Startling awake Beyond slowly opened his eyes, dreading to see what was clinging to him. Once his eyes were opened he had to blink several more times in disbelief, 'He's… Still here?'

The illumination from the window casted a tranquil lighting on a young brunette who clung to Beyond's midsection. His hair reflecting soft hues of golden honey mixed with a gentle copper shimmers scattered throughout the head of hair. Letting his eyes wander, taking in the serene slumbering boy. Beyond smirked when his eyes landed on a small freckle on Light's cheekbone, just below his right eye. His eyebrows twitched slightly as the sleeping boy stirred.

Glancing his scarlet eyes away he felt the arms around him tighten then release slightly. He shifted his eyes back to the other and felt his breath hitch at the sight of Light's brilliant golden eyes staring at him. "Morning." Beyond nodded wordlessly, ensnared by Light's stare. The brunette laughed quietly, "What?" The corners of Beyond's mouth curved upwards slightly, 'I'm surprised he hasn't left… I'm a little glad he didn't. Waking up like this… Is nice.'

Light returned the small smile and rested his head back down on his cuddle companion, a smile stretched across his lips while he listened to the steady heartbeat of the other. He chuckled subtly when he felt the vibrations in the chest of the older male, "Mm… Indeed… It is morning."

Looking up to Beyond, Light could feel a slight blush creeping onto his cheeks, 'Oh! Crap! I slept here! I was supposed to leave after he fell asleep. He stayed awake longer than I did.' Light mentally scolded himself, 'So stupid! He probably thinks you're clingy now. Or worse… Needy.' Light shifted a bashful stare into Beyond's eyes and wasn't disappointed with the reaction. He heard the raven haired man's breath hitch for the second time this morning, 'Or maybe… He's lonely.'

Watching the brunette's shy display Beyond bit his lip, not meaning for his breath to hitch, but he's sure it might have. 'He's cute before he guards himself.' Berating himself mentally, 'I can't grow complacent with him. How could I? What would he want with someone like me…' Staring into golden pools he felt a slight pain run through his chest, 'Stop it. You promised yourself… Never again. Remember?' Beyond flinched slightly at the touch of warmth on his cheek.

Light rested his hand on the other's cheek, 'What could be wrapping itself so tightly in his mind this early? Maybe it is me… I should go. Yeah, that's it. Maybe he isn't lonely and he wants me to leave.' Nodding to himself, Light started to retreat his hand, only to have it caught. Flicking his eyes back up to a pair of shining vermilion eyes. That seemed to be irresolute.

Light's honeyed eyes trailed along the porcelain like skin, that almost seemed to be translucent from a lack of sun. His eyes landed on the pale lips that were surprisingly full. Trailing his eyes up taking in the sight of the other, 'He's almost ethereal. He's beautiful in his own rights…' A tiny smirk crept along Light's own lips when his eyes landed on the obsidian haired boy's nose, 'His nose is adorable…' Light felt like his breath had been stolen from his chest when he locked eye contact with the other and heard his words. "Please. Don't go." The brunette found himself nodding with a dumbfounded expression.

The older male pulled him into his arms a little tighter, all while mentally chastising himself once again. 'Stop it. You're not worth anyone's feelings. Stop letting him make you feel this way. Distance, you need distance. Stop pulling him in closer. Stop it. Stop. Stop!' Beyond felt his eyes close slowly when Light brushed his lips against his.

Light felt like his heart might explode, he could feel tiny goosebumps raising all over his body as Beyond delicately pulled the hem of the younger man's shirt up. Light released a breathy moan when he felt the nimble fingertips massaging the small of his back. 'God… What else can those fingers do…' Biting his own lower lip, 'How far will he let this go?' Perching himself on Beyond's hips he stared into the burning embers with a smoldering stare, longing for his response.

The response wasn't what he was expecting. Beyond propped himself up on his elbows, tilting his head up to stare into Light's eyes. Witnessing, for a fraction of a second, Light saw both lust and endearment flash in the other's ruby like eyes. Dropping his stare from Beyond, he closed his eyes and leaned into a bruising kiss, causing the other to gasp slightly and lose his balance.

Slender fingers traveled up the back of Light's shirt slowly pulling it with them. A dark grin passed Light's supple lips as he yanked his own shirt over his head and casted a lustful stare at the man below him. He smirked when the obsidian haired male's eyes widened. Light lewdly licked his lower lip before tenderly clamping onto it with his teeth, glancing away, mocking a bashful and innocent expression.

'I want him.'

Light sighed contently when he was flipped onto the bed, his back against the plush mattress as ebony hair dragged down his waist leaving a trail of sensual kisses and playful nips on his velvety skin. The younger man arched his back, having his posterior leave the bed entirely and groaned hotly and shivered at the sensation of nails dragging down his back. Beyond's hands and arms supporting his weight before his shoulders touched back down onto the bottom of the pillow. Gasping out, Light implored pleadingly, "Please…"


Light sat at the table with his eyes trained down, 'No. Not going to fall for it Misa… Oh god! I have to tell someone!' She grinned happily when Light glanced up to her, "What happened?!"

Light blushed slightly and sat in close proximity to the blonde, "Smell me."

Misa crinkled her nose, "Say what?"

The brunette rolled his eyes, "Just do it! Before we run out of time for me to explain." His eyes darted around the cafeteria nervously searching for the other residents of wing six.

