The behemoth jet jerked as it entered turbulence upon beginning is descent into United Kingdom's air space. Light snapped awake and sighed at his surroundings. 'First class flight out to meet a couple of strangers. Wonderful. What's so special about this? It's not like it's the highest MAC score to ever be achieved. That honor belongs to the current monarch of England. She matched with her partner with a 99.4.' Light chuckled slightly at his own musings. 'What? Are they grooming the English to be extremely compatible?'

A flight attendant smiled to Light before whispering with her partner in the seat next to her. "That's him! That's the guy from Japan with two soulmates!"

Shifting his eyes around nervously, Light felt as if the cabin shrunk in size. As his honeyed eyes glazed over the navy blue cabin, decorated with red woods and gold trimming, he realized a horrific discovery; the entire cabin was discreetly stealing glances at him. Save for his two guards. His caramel eyes narrowed in annoyance. 'That awful woman reported me to the press. I figured it would be a big deal in Tokyo… But, really? World wide, This Just In, worthy?'

The grand 747 landed with a small jump. Fairly graceful for gigantic metal beast. The flight attendants started helping passengers unbuckle and retrieve their bags from the compartments. Light stood while sighing, placing a call to his sister. The other end clicked and a cheerful voice greeted him. "Onii! So. I did some digging on your matches. Wow! The caliber of these guys! And both are lookers to boot!"

Shifting his glance around the plane as all the other passengers began departing. "Get to it Sayu. What do I need to know?"

The voice groaned before continuing. "Okay. So get this. One of your matches is some high ranking detective from Interpol. Big time money bags. He's British nobility! With the access you left open; I can tell you that his credit score is perfect. His INS is 111. Which, as you know, is a big deal and significantly higher than your 72. So he sounds like at least a decent person; that or highly accomplished. Blood type: O Negative. Notable traits include: Intelligent, creative, emotionally fortitudinous. He's 179 cm (5'10 1/2)… Oh, Yikes. He's suuuper skinny. He's only 50kg (110 lbs)."

Light cleared his throat as he began to filter out of the plane with the first class passengers. "Alright, alright. Super rich, decent looking but underweight. Got it. What about the other one?"

Sayu hummed as she clicked around. "Oh! Okay! Wow! Onii… He's like a polar opposite of the first one. Okay. So, this one is a Bioengineer for GIN. Wow, alright." Her voice tapered off slightly. "Hey, pick the other guy and leave this one for me!" A light hearted laugh filled the speaker. "Credit score is 759, INS of… Oh, peaches! Ratio, this guys INS is a 150! That's a literal perfect score!"

"Sayu…"

"Right, right! He's 180 cm (5'11) and 66 kg (145 lbs). Blood type: B positive. Notable traits: intelligent, charisma, ambition.

Entering the terminal Light sighed. "I have to let you go… there's press everywhere."

The voice on the other side of the cellphone whined slightly. "I'm super excited for you, but I don't understand why it was so sudden. Why did you have to leave to meet these guys?"

Pausing at the inquiry the brunette man sighed and closed his amber eyes while trying to ignore that his picture was being taken. "Honestly? Between you and me? I think I'm being married off… You know mom is the Prime Minister's daughter. She married dad out of a rebellion. Not that they're marriage is bad, but I think I have a feeling I know who they want me to choose. The bioengineer? I think he's an accidental find."

The voice paused for a moment before speaking in a hushed tone. "Onii-san. You don't have to choose anyone. You can decide you don't like either of them and come home. That's an option too. I know mom is fretting over you being gone so long and dad? Well… he's still hung up on the fact that your matches are men. You know how bad he wants grandchildren."

Before ending the call Light smiled. "I know, Sayu. I'll hear them out, spend some time with them, who knows, if this system is everything it's cracked up to be… Maybe I'll find someone I can tolerate while I get my law degree." They both shared a laugh before saying their goodbyes.

Glancing his honey eyes from from his phone and opened the profiles, examining their photos. Three guards quickly surrounded Light as they made their way through the crowds. A well groomed eyebrow raised when a message was received through the chip's application.

