Beyond a mess

The next morning

L was lying in bed. It had been an entire lifetime ago that he had slept so well.

As L slowly opened his eyes, he noticed the awkward position he was in.

There were a pair of warm arms wrapped around his head, that held him to an even hotter body.

Light

He remembered the state they were in yesterday, but he had never imagined it to end like this. He let a hand come up to Light's torso and pushed himself away, desperately trying not to wake the sleeping beauty.

As he was sitting there on his side, he gazed back at the teen.

Light looked like a little kid. His eyes were fully closed and had messy honey colored streaks hanging over them. His mouth was slightly open, and he was nuzzled into the soft blanket that made him look a little angelic.

He could just never get enough of this. He let his spidery fingers drive through Light's hair. He wasn't surprised about its softness, because he knew the amount of time Light needed to make it.

L turned to the clock. He froze.

It was 10 am, which meant that they had slept for over 12 hours.

Yesterday had been such a stressful day that L wanted to go to bed early. Light had needed it to, so they went to bed at 9. This was by far the longest amount of sleep he had ever gotten.

L gripped his head.

Wasn't he an insomniac?

He looked back at Light.

They had been together in bed very often, but he still hadn't felt like this before. When he had been lying there earlier, he had the feeling as if he was needed. It was wonderful. His body had been drained in comfortable warmth that made his heart jump in joy.

His hand left Light's head, but went right back for another reason.

They had to get up!

L slowly started to shake Light a little.

Light eyelids slowly rose, as he was flooded with color.

He rolled onto his back and sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"Uhg…what time is it?"

"10:12 am"

Light looked over to L, he was shocked.

"Why the heck didn't you wake me?"

L's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I just woke up 2 minutes ago."

"But we went to bed early yesterday, shouldn't you have woken up at like 3, even if you get good night sleep?"

"That's the mystery about it. Apparently Light's chest is a better pillow then I had thought. I must not have had the urge to wake up because of him. I blame you."

Light crossed his arms.

"That's illogical! It's not my fault."

"Oh, whose is it then?"

"Maybe you insomnia just stopped for once."

"Light, I have never EVER slept this long, so why would I now? Believe me when I say that yesterdays actions were tough but I have had worse. So I still stay by my assumption that it was you."

"We have slept in the same bed for a long time now, so why would this be different?"

"Maybe because Light held me tightly against him."

L stared at Light with an evil smirk.

"…"

Light just looked away. Why was L so grumpy to him? It surly wasn't his doing that they overslept.

Light pouted.

L knew that he didn't have the right to accuse the teen like this, but it was just so darn fun. They both were innocent in this little game. Maybe only one-sided, but L enjoyed himself.

L put his hand up to Light's shoulder. It made him turn.

"Let's just get up before the others come checking on us…"

They both got up and dressed. L went for an shower before they meet in the living room.

L had given Light some clothes he still had from the old Kira-case. They were too big. L really wondered what Light would look like with different styles. It was hard to imagine. He had never seen Light in something else so far.

"What would you like to eat?"

Light just looked at L. He wasn't feeling hungry at all, so he just shook his head.

"You need something, Light! I won't let you die here either. Tell me or I will chose it and feed you if I have to!"

What was with L this morning?

Light rolled his eyes and sighed. He really wasn't hungry.

"Coffee, that's all" Light needed something to get his mind off the detective.

L growled. He would let it slip this once. He got out his phone and told Watari what they needed.

10 minutes later, It was brought.

L had a huge selection of cakes and pies, and a perfect view on Light that was sitting across from him.

He was in heaven.

Light just had a coffee in his hand and looked over the files. Maybe he had missed something.

Light broke the silence.

"What are we going to do now?"

L thought hard before he answered that.

"Well, we know that he will not stop hunting you, but he can't stand outside of headquarters 24/7 just to see if you are coming out. He will probably try to find a way to lure you outside like blackmail, but if that happens, you have to tell me, got that? B's plans are similar to yours. They are perfect. So we have to be extremely careful. I'm already telling you now that you will not leave the building!, what so ever! I will have to find a way to get you out of harm's way before I take any actions considering B. He will surely kill more people, maybe even some which look similar to you to decrease his desire. So we have to hurry. All we can do at the moment is wait for some movements on his side."

"Why don't you just let me out with a GPS hocked on me, then when he is near, take him down? It would go fast and easy."

L just glared at Light.

