Wow...last chapter...enjoy my lovelies...

You found me

When no one else was lookin'

How did you know just where I would be?

Yeah, you broke through

All of my confusion

The ups and the downs

And you still didn't leave

I guess that you saw what nobody could see

You found me

You Found Me – Kelly Clarkson – Breakaway

Light felt warm…not hot like before and he sensed familiar arms holding him close, a comforting scent enveloping him as a croon vibrated through his body. Safe…I'm safe. As the brunette stirred slightly, he felt L's lips press gently against the nape of his neck, reassuring him once again that he was going to be ok.

The young Omega tried to shift and turn around in L's arms, but felt a tugging pain on his hand and whimpered softly, immediately garnering the other man's notice. The Alpha stilled his movement quickly.

"Shh, it's ok, stay still Light. We had to put in an IV to flush your system of the drug faster." L murmured, running his hand up and down his arm soothingly. Light nodded his head in understanding.

"Ok." His voice whispered. "Can we take it out now? I feel better…"

"Soon…just a little longer ok?" L suggested.

"Ok…L?" The younger man opened his golden hued eyes and turned his head to gaze at the other man. The raven propped himself up on an elbow to see him better, regarding Light with such care and affection that it made the Omega dizzy with happiness.

"Yes, what is it Light?" L brushed the brunette strands from the other man's face, before trailing his hand down to rest on his throat, nestled against his scent gland in a protective and possessive gesture that delighted the younger man on the most basic instinctual level.

"I love you." He murmured, thrilling at the broad smile that overtook L's features as he said those words to him. Light felt a matching expression spread across his face.

"I love you too Light…so much." L leaned in to gently kiss him, softly pressing on the younger man's scent gland as their lips languidly sought each other, enjoying that they were both safe and in one another's arms.

One Week Later

"We don't have to do this now Light. We can always come back to take care of this down the road…" The younger man scowled at L as they stood in front of Light's house in the mid-morning sun a week after the events of that fateful evening had occurred.

"No…I at least need to do this much right now, or else I may never do it." Light's eyes narrowed in resolve as he walked up to the door and unlocked it, stepping inside carrying the empty box he'd brought along, with L following close behind.

Light strolled into the living room first and was surprised that there was no sign of the bloody wound he'd inflicted on Beyond. What the? He looked back at L, questioningly.

"Oh…I had a cleaning team come through the house after the crime scene had been cataloged." L gave him a nervous glance as he shared this information. "I hope that was alright. I didn't suppose you'd like to find it like it was."

Light calmed his worries with a squeeze of his hand. "No, it's ok, I was just taken by surprise…" His voice trailed off as he caught sight of his Father's desk and walked over to it with a wistful smile. The brunette picked up the glasses that sat there.

His fingers wiped off the dust that had gathered, tracing the outline of them. He would always associate these with his father, who saw a great deal of both good and evil in his role as Chief Yagami of the NPA.

Light had admired his Father greatly, aspired to follow in his footsteps. His Dad had always believed in him, never once treating him as weaker for being an Omega. He'd fully supported Light's desire to be a detective one day and had always been so proud of Light's accomplishments.

Are you still proud of me, Dad? Light wondered, thinking of all of the things that had happened over the last year, things that he wished he could talk to his parents about, share with them.

"I miss them so much." He choked out as his eyes glossed over with tears of long denied grief.

L's arms were immediately there to hold him, encircling him from behind. "It's ok to miss them Light. You don't ever have to hide that." The younger man nodded rapidly, taking a ragged breath.

"I know."

L watched as Light slipped the glasses into the box and continued to the kitchen opening a cupboard. The younger man's eyes lit up as he located what he was searching for. Light's expression seemed happier now, which L was grateful for, as he carefully placed a beautiful set of teacups and a glass teapot on the counter.

It's like he's seeing an old friend for the first time in forever. L thought fondly, smiling as he watched Light. The younger man's eyes suddenly widened and he turned to the cupboard once more to pull out a non-descript container as well and set it next to the tea set.

The brunette glanced up at the Alpha as he ran his fingertip along the rim of one of the cups. "I may prefer coffee, but…" Light cleared his throat and looked back down at the tea cups before continuing, picking one up and turning it over and over in his hand as he spoke. "…tea was something special that my mom and I shared together. We'd sit down here in the evening for a little while, once a week or so, and she'd pull out this tea set…" The Omega's voice wavered and he paused to take a deep breath.

