Your eyes like a shot of whiskey,

warms me up like a summer night.

Can you tell that I need ya with me?

Let me drink you down tonight.

Intoxicated – The Cab – Symphony Soldier


Beyond didn't so much as flinch as he plunged the syringe into first one scent gland, then the other, having grown used to the daily routine during the last month. A necessary evil to ensure that Light had no suspicions regarding his identity. The pheromone altering serum had exceeded all of his expectations, completely masking his natural scent from the young Omega.

Worth every fucking penny. He smirked and tossed the syringe into a container he would dispose of away from the house later, not willing to take the chance that Light would discover them in the trash and ask questions. After so many weeks of injections, someone could probably take a tissue sample from Beyond's scent gland, compare it to a sample from L's and not be able to tell the difference in a lab. The long term effects of the experimental drug were still being determined.

I still can't believe it's this damn good, to fool someone's mate...really, science is a beautiful thing. Beyond could easily admit he'd always had an appreciation for how certain chemicals and compounds could be combined together to create any number of effects. Pain, poisoning, paralyzing, euphoric feelings, unconsciousness…there were an endless amount of ways to trap one's prey or make them suffer most using these means if you knew exactly which drugs to use.

Beyond had been employing these tactics long enough that he had a network of contacts around the world who had information on all of the latest little goodies. It wasn't long before he'd heard about the PHa serum experiments secretly being conducted and he'd wanted in immediately. It was the last piece in the puzzle regarding being able to imitate L perfectly. It hadn't been difficult for B to provide the necessary samples to the black market chemists who were willing to replicate L's scent down to the exact chemical composition.

All they'd needed was a single piece of hair and there happened to be several raven strands caught on the shirt he took from L's home when he installed surveillance. Beyond had originally been looking into this option as a possible way to sneak into Wammy's or at least fool Quillish, so he could get close to L without interruptions, but then the detective had gone and gotten himself a mate...

I think I found a much better use for this stuff than I'd first planned... He thought with a grin as he started putting things away. The ability to alter someone's pheromones had originated within multiple country's covert intelligence groups and spread to the more nefarious members of the international criminal world in the last year.

Yes, Beyond had known it was fairly experimental and he'd taken a big risk in trusting that it would work properly… But it sure did fucking work, didn't it… He smirked, thinking of the clueless young man back in the main house.

The general public had no idea that it was even possible of course, with the fear of backlash being tremendous if it was discovered that multiple government spy organizations were now using scent and pheromone modification in their efforts against other countries. B happened to know that several "doubles" were already in place in high level government positions around the world due to the use of this new medical technology in conjunction with heavy amounts of plastic surgery and body modification.

He'd figured that if the serum hadn't worked, he always could've tortured Light the old fashioned way instead. That would've been fun too. He sighed happily at the thought. A little been there, done that, eh, but fun, nonetheless.

He peered in the box of vials on the table in front of him and counted out how many days' supply he had left remaining, scowling slightly. They'd been there almost four weeks now and Beyond was starting to grow anxious.

He should've been showing signs of going into heat soon already since he's not on suppressants right now. Like a bigger appetite, body temperature spikes, mood swings, his scent increasing…something. But to B's dismay, the young Omega had displayed no such symptoms as of yet.

Dammit, this must be because he was on those pills so long, it's thrown his whole system out of balance. Having watched the surveillance videos, B recalled how suddenly the young Omega had gone into heat last time, but was hoping it wouldn't be the same this round. I have things I wanted to prepare…I'll just have to play it by ear… He narrowed his eyes as his gaze fell on a small bottle of prescription pills in the box. He quickly grabbed them, shoving them into his pocket. This part will all come down to timing…it might not work out properly, but it's not the top priority anyways, secondary…

Beyond moved to the mirror, gazing into what were fast becoming unfamiliar burgundy hued eyes so he could re-insert the dark contacts he took out whenever he went out to the small side building next to the house to "work". These times usually just meant catching a few hours of sleep without the damn lenses in his eyes, away from Light.

I'll have to make the best of the situation and just watch him carefully... He mused, blinking rapidly as the contact slid into place and he faced his enemy in the mirror once more. B turned and left the small office, locking it up as he did so and heading back to the house. It was in the dark hours of morning before dawn that the dark haired Alpha returned, heading directly upstairs to the bedroom.

I'll just take a small nap…yeah. Beyond always told himself that, but half the time he'd ended up curled around Light's warm body and before he knew it, he was blinking his eyes open in surprise, mid-morning sunshine bright on his face.

I don't think I've ever slept this well. He begrudgingly admitted to himself as he made his way quietly down the hallway and crept into their room.