"B isn't stupid, you know. It took me a long time to catch him the first time, so why should this be any different? He will find a way to overcome it and take you right in front of my eyes. I won't lose you to him!"

Light couldn't let L go with his stupid idea of just waiting.

"So we just wait and watch as he kills innocent people?"

That sounded so wrong. They had to do something.

"That's the only thing we can do at the moment."

"But my life is not even nearly as important as that of innocent people! They don't deserve to die just because I live!"

"Do you want to die, Light?"

Light went quiet.

"As I thought. Like I said before, I won't lose you to him!"

"But-"

"No buts! You are important to me and I won't watch him killing you! Ever! I will do my best catching him, but you life goes first. Say what you want, it cannot change that!"

L leaned back into his chair and crossed his arms.

He was nuts!

Light gripped his head. L was already nerving the crap out of him. He admitted that he loved the man in front of him, but L always managed to get him to 180° in only a few seconds.

Both were ripped out of thoughts as Near entered the room.

"Morning"

"Good morning" Light put on a friendly smile to great the new visitor.

"What's wrong…" L didn't want to return kindness if he didn't get any.

"I need to talk to you" he looked over to Light. "Alone"

L wasn't surprised at this. Near didn't trust, nor ever like Light at all. But he understood why.

Light got up and wanted to leave, but was held back by Near.

"You stay, we go."

The both detectives went out, leaving a dazed Light behind.

He went to the sofa.

L and Near teaming up was a deadly couple. B didn't have a chance against them if he didn't get help. But he doubts that nobody would help him kill people like he did. It was impossible. But Light felt no pity with the freak.

Light had an even greater task to accomplish. He had to find a way to outfox L, save Sayu, and that possibly in a couple of days.

His life was really screwed up.

L and Near were standing outside of the suite.

L really didn't want to leave the teen by himself. He knew what happened when Light got bored.

"What is it?"

"What is wrong with you?" Near was staring directly at L now. His gaze had sparks of worry in them.

"Apparently I am fine. What do you mean by that?"

"You know what I mean! Ever since you got in contact with that Kira, you have completely left us and the case drop like a stone. You just go and enjoy yourself with you murderer. And you ask me what is wrong?"

L just blinked at Near. He had a point with him pushing everything to the side. Heck, he already had what he wanted, Light. The rest wasn't too important to him. Sure, those people had to be protected but it wasn't his first thing to do.

"B won't reveal himself to us that easy. I first have to think of and good plan to capture him before I go on."

"Then hurry up with you stupid plan! People are dying out there because of you friend, and B won't stop until he gets what he wants."

"I know! Light already nerved me with that stupid thing the entire morning. But that still can't change the fact that I will never give him to B so easy."

Near rolled his eyes. His idol could be such a prick at times.

"Just hurry…"

"We already have tried to find a descent pattern off places, but since they are all random, it won't change it. He always kills 2 people that have something in common, which tells us that he will need an equal to Light, like maybe some kind of relative.

We also know that he has to observe us from somewhere to be sure that we don't flee. He probably doesn't work in an apartment because he would have neighbors that could hear the victim's screams.

That's all I can conclude at the moment."

"At least something"

"Are we finished?"

"NO, and you are coming with me to tell Watari about this! Grip yourself together! Kira is not you lollipop or something. You can let him look over it all after we are finished."

L didn't like that stupid name...Kira. Light didn't even chose it, his fans did. Couldn't Near stop his rude attitude just once?

They went on to the main room.

When L left.

Light was bored now.

He was sitting on the couch and staring holes into the air.

It was so clear that the conversation outside was about him, but he didn't care. Near didn't like him. And he showed it.

Hopefully they would hurry.

There was still the notebook in the nightstand that he could use. Maybe the internet could give them a descent idea about the sudden reincarnation.

Light got on it easily. L passwords may have been hard, but if you knew him, they were like stealing candy from a baby…ironic since L loved candy.

He mentally thanked god for being able to use Explorer again.

Most pages were trash, but after a while he found something interesting.

It was a huge site with phenomenon like this. But it nerved him after a while.

Every single one had a flaw in it.

There was one saying that Satan had raised his men to take over earth, but they would all have white skin and red eyes, hungry for human flesh. Yuck.

The other one said that it was black magic. It didn't sound too wicked, but that person would have to get everyone years were a long time, but they wouldn't have been brought back to their death place.

Then there were things about the apocalypse and that all people that died would be brought back. But since only the people killed by the Death Note were brought back, that made no sense.

