Lawliet?’.
11.As far as he knows, he’s the only person in the world (still alive, that is) that knows L’s real name, and he feels honored that Ryuzaki trusted him enough to tell him
12.He was also the last person to see Ryuzaki alive. And he insisted on taking care of Ryuzaki’s resting place. In fact, he threatened to shoot someone for suggesting otherwise, much to everyone’s surprise. (He did apologize afterward though. He is a gentleman, after all)
13.Sometimes, L felt like a second son.
14.Ever since L died, Soichiro hasn’t been able to eat sweets.
15.He keeps tabs with Misa, feeling guilty that she got swept up in this mess, and losing her only love in the process. He makes sure she’s eating all right, hasn't killed herself, that sort of thing.
16.He is one of a few people who knows Light was Kira. He is the only one that was related to Light. That’s a burden of knowledge that may very well kill him.
17.He had thought of taking a bullet to his head once. He was lucky Matsuda stopped him.
18.The five of them-himself, Aizawa, Sanami, Ukita, and Matsuda-have become close friends after the Kira case, and for that Soichiro’s grateful. He never was much of a social butterfly, and becoming mildly antisocial after the case didn’t help either.
19.Every year, on the anniversary of Light’s death, Soichiro takes the day off, goes to a shrine, and prays for Light’s soul. He knows damn well it will do nothing, and Light deserved whatever hell he gets, but it’s his son. He can’t find it in his heart to hate him.
20.When Soichiro dies at a shooting in 2009, it was because Ryuk wrote his name in the Death Note. Hey, Ryuk found it hilarious.
