A/N: My first multi chapter NON MxM fic.. Holy Jeevas! Lol. Ok, but this was begging me to write it.. It won't be too long.. It originally was going to be a one-shot, but I expanded the idea. Ok, so here is the deal.. Each chapter will start with a quote from a horror movie. If you can name the movie it's from, you can have a one-shot of your choice. There are people on 3 sites doing this. So I'll compare time stamps to see who got it first.

Summary: A commits suicide. B runs away. L is left alone again. But, how much is real, and how much is L truly losing his mind? How can he save B, if he doesn't even know if he can save himself? (L/BB)

Disclaimer: For the whole story, cause I suck and remembering to do this. I do not own L, BB, or any other characters. Nor do I own Death Note. I just came up with the twisted idea and borrowed them for my own fun to play with.

Warnings: Again, whole story cause I forget a lot.. Violence, Gore, Sexual Situations, Language.

"It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare."

It was his birthday. October 31, 2001. He was 22 today. For once, he was happy with his life. As a child, he had not known the love of a parent. Until Watari took him in. Even then, he was different. Smarter than the average child. He easily became the top 3 detectives in the world, using 3 different alias'. He had then started an orphanage with Watari. Headed by Roger, they used it to train his successors. In case anything happened to him, L would not die. L would never die. A and B were then brought in. But something unexpected happened..

..He fell in love with "B". His second successor at the time. Beyond Birthday. Was it bad? No, on the contrary. It was great. For the first time, L knew love. The love of a companion. A lover. And he was incredibly happy. Then things started to change on this particular birthday. Beyond was distant. His eyes seemed to grow cold. L tired to reach out, but to no avail.

(-line-)

L jumped as Beyond barged into the room, rushing around. He watched his lover questioningly, as he grabbed a few items.

"Beyond? What's the matter?" He asked. He shifted to step off the bed, away from his computer. Something his lover complained about regularly. His taking work to bed with him. Beyond stopped suddenly, and turned towards him. His lips were twisted into a sadistic smile. Suddenly, L felt himself being shoved hard against the door.

"I don't know." Beyond whispered in his ear, then licking the shell. "I don't feel right, L. I feel like there are bugs crawling over my skin. In my skin. In my brain." L shuddered as warm breath ghosted over his skin.

"Talk to me, Beyond. We'll figure out what's wrong. We can fix it." He tried to reason. The hackle that filled air stunned him. Beyond moved away, but he remained still, afraid as his lover folded into himself, his laughter growing.

"You think I can be fixed, L? And here, I thought you knew me." Beyond's Shinigami eyes locked with his own. In truth, Beyond Birthday scared L to death. The man knew his real name before he had even trusted him. He could easily ruin L's name with the truth and his own high IQ. But love blinded him to the fear for so long, and he was only now just getting a glimpse of why he should rightfully fear his lover.

"I do know you." He spoke softly. Timidly, to not startle his lover. Beyond's face turned serious, and his eyes pierced L's soul.

"What if I don't want to be saved?" He said before turning and walking out once more. L curled in on himself on the bed. His body shook as the cold settled in on him. The cold that had been installed by those menacing eyes. What was wrong with his boyfriend? How could he help him?

"L?" There was a knock on the door. Watari. "Are you alright? I heard yelling." He spoke, concern lacing his voice. L sat up once more.

"Yes, everything is fine, Watari. Thank you." He called back. He would get to the bottom of this. The whole situation felt so unreal. He felt like he was missing a part of a puzzle. Something so small, yet so significant. Determination set in. He would figure it out. He would not lose Beyond.

A/N: So, what do you think so far? I'm real excited about this one right now. It hits real close to home in my heart. I can't say why until the end though. 3 That would ruin it.

-edit- This quote was already guessed correctly from "Halloween" (1978)

I know, this one was easy. They should get better, and I hope to have multiple people, not just one. I don't want to do like 10 one-shots for one person. Lol. Good luck!