He found something interesting.

Parousia

It was a sign for the end of the world. But also a sign of god to prevent something from happening. It said that all people would be reborn with their body falling from the sky at their place of death.

What if they had been send back to stop something great? It was quite hard to believe, but If you implied it to the Death Note victims, it would work.

It only brought up a bigger question.

What would we have to stop?

Light wanted to get L and Near but stopped in his tracks as they entered the room.

L didn't look too content with Light being able to crack his password and having access to the NPA files.

"What are you doing there, Light?"

"Research…I think I have found something containing our little question."

L's eyes widened in surprise. They both went over to Light and examined the text.

L smiled.

This Information was strange, but it could be possible. And by the looks of Near, he was just as exited.

As L finished he lowered himself down to Light and ruffled his hair. It made Light hiss.

Near rolled his eyes again and looked away. The only way to interrupt this nonsense was by asking questions.

"T-That information is very awkward but could be possible. How did you find it?"

"Google"

Light gave Near a evil smirk. He just looked away again, annoyed to the bone.

"So, after this thing, you guys have some big mission to do, Yagami-san?"

This time it was Near that smirked at Light.

Light tried to overhear the stupid name, it was hard.

"I don't know about that jet, but I could try to find out…"

L was sick of this battle. He got up and crossed his arms.

"There is a big possibility that it could be true, so I would consider it. Just next time ask me before you use my laptop, ok?"

Light nodded.

"We just came back to get the thing, if you want to join us in the investigation room, you can. But you can always stay here."

"I'll stay"

L smiled and took off with the notebook. Near went after him.

Light was alone again.

He leaned back and sighed.

What could god need that he would bring back so many people? And why the heck was he 18 if he should be 22?

Light was getting a headache again. Maybe he should let himself get checked for it. He was getting them now recently.

He wanted some fresh air, but the chance of L letting him see the outsides was like asking him to stop eating sweets….it was impossible.

Maybe the roof, but that place still scared Light. It held some bad memories within them.

But Light got a nice idea. He didn't even know 3 % of the tall building he was in, so why not go for a little walk?

He walked out of the suite. Their apartment was about 2 floors over the investigation room, so if he could keep quiet, he could pass them without being heard.

Light began walking.

After a whole while he found a stairway leading downstairs.

Light remembered L saying that the building was deeper towards the ground. He desperately wanted to find out what was down there.

The patterns never changed. It was door next to door. All locked.

He rolled his eyes. This building was totally boring.

He was almost at the end of the building, but it didn't go on from here.

Quite some time had passed. He wondered how long it had been. 2-3 hours?

Light wanted to go back up, but suddenly, his headache turned to a pulsing migraine. It sent pain down his entire body.

On top of that, the lights went out. They were built to last 10 minutes and go off automatically.

'Great'

Light decided to just sit down and think. It was hard because of the pain, but he could take it.

As he sat there, he remembered something very awkward.

Yesterday morning. B had always managed to keep up with Light's speed, but as he was crouching down to him, he had no sign of sweat on him. B's breath had been normal and cold. His skin had been cold. It was as if he hadn't lifted a finder.

Those chuckles haunted Light's mind again. They didn't sound human, they were more demonic.

Light was just sitting there.

That foul had no idea what was going on upstairs.

30 stories up.

L was running through every floor he could find, in search for Light.

The teen had vanished from their room for a long time now, which wasn't the big problem here. The problem was that Light wasn't on the other 5 floors either. L trusted his building blindly, but the chance of B being able to enter was still at 13.52%.

What if he had lost Light to B?

L had tried to call Light for the 12 time now, but the kid still didn't answer. His cellphone was off.

He started calling out his name loudly, but never got a response.

L was getting furious.

It he was getting gray hair from this, he would be mad at the beauty.

They had found B's old warehouse in Osaka, but it was abandoned, and the new building was not to be found.

L had his doubt about B being the same as he used to. He was acting strange lately.

In Los Angeles, B had killed 3 people. But now in Tokyo, he had killed 8. He had an entire new way in killing, and had to find out why.

But first he had to find his stupid little Light.

Light was bored again.

He got up and started to walk up.

L was probably still working with Near, so he had to be quiet when he passed that floor.

Light guessed that is had been 3 hours since he left.

The stairs in the building were strangely built. To get one down or up you had to go through the entire floor for the next stairway. It gave him the perfect opportunity to search for unlocked doors… Nada.

