"You know I fucking hate this…" Beyond muttered lowly over the phone to L as he peered at the entrance to police headquarters from beneath the brim of a black fedora. "I'm going to kill Watari for breaking his ankle and forcing me to-"

"Stop whining B…for godsakes," L replied in exasperation. "I'll blow you when you get back, alright?" The dark haired Alpha grinned wickedly as he leaned back against one of the marble columns outside of the NPA building. The black trench coat he wore allowed him to blend into the shadows as he waited for the time he would go to meet with the officers inside, acting as L's liaison.

"Mmm, I already knew that darling." He growled out. "And believe me, it better be world class for having to put up with this shit…" Beyond's voice trailed off as his burgundy-hued eyes caught sight of a young brunet, hair glinting in the sun as he strolled towards the main doors of the building. The broad smile on his face radiated a warmth that took the man's breath away and stirred something inside him.

"You know I don't give half-ass head." He retorted with playful indignation. "So shut up and get in there. Meeting starts in ten…Watari." The raven snickered and hung up.

"Uh huh…talk to you…later…" He mumbled dazedly as he hung up, walking slowly forward and cautiously peering inside the windows to see if he could spot the young man once more. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he saw him go through security and start heading towards the elevators.

He blatantly stared as his feet carried him forward without thinking, hungrily soaking in every glimpse he could get. Beautiful boy…why are you here at the police station? Hmm, I wonder if he's an Omega? I have to know… Beyond decided as he moved swiftly, eyes on his prey as ingrained Alpha instincts to track down the gorgeous creature kicked in.

The dark haired male flashed his temporary access badge to security and went straight through the front checkpoint, but was unable to catch up to the young man before the elevator doors closed. Beyond pushed the 'up' button and watched impatiently as it ascended, not stopping until it reached the top floor.

His head cocked to the side, a puzzled look on his face for a moment as he tried to figure out exactly what the beguiling brunet could be doing visiting the floor where the offices of the detectives were located. Is he visiting his Alpha? Beyond let a possessive snarl slip from his lips at the idea.

What is wrong with me? He chastised himself as he got in the elevator upon its return and pushed the button for the top floor before taking a deep breath.

Then it hit him. The faintest, lingering sweetness…a delicious and intoxicating scent.

His pupils dilated with lust at the trace remnants of the young man's scent. Strawberries…fucking hell. Are you kidding me? The detective grinned stupidly as he leaned back against the wall, soaking it in. Whoever you are…

I'm going to find you…

And make you ours…

"Hi Matsuda, do you know where my father is?" Light asked the man hurrying by as he stepped from the elevator. The young NPA detective glanced at him in surprise and smiled.

"Oh, hey there Light! He's just heading into a meeting…actually, that's where I'm going too, but you could wait in his office for him if you'd like. It should only last for about a half hour." The Beta assured him.

Light nodded and headed into his Dad's office, a flare of disappointment running through him. He wished he could be in meetings like that someday. It was a bitter pill to swallow, being so close to the work he admired and enjoyed helping with in secret so much...and realizing he would never truly be part of it. He loved visiting, but it killed a little part of him every time he did. Slowly rotting away at the core of him.

It was never enough to make Light stop coming down to the station though. His inquisitive mind and passion for detective work won out every time he was given the chance to visit. I wonder if that makes me a masochist of some sort. Light let out a sigh as he sat the bag of clothes down on the desk, gaze widening slightly with curiosity as he eyed his father's computer. The young Omega glanced back through the doorway and saw that the office appeared fairly empty.

Hmm…they must all be in the meeting. I bet it's about the serial murders. The brunet reached out to quietly close the office door before sitting down at the desk and typing in Soichiro's password…something he had long since figured out. Light pulled up the case file and began to read through the latest developments and findings, curious regarding what had been happening since he'd added his most recent notes.

He grinned broadly about twenty minutes later, pleased as he reviewed the latest case notes, one of which was from L, expressing interest in a theory Light had suggested. It was regarding similarities he'd identified that appeared to span across multiple victims and crimes scenes of the murderer.

Light had been excited to discover the trend and add his thoughts on it to the file. He hoped the deduction might prove useful, giving the police and L further insight to determine likely potential victims and predict the killer's next move. The mysterious detective's own notes went on to say that he would like further elaboration from the team on the theory…

"…at the meeting today." Light murmured. Shit…what if my Dad gets in trouble with L because he doesn't know who put the notes in the file? I…I never meant to… The scent of his distress began to fill the room as he shot out of the chair. I should go…

Light strode to the door and cautiously peered out, breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was at their desks at the moment. The brunet Omega made a bee-line for the elevator, looking around nervously as he tried to calm his breathing.

