December 24th 2003 around 7 a.m.
Dang....
Dang!
Beyond felt annoyed by the sound.
Dang, Dong! Dang!
„Mmm, stop that!" he muttered angrily.
Dang! Dang!
Dong! Dang! Dong!
Beyond liften a hand to his ear, making a sound go away...
Dang, Dong! Dong...
„Damn it! Will you stop that annoying sound?" he screamed.
It was nothing but the church's bells ringing.
„Crap..." he said, and lifted his head from his chest, did he slept all night standing like that? He lowered his head again and only then he noticed that Lawliet's head lay on his lap, big black eyes staring at him.
„My head hurts like hell, I think someone drugged me, I hardly remember. Am I dreaming?"
Lawliet stirred a little. „If you dreamed you were taken from prison to an apartment, and woke up in the middle of the night with me giving you pleasure with my mouth, then I had the same dream."
„When did you came?" Beyond asked, brushing Lawliet's hair from his dark lined eyes.
„At 2 a.m., Watari brought me here, sorry for keeping you waiting. I've let you time to have a bath, eat and then to have some time only for two of us. I did came to Los Angeles yesterday morning and took the apartment under my posession, but I had to leave with Watari with some business. Watari left to Japan earlier this morning, but don't be embarrassed, he didn't came in. So he doesn't know what we did... unless I'll tell him that the Great Detective in the World L is about to lose his virginity with his backup, Beyond Birthday."
Beyond tried to laugh: „That is not funny, or if it's a joke I can't laugh hearing it for the first time."
„I didn't say it's funny." Lawliet said seriously. „If I'll tell, Watari will die from shock."
„I understand... but still, why do you want it? It's a little perverted, not to mention awkward. I do have feelings for you but not in a sexual „way" if you know what I mean. But still... erm, I can't critize this feeling because you think I am the perverted one: having a fetish for a 13-year old girl's panties, masturbating in blood next to the victims... and it's well a sexual frustration after all, am I right?"
„Yes, you are right. But I can't blame myself the way I am and neither you. We are both the same, hide ourselfs from the World, having weird habits..." Beyond cut him short and added.
„We are both the most smart, clever people on Earth."
„Yes. I guess you are right."
After a long silence, while listening to the bell's ringing.
„I," Beyond began, „I... I wanted so much to see your name... Lawliet, it sounds French, derives from the formal name of „Laurent". It's a wonderful name, my opinion... it has some meanings! Like, if you take it like this: Law-Light is like you say „Light of the Law" which shows your powerful sense of justice and respect for the law. If you shorten it, saying only Lawli you can't stop thinking and nickname it „Lawli-pop" from lollipop. If you are part russian, and I think you are, your name derives from the initial for of „Lavrenty" spelled Лаврентий, and if I spell it in Japenese it's Eru Roraito. I got intrigued in the simple name of „Eru", there is a unused language invented by a professor in Oxford in the Second World War and in that language, the name of „Eru" means „The One", „The Only", „Being Unique". I like that too, being „the One Light of the Law"."
„I'm impressed, Beyond. When did you got so „tamed"?" suddenly he saw Beyond's face full of pain, as if was struck by a dagger in his heart. „I'm sorry, I didn't mean that..." he touched his backup's face gently, still adaptating of touching other people than himself.
„I guess the time he spent alone in that cell drove him mad, taming his wild soul to the core. He still suffers the fear of death, and the pain inside him after he's been tortured. He's no longer the insane Beyond Birthday I once new. He regrets it at all, and deserve it all."
„Never mind that, when I was younger I wanted so much to surpass you, to kill you, to enjoy your pain, to laugh as you bath in a sea of your own blood, dying. I just wanted to grab your neck and snap it with my own hands. I wanted you for myself."
„You still think that way now?" Lawliet asked.
„No, and yes. I still want you for myself. To belong to me and only me, so no other can touch you like I want, but I don't want to kill you. We will both die someday."
Lawliet sat up and took his usual hunching posture, biting one of his thumbs.
„You want to have sex with me?" asked Lawliet, sure of his voice.
„We didn't had? Last night?" Beyond felt more confused than before.
„Well, it was, but nothing happened actually. No „thread's" been teared, no pain's been felt." He said amused.
Beyond raised a brow: „Sorry, I'm kind of new with this...Crap! What „thread"? I don't sew!"
„Oh, come on, you know what I mean. Don't tell me you don't know...?"
„No, I was just joking...haha!" Beyond laughed a bit. „Me, a genius, not knowing what „that" means, it would be ridiculous. At least, we both know, but never put it in practice."
„I know, and we call ourselfs adults." Lawliet finished.
