Chapter 7 - L's Successors

After being dragged into a room by a more than overly-enthusiastic blond, BB tore his arm away from A and looked above the startled boy, seeing the name and number floating their

"Ashley Alexandr Woods" He muttered under his breath, so quietly that BB even struggled to here himself.

He stared at the numbers of the young boy, his blood red eyes focusing on the numbers in the space above A's head. A just stared as the strange newcomer stared above.

"Erm are you okay? What you looking at?" a confused A asked BB, who quite frankly was starting to scare him a little. BB's gaze snapped straight into A's hazel eyes. A stepped back a little as the intimidating red orbs stared straight through him.

"I'm fine, I'd just had a long day," BB sighed as A pointed out the second bed to him which was across the room to A's. The room was small, it had a large oak which was painted white. The room was also painted a startling white, the carpet was a deep blue of which two wooden beds where placed at opposite ends of the room. Two wardrobes and chests of draws where situated at each end with their respective beds and a small old fireplace on the main wall with two large bay windows at ether side which looked over a small courtyard where children of all ages could be seen playing. BB walked over to his bed and fell backwards onto it. He sighed as he yanked his dirty black shirt over his head and threw it across the room, then proceeded to remove his tattered jeans and then went along to the other side of the room with his shirt until he was just sat on the bed in his boxers. A stared for a moment until he noticed BB sitting up in which he pointed out the chest of draws.

"If you want...erm more clothes, Wedy has put you some in the draws at the bottom, as she saw you didn't really come with anything.. well, apart from yourself,"

BB walked across to the draws and pulled out a long-sleeves black shirt and some dark grey jeans. He then flung himself back onto the bed and just lay there staring at the high celing above. A approached him and sat on the floor next to his bed.

"You know, I have never had a room mate before, I've never really had a real friend before either. Usually because I'm the smartest kid here at Wammys. Other children don't really like to socialise with me, unless it's to help with their homework..."

BB rolled onto his front and glanced down at A who was then looking back up to him.

"Well, I don't really get along with many people anymore, but you seem kinda cool," BB smiled and as A was about to reply, a loud knock came onto the door. Roger walked in and smiled at the two conversing boys.

"A, BB, there is someone that you both need to meet," Roger said as he indictated the boys towards the door. A got up off from the floor and ran eagerly towards Roger and smiled. BB dragged himself off from the bed and made his way towards Roger.

"I see A pointed your new clothes out to you then B,". BB just nodded and followed A out off the room. They both followed Roger as he took them further into the large house. Down various corridors up several flights of stairs. They finally reached there destination. They came to a door, at the very end of a corridor on the 4th floor of the building. Roger knocked and waited a few seconds. Then an elderly man came to the door, both A and BB instantly recognised Watari's face.

"Ah Roger we have been expecting you, please allow me to take the boys," Watari said in his usual calm and kind sounding voice. A and BB followed Watari furthur into the room where they saw someone. A older boy, probably no older than 16, his wild raven hair stuck out in all directions, dark circles under his eyes indicated he didnt sleep much, he had pale, almost white, skin and was clothed in a baggy long-sleeved white t-shirt and baggy blue jeans. As A and BB looked down they also noticed this teen had no socks or shoes, just bare feet!

"Boys, I would like to introduce you to L," Watari stated as calmly and collected as always.

'What?! This is the great L?! But he looks so young, but so weird, how can a man as clever and amazing as the great detective L is be so, well strange?!'. BBthought as his jaw subconsciously fell open, as did A's. Everyone had heard of the great detective L, even children as young as A and BB. The man who solved every case put to him, even those deemed impossible to solve. L approached the two open-mouthed boys and a small smile came onto his face.

"Watari do we really need this? I mean their only kids, and I'm only 16, I'm not going anywhere in a hurry," L said, with his monotone voice.

'Bingo, I knew he was around 16, I mean really a 16 year old detective?' BB thought as his mouth returned to a normal closed position. He stared at A and smcaked his arm to bring him back to some form of reality and out of his 'awe' trance.

"L, with the line of work you are in, it's only natural you have successors, incase anything did happen to you, you run a dangerous life you know?" Watari was used to dealing with 'teenage L'. L wasn't keen on the idea of successors but Watari saw this as more of a 'we need' than 'we want'.

"Erm sir?" A finally piped up and spoke.

'thank god being in L's presance didn't mute him for life' BB let out a small chuckle at the thought.

"What are we actually here for? Well appart from meeting... Mr ... L of course," he stuttered the last part of the sentance,

'obviously still not over the entire your in the same room as L fiasco', BB giggled again as Watari turned to him and sighed.

"Well Alternate, you and Back -up are to succeed L. You are his successors who will gain the title of L if the unfortunate comes and something happens to him,"

BB gritted his teeth at the name he was referred too, he hated the nick name even though he had only been at Wammys less than a day.

"Watari that's going a bit strong isn't it? It's like your expecting me to just pop off in the next few years, I'm not that stupid," L returned to the conversation glaring at Watari, his face was emotionless but you could tell in his eyes he was slightly annoyed with the statement Watari just gave out.

Watari just laughed and turned back to us.

"As A is first and he has a higher IQ, ('well thankyou for the flattery' BB sighed') you shall be L's first successor, his Alternate. BB, If anything happens to A, you shall be his Back-up." both boys stared at Watari again, open mouthed. L would have most likley done the same if it wasn't for the lolly pop he had begun to eat. BB granced above L's head, he couldn't resist the temptation of knowing the great 'unnamed detective' L's real name And when he was going to die.

'L Lawliet 2111061509'.

Beyond smiled as he turned to Watari, "so... Can we leave now?"

"Yes you are both dismissed,"

Both boys turned to walk out the door but not before BB did something that he could not resist.

"Bye bye Watari, Bye Bye Lawli-pop" as he giggled and shut the door.

It was now L and Watari who stoof open mouthed, not the two giggling children who ran down the hall.

Once BB and A reached their room they both leapt on their beds laughing.

"BB why did you call L 'Lawli-pop'?" He asked as a smile came to his face.

"Dunno it just came to me I suppose when I saw him eating that lolly" BB replied. Well he didn't reLly lie, it did come to him after seeing L eat the sweet. But it did come to him mainly because of the name above the young mans head. BB laughed to himself as he looked above. He hadnt had this much fun since, well ever. The past few weeks had been rather traumatic, but A seemed to make them better, he was happy, friendly and BB was really fond of him.

Maybe being L's 'back up successor' wouldn't be so bad, maybe living here wouldnt be so bad. He sat up on his bed and looked over to A's.

Maybe making a friend wouldn't be so bad after all.
