C and I stepped back into see Beyond and Light talking to one another like no bad blood ever existed, like they'd been friends forever. Light had been stressed about being alone with Beyond, he even looked tired. Or perhaps, that's what it looks like when a weight is lifted off your chest, one that's been crushing you for years. His eyes locked with mine. I'm 43% sure that he's happier. But, I'm beginning to wonder how accurate my deductions have been… A few days ago, I distinctly recall thinking that we weren't going to get along.

C stretched and yawned, "Unlike you lucky kids, I, however have to work in the morning."

Beyond smiled and hopped up. Then smiled at us, "Night, love birds."

I stood haunched over as Beyond walked past me and into the same room as C. I placed my finger onto my lips, they never told us where an acceptable place would be for Light to sleep… or where the bathroom was… I shifted uncomfortably, realizing my need to use the facilities. Great.

Light smiled at me sitting at the simple wooden table, "I've been meaning the ask the same question… But, he kept talking, and I didn't want to interrupt him." We both shared a quiet chuckle.

"No harm in looking? It's not a big place. I'm sure we'll stumble upon it. Then we'll worry about where you'll sleep."

"We'll." He corrected.

I sighed, he's not going to allow me to indulge my usual habits. Smiling weakly, he walked over to me and held me tightly. Something happens to me when he holds me… I feel… Invincible. Illogical. No man is invincible. He kissed my nose. I love his touch, but I hate when he scrambles my thoughts in such a way.

Light stepped over and peeked into a door, "Well… Found the bedroom!"

I smiled softly and turned the knob to another door… Guess it wasn't that hard. I found it. I glanced at Light who shifted his weight, I stepped aside and gave a soft smile, "You go ahead, you take longer to get ready for bed anyway."

Light kissed my cheek as he walked by. I waited by the door waiting for him to finish, of the three rooms along the north side of the home it was the one in the center, Caspian seemed to have taken the one towards the east, smart, considering if I'm understanding his work demeanor he's gone before the sun rises.

I glance up as Light exits the bathroom and walks towards the bedroom. All this talk, I think has twisted my morals, my eyes lingered longer than they should have. No, I mustn't be distracted, I must stay vigilant. I like him, it seems that he likes me… But, a man who can keep his entire identity secret from his family? Who knows what a mind so shrewd could be capable of. This could all still be a ploy… A ruse to weaken me. I can't be derailed with matters such as this. My goal is to graduate and return to England as soon as possible. I can't be thinking about anything short of my desire to be a detective.

I glanced around the room semi timidly, Caspian is also a mind I don't wish to battle with… He was brave enough to leave home to an unknown country, resourceful enough to come to Japan. Luck, perhaps… My thoughts are interrupted with a loud thud and a groan. Are they fighting? I knew Caspian wasn't particularly fond of us staying… But, physically hurting Beyond?

"You bit me!" My eyes widened when I heard Caspian shriek.

"Be quiet!" Beyond said aggressively. Oh. My. God… If there is one… Beyond is hurting HIM?! I was out of the bathroom and throwing the door open ready to stand in between a lover's quarrel… Only to realize… To my embarrassment, it was quite the opposite.

They both stared at me faces both embarrassed and annoyed. "Ah! Jesus fucking Christ, L!" Beyond growled.

Caspian just gave a silent glare and flopped over next to Beyond. "This. This is your fault, Beyond. You get to fix it."

Beyond blinked at him, "Um. Well…" Then began blushing.

Caspian groaned, "L. Go. Out. I'll be there in a second." His voice was borderline venomous.

I retreated out of the room backwards face flushed bright red, I stumbled backwards and ran into Light. Who was brushing his teeth. Out of either insanity or desperation, I hid behind him, as Caspian's heavy and angry steps could be heard. Light paused, I could see his mind working the situation, he's analyzing, assessing and deciding.

Caspian cleared his throat and picked me up by my shirt with one arm… What is it with people and picking me up?! As he took a deep breath to start shouting at me. We both paused and stared at each other before looking at Light who had promptly stuck his toothbrush into Caspian's ear, giving him a squeaky clean wet willy… "First of all, what happened, second of all, he doesn't need to be off the ground to be terrified of you. Third of all, I stuck my tooth brush in your ear so you'd answer my question."

Caspian shot an angry glare at Light who didn't seem to budge or back down. "Which was?"

Light pulled his toothbrush back and eyed it, "I've asked you twice now, by now you've heard me."

Caspian narrowed his eyes and set me down, he's surprisingly toned with muscle. He sat on the couch and cupped his face. "L walked in on us." Dragging his hands down his face.

Light folded his arms and shot me a disapproving glance. What?! I thought they were killing each other… Should I say this? I brought my finger up to my lips, no. Light will want to heard my side.

"Alright, as frustrating as that may be, as Beyond has been out of town, don't you think, maybe, since he's never even heard the term uke, that just maybe he thought something else was happening?" Light shifted his weight then sat next to Caspian setting his hand gently on his shoulder blade.

Caspian looked up and opened his mouth to respond but dropped his gaze back to the floor. "Sorry, L. I'm going back to bed. Goodnight." Unbelievable… The man went from blind rage to… I'm sorry?

"I'm sorry. C. I didn't know. It won't happen again." I didn't know what else to say, I'm too blown away at Light's ability to deescalate the situation in mere seconds.

Light gave me a happy smile and walked back into the bathroom to rinse the rest of his toothpaste from his mouth. I should definitely be wary of his mind. And, apparently, his immediate environment. Staring outside for a moment as Light walked into the bedroom, "I'm not going to bed until you come." Oh, you stubborn-! I suppose I could play his silly little game, he won't last nearly as long awake as I would… I'm accustomed to not sleeping and he didn't sleep well at all last night. Smirking silently to myself. I shouldn't. He just saved me from C's wrath. Sighing, I shuffled my way to the bedroom.

I walked into the bedroom to see him fanning… The window? What in the good name of justice? I shrug off his odd smile and behavior. Perching myself on the bed and laid next to me. "Light… Will you explain these terms I do not understand?"
