Light felt a mix of emotions race through him as he reviewed the case file after getting dressed for his date. It appeared that L had been understanding of the mysterious detective's desire to remain anonymous in leaving case notes and recommendations in the files, given his own position of complete and utter secrecy regarding his identity as L.

However, the detective had raised concerns about such a talent being under-utilized by the NPA if it was not identified. L recommended that they take the time to encourage the detective to step forward so his skill set could be employed to its full ability, both in the instance of this case and in future cases.

Light was both elated at L's recognition of his aptitude for detective work and despairing that he would never have the opportunity to pursue a career in the field.

"It's not fair…" He whispered softly to himself. Frustrated as he gave a slight kick to the corner of his desk before sighing heavily and rising from his chair to head downstairs. Why can't I…

No. He ordered himself as he swiftly strode to the main level of their family home. I can't think like that, can't have hope that there will ever be something more. Light grit his teeth and yanked on his jacket, slipping his feet into a pair of loafers near the door.

I have to make the best of what's been given me…lemons out of lemonade. God, that's such bull shit. Light shook his head in disbelief as he headed out the door and tried to focus on the positive things in his life.

Best thing I can hope for now is to find amazing Alphas who treats me right and I can hopefully grow to love… Light bit down on his lip, rolling it between his teeth nervously as he made his way down the street to catch the bus. He couldn't wait to see the two very interesting and attractive Alphas once more for their dates, and in Ryuzaki's case, he was hoping that the man was able to bring his Alpha mate Beyond along with him as well.

A small smile spread across Light's face, his pace quickening as his feet tapped along the pavement en route to his destination.

I can't have it all, but maybe…maybe I can have something that makes this lot in life I've been given more bearable. The Omega didn't dare to believe that some great love was in the cards for him and his future mates. His greatest hope had to be finding Alphas with whom he shared a mutual attraction and who would take good care of him. He didn't want to delude himself into believing that more was even a possibility.

Light breathed deeply in the crisp morning air as he strode along, deep in thought regarding the two Alphas he was scheduled to meet that morning and hoping that everything went well.

B's wicked smirk flashed in his mind…

Ryuzaki's sweet grin played at the edge of his consciousness…

Light's smile broadened further, as his earlier worries melted away, happily lost in daydreams about both Alphas as he made his way to the coffee shop.

Beyond tugged at the collar of his trench coat, his fedora low over his face as he made his way from the NPA offices. The Alpha mulled over the progress they'd made in the case overnight. The connections made by one of the detectives, tying those pieces of evidence together, were going to be used to create a victim profile today.

L had given the NPA the green light to work on this, but he and Beyond both knew that they'd be creating their own profile as well to assess likely next victims and an updated one on the killer using this new information. After all, one of B's greatest talents was profiling. L had once told him that he'd never met anyone more able to slip into the head of a killer than him.

Beyond couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corner of his mouth at the memory. Of course, L had meant it in the most flattering way possible. But they'd both joked at the time that if anyone could pull off the perfect murder, it would surely have to be him.

The dark haired male looked at the time on his phone and noticed he had several minutes before he was suppoed to meet the brunet as he exited the building. The Alpha popped into an alley and removed the jacket and fedora, shoving them into his bag with the laptop before heading out into the morning light once more.

"Shit…" He winced at the bright sun, sliding a pair of sunglasses on before running a hand through his unruly hair. Satisfied that he'd changed enough that he wouldn't be identified as "Watari" anymore if spotted by an NPA officer, the Alpha made his way across the street to the coffee shop.

He felt his face break into a ridiculous grin as he saw the young Omega coming from the opposite direction. The brunet looked even more delicious than Beyond remembered if that was even possible. His eyes worshiped the young man's angelic features from a distance. The way he held himself, tall and confident…his lithe form cutting an elegant path as he advanced. As he caught sight of the Alpha, his answering smile and small, shy wave made the man's heart skip a beat.

Yup…I'm a goner. He thought to himself as he pulled the door to the café open for the young man to enter.

"Thank you." The Omega's cheeks flushed slightly as he passed by and Beyond followed closely behind, so many questions floating through his mind that he wanted to ask, things he wanted to know…

But one single word overrode them all as it reverberated through every nerve of his body…

Mine.

Light squeaked internally as he first caught sight of the Alpha standing before the café.

Oh dear god… He smiled automatically at B as their eyes met, but all he could think as he gave a slight wave was that the man looked like pure sin. The Omega hadn't gotten a look at the full package with the trench coat he'd been wearing the previous day, but now, he was able to drink it all in.

And he wasn't sure if he could quench the thirst that suddenly swept through him, no matter how long he gazed.

The brunet's eyes sneakily traveled downward as he grew closer. After taking in the sight of the man's delectably just fucked hair, they trailed lower to view the fitted black dress shirt that encased a pair of strong arms and shoulders that led to a torso and hips that-

Light felt his cheeks flush as he thought about those hips being slotted between his thighs. He murmured his thanks to the other man for holding the door open for him on the way inside as he quickly turned his face away to hide his reaction.

Stop acting so weird. He told himself. If I keep this up and he's going to smell exactly what I'm feeling…probably think I'm a stupid, horny teenager…

The Omega was happy to see that his favorite booth was open as he led the Alpha towards the back. He liked this café because every booth felt like a private seating area, with partitions between them. It provided a quiet environment for studying. The brunet would often check out books from the massive library nearby and bring them here to read up on the various subjects that he wasn't given a chance to be educated on in class.

He'd found that as long as he continued to order coffee once in a while and smiled sweetly at the waitresses, they were fine with leaving him to occupy the space for hours on end. Light was glad to take advantage as he filled his mind with as much knowledge as he pleased.

As the young man sat down and gazed across the table into the stunning burgundy-hued eyes B revealed as he removed his sunglasses, all coherent thought flew from his mind. The Alpha gave him a curious smile before slowly leaning forward, placing his elbows on the table and resting his chin on his clasped hands to look at Light.

"What I wouldn't give to know what was going on in that head of yours right now," B muttered thoughtfully.

Light fought off the blush that wanted to spread out across his entire being at the sound of the man's rough voice, an edge of a growl to it even now. The Omega cleared his throat and smiled calmly. "I'm thinking about coffee."

"Mmm, sure you were sweetheart." He smirked knowingly at the brunet.

"Light…" The young man answered.

The older man looked confused at first and Light just chuckled softly.

"That's my name…sweetheart." He said playfully.
