"Naomi! Come with me!" Misa clapped their hands together and dragged her to the bathroom.

Light and Beyond glanced at each other and laughed. Rest of their roommates approached their table, "Mind if a bunch of losers join you?"

The two boys glanced at each other and laughed again. "About time you idiots showed up." Beyond said behind a smirk. Glancing down he raised an eyebrow, "L… Where are your shoes?"

L rubbed his barefoot against his leg while balancing, "Shoes are awful."

Matt smirked and sat himself down, "So… How are the dates?"

Mello joined next to Matt and rested his chin on his interlocked hands, "Better question. How awkward is it to have to be here with your best friends ex?"

Light laughed and glanced back at the girls who were approaching, "We talked about that already. His loss."

Beyond smirked and shrugged. "Can't have them all."

L placed his index finger on his bottom lip and crouched in a chair next to Light, "That's incredibly cheeky." His dark charcoal eyes narrowed, "What do you two have planned?"

Rolling his eyes Beyond laughed, "Look. Misa is clearly into me and Naomi is definitely into Light. We play our cards right and happy endings all around."

Nate scowled walking up with some drinks, "Oh, that's horrid."

"I don't know about Light here, but I'm no Prince Charming. Never claimed to be." Beyond folded his arms and gave a girl a sidelong glance before shooting her a sly wink, making her blush brightly and giggle with her friends.

The silver haired boy sighed at Beyond, "Just don't procreate… The world can't even handle one of you."

Beyond arched an eyebrow with a smirk, "Nate. I carry on me at all times three items. I mean it. I leave our room, I have these three things every time." He held up his pinky finger up. "One: Switchblade." He flicked his ring finger up. "Two: Cigarettes." Raising his middle finger in a sarcastic manner, "Three: A condom."

'Good for you – Selena Gomez' started to pulse a sensual beat through the sound system and Misa grabbed Beyond's hand yanking him towards the dance floor. He shot the others a smug smirk and a casual wave. Naomi sat next to Light with a dumbfounded expression and a faint blush. She glanced over to Misa who had plastered herself against the raven haired boy, her fingers netted into his hair, pulling him closer to herself.

L watched with a tiny smile as Beyond's fingers visibly tightened around her waist as she whispered into his ear. "At least it seems they have the same bad intentions for each other."

Light folded his arms and sighed, "No one said the guy was a saint."

Nate sighed with Light, "Don't worry, Naomi. Light isn't a douchebag. Is he." The white haired boy stared pointedly at the brunette, his eyes narrowing accusingly.

Light smirked at the accusing tone. "Of course not." The brunette knew this wasn't an inquiry, it was an order. He shrugged casually, "That isn't something I plan ahead for. Unlike my counterpart there."

Naomi nodded and produced a condom from between her fingers below the table's edge. "Good to know, I'm here with a gentleman." She shifted a lustful stare into Light's honeyed gaze. Not breaking eye contact he gently slipped the condom from her grasp and tucked it up his sleeve.

He flashed a disarming smile, "Of course. I would never put my wants above another's."

Naomi let a deceivingly innocent grin spread across her face, "Let's dance."

L lifted himself from her perch like crouch in the chair and grabbed his shoes with one hand and stuffed the other in his pocket walking outside. Nate watched him stand up and leave. Releasing a long sigh he stood up and followed the boy.

He stood next to L at the pick up point for the returning buses. "Not that you'll answer me… But is everything alright?"

L nodded, placing his index finger in between his lips, "Yes. I just would rather return to our dorm than watch the mating ritual of hormone driven teenagers."

The white haired boy nodded contently, "Me too. So I'll ride along." They waited in comfortable silence as the first bus towards the boys school rolled up.


Singular typing could be sounded from the room as Matt and Mello walked into the room giggling amongst themselves. L glanced up from his laptop, "How was the rest of the dance?" Nate glanced up from his sketchbook at the two entering the room before flitting his eyes back down.

Mello smirked at the white haired boy, "How come you guys left so early?" He reached into the chest at the end of his bed, digging around inside it almost absentmindedly. Holding the solid wood lid up higher, the blonde patted further down and grabbed a chocolate bar before glancing back to L who hadn't made a single movement since they entered the room.

L's deep voice hummed slightly before answering, "I am displeased with spending any social energy towards group activities that are both trivial and a waste of my time. The dance? A waste of time. I have other matters of greater importance."

Matt raised an eyebrow as he loosened his tie, "Huh?"

The raven haired boy sighed deeply, "I am already employed in a position that requires much of my attention." His voice trailed off as Beyond walked into the room and flopped face first into his bed. "Greetings, Beyond. How was the remainder of your time?" He received a half assed thumbs up, but no other movements were made. L gave a tiny smile, "As I said before. Not only a wasteful expense of time. But, apparently, energy as well."

Light walked in shortly after tapping at his phone screen. "Hey guys." He commented without looking up from his phone.

Nate looked up and gave a small wave to Light, "Have fun?" The brunette nodded as he sat himself on his bed and started taking his shoes off.

Mello leaned over to poke Beyond. An abrupt low growl-like groan was heard. The blonde yanked his hand back and pointed to him in a questioning manner while staring at Light.

Light smirked and set his phone down, "Beyond. What did we learn?" All the boys stared at Beyond expectantly. But, still he continued to lay on his bed only mumbling incoherently into his pillow.

L rolled his eyes and continued to type at his computer. Nate glanced back down to his sketch pad before flipping the page and sketching a new drawing. His eyes occasionally flicking over to Beyond. Matt blinked a couple times in confusion before shrugging and changed into his sweatpants. Light chuckled under his breath and continued to change as well. Mello continued to stare at the seemingly lifeless body of his roommate, "What?"

Beyond lifted his face from his pillow letting his ebony locks fall into his face, "I said. The bitch is nuts." He slowly dragged his body back up into a sitting position before pulling his overcoat off. "I liked it though." The corners of his mouth tugged upwards briefly as he loosened his tie.

The blonde gasped leaving his mouth open as he gawked at the obsidian locked boy, "Holy fuck! What the hell happened to your neck?! Did you get into a fight?!" Beyond smirked and nodded gently running his fingers over the deep purple bruise on his neck. Folding his arms, Mello huffed, "Did you at least kick his ass?"

A deep chuckle was heard from the raven haired boy, "Her. It was worth it." He pulled his shirt over his head to reveal bright red marks all along the entire length of his back. Some points the skin had broken and had a forming scab on it. Nate returned his eyes towards Beyond and stared at him with wide eyes. Mello sputtered out as he received a smug smirk from vermilion eyed boy. "As I said. Worth it."

The blonde flicked his eyes at Light who shrugged, "Do you have anything that awful?!"

The brunette shook his head, "No… I can say I think think neither of us got that violent with each other." Light collapsed onto his bed facing the ceiling with a cryptic smile, "Couldn't have been that bad considering the question of my relationship status came into play after the fact."

L gave Light a sidelong glance, "And you told her?"

Glancing his golden hued eyes over to L, he smiled slightly, "That someone else had caught my attention. And that I'm not currently seeking a relationship with anyone."

Seemingly satisfied with the answer, L glanced back at his computer. "Who would have infatuated Light in such a manner, I wonder…" L's voice trailed slightly as his words drawled.

Light smirked and pulled his blankets over his head, "I doubt they've even noticed me."
