A/N this story will contain one-sided BxL yaoi. You no like it, don't read it.
L lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He no longer cared about anything anymore. He would stay here for the rest of his life if he could.
There was a knock at his door.
"Come in," he said.
Beyond opened the door and walked up to sit on the bed beside L.
"Are you okay?" he asked, voice sincere but eyes smirking.
"…"
"You miss A, don't you? I know how you feel. I miss him, too. But at least we're still here. We're still alive, and that's a good thing, right?"
L sighed.
"I guess so," he said.
Beyond lay down and snuggled close to L, nuzzling his face into L's neck.
"It'll be alright. I promise."
L blushed. Beyond was way too close.
"Beyond, could you please give me a little space?"
Beyond pressed himself in tighter against L.
"Just let me make you feel better, okay?" Beyond asked.
He rested his chin on the juncture of L's neck and shoulder.
"Don't worry about a thing," he said. "I'll always be here to comfort you, L. because I like you."
Because I love you, he thought, but didn't dare to speak aloud. He didn't know how L would react if he admitted that just yet. A (his favoritestudent) was still fresh in his mind. But B would make him forget.
I'll make sure I'm the only one he ever thinks about. Can't you see it, L? I want to be the center of your world. I want you. Please want me back. That's all I want. To make you forget all about A. I want to get to know you better than the likes of him. I want to be the only one you care about. Not any of the cases you work on, not anybody else in this orphanage. Just me.
He wrapped his arms around L, who remained immovable.
Unemotional.
Unfeeling.
Just wait, L. Someday you will be mine.

"This the kid?" the mercenary asked.
"Yep. A genuine photograph of L Lawliet stolen from Wammy's House. You think you can handle him?"
"Piece of cake. The kid's as good as dead."

Beyond watched the sun set behind the mountains through a stained glass window, distorting everything and turning the outside world all sorts of interesting hues.
L was reading to the other children, but Beyond wasn't listening. He never had any patience for storytelling.
Beyond laid down and stretched himself out on the floor. His eyes drifted closed, he was just about to fall asleep…
CRASH!
There was a bang, then the shattering of the ornate glass window. Then a sharp, sudden gasp.
Beyond shot upward just in time to see L slump over in the velvet armchair, blood pouring freely from a hole in his chest.
