The sun came through the window lighting up the whole house. Light groaned and squinted his eyes rubbing them tiredly. He sat up and looked around the room, his eyes fell on Beyond sleeping with the occasional grumble. Light smiled at cleaned up the dishes from last night and started working on breakfast.
From the kitchen he could hear Beyond's cell phone ringing he heard him stir and answer, "You better be dying or bleeding… It would be really neat if it was both." His voice sounded annoyed. "No, absolutely not. First of all, you broke up with me. Second of all, I'm sick of your shit, Claire."
Light blinked a couple times from the kitchen, "Claire?" Light startled when he raised his voice.
"Because it's fucking bullshit! You seriously don't understand personal space, I think if you knew anything about me at all its that I don't like to be coddled, and as you may or may not know, you ungrateful bitch, but if I'm not home it's for a fucking reason." Almost as if he realized his surroundings he looked around for Light who was standing in the doorway to the kitchen rather unsettled. "Hold on, damnit woman, I said hold the fuck on!" Beyond stood up and held the phone to his chest, whispering to Light, "I'll be right back." Beyond stepped outside on the front porch and Light could hear him arguing from the kitchen.
Light tried not to listen to the loud conversation, he busied himself making more food, Beyond had screamed his unpleasant goodbyes to his phone he threw his phone in his car. Lit a cigarette and leaned against his car.
Light stepped out the front door wiping his hands dry, "Uh… Breakfast is done."
Beyond looked up from his glare into the dirt, Light had thought if he could he would have burned holes into the driveway. Beyond's face seemed to soften into an apologetic frown. "I'm sorry, Light. L's death hit a lot of people hard. My girlfriend at the time didn't think that I should be so down and alone. But then she proved what a lying bitch she was." Beyond's words went from soft and explaining to almost spitting venom. He snapped to again, "I'm sorry... Again… She brings the worst in me. Anyway, she wasn't very supportive and one unfortunate event after another she dumped me for being to depressing…"
Light tilted his head and waved in front of his face, "Don't worry about it, it doesn't matter… I was more startled at the fact that you could get angry."
Beyond flicked his cigarette and sighed, "Okay, about this breakfast." Light smiled and stepped inside as Beyond followed him in.
Beyond sat at the table as Light placed the bowls of food on the table, the more he sat down the wider Beyond's eyes grew. Light sat down and stared at Beyond, "Are you okay?"
Beyond looked up and gave a bewildered stare, "I've just never seen so much food at breakfast."
Light laughed and handed him some rice, "Well I really needed to get rid of a few things and this was a quick way of doing it." Light's smile faded quickly after meeting his eyes with Beyond and seeing a dark shadow behind him. Light looked down and started eating his rice.
Beyond watched Light in confusion and looked over his shoulder, "Light?"
Light looked up and at the shadowed figure behind Beyond once again. He looked back down, "Yes?"
Beyond looked back over his shoulder, "What do you keep looking at?"
Light sighed, "Nothing. When you finish up just put the dishes in the sink, I'll take care of them after my shower."
Beyond sighed and lifted his coffee to his mouth, "Well. Someone is awfully hot and cold today… Did I do something..?"
Light stopped in the doorway, "No, I'm sorry, I'm just not feeling well." Light hung his head with his back to Beyond. "I miss him. You're a lot like him. Well, in a sense. You're actually polar opposites…" Light sighed heavily. "I don't know what I'm saying. It feels like yesterday. It hurts like yesterday, I'm torn."
Beyond tilted his head in confusion then stood up and wrapped his arms around Light's shoulders and rested his chin in the crook of Light's neck. "I don't understand. Is there anything I can do?"
Light leaned back and stared forward at L, who whispered, "You know what you need to do." Light nodded slowly and rested his head back onto Beyond's shoulder.
Beyond pulled Light into a tighter hug. "I'm so sorry, Light, I know this is hard."
Light put his hands over Beyond's. "You're here. It's okay." Light jolted himself away from Beyond, "I can't. I'm sorry." Light dove his body away from Beyond and run up the stairs.
Beyond sighed and started cleaning up the dishes, thinking to himself, "Would it be weird if I went to go make sure he's okay? What was he babbling on about?" Beyond finished cleaning up the dishes and let a frustrated groan out, "God damn you, Light." Beyond turned around and stormed out of the kitchen and up the stairs he stopped at the door with his hand just barely grazing the knob. Beyond closed his eyes and listened closely.
"I can't do it… I can't." A faint voice could be heard from the other side of the door.
Beyond pushed the door open, "Can't do what?! What the hell is going on with you?!" When nothing was said out of either irritation or insanity he swung the curtain open, "Well?!"
Light was sitting on the bottom of the shower hugging his knees sobbing. Beyond's expression instantly softened, he turned the water off and draped a towel onto Light's shoulders. Light murmured, "So what now?"
Beyond helped Light stand averting his eyes. "I'll help you."
Light sighed and pulled the towel closed, "Don't. Don't help me, don't come so near."
Beyond blinked a couple times in surprise, "What?"
Light gave a defeated smirk, "Because I'll fall for you."
Beyond stepped in front of Light and made eye contact, "I…" Beyond placed his hands on Light's cheeks, causing Light to blush slightly, "I don't know how to say this…" Light shifted his eyes away from Beyond. "About damn time…" Beyond gently placed his lips onto Light's. Light's eyes widened and his face flushed red. He closed his eyes and leaned into the embrace.