Beyond stopped in his tracks as he entered, gazing at the form in the bed. Light lay on his stomach, the sheets fallen down to pool at his waist and expose the long lean back of the Omega.

Moon…Night…God… B had to admit the Kanji used for the younger man's name was fitting, as he leaned against the doorframe and took in the sight of the lithe body laid before him like an offering… framed perfectly by the pale rays that poured in from the window.

A little bit of heaven on earth, aren't you little God? Beyond ran a finger slowly across his lower lip, eyes widening with glee as he took a few steps closer to the bed and caught the increased strength of the Omega's scent pulsing in the air. Oh yes…

He's closer…finally and the timing really couldn't be better. B's eyes darkened as he was enveloped by the heady aroma of strawberries, his hand moving to palm the growing arousal through the fabric of his jeans. Fuck, I want him right now... A devilish smile crossed his face, just thinking about having the Omega in heat, slick dripping down his thighs…he shuddered in anticipation, fingers clenching excitedly.

He took a deep breath to calm himself. I've come too far to do something stupid now. He chastised himself as he stripped down to his boxers and crawled into bed, nestling in against the slightly flushed younger man. Light let out a soft grumble as he was jostled before settling back against Beyond's chest with a sigh.

The Alpha's lips skimmed along Light's shoulder, the smooth slightly tanned skin just begging for him to lick, bite, taste… B breathed in the delicious scent rising from the young Omega and felt desire rush through him. He bit back a chuckle at his reaction. You're too tempting little god… He smirked and placed a kiss on the nape of Light's neck, closing his eyes and letting sleep overtake him.

Yes…far too tempting…

My pretty little god…

Light's eyes shot open as he felt his stomach rumble with hunger. The arms that held him close in the morning sun tightened further as L stirred next to him. The Omega's stomach angrily made its will known once more, causing the young man to cringe. What time is it? I'm so hungry… Light yawned softly.

"What is that god awful racket?" L murmured, rubbing the younger man's stomach with his hand and nuzzling Light's throat before placing playful kisses along his shoulder. The brunette blushed in embarrassment, suppressing laughter as he kicked his mate's leg away when it tried to nudge its way between his own from behind.

"I think it might have been a wild animal that got inside our room overnight…" Light whispered jokingly in an attempt to deflect from his own bodily noises. "You should go check it out, oh brave Alpha of mine." L huffed and pressed his lips once more to his neck.

"Mmmm…I think I should stay here…and protect you my love…we both know you can get into…a lot of trouble…when left on your own." The detective replied between kisses to every square inch of skin he could find on Light's shoulders.

The younger man bristled at the remark, a wave of anger sweeping through him. Really? Seriously? You know what L… Light abruptly pulled away from L's embrace, sitting up at the edge of the bed. The raven looked at him in confusion as Light stood and threw on a robe, shooting him a dirty look as he walked swiftly from the room.

"Thanks for reminding me how incapable I am of taking care of myself. I'll try not to burn the kitchen down while I get breakfast, dear." He called out, pleased with his little jab at L's non-existent cooking skills, as he strode from the bedroom and headed straight downstairs to get something to eat.

He opened the fridge and went on autopilot, pulling out all of his favorites for breakfast… He normally only made this stuff when L was busy working, but today… Fuck what he wants. He can make his own breakfast or eat what I give him. His eyes gleamed mischievously as they landed on the bottle of champagne that he'd bought for mimosas with the French toast, but had failed to open because they'd gotten so…distracted.

Whatever, I'll do what I want… Light thought defiantly as he pulled it out, grabbing the orange juice and setting them both on the counter. If it's trouble you think I get into L, I can provide plenty of it… He grinned. I'll have a lot of fun causing it too.

Well…what's the saying? It's always happy hour somewhere in the world…ha…maybe all of this time in a small town is finally getting to me. Light mused, holding back a chuckle as he quietly popped the cork and poured himself a drink, enjoying it as he began to make breakfast.

The smell of all of his morning staples back in Japan started to fill the air and he couldn't help but grin as the meal quickly came together. Miso soup, steamed rice and natto, tamagoyaki…

Yum… Light thought as he plated the food and poured his third mimosa of the morning. Not like I have any other plans after all…except causing trouble of course, because that's what I do apparently. He giggled, putting a hand over his mouth to stifle the sound as he walked towards the table, the alcohol buzzing through him as he sat down.

Day drinking is as good a plan as any. Light decided as he took a drink and began to eat voraciously, surprised when he'd put down the entire meal in less than ten minutes and was still hungry.

Huh, must be the alcohol… He decided, rising from his seat to get seconds of the delicious meal he'd made.

