a/n: Get it? "Lucky" chapter number 13? :) Yes, I do think I'm far funnier than I really am...

Beyond let out a groan of dissent as they finally pulled up to the curb and stopped, wrapping his arms more tightly around the younger man's waist as he tried to move towards the door.

"Nope…uh-uh…they can wait…" He nuzzled the brunet's neck as Light let out a huff of amused laughter. L chuckled at the other Alpha's pouting expression, eyes filled with good humor.

"B, we've already gone around the block three times…oh, crap!" The Omega exclaimed as he glanced out the window to see a very impatient and determined looking Sachiko Yagami approaching the idling limo, with Sayu in tow. Light squeaked nervously and scrambled guiltily off of L's lap, checking his robes carefully and looking at the other men.

"I look ok, right?" He asked anxiously as he tried to smooth out his now completely ruffled hair. Beyond didn't have words for how fucking hot his mate looked. His innocent white kimono was slightly askew in the most tempting way, his skin flushed and blushing brightly as he stared at them with those wide amber eyes of his. Light was the definition of perfection like this in the dark haired male's opinion.

The Alpha simply nodded and smiled reassuringly at his sexy new husband. His mother will just have to understand. How could we help ourselves with him looking like-

"Light!" His mother called out to him as the door was opened by the driver. "We're running behind. Come on, we barely have time to get you changed, hurry…" She scolded.

The Omega climbed out and Sachiko blinked long and hard at her disheveled son's appearance before raising a questioning eyebrow at the Alphas as they exited the vehicle as well. Beyond gave her a wan smile and shrugged while L at least had the decency to appear contrite. All the while, Sayu's hands covered her mouth as she laughed gleefully at the entire situation.

"We'll meet you at the reception room entrance after he's changed." The Yagami matriarch murmured as she finally grabbed her son's hand with a scowl and began to drag him off to change. Light gave them both one last pleading glance before surrendering to his fate and following his mother into the building.

Beyond turned to L and grinned, wrapping his arms around the other man and seeking out his lips like they were water in the desert as he fervently kissed him. His hands made their way up the Alpha's body until he was able to run his fingers through the man's raven locks, grasping them tightly.

L let out a needy groan that made all of Beyond's blood rush south in a Pavlovian-like reaction to his long time mate's desire. He surrendered to the urge to catch the detective's lower lip with his teeth and gave a gentle tug on it before reluctantly pulling away to eye him breathlessly.

"I love you…"

"I love you too."

L's charcoal-hued eyes were luminous, shining brightly with joy for the joining of the three of them today. It touched on something deep inside the other Alpha, and as Beyond cupped the man's face in his hands, he couldn't help but wonder…

How did I get so lucky?

L laced his fingers with Beyond's and squeezed his hand as they made their way inside. They knew they had at least a little time before Light was ready, given that he was changing into a whole new kimono. He gazed over at the other man affectionately, so much love welling up in his heart, he thought it might burst…

The raven's thoughts strayed back to his newest mate as they made their way into the well-appointed sitting room designed for Alpha mates during a reception to change or take a break. Light was in a similar room not too far from them.

Not much to L's surprise, Beyond immediately popped the cork on the chilled champagne that was waiting in a bucket of ice for them and poured them each a glass.

"Thank you," L murmured, leaning in to kiss B as he took the flute from his hand and settled down on one of the couches

"You're very welcome." He replied as he laid down with his head in L's lap and let the other man run his fingers through his hair, setting the champagne on the floor and smiling lazily as his eyes slid shut.

"I think you're purring…" L teased as his capable hands worked their magic. Beyond gave the barest of nods.

"Hmm…maybe…" Beyond sighed happily. The detective loved the relaxed expression on his mate's face and couldn't help leaning down to kiss his soft lips once more, even as he tried to push other nagging concerns to the back of his mind...

Burgundy-hued irises gazed up at him, a knowing smile tugging at the corners of Beyond's mouth as L finally pulled away.

"It's going to be ok, L. He's a police officer's son for godsake. He'll understand the whole undercover thing." Beyond assured him. The raven smiled ruefully and nodded. He should've known B would see right through him…know what was bothering him…

L took a deep breath and said a silent prayer in thanks for finding not one, but two mates that were so amazing…

How did I get so lucky?

Light's mother slid the red zori on his feet and quickly helped him up, leading him to the door with much haste. She glanced quickly at the clock on the wall with concern.

"Not running too late…" Sachiko murmured gratefully, stopping abruptly to turn and face her son. The Beta's eyes looked him over from head to toe and Light felt anxiety spark in his gut. He immediately started checking everything as well.

Is something out of place? What…where…uh… His mother laughed at his frantic search for flaws and drew his attention back to the moment.

"You look wonderful son. Don't worry…I was just taking the time to really appreciate it. These moments are so fleeting..." Sachiko smiled and looked around him at his sister.

"Red really is your color, Light. Don't you think so Sayu?" The younger Beta nodded enthusiastically.

"You bet! Rawr!" Sayu teased. "Those boys aren't going to know what hit th-"

"Sayu! That is completely inappropriate!" Sachiko reprimanded her daughter in a shocked tone. "He looks classic and elegant." She assured them both. "And everyone knows red is a lucky color…" Light rolled his eyes at her.

"Yes, Mom…" He murmured in agreement as he turned to the door and exited without another word, ignoring his mother's call to wait for her. But Light was too eager to see his mates once more…there was no way he was waiting another second.

The Omega moved silently up the hall, the only sound was the soft drag of the hem of his elaborately patterned red, gold and white Irouchikake kimono on the floor. The many voices of their guests from the nearby reception hall filtered into his awareness the closer he drew to his mates, whose backs were turned to him as they spoke with one another.

He slipped an arm through each of theirs, finding a cozy spot between the two of them as they turned to grin at him in surprise. Their eyes swiftly widened as they took in the change in his appearance. Beyond let out a low whistle that had him blushing as the dark haired male maintained a grip on Light's hand while backing up a step to take in his outfit from head to toe. The Alpha's gaze was full of heat as he drew close once more to nuzzle his cheek.

"Damn sweetheart…always knew you'd look good in red, but wow…" He murmured. Ryuzaki gave his other hand a squeeze before bringing it up to his lips to place a kiss on the back of it as he gazed into Light's eyes with adoration.

The young Omega's heart soared as they each took one of his arms again and led him to the reception, their warm presence on either side of him like a steadying anchor in all of the chaos of the day. Light smiled as he glanced at each of them upon preparing to enter the room and he couldn't help but think…

How did I get so lucky?

This felt like the right place to break before the next chapter :) Hoping to post the reception this weekend! Thanks for being patient!
