HOLA! I'm quite shocked. I've actually updated when I said I would...YAY! :')
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note...If I did Beyond would totally have his own anime series full of his epic win Bad-ass serial killing moments...
A young Beyond shuffled down the cobbled pavement, his eyes focused on the shadow of the man he was following that was darkening the aforementioned pavement. He realised that all the children were staring at him; he could feel their eyes boring into him. But he daren't look up. It wasn't that Beyond was nervous, nor shy. It was because he was scared; scared of what he would see when he looked up, scared of what he was always too tempted to look at whenever he laid eyes on someone.
The numbers. The dancing numbers that sealed everyone's fate.
So that's why his eyes stayed firmly on the ground beneath him, he didn't want to know how long these children had left to live. He couldn't know because if one were to be soon, he'd probably say something mysterious regarding it, only to be suspected when they abruptly died not long after his ambiguous statement. Just like before.
Yes. Keeping his head down was definitely the safest option.
Despite his constant gaze on the ground, Beyond somehow managed to trip on one of the steps leading into the large building that loomed overhead. A large bang sounded as Beyond collided with that rocky surface, the small boy suppressed a whimper at the pain that throbbed throughout his knees.
A mere few seconds past before Beyond began making an attempt at standing again. He'd just turned round and was moments away from hoisting himself up when a hand swiftly shot in front of his face. Beyond stared at said hand for a while before his eyes began travelling up the arm to whom it belonged, his eyes had just reached the others persons neck when Beyond clenched his eyes shut.
Close. Beyond thought to himself. I almost looked...I can't do that again. Besides, he'll almost definitely notice the abnormal colour of my eyes. No. I'll just have to appear ignorant; it's much kinder to both he and I.
It was much more difficult trying to get up with his eyes shut then Beyond had originally thought, nevertheless, a few stumbles later he was once again standing firmly on two feet.
Making sure his eyes were shadowed by his hair Beyond slowly opened them, focusing them on the ground - he inwardly groaned as they landed on a pair of feet that stood in front of him. Why did this kid just not leave already?
Desperately trying to resist temptation, Beyond turned to leave. Unfortunately before he could take even one step, his arm was grabbed - forcing him to turn back around to his former position.
"I just wanted to introduce myself before you leave. It's just polite..." The small boy chirped enthusiastically. "...So hello, my names Always."
Beyond continued looking at the ground, he mumbled incoherently before attempting to turn away yet again. Attempting being the emphasized word, for the hand was still clamped around his arm - preventing his departure.
Sighing loudly Beyond made a decision. Fine. If this boy wouldn't just get the message and leave then he would look. He'd look, reveal his eyes and possibly scar the boy for life - If only he'd left him alone.
Slowly raising his eyes, Beyond took in the boys delicate features, the pestering child looked around Beyond's age, possibly a bit younger. Beyond didn't fail to notice how the chestnut-haired boy smiled triumphantly when he caught Beyond's eye.
Gulping heavily Beyond continued travelling up the other boy's face, until his eyes rested on the space above his head.
Always Above.
931756.
Beyond sighed in relief - At least he was going to live a long life.
When he looked back at Always, Beyond expected to see a face filled with horror, shock and disgust. Instead it was the exact same expression that had inhabited always face moments previously. Not horrified, not terrified, not disgusted. It looked nothing like the face of a boy who'd obviously just witnessed the abnormality that was Beyond's true eyes.
Could this boy become a friend of mine?
"Uhh...My names Beyond..." He spoke just loudly enough for Always to hear.
Maybe. Beyond thought. Just maybe he could...
Hope you all liked it :)
