a/n:I own no rights to the Florence + The Machine song quoted below.

Louder than sirens

Louder than bells

Sweeter than heaven

And hotter than hell

As I move my feet towards your body

I can hear this beat it fills my head up

And gets louder and louder

It fills my head up and gets louder and louder

Drumming Song - Florence + The Machine - Lungs

"That feels so...yes...oh my god, right there, unhh!" Light writhed as he felt the Alpha enter him again. Pounding in balls deep with every thrust and filling him to the brim. He moaned lowly as a hand shoved his head further into the mattress, while the other gripped his hip and held him in place.

"You like that Light? Mmmm...God you feel so fucking good..." The voice growled as the pace increased further, until the sound of skin slapping on skin echoed through the room.

"Aahh...oh, shit...Ryuzaki!" Light cried out as he came hard, spilling across the sheets below him.

Light sat straight up in bed, breathing hard. Morning rays peeked through the blinds of his room, he looked at the clock and saw it was 8am. He fell back against the bed.

He ran a hand through his golden brown hair. What the fuck was that?

After getting out of bed, he stripped out of his now soiled pajamas and headed to the shower. As he washed his hair he thought back to the dream. It was rare that he felt drawn sexually to anyone. He might find someone attractive, of course, but rarely did it manifest into an interest for any intimate physical contact.

Light had never had this strong of a reaction to anyone...he certainly had never acted on any feelings that may have stirred inside him in the past. Most people would probably find it hilarious that the hottest Omega stripper in Tokyo, an object of lust for many, was a virgin.

Damn Ryuzaki, I don't have time for this kind of...stuff. He thought to himself angrily. I don't need an Alpha confusing me. I get along just fine without one.

Every 3 or 4 months since he had presented as an Omega shortly after turning 16, Light had simply suffered through his heat by going off his suppressants and locking himself up in his room. It wasn't healthy to go any longer than that without a heat and he wasn't about to take any chances regarding his wellness when Sayu was his responsibility. He tried as best as he could so that they coincided with school breaks so he didn't miss classes, but it wasn't an exact science. He knew the school was obligated by law to make exceptions for Omegas, but he didn't want special treatment if avoidable.

As Light walked back to his room he realized that he felt better than he had in awhile. Maybe it was crying last night? But he knew it was more than that. The dream? No!

I wonder if I had that dream because I'm coming up on four months without a heat cycle...I did put it off last month due to exams. He considered the possibility that his body was simply calling for the release it knew was overdue to occur. He'd never suppressed his heat longer than this before, but he was just going to have to put it off a bit longer. I don't have time with the investigation going on right now. I'll worry about it after they've caught this guy.

Might have to expect things like that dream to happen again until then. Light blushed as he realized he didn't exactly mind the idea.

He might not have been able to confirm what it was that had him feeling different today. But he had to admit, he felt electrified, excited...something new and different was happening, for once in a long time. Change was good, even if it was just small things, it was something.

I feel alive today...

He looked through his closet for something to wear, eventually settling on a pair of charcoal grey pants and a soft navy sweater. Glancing through his drawers at underwear, he decided to wear something sexy instead of practical. He had some fun items from work...and a few things he admitted he'd bought just because he liked the look of them. He pulled out one of his favorites. It would give him a secret kick and bit of personal amusement to know he was wearing these while meeting with Ryuzaki. I wonder if any of the other detectives will be there. He slipped them on with a grin and finished getting dressed.

After styling his hair, he went downstairs and quickly downed a cup of black coffee. He wrote a quick note for Sayu, just in case she didn't check her voicemail, letting her know he wasn't sure he was going to make it for dinner later and not to wait on him. He wasn't sure how much material they were going to have to cover for the case or what logistically they'd need to work out regarding security, so he figured it was better to plan on dinner Sunday instead.

As he left the kitchen, he plucked an apple out of the basket on the counter on his way to the front door. He grabbed his heavy beige jacket and house keys. He was eager to be on his way, unwilling to admit even to himself that he was looking forward to his meeting with Ryuzaki. He needed to learn more about the case, but maybe he'd also learn more about the man who seemed to be invading not just his life, but his dreams as well.