His cheeks were flushed and pink when he finally made his way back to the table. Where is L? I thought he would've been down here by now… He wondered as he consumed his food.

Probably avoiding me. Coward. The golden eyed Omega speared his food angrily in a sudden flash of annoyance, fork scraping on the plate. He should be on his knees begging for my forgiveness! Light's eyes darkened as he considered the possibilities.

I could make him beg… He licked his lips at the thought and let out a shuddering breath, feeling a rush of desire run through his body. Oh yes, that would be very nice… He'd been working on his pheromone and scent control once he'd recovered enough after the events at Max's and was feeling pretty confident in his manipulative abilities once more.

Light had swiftly regained the level of control he'd had before going off the suppressants and had now far surpassed it in his own estimation. Now it's just a matter of testing the theory… He'd wanted to keep it from L until he was sure he had a better handle on things again.

The brunette was truly curious to see if he could bend one of the strongest Alphas he'd ever met to his will. Everyone is always underestimating Omegas…treating us like we can't take care of ourselves…ha! Light sneered and cleared his now empty plate.

The brunette eyed the champagne as he neared the counter. Be a shame to let it go to waste I suppose. He convinced himself as he poured the last of it into his glass and left the empty bottle on the countertop.

Well…how should I go about this…hmm. The Omega pondered, sipping his drink. His eyes were remarkably focused and calculating for those brief moments, regardless of his alcohol intake as they peered at the base of the staircase from the kitchen door and a grin spread across his visage.

I know one way to get his attention real fucking quick. Light thought naughtily, as he released a strong desire fueled burst of his scent that he knew would act like a siren call to the other man. Just enough to get you going, L…

He smirked, raising an eyebrow as he heard something clattering to the ground upstairs. Light resisted the urge to laugh and give his position away, quietly tip toeing barefoot to the other end of the house as he heard L come inelegantly racing down the stairs.

This should be fun…

The Omega bit his lip in anticipation. It's been awhile since we've played a good game of hide and go seek, L.

Oh my god… Beyond staggered as he felt the Omega's unique scent hit him and he swore he could literally taste it. Better than any jam he'd ever consumed, sweet on his tongue as it raced down into the pit of his stomach, to his groin…invading his body at the core. Fuck…

He dropped the bottle of pills he'd been holding in his hand, forgotten for the moment as it skittered across the floor and he strode from the room, moving towards Light and that delectable smell…

Mine…

B's pupils dilated as he all but ran down the hall and took the stairs two at a time on his way down, barely restraining the growl that wanted to escape as he arrived at the spot where it had originated from. He scented the air curiously, eyes narrowing predatorily as he stalked into the kitchen. In moments, his gaze alighted on the remnants of Light's breakfast, while his body slowly began to calm, the initial rush fading.

What the fuck was that? I knew he had some talent with pheromone control from their conversations, but I didn't know he could…wow. Beyond ran a hand through his already disheveled hair and bit back a thrilled giggle.

Oh my, you just get more fun by the minute…such wonderful entertainment. His eyes darkened with lust before landing upon the empty champagne bottle sitting on the countertop, widening slightly in surprise. Oh, what's this?

Do I have a drunken Omega running around the house just waiting for me to take advantage of him? He smirked. I think my little god is feeling playful today… B's thoughts were interrupted as another wave of pheromones, stronger this time, hit him hard.

Oh, yes…mmmh. His eyes burned with a fierce need as flames of desire licked up and down his body. That's nice, really fucking nice…

He smiled wickedly as he silently, but swiftly crept through the house, eager to chase his prey as ingrained Alpha hunting instincts kicked in. The feeling he got was different this time. The scent was almost…coaxing him. As if Light were dangling a shiny object before him and saying "come here Alpha, come play with me."

This was unlike the first wave, which had been more of a call to take immediate action, lust driven in its simplicity. Beyond reached for the handle of the closet near the front entry. Gotcha love…time to spread those gorgeous legs and give it up. He thought as he flung it open, dismay coloring his face as he found it empty. Fuck! Sneaky little bitch… The dark haired Alpha shut the door softly and closed his eyes, listening for any sound in the house.

*creak*

Beyond grinned and his eyes shot open, looking to the ceiling where he'd heard the sound originate. Bedroom… He deduced, speeding to the stairs and making his way up in record time.

The Alpha walked in, slowing his pace as he heard water running in the master bathroom. What the… It stopped suddenly, and seconds later Light walked out with a glass in his hand, a sheepish smile upon seeing Beyond standing in the doorway.