The bubbly woman leaned over and sniffed her companion in a dignified manner, "You smell like…" She knit her eyebrows together in thought, a small wrinke forming between her eyes as she breathed in his scent once again, "You smell like… Oceany… But kind of like a dark rum… Not to sound creepy… But you usually smell girlier. Kind of like fruit..." Misa remarked as she raised her eyebrows, "Did you smuggle cologne in? Is that the big secret?"

Rolling his eyes Light sighed. "No. The big secret is; I accidentally switched shirts with Beyond."

Misa nodded her head matter-of-factly before her dazzling blue eyes widened almost past a normal amount, "And how did that accidentally happen!" She shouted accusingly.

Light shushed her with a finger over his lips, keeping his voice hushed, "It's your fault! I took your advice!" A bright blush lit her face up. "I kind of don't want to give it back…" Light glanced down to the table with a hint of a blush.

Misa leaned over and whispered in a hush, "I mean, I knew my advice was solid... But damn. It worked in one go?" Light gave her a serious stare and nodded slowly. Neither aware to the approaching figure.

Both Light and Misa visibly jumped when another tray was set in front of the two. Both sets of eyes glanced up to Beyond who stared at them with a minor hint of being startled himself, "Uh. Hi?" His voice carried a small amount of nervousness to it.

The blonde grinned evilly as an idea passed her mind, "Morning!" Her full lips curved into a smile, "How'd you sleep last night."

Beyond shrugged and started tearing the pancake into smaller pieces, "The usual. Nightmares. How about you miss mischievousness?"

Misa hung her head slightly, "Oh. I got into an argument with one of the other girls and she might have said I can't do anything but hop around and be stupid and cute… But that's my job! Then I got upset and told her that I work out a lot and love sports too… Then she challenged me to a volleyball game… I don't have anyone to play with me." Her crystal clear eyes shot up to meet Beyond's crimson. She added a long drawn out, sad sigh.

Light placed a hand on her shoulder, "I'm not much help, but I'll play. I played with my sister and her friends whenever they were players short of having even teams… My sister would always argue to be on my team… So I guess I'm pretty good."

Both of their stares landed on Beyond who shook his hands in front of his defensively. "Oh no. I'm not falling for the pout faces!" He looked away purposely avoiding both of his younger friend's stares. He glanced back only to be caught by Light's eyes. Beyond slumped his shoulders and hung his head, "Fine… We'll have to talk the others into it though, but if they won't play, I won't."


Misa sighed as the girls all lined up on the other side of the net, a brunette with long hair and cheek length bangs chastised her, "You know… Misa, you'll need more than Naomi to play." Misa shifted an uncomfortable stare to the girl with long jet black hair who shrugged.

A sharp whistle was heard before a volleyball made contact with the brunette's face. "This might be easier than I thought…" A deep voice purred, causing Misa to relax instantly, 'About time, Beyond!' The voice continued, "If you keep playing with your face though… We might lose guys!"

Misa and Naomi giggled as the residents of wing six met them on their side of the net. Light bowed to both of them, "It took me and Beyond some time to convince the others to play. Caspian is only playing so we wouldn't be short a player."

Caspian folded his arms and nodded silently. The girls gave each other a knowing smile and Misa chirped happily, "I'm so glad you guys decided to play with us!"

The scowling girls on the opposing side of the net all huddled together in discussion. "I knew she was friends with wing six… But I never dreamed she's rope them into playing…" A chorus of displeased grumbles was heard.

One of the girls looked back to see Beyond expertly spinning the ball on his finger then occasionally bouncing it off the back of Near's head. The younger male scowled at the raven haired boy who laughed lightheartedly. She raised her eyebrows in curiosity when a younger blonde stole the ball from him and ran away with it. Beyond chasing after him, both laughing loudly. "Mello! You punk!"

Her eyes landed on another raven haired male who stood next to the brunette who talked with Misa and Naomi. 'She's lucky... It must be nice to have friends who actually want to be there for you... Maybe we've been too hard on her...' The two that were chasing ran past another blonde who stood much taller than the younger blonde. His arms were folded, his scrutinizing eyes landed on her.

She tugged on the other girls shirts as the opposing group was lined up and ready to play. Misa in the rear ready to serve. "Are you guys ready?!" She giggled out lightheartedly before tossing the ball up into the air and rocketing it over the net with ease.


A/N: Sorry for the delay, on top of having a severe case of ADHD. I honestly couldn't decide how I wanted this chapter to play out... I would be lying to you if I told you I didn't mind fuck the shit out of this chapter.

That... And, as stated before... I have a nasty case of the: can't sit down and writes. And when I do, it's sporadic... You may or may not know, but to keep my muses straight, so my stories don't become emotionally compromised I have now, including this one, 17 current stories, most of which are Death Note. And like 7 of them being on true hold, most of which aren't Death Note. I have never abandoned a story. Never will. :)

BUT! In light of making you wait... -smirks- no pun intended. I gave out a little bit... A lot of bit of fan service.

I am starting to consider the possibility that this fandom is taking over my life -hangs head-

Responses:

ArgentHaze: You might find that he isn't a true sociopath. -grins- oh please. BBxLight are one of my OTP non-cacnonverse. Aside from that, Beyond is a messed up guy. So too be a little fair towards him. We'll have to understand he went through some bullshit, that comes into view a little later.

MyNameIsBlinky: Yes. Beyond, L and Light all have some seriously messed up reasons to be where they are. But I can tell you one thing for sure. They all have a major thing in common. We'll uproot more of Beyond's past as well as L's. Lights is one that's probably just going to punch us in the face ;)

Lucasarnus12: I'm glad you're looking forward to reading more!