L had been up most of the night. He fell asleep in his chair for about two hours from 6-8am before Watari startled him when bringing in morning tea, causing him to fall out of his seat.

The older gentleman had simply given him a looked that said "Seriously, L? Again?" and shook his head, before proceeding to enter the room and set down the tea set as L picked himself up off the floor.

It hadn't taken long to compile a full report on Light Yagami and L had spent time more time than he'd like to admit reviewing it during the early morning hours. Watari had been able to provide it by the time he'd returned to the hotel room from Black Book.

"If he'd been several years younger, we would've identified him as someone to take in to the program at Wammy's L, that's how brilliant he is." That was the first thing Watari said to him upon handing the file and usb drive containing the information on Light Yagami to a stunned L.

"This young man...is pretty amazing." The old Beta chuckled kindly and continued. "Taking on guardianship of his sister at only 18 years old. Attending university full time on scholarship and earning top marks as the first ranked student in his class no less..." He trailed off.

"Is there something else Watari?"

"He's just...the kind of person B would love to destroy, leave his mark on." Watari looked at him very seriously. "He'll see so much of himself in this young man in terms of intelligence and potential, except unlike Beyond, he appears to have risen above the loss of his parents and has continued to persevere. Whereas Beyond, seems to choose to lose himself in the darkness at every opportunity."

Watari paused at the door to the room, as he left. "No pun intended, but he'll try to make Light just as dark as he is if he can."

L nodded. "Duly noted. I appreciate your insight as always Watari."

That was definitely an interesting conversation. L thought to himself as he exited the bathroom, refreshed from the shower he'd just taken. He strode naked to the dresser and pulled out a pair of jeans from within one of the drawers and then opened another to grab a plain long sleeve white shirt. Once he was dressed he headed back out to the main living area.

Watari was managing surveillance updates on one of the laptops when L entered the room. He looked over at him and gave him an exasperated look. Watari stood and walked over to grab a towel from a nearby counter and tossed it to him. "You're dripping."

L caught the towel and ran it quickly over his messy hair before turning to the older man again. "Happy now?" He growled lightly, tossing the towel to the side.

Watari smiled at the young Alpha. "Yes, thank you." He turned back to his work on the laptop. "By the way, I've sent you updates on surveillance reports for the I and J Omegas from our field contacts. They can make adjustments if necessary."

L looked at the clock. Light would be there anytime. He found that he felt...anxious.

"Watari, Light should be here soon. When he gets here-"

"I'll bring tea and coffee." The older man interjected quickly. "The files from your original meeting with the taskforce are already sitting with your laptop if you'd like to take the same approach with him as well. Plus the file regarding Beyond is there as well, although I know you haven't had the chance to give that to them yet, but were planning to."

The phone rang and Watari answered. "Light is on his way up, I'll go meet him. Would you like to meet in here?"

"Yes, that's fine Watari." L rubbed his eyes with both hands as the man left the room. I feel like I know almost everything I could possibly know about Light Yagami...on the surface. I have reason to believe that there is so much more that is not in that file.

He went to sit in the arm chair near the coffee table, crouching comfortably as he waited for the Omega to make an appearance.

Light stared down at the photo of the man with the dark hair and what could only be described as eyes the color of dark red wine, then slowly glanced back up at the Alpha with a dubious look on his face.

"Seriously? This is Beyond Birthday?" L nodded in response.

"Well that's just creepy as fuck." Light sat back on the couch and picked up the other file that Ryuzaki had him look over for the last two hours regarding Beyond Birthday. It says he's a master at impersonations and mimicry, but this is... Aside from the eyes, he could pass for the man's twin for god sake.

"That about sums it up. Now that you've been able to read his file, do you see why we may be even more concerned you would be a perfect target for him?" The detective inquired, toes reflexively curling against his seat.