I want him…now… B thought as he gazed upon the younger man, whose cheeks were adorably flushed from the alcohol, eyes widening as he felt the pheromones radiating off the clearly still worked up Alpha male. Light's eyes began to glaze over a bit in response, losing focus as he crossed the room and picked up a bottle of pills from the dresser.

Is that the same one I dropped earlier? The Alpha's eyes darted to the floor to confirm his suspicion that it was no longer there and that they were one and the same. He wanted to be sure, considering that the bottle was identical to another Light already had…

"Umm, when I was downstairs…uh, I ended up in the office and noticed what day was marked on the calendar, so, I thought that I should probably come take this before I forget…" Light shook the bottle with a smile and took out a pill, quickly ingesting it and setting down the glass of water when finished.

"Sorry if I caught you off guard earlier and made you knock anything else over up here." The brunette looked around the immediate area with concern, searching for other dropped items or messes. "I appreciate that you remembered and left them out for me…at least one of us is being responsible."

"I'm glad you took a break to take care of that then, if you feel better now. Although your latest game of hide and seek was quite exciting I must admit." B remarked slyly, happy with the turn of events and always enjoying the chance to throw out knowledge that affirmed in Light's mind that he was L…not that the young man had any doubts. "The playing field wasn't quite as large as the first time, but…" B smiled sweetly as he trailed off, the picture of a happy mate as he made his way to Light and kissed him gently. The Omega nuzzled into his neck.

"I'm sorry about storming off earlier." Light mumbled quietly, turning his face and hiding it.

You should be. The Alpha thought, struggling not to roll his eyes in annoyance. No, I can't think like that. I have to be very careful right now and treat him especially well. I'm so close…

"Shh, it's ok." He comforted, rubbing the brunette's back before moving his hands down to knead Light's hips, sliding his thumbs back and forth rhythmically under the waistband of the Omega's boxers. "It was thoughtless of me and with you being pre-heat it's only-"

"What, huh? I..." Light's alcohol fogged eyes seemed to sober swiftly in realization as he let out a groan. "Aww shit…I know what the symptoms should be and all, but I didn't have a typical heat last time so I just…" The Omega's voice grew quiet, his molten gold hued eyes flashing with a myriad of emotions as they drifted back to Beyond face. The primary feelings of nervousness and anticipation on the younger man's face tugged at something inside the Alpha.

God he's so vulnerable sometimes… It made Beyond want to spread the younger man out and make him writhe beneath him, fuck him until he was so thoroughly debauched that there could be no hint nor trace of innocence left.

I want to break him apart and see how he puts himself back together again. He swallowed a growl, his restraint practically at the breaking point as he reassured himself that there would be time for that down the road.

Replace the Light with darkness…so poetic and fitting… B thought as he told himself to take a calming breath. He distracted himself further by running his fingers through Light's hair.

"It's going to be ok, Light. I'm here, just like last time and I'm sure it won't be as long as your first heat was." He kissed the Omega deeply, feeling the younger man melt against him and let out a needy moan. "I'll take care of you. I promise." Light gazed at him from only inches away and smiled blissfully.

"I'm going to go unwrap all of the new pillows and blankets you bought…I'll be in the heat room…" Light murmured shyly, kissing him briefly once more, before turning in his arms to go. Beyond listened until he was sure he heard the heat room open down the hall and then proceeded to enter their bathroom. He opened up the medicine cabinet and took out an identical bottle of pills to the one out in the bedroom, thankful the young Omega hadn't opened the cabinet and seen the duplicate bottle while he was in there. He stuffed it in his pocket before heading out to find Light.

"I'm just going to quickly wrap up some notes on a few cases and transfer things over to Near and Mello for the next week or so." B lied smoothly, flawlessly, with a smile on his face. "Then I can completely focus on you…sound good?" The Alpha inquired, kneeling down next to Light on the soft flooring, noting the slight sheen that covered his skin.

Shouldn't be long now… He considered delightedly. Wow, maybe even in the next couple of hours. He thought as he took in the increasingly potent scent spilling from the Omega.

"Sounds great…don't take too long." Light purred, grabbing him by the hair and kissing him deeply before releasing him and returning to his task of organizing his "nest". B took the younger man at his word, hastily exiting before he did something stupid like shove the brunette on his back and fuck him senseless. Later… Beyond thought darkly.

The dark haired male headed out to the small building next to the house and unlocked the office within to deposit the pill bottle inside the trash container with the old syringe from the prior night. He sat down in a comfortable recliner and sighed happily, knowing that he needed to spend at least an hour down in the office space, so it seemed like he was completing the amount of work that he'd informed Light he was there doing.

Perfect… B yawned and rested his eyes, deciding a nap was in order, given how much he would be exerting himself in the coming days. Everything is going according to plan…
