Near's cell phone rang, he analyzed it for a moment, "Yes, Lorita?"
"Your friend is in grave danger. Let me read you something… Astrology Traits and Personality of Pisces:
Mysterious and alluring individuals, most Pisces are extremely talented, but even though they are gifted in many ways, they still manage to spend most of their lives battling "confusing" conditions. Pisces is the sign symbolized by the image of two fish. Their symbol depicts one fish heading upward, the other pulling downward. This mirrors how Pisceans are frequently torn between two pathways in life, or actually do live two very different existences at the same time.
The number 2, is a very powerful number for them. This zodiac sign is acknowledged as being the Saint and the Sinner rolled into one; the trendsetter of fashion or art, the lost soul, the philosopher and the psychotic and the visionary. As a credit to them, considering their many vulnerable characteristics; Pisceans are incredibly adaptable and resilient. They are to be found leading the field in many diverse areas of life and many Pisces can be found represented amongst top business millionaires. On the other side of the coin, prisons, reform schools and all kinds of institutions statistically hold a high number of Pisceans too.
The Piscean's inner quest to explore their "ivory tower" syndrome can lead them into some most unusual and unlikely living conditions. Of all the signs of the zodiac, Pisces are the ones who end up in the most muddles over the years of their lives. They fantasize about situations, people and particularly romance - and because they spend so much time in their own form of 'fantasy land' this can catch them short in other more worldly areas. Because of this inner world of fantasy, Pisces people seldom perceive whatever is going on around them in its true light. They see life instead as they want to see it, coloring their view of the world in hues and tones far removed from its true reflection. No wonder this is the sign of both miracles and disillusionment. If you are a Pisces, be warned your emotions are a weak spot."
Near sighed, "And your point Lorita?"
"Light is my point. Beyond was a bonus. Light is what they want. He is THE definition of Pisces." Near's eyes widened and he paled as L's desk phone rang.
"You think...?"
"Nate, I know. I'm sending you the details. Every single survivor was the very definition of Aquarius. Nate, you need to safeguard him. It sounds cruel but he should never be out of your sight. All the disappearances are individuals that are very much like him… They're getting more specific."
Nate nodded, "Thank you, Lorita. You're a huge help."
Beyond stood on the roof of the hospital and flicked his cigarette out. He let out a loud sigh and walked back in through the staircase. He narrowed his eyes at the unusual amount of nurses around Light's room and decided to investigate, "What's going on?" The nurses shifted a cold stare to him and proceeded talking.
Beyond pushed through the nurses and walked into Light's room to see a man staring back at him with a scalpel held to Light's neck, "Easy now. Wouldn't want to put an end to your friend, now would we?"
Beyond looked out into the hall, all of the nurses were watching him, "What the fuck?"
The doctor released a sinister smile, "To be fair, Light has always been my choice for Pisces. Ever since he was a med-student." Light looked down at the floor listlessly, avoiding eye contact with Beyond.
Beyond narrowed his eyes, "That's sick." Light closed his eyes. "Well. You can't have him." Light opened his eyes and looked up to Beyond. "Since med-school… That's a while." Beyond stood next to the emergency station in the room, "But… Light is mine." He winked at Light, "I've loved him since I met him… I'll drop dead, before I let a creep like you take him." He flashed a devious smile and yanked all the wires from the wall sending off alarms throughout the whole building.
"Code Black – Room 401. Repeat Code Black." A woman's voice echoed through the hospital. A deep siren could be heard throughout the building as orange lights began to flash.
The nurses faces all paled as they scattered. Near walked through them tagging each of them with a thick orange highlighter and a serious stare forward. He leaned in the doorway with a pair of handcuffs, dangling from his hand, "You know… I'm getting a little tired of you people."
The group of 'nurses' were met with a small army of police officers guns readied and pointed. Mello smiled as he took the loud speaker, "What's the rush? No one is dismissed until they've been checked. If you choose to leave without clearance, we will take that as a voluntary resignation of your life. You will be shot on site."
Near emerged with the doctor in handcuffs, pushing him violently occasionally to keep his pace. Beyond stood next to Light, "I'm sorry I left your side. I didn't know how to face you."
Light stared at the ground, "You're always saving me…" Beyond watched Light walk through the crowd of nurses and stand near Mello and Matt.
L walked up to Beyond from behind, "Thanks for stalling him… Any longer and we might have been too late."
"It wasn't my original intention, but I'm glad it worked."
L sighed, "He isn't an easy person to love. He's moody, irrational, and blind to see things for how they are. But those are only negative things. He's kind, intuitive, and easily blinded by love. I think you'll figure it out."
Beyond put his hands in his pockets, "If you say so."
L smirked, "I'll arrange it. Don't worry. You'll get time to talk with him." He brushed passed Beyond and walked over to the others.
Beyond sighed and lit his cigarette, "Great. Thanks for the help L, I'll get arranged time to talk to a man I'm crazy about, by a man who was just as crazy for him… I can't help but think this is going to suck." He closed his eyes and walked through the crowds and down the street.
Light watched him leave and startled at L's voice behind him. "Go. He shouldn't be alone." Light sighed and opened his mouth to protest, L pointed to three spots on rooftops, "I'll be with you the whole time. You're fine." Light glanced up at the elite uniforms of the rifle carrying soldiers. L dropped a heavy coat onto Light's shoulders. "Or stay. Make you decision. In the meantime, he's getting away." L handed him a coat and gave him a dismissing glance before turning around aiding in the background checks.
L looked around once more before jogging to catch up to Beyond, "Hey! Wait up!" Beyond stopped and stared at Light. Light held the coat out and grabbed his sides.
Beyond took the coat and pulled Light close, "You're just as stupid."
Light panted slightly and groaned a little, "I can be."
Beyond narrowed his eyes and put the coat on, "You shouldn't be running in your condition."
Light looked up at him, "But you were getting away." He shivered slightly, "Winter blows."
Beyond betrayed a crooked smile, "Suppose we should go somewhere warm then?" Light nodded and winced at his side. Beyond wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled Light's arm on his shoulders, "Maybe we'll just go to L's house. I get the feeling we'll be safe there." Light offered a weak smile.
They approached L who just nodded his head towards a vehicle, "I'll ride back with Near. You'll have an escort vehicle, don't freak out." L tossed the keys and Beyond caught them with one hand. "Don't fuck my car up."
Beyond smiled and led Light to the car opening the passenger side door. Light sat down and grumbled. Beyond glanced at L, "Uh. We came in a car though… You know, Light's car."
L nodded, "We'll find it."
Beyond sighed and sat in the car, "Well. This isn't awkward at all."
Light tilted his head, "Hmm?"
Beyond chuckled, "Never mind."
Light sighed, "Beyond… I need to tell you something."
Beyond winced slightly at his words, "I think maybe when we aren't driving your ex-boyfriend's car would be for the best." Beyond smiled and started the car.
Light sighed and stared forward, "I love you. I think I might have always loved you."
Beyond stared at him, "I – I…"
Light leaned in and kissed his cheek softly, "Just drive." Beyond nodded dumbfounded and shifted the car into drive. The expression of shock still on his face.