Just need to get out of-

*thump*

Light gasped as he collided with another man coming around the corner, stumbling back and starting to fall before being caught by a pair of strong hands that grasped his forearms and pulled him back upright. Which also had the unfortunate side-effect of propelling him into their arms.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry…" Light mumbled, ducking his head in embarrassment as he leaned back from the broad, strong chest he'd slammed into. The Alpha's scent of leather and oak filled his senses, a slight smoky warmth around the edges reminded him of roaring fires and cozy winter nights wrapped in blankets.

As the Omega looked up, his eyes met a pair of deep burgundy-hued irises, peering at him from beneath a black fedora. He fervently hoped that the other man wouldn't be one of those stereotypical of his dynamic to anger easily…

I've never seen him around here before…damn he smells so good. Oh jeez, I need to stop that right now…what's wrong with me?

"Are you alright?" The man's dark, rich voice vibrated through him where they touched, causing an almost imperceptible hitch in the young man's breath at the sensation.

Almost being the key word. The man's mouth curved up at the edges as he took in Light's reaction.

"Yes…thank you." The young man quickly replied, stepping back to extricate himself. He turned and moved rapidly towards the elevator, pushing the button and tapping his foot restlessly until it arrived moments later and he hurried inside.

He heard the voices of those returning from the meeting growing closer and drove his finger into the ground floor button a few times, although he knew that would make no difference regarding how fast the doors would close. He just couldn't take a chance that anyone coming out of the meeting might stop him before he could leave.

I just can't deal with that right now…if my dad is upset because something happened with the case due to those notes, I don't think I could handle it. Light was thankful when the doors closed as he heard his Dad's voice mixed in with the approaching team.

"Light's in my office? Thank you Matsuda…"

The brunet sighed with relief, sinking back against the wall of the elevator as he began to descend.

"Are you really sure you're alright?"

Light's eyes snapped open to view the unexpected second occupant of the elevator. Shit, he must've gotten on while I was distracted…

The man gazed at Light from beneath the brim of his hat, his wine-hued eyes heated with want as he assessed him.

Oh…I know that look. The brunet sighed internally. Another Alpha out for a piece of Omega ass…

"Not interested." Light replied, turning from him coldly as the lift descended.

The other man simply laughed in response, which earned him a sharp glance from the young Omega. "Oooh, feisty…well you can rest assured sweetheart, I don't intend to molest you in an elevator…unless you ask me too." He murmured, giving the brunet a playful wink.

"Pervert…"

"When the occasion demands it…but darling, for you, I'd be the perfect gentleman." The man placed his hand over his heart in promise and smiled, a dark gleam in his gaze even now. Light had to admit there was something about this mysterious Alpha that drew him in, but…

Light rolled his eyes at the man as the elevator arrived at the ground floor, stepping out to swiftly stride forward and leave him behind. It soon became clear, however, that this man had no intention of letting that happen as he fell into step next to Light.

"Can I help you?" Light asked him in a saccharine sweet tone as he walked to the exit, having just the slightest bit of fun messing with the other man at this point as he bit back a smirk. Because if he's really interested, he better work for it…wait, what am I thinking? I don't want him to be-

"I was hoping to buy you coffee to make up for practically mowing you down upstairs…it's the least I can do." He said with a sly side-long glance at the brunet. Light let out a small huff of laughter.

"Hmm, is that so." Light had to admit, the man was attractive and an Alpha. What was the harm? He was going to have to find a mate soon, it couldn't help to meet a few Alphas, get over any discomfort with the idea of being courted…

He stopped suddenly as they exited to face the other man and sighed. "I can't believe I'm even considering this." He murmured.

"Okay, here's the deal…umm…" He looked to the other man, realizing he didn't know his name yet.

"B…you can call me B." He said with a smile.

Light raised an eyebrow at the unique moniker and immediately wondered if this man had anything to do with the elusive L, given his timing of being at the station during the meeting. Ok, now you've got my interest really peaked Mr. Dark and Dangerous…

"Alright, B…I'll meet you here for coffee tomorrow at 11am." He gestured across the street. "We can go to that coffee shop." His gaze narrowed slightly as he continued.

"Just know that my father is an NPA officer…" A flicker of something akin to curiosity flickered through the man's gaze as he mentioned that. "…so if you try anything, your ass won't be seeing the outside of a jail cell for a very long time." He smiled brightly as he finished. "Alright…so I'll see you then?"

Beyond nodded, slightly dazed from the encounter as he watched the young Omega turn and begin walking away. Light got most of the way down the block before he finally heard the Alpha call out after him.

"Wait! What's your name?"

Light turned and continued walking backward, giving the man a shit eating grin before turning once more and continuing on his way. You're going to have to earn that buddy. He thought with a smirk.