L's heart ached to comfort Light, but he knew how hard it was for the younger man to open up like this, so he stayed silent. The brunette needed to know that he could share this with him and L would be there to listen.

"She loved this flowering jasmine tea in particular and discovered it when she made friends with a girl who had moved from China when she was younger. My Mom always served very classic Japanese style tea whenever we had guests, but when it was just the two of us…" Light set the tea cup down on the counter and wiped his eyes before looking up at L again. "…like I said, it was something special that we shared." The Omega sniffled slightly as he quickly placed the entire set into the box before tucking it under his arm to turn and walk from the room.

L followed closely behind as Light made his way upstairs and turned towards his parent's bedroom. The detective could feel the tension radiating off the younger man and reached forward to grasp his free hand, squeezing it reassuringly as Light glanced back at him with a grateful look on his face before releasing it to open the door.

The Alpha had only seen the room through the surveillance lens prior to this moment, but as he had anticipated, it felt like Light's parents might walk in the door at any minute. There was no indication of things being stored away or that they had died. It was like a snapshot, a frozen moment in time.

This was what Soichiro and Sachiko Yagami's life together looked like. L thought with interest as they strode further into the room.

Light set down the box as they went around the other side of the bed and reached underneath to pull out a small safe, which he quickly unlocked and opened with trembling hands. The young man gathered the important documents there, pushing aside the box of bullets from the gun he'd used the other night to grab their family's Koseki and a few other legal documents that his parents had left behind.

Inside there was another box, besides the bullets, that peaked L's curiosity. Light's hand hesitated before finally grabbing it and then closing the safe once more, shoving it under the bed and handing the items to L to put in the bigger box on the floor next to him with the glasses and tea set. Light surveyed the room as they stood and his eyes took on a hazy quality, as if he were seeing things that L wasn't, memories of days long past…

The brunette's breath hitched and L didn't hesitate to pull him into his arms as silent sobs racked Light's body. The Omega grasped at him tightly, burying his face in the other man's shoulder.

"It's not fair…" Light whispered brokenly as L ran a hand soothingly up and down his back. "Not fair…"

"No…it's not." L murmured in agreement, continuing to hold Light close for a long while until the tremors subsided and he lifted his head from the detective's shoulder.

"I got your shirt all messy." Light said softly, gazing at where he'd been crying. The younger man reached up to wipe at his teary eyes with the back of his hand and gave L a small apologetic smile. "Sorry about that."

Ever the polite, perfect son… L sighed and ran his fingers through Light's hair, the brunette leaned into his touch. "I don't care about my shirt Light. You can ruin as many of them as you want if it makes you feel better in the process."

Light's eyes filled with a mischievous gleam at his remark. "Mmmm…I might have to take you up on that. The idea of literally ripping it off of you is quite appealing."

L's mouth went dry. He opened it to reply, then closed it, unprepared for the sudden mood change. Light didn't give him time to think about it much as he disentangled himself and picked up the box from the floor. He headed towards the door, giving L a backwards glance as he tugged on his hand. "I'm glad you're here with me." The Alpha's heart swelled at the thought that he was helping in even the smallest way as he followed after him.

As they closed his parent's bedroom door and walked down the hall towards Light's room, L could tell instantly that the mood had lifted. "At least the hardest part is over." Light murmured quietly as they reached his room and he immediately grabbed a bag from his closet to start packing up the things he wanted to take for now.

The rest can be sorted out later. L thought to himself as he sat down on the edge of the bed to wait, glad to see that the cleaning crew had come through this room as well, leaving no trace of Beyond's first attack on Light.

The brunette let out a snort of laughter as he went through his dresser drawers. "L…should I bring some props from 'work' along with me?" He turned around, dangling a pair of handcuffs from his fingers. "Have you been bad detective?" Light purred in a sultry voice, eyes full of dark intent as he strolled across the room towards him, twirling the cuffs around one finger.

Oh hell yes I have… Was L's immediate thought as Light climbed in his lap with an absolutely naughty grin on his face that spoke of filthy thoughts. At this point L was so hard up for it, he would pretty much agree to whatever the sexy Omega wanted to do.