*Welcome to England! I'm Sidney Bell, Dr. Birthday's assistant. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be nosey, but I'm absolutely chuffed to meet you… or anyone who matched with Beyond! I do apologize. Dr. Birthday makes it too easy to access his files while he's distracted. I'll send you the address! Getting him out of his lab has been difficult!'

Smirking at the assistant's enthusiasm Light opened the message. *Thanks… I guess? Why didn't he contact me directly?'

Another reply came quickly with a photo attachment. The photo was of a lower torso sticking out from underneath a large, menacing machine. *Because if I didn't contact you, it's likely he'd 'forget'. He's close to finishing something that would change the world. And says 'if he's interested he'll contact me, until then I see no reason to bother him.' He's going to kill me when he figures out I snatched his cellular to message you. I couldn't help it! It notified him that you had landed!'

The brunette could feel a subconscious smile tug at the edges of his plush lips as he typed back. *Well. I am interested. When can I meet him?'

*Well. Assuming whoever the other match is doesn't sneak you out from under him, right now!'

*I'm supposed to meet him at some café. Would it be possible for him to meet us there by three? I'll send the details.' Light enclosed the address of the meeting place.

Another lightning paced response came. *Oh! I'm sure I could think of an excuse! Give me your cellular number so I can text you from my phone!' Light chuckled and sent his phone number.


Tapping on the table while glancing at the clock. His phone lit up with a text message. *He should be coming in any minute now.'

*How will I know it's him?'

A response came within a few seconds. *You'll know, he's your soulmate after all. He's wearing a black leather coat. Thinks he's clever by wearing sun glasses, I made him brush his hair before he left. I think you can figure it out from there.'

Almost as if on a cue, Light's eyes drifted up to see the exact person from the text's description. *Oh. Here he is.'

*Go introduce yourself! I'm so bloody excited!'

Chuckling at the text message, Light lifted himself from the table and slowly approached the tall, slender man. Light could feel his mind reeling through the possibilities. 'He's tall, dark, mysterious, the profile images aren't the greatest. I wonder what his…' His thoughts stopped dead in their tracks when is shirt became wet and hot. 'Yep. That's coffee on me…'

"Ah. Fuckin' hell! Lucy, I'm sorry… Can I have another one? I'll pay for it… I…" a frustrated sigh was heard with the baristas laughing at the individual. "Whatever. Hang on." A wad of napkins was handed to Light. As the other man fretted on cleaning Light's shirt.

The brunette glanced his eyes up and could feel his pulse quicken at the ebony haired man. A single coffee left in his hand as he attempted to clean the beginning of the stain. Light traced the features of the other man. Obsidian strands fell over hypnotizing ruby like eyes, smooth sun starved skin and shapely lips that even looked soft. He could hear constant apologies. "I'm sorry, what?" Light finally came to.

"I said, is there anything I can do? I can pay for your clothes to be laundered or just replace them entirely."

Light could feel his cheeks start to burn slightly. "How about just looking up for starters."

Vermilion eyes departed the stain and landed into Light's honeyed stare. "Ah. Now I see." Beyond held his hand out to be shaken. "I'm –"

"Beyond Birthday."

The raven narrowed his crimson eyes slightly before quipping back. "No, clumsy and flustered. But sure, my name works too."

Smirking a little to himself, the brunette shook the other's hand. "I didn't mean to deceive you. It's really all your assistant's fault. Will you sit with me? I'm waiting for the other match. I wanted to talk to you both before I proceeded any further with this."

Shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, Beyond followed Light back to his table. His own phone chimed, causing him to glance at it inquisitively.

*1 new message: Sidney*

'Please? Try to make this work. We both know we need a high leveled match for our data. I practically delivered him. We can't complete the hypothesis without a 90th or higher match.'

Beyond sighed slightly as he sat across from Light. "Am I allowed to talk to you before the other guy gets here?" The younger man nodded. "Good. I saw on your profile your current goal is a Law school? Do you have your first degree yet?" The brunette glanced down dejectedly. Feeling a slight tinge of guilt. "No worries. It's hard getting anything done when you first start off. It's a good career. Good choice."