As he slowly approached the 10th floor, he could hear some noise. Someone was yelling out.

It was hard to understand, but he knew that it was L.

Light started running toward it.

The 10th floor was just like the others very dark. It was full of locked doors with nothing behind them.

As he entered the 2nd corridor, he heard a loud call.

"LIGHT"

Why was L calling him?

"I'm here!"

This would get interesting.

L ran over to his hall . As he passed the corned, and saw Light, he stopped and rested himself on his knees.

"W-Where the…" L couldn't speak. He was panting so hard that it hurt.

Light saw the exhaustion L was in and walked over. He was fully curious of what had driven the detective.

"What's wrong?"

"YOU!"

Light's wrist was grabbed tightly and yanked forwards. L was walking strictly to the elevator and never let go of his arm.

His grip was so tight, it hurt. Light tried to free himself from it, but failed.

"Let go!"

"No!"

L's breathing was still very hard. He sounded as if he had run a marathon.

"God, tell me what is wrong?"

L just closed his eyes. He was about to snap big time if the teen wouldn't be quiet. His nerves were at an end.

"Hey, I'm talking to-"

"SHUT UP!"

Light's body was thrown against the wall. Both his wrists were pinned next to his head so wouldn't move. The crash with the wall had hurt him terribly. The pain mixed with the headache he still had and made him go numb in L's arms.

Light's eyes had been closed as it happened, but opened now.

L was merrily 10 inches away from his face, staring him into the eye.

"Do you have any Idea how I ranted when you went missing? You are already being tracked down, do you not know that? B shouldn't have many problems entering the first couple of floors without us knowing, so do you have any bloody idea how I felt? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE! You had me running around and screaming all these floors. And you ask me what is wrong??? I told you to either stay in our room or go to the investigation room with us, but no. YOU went wandering off somewhere where nobody can find you without even leaving a note or turning on you cell phone. I am almost dead from worry about you, so please! Just be quiet for the rest of the night! Please!"

Light was gone. L's outburst had sent him back to death. He just stood there and looked at the heavily breathing detective.

Since when did L freak out like this?

Light felt horribly guilty for what he had done to L. He looked like he was going to faint from stress.

L slowly rested his head onto Light's chest.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you, but please don't do this again!"

L was panting on his chest. He let go of Light's wrists and let them slide behind the teen. Not hugging, but around him so he could feel the boy. It gave him the assurance that he had Light, safe and tight by him.

Light's arms went around L's head and held him there steadily. All he was able to do was to hold the detective. He wanted to do everything possible to make L feel better again.

L slowly rose back to Light's face, looking deeply into those chocolate brown eyes of his. One of his hands made its way to the boy's hair and slowly slipped through it. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Just tell me next time, ok?"

Light couldn't say anything, he just nodded.

L pulled Light into a tight embrace.

Suddenly, the elevator opened.

Both parted and L's grip went back to Light's arm. This time it was his hand. He was holding it softly but still secure.

He pulled him in and pushed some buttons.

As they exited, L went straight for the investigation room. All eyes were set on them.

"Heck, where were you Kira?"

"It's Light! And he was for a walk." L answered for him. He knew that Light was to shocked to say anything.

"And wh-"

"It doesn't matter! As long as he is back"

L's breathing had eased up a little, but it was still heavy.

"Please wait here, Light. I'll be right back"

Light just stood there stoned as L left him with the other.

Near walked over to him and got him back from dreamland.

"Do you know that L ranted like that for over two and a half hours? Your lucky he didn't bite you head off when he saw you."

Light didn't respond to it.

"Where the heck were you anyway?"

"Downstairs…"

"And where downstairs?"

"…" Light didn't know what he should say. The floors didn't have a number after you passed the entrance. He was lost.

"Just don't do it again, ok?"

Light nodded. After this event he wouldn't be leave their room for a long time. He didn't know if he could take a outburst like earlier again.

"How long was I away?"

"About five hours."

Oh. Shit…Light thought that he had been away for only 3 hours. But five???

L reentered the room. He had a bag in his hand. It was containing something noisy.

"Can I have you hand for a moment, Light?"

Light obeyed swiftly. He stared at the detective the entire time.

It had been the wrong thing to do.

In a matter of a second, he felt a cold metal corrupt with his wrist. It sounded very familiar.

Handcuffs.

They were connecting him to L's wrist.

"This should solve my problems from now on!"

L smiled at him.

Light felt like he was about to drop dead.