They hadn't had sex since before the incident with Beyond. He'd waited patiently, wanting Light to be the one to initiate anything after the trauma he'd been through and now it seemed like the other man was more than ready.

It was like something desperate was set off in both of them in that moment, as Light rolled his hips, grinding hard against the Alpha, whose hands quickly moved to grip the younger man's ass and repeat the motion. Light's head fell back wantonly, cuffs dropping to the bed as he let out an erotic moan.

"Fuck…need you inside me now…" Light muttered as he stood and slipped out of his pants in record time as L stared, dumbstruck by the delicious sight before him of the eager Omega who was now tossing his boxers aside as well and was naked from the waist down.

Wow… L's brain short circuited for a moment as he licked his lips

Light gave him a look of mild annoyance, but seemed more amused than anything as he grabbed at L's waistband, snapping the other man out of his stupor. The Alpha only got as far as pulling them down to his knees, rock hard erection springing free, and Light was on him again, unwilling to wait any longer.

"Oh shit Light…" L bit his lip as the brunette guided the head of the Alpha's already dripping cock to his slick pucker and slid it inside, taking the tip in his twitching hole with a sharp gasp. "Hngh… so tight. Are you ok? I could stretch you…we don't have to go so fast-"

"I'm ok…mmm…ah-hnh." Light interrupted him and lowered a couple more inches with a long low moan, impaling himself further on L's rigid length. He leaned in close to bite and kiss at L's lips, panting slightly as he continued to try and take all of the Alpha as he was stretched wide around his girth.

"Doing so well." L ran his hands gently up and down the younger man's torso. "Relax and open up for me Light…mmm, there you go." He murmured encouragingly as Light was able to slide down to sheath the Alpha fully inside him.

L's hands moved to hold the brunette's hips and he watched Light's face closely as he gave a small experimental thrust, jutting up into the hot, little hole gripping his dick. The Omega in his arms cried out with pleasure, so he did it again, holding him in place as he drove in to the increasingly slick channel with smooth, practiced movements that had his balls wetly slapping the younger man's ass.

"Yes, god…just like that." Light groaned, fingernails digging in to L's shoulders as he was pounded hard, filled up to the brim again and again. The Omega reached down to stroke his own straining need, breathing frantic as he met L's gaze with half lidded gold hued eyes that were filled with desire and love for the man before him.

L was struck by how lucky he was, once again, just to have this man in his arms, to have found his mate. He took Light's left hand in his, lacing their fingers together and feeling the cool metal encircling the younger man's ring finger.

Mine.

He may have waited patiently for sex, but he hadn't waited more than a day after the Omega's return before he'd proposed to Light Yagami. L watched the play of emotions across his mate-to-be's face, eyes going soft and dreamy as his orgasm washed through him. The sight was enough to drive L past the breaking point as well.

They grasped and clutched at one another as they rode it out, Light's head finally falling forward against L's shoulder as he let out a final soft moan. The Alpha brought their clasped hands to his lips as his breathing returned to normal. He kissed the brunette's ring finger gently as Light nuzzled his neck.

"I love you Light."

"I love you too L."

One month later

"Are you sure you-"

"If you ask me that again I swear I will cancel the wedding." Light gave L a venomous glare that had the detective facing forward once more and shutting his mouth.

"And you're sure he's going to be secured right?" Light side eyed the detective once more before turning his gaze back on the building in front of him.

"Yes, this is a private facility designed by Watari and myself." L explained. "It takes into account the prisoner's unique talent for escape and eliminates all opportunities for such an event to occur until the trial has taken place and we can proceed with an execution. We've had several such criminals interned here over the years, because even a Supermax prison or high-security psychiatric asylum, such as Beyond was in, just wasn't enough." Light shuddered at the terrifying thought of what other kinds of monsters had lurked here in the past.

Light fidgeted with his watch before pushing away from the car he was leaning against and walking toward the door, with L following close behind. Give me strength Dad. I need to see that he's locked up with my own two eyes. I have to do this.

