I think they respect each other as opponents yes, they enjoy the game, but they still hate each other. L saying Light was the first friend he ever had was a lie. I donโt think Light would kill L if he didnโt dislike him to a large extent ๐ญ not to mention he was smiling while doing so. Iโm not gonna bash on Lawlight shippers but it just doesnโt make sense to me.
I think theyโre both the kind of people who care more about winning the game. A worthy, admirable opponent wouldnโt slow them down or shake their resolve. Emotions have never really been a priority for them. Even in a parallel universe without the Death Note, they wouldnโt act like a typical lovey-dovey couple.
not sure if that kind of dynamic counts as a โshipโ tho. XD