Light smiled and opened his mouth to speak before another dark haired man walked into the café. "Oh. He's here."

Beyond turned to inspect the other. "Oh. Him?! Ha! Okay." The opposing raven arrived at the table and bowed slightly before slouching to a comfortable haunch. "Look, if you're looking for money. Just pick him."

The brunette shot a murderous stare towards the scientist, successfully silencing him. "You must be… L?"

The older male nodded and placed his thumb on his lower lip before pulling it away and speaking. "I am L. What is it you felt the need to discuss with…" his stormy grey eyes landed on Beyond who shifted an uncomfortable glance away. "Both of us?"

Light smiled as L pulled up a chair and awkwardly crouched in it. Causing Light to raise an eyebrow before continuing. "I'm interested in getting to know both of you before making any decision. I'm not interested in spending a lifetime with anyone I do not know, nor get along with. Regardless of material assets. If neither of you are interested, let me know now." Both men remained silent. Both sets of eyes were wide with curiosity. "Okay. I also want you both to know, that this… whole fiasco… was not of my choosing. Something went wrong at the registration office."

Beyond chuckled. "Stupid twat globally searched instead of a radius?" Light nodded uncomfortably and looked back down to the table. "Oh! That's rich!"

L seemed to stare at Beyond before returning his owl like stare towards the brunette again. "So, I wasn't searching for my soulmate. But, I'm sure you both know, it's much easier to maneuver the system if you have a MAC partner. I'll be a little honest, my motives are a little selfish. The school I want to get into needs a MAC score." His caramel eyes lifted expecting to see disgust from the ravens; but was met with the opposite: sympathy. "But! As luck would have it. I have two… soulmates… I guess, that are above the ninety five percent. So, I may as well make the best of it!" The other two males nodded in agreement. "So, since there's two of you and only one of me. I figured I could spend time with both of you. Make kind of a game of it."

The eldest male sighed as his monotoned voice grumbled out. "What are you proposing?"

Smiling happily, Light continued. "I'm basically comparing you both, to see which one will be better for me. If… it's not too bold… maybe…"

Beyond smirked at the brunette's attempt to remain professional. "How about this, we both go home, let's say… Plan a first date, possibly other activities and see where that takes us?" Ruby eyes gleamed deviously towards the brunette. "May the best man for you win. What's the worst that happens? You choose neither of us and you go home with some influential contacts? What do you think big guy?" His mischievous stare landed on L who seemed to be contemplating the idea.

"It's not a horrible idea. It makes it the most fair for Raito. It isn't fair that he's been likely forced into this position so far from home. I would accept that. I agree to the terms." L stood from his seat, and jerked his head slightly beckoning his keeper to approach. An elderly gentleman approached and pulled out a cellular device and handed it to L. "Just a matter of scheduling then. I, unfortunately, am quite busy today, so I will have to correspond through mostly messages and calls." The older man reached into his inner coat pocket, brandishing two business cards, handing them both to the other males at the table. L nodded and quickly bowed. "Gentleman. It's been a pleasure. I will be in touch. I look forward to hearing from you both." Turning on his heel the detective quickly retreated from the café.

Light ran his finger over the business card and smiled. "Thanks for saving me back there."

Beyond shrugged watching the elusive noble enter his vehicle. "I won't say that I wasn't interested before. But, you must be something special to match with someone like him and an asshole like me. What conclusions should I draw from that?" Beyond eyed Light playfully as Light tilted his head in slight confusion. Snickering slightly at the brunette's confusion. "He's reclusive, its rumored he hasn't left his home in two years." Widened golden eyes in surprise only spurred the raven's laughter on. "Well. To make things fair, I suppose I should also depart." Sliding himself from the booth Beyond smirked as he bowed. "Nice meeting you. Sorry about your shirt. I will replace it."

Light blinked several times in confusion as the second match left. "That was… something." He lifted his phone to call his sister.