The Omega ran a fingertip around the circular face of the gift from the safe that his father had never had the chance to give him. He'd seen the box the first time he'd ever entered his parent's bedroom after their death. Sorting through the safe, he'd found the watch with the Kanji for his name engraved on the back of the case. He'd nearly had a breakdown and had steered clear of the room ever since. Light reached wordlessly for L's hand as they reached the door and felt a calm wash over him as their skin touched. He can't hurt me or the people I love anymore.

Down, deep underground, only one route out. Secure doors that would shut at multiple checkpoints to trap a prisoner upon an alarm being sounded, gas mechanisms to incapacitate, floors that could be triggered with electricity to have a taser like effect in certain areas of the building. Getting out without the proper access was like trying to get through a booby trapped maze.

As they went through the facility, L pointed out all of these features to Light and he began to feel better. At first L had been against the visit, but after the tenth time Light had woken up screaming about red eyes, fearful that B was going to escape and kill them all, he'd relented and agreed to show him in the hopes of reassuring the brunette that they were safe.

"We had him secured and brought to an interrogation room. We'll be on the other side of 4 inch thick bulletproof one way viewing glass and he's already completely incapacitated anyways…" L sighed heavily. "I just want you to feel at ease, knowing that he is not going anywhere…until the day that they execute him for his crimes." Light nodded, as they entered the viewing area.

The Omega took a breath that got stuck in his throat as he caught sight of the man on the other side of the glass.

If you could call such a monster a man.

Light had expected to feel fear, anxiety. He had thought he might run from the building upon laying eyes on the man that had terrorized him and threatened people he loved. But no, the Omega felt only overwhelming anger looking at Beyond, who sat in a secured chair. The Alpha's arms, legs, torso were all strapped down in multiple places. He had a gag in his mouth and his head was held back against the seat with another strap.

No…you aren't going anywhere, are you Beyond? Light thought darkly. But you're still breathing and that isn't fucking right. The young man's fists clenched and unclenched as he stared through the glass.

He vaguely heard L speaking to him as the buzzing in his ears grew louder from the rage he felt building. When B made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a laugh through his gag and winked towards the glass, that was the last straw for the Omega.

"He's secure?" Light asked calmly, surprising himself with how even and steady his voice sounded, even as his blood boiled.

"Yes, I could literally walk right up and-"

Light didn't wait for him to finish as he strode straight for the connecting door to the room and walked right in, not hesitating in his advance as he threw a right hook that made the Alpha groan around the gag before glaring at Light and growling.

"That's for Alexi." The Omega snarled and threw another punch with his left fist. "And that one's for Bethany." Another punch. "And for Calliope." And it continued like this…

"For Dante."

"For Erik."

"And Flora."

"And Gelus."

"For Hikaru."

"For Isis."

"And for Kira." Light's breathing was ragged, more from emotion than exertion as he threw the final punch and stepped back, looking upon B's bloody face. He deserves so much worse for what he did to those Omegas.

Light startled as he felt a hand upon his arm and realized it was only L. I'm sorry. Light mouthed to the other man, realizing he'd lost control. The Alpha shrugged and effectively dismissed his apology as unnecessary, clearly more worried about Light's state of mind than B's health as he searched the younger man's face worriedly. L took hold of one of Light's shaky hands and quickly examined the swollen knuckles and blood from the damage he'd inflicted upon Beyond.

"Let's go." Light said as he gave L a small smile, feeling like a weight had been lifted. "I don't want to see him again until the day they execute him." The brunette said firmly as they walked to the door, ready to leave the past behind, ready to start his life with L.

Beyond chuckled behind the gag as he watched them go. Do they really think it will be that simple. They'd just presented him with the best game ever and he would rise to the challenge.

He couldn't help but notice the ring on Light's finger as the young man's fist had connected with his face again and again. It amused him that they really thought there'd be a happily ever after for them.

Hmm…I don't think we'll hear wedding bells for you two.

Maybe funeral bells instead…

Yes…the bells will be very loud that day… Beyond grinned around the gag in his mouth, delirious laughter muffled as they carted him back to his cell.

To bide his time.

To wait.

To plan.

To plot his revenge.

Well, that's it my beautiful readers.

I obviously left some things open... *grins slyly*. Who knows what the future may hold? ;)

As always, I adore your feedback...your love is my drug :) so give me my fix!

I'm on Tumblr!