Light nodded. He flipped through the file, stopping here and there as he noted something of interest. "If he's as obsessive as these files make him out to be, he won't be able to resist the chance to come after me...even if he has to go through other people to do it."

I'm still worried about Sayu's safety, even if they are guarding her too. Light bit nervously at his bottom lip. What if he comes after me and she's there at the time. Maybe I should keep my distance from her. Talk to her friend's parents and see if she can stay with one of them for awhile, just for a bit...I'll just keep that in mind if things take a bad turn in the case. Light set the file back down, thinking through his options to best avoid his sister ending up as collateral damage.

Ryuzaki's phone range, startling them both. The man picked it up with two fingers, holding it up to his ear in the oddest fashion Light had ever seen a cell phone handled before. He has such long fingers too...they felt really good when he gave me that massage, I bet they'd feel even better if he- Light bit his lip and snapped out of his reverie. Focus, focus, focus...dammit.

"Yes? I see, no, send me over the report and the autopsy once it has been performed." The detective hung up and looked to Light. "They found what they believe is Omega G."

"W-who do they think it was? I would probably recognize the stage name..." Light murmured eyes downcast.

"The body will need to be identified through dental records and DNA, he was apparently tortured beyond recognition based on the information I was just given." Ryuzaki said in a cool tone as he organized the files on the table.

Light eyes widened and he felt the bile rise in his throat. I think I'm going to be sick. I just need some fresh air, I wonder if there's a patio where I can step out for a minute...How can he be so cavalier about all this? He looked over at Ryuzaki who was studying him closely.

Damn, I won't let him see that this rattled me. Light fought down the nausea that threatened to overtake him at the idea of being carved up like so much meat and gave Ryuzaki an impassive stare in return instead.

"It's not nice to stare Ryuzaki."

"Light, it's reasonable to be scared, afraid of what could happen in this situation, you know that right? It would be the healthy response, the sane response...the response that is most likely to help keep you alive." The detective spoke to him earnestly.

He seems genuine. Light thought to himself in surprise, taken aback by the man's candor. Maybe he's not a complete ass after all. He thought wryly to himself.

"Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it in mind." Light rose from the couch and walked across the room to look out the window. Someone out there wants to kill me...

His eyes narrowed as he gazed down on the world below. Like hell I'm going to let that happen. Come at me asshole, we'll be ready for you.

"So, what do you have in mind for surveillance?" Light asked quietly, still staring out the window with his back turned on the Alpha.

"I think we should plan to take a two phased approach with the least amount of disruption possible to your daily routine initially." The detective immediately suggested. "If Omega H turns up dead or one of the Omegas we are conducting surveillance on is taken, we should immediately switch to round the clock monitoring and remove you from the public eye."

"Are you sure he won't just go after someone else? I'd be pretty hard to get to wouldn't I? Not that I mind being safe or anything." Light turned to look at Ryuzaki, leaning against the wall by the window and crossing his arms, shooting the man a doubtful expression.

"No, Beyond is neurotically obsessive, highly intelligent and devious. This is a man who was able to break out of a maximum security asylum." Ryuzaki paused as if considering something. "Even if we pull you into a very secure situation, there's still a chance he could get to you, I'm not going to lie about that. He'll look at it as a challenge, a game."

The Alpha looked intently at the younger man. "However, I am going to do everything in my power to ensure that doesn't happen and if anyone knows all of his tricks, it's me." His confidence was reassuring to Light.

"Ok, phase one then...what should I expect?"

"We'll plant someone as a student at your school to shadow you and monitor you there. You'll be chauffeured everywhere by two highly skilled bodyguards, that's not negotiable. B has been known to grab people while they are alone and traveling between more crowded destinations before." The detective's thumb ran across his lower lip as he went through the list of precautions.

"At your home, we are already installing surveillance, which will-"

"Wait, what?!" Light cried out. "H-how the hell did you get in my house to do that!?" He sputtered.

Ryuzaki said nothing, just gave him a look for a few seconds, as if to say 'Please...like it's that hard.' He smirked. "Moving on..."

"Hold up! Not moving on! I have a little sister; I don't want anyone invading her privacy like that, it's inappropriate you pervert!" Light yelled.

"Would you rather take the chance that B gets past the surveillance team monitoring your home and murders you and your sister when they could've been helping you?" The detective shot back.

I get his point, but dammit, it feels like such a violation... Light bit back a snarl of frustration.

"Fine." Light finally conceded. "But there better not be any in the bathroom, or so help me, I will strangle you myself!" The Omega threatened angrily. Recording my sister in the shower is where I draw the line, Ryuzaki...not happening! The detective looked on with amusement and nodded in agreement.

Dear god, he gets riled up fast... L thought to himself as he observed the frenzy the man before him had been whipped up into in protection of his sister's virtue.

You're wound so tightly it's ridiculous. When was the last time you had a good hard fuck Light? Because you seriously look like you need one. L rolled his shoulders and stretched his neck, the tension from the younger man affecting him. As L looked back at him, he caught Light staring before the Omega blushed and quickly turned again to resume his window gazing.

Then L could scent it, faintly, though Light was clearly trying to hide it... desire, lust, need...and dear god did it smell good. A low rumbling growl escaped from the Alpha's throat in response to that sweet call in the air. The other man visibly stiffened upon hearing the sound, but made no move to turn around again.

Interesting... L's eyes narrowed as he viewed the other man predatorily from across the room. He slowly rose from his seat and stalked silently towards the other figure.

When L reached Light, he put a hand on either side of the young man on the window sill, trapping him there. His knuckles were white with the restraint he was exhibiting at that moment. He leaned in and breathed Light's sweet scent, an intoxicating aroma of strawberries and something else he couldn't quite identify that made his cock twitch and harden in his jeans.

He paused, giving Light plenty of time to tell him to back off, before softly growling as he sensuously pressed his body against the Omega from behind, letting him feel the growing erection against his firm ass. L felt the younger man shudder against him, but again he made no move to stop him, instead he slowly tilted his neck in submission to the Alpha at his back.

Yes...mmm...damn, that's a beautiful sight. He thought to himself as he licked a long line up the Omega's neck, biting gently at the scent gland there to test his reaction.

"Ngh...please." Light moaned, grinding back against L with a roll of his hips. The detective gasped and grabbed Light's hips, pressing against him even harder and growling slightly. He began to kiss and nip along the young man's neck in earnest, pulling lovely sounds of pleasure from the writhing man in his arms.

"Ryu..zaki..." He cried out breathily. L didn't like the sound of that at all...

"Call me L, Light." He murmured roughly. The young man's breath caught and his body stiffened noticeably.

"No more hiding behind fake names, right?" L continued and started attacking the Omega's neck again, before grabbing his arm to spin the man around to face him. Light cried out in surprise at the sudden movement.

L gazed hungrily at the flushed face and half lidded eyes of the man before him with a sense of self satisfaction.

"What do you want Light?" L asked, brushing his lips against the young man's. "Do you want to keep going?" He nudged one of his strong thighs between Light's legs and pressed in tighter against him. He knew he wasn't playing fair, but damn it if this beautiful boy was going to walk away if L could help it.

"L...I think...I mean, I-I need..." Light's voice cracked and his golden eyes shimmered with lust as he looked into L's cool dark ones.

L leaned in and bit Light's lower lip, tugging on it before releasing it and licking it soothingly. The Omega moaned in pleasure. So responsive.

"Yes, Light...What do you need?" L whispered in his ear.

"Please..." Light moaned grinding slightly against L's thigh. "I need you...please now."

"But what do you need from me, Light?" He hid a smile as he bit at the younger man's earlobe, teasing the Omega slightly. "I need you to tell me."

Light turned his head and looked directly in L's eyes, grabbing his face in both hands, a burning fire in the young man's eyes.

"I need you to fuck me, L." He said breathily.

Shit...alright then. Don't have to tell me twice.
