A/N: Oh my god, I actually have the motivation to write chapter four! Those of you who reviewed are amazing and it makes me so happy that you all enjoy this. I'm hardly ever this happy, so most of this probably won't make and sense, just to warn you. And yes, I realize this chapter may be mostly filler, but sometimes fillers are actually important.

On another note: Yes, everyone seems SO out of character that it's not even funny. But this is how I see them in my head. I totally understand if you guys don't like how I portrayed everyone, but oh well.

AlmostOverTheEdge: Dare I say this, since I usually write for my own accord, I dedicate this entire story to you. Yes, you read right, this whole thing will be for you. You read the first version and loved that and even stuck with me as I changed everything into something better that you enjoy even more. I sure do hope you stick with this story to the end, since I already know how to end this whole thing. You gave me huge motivation to write this chapter and to write the rest of the story. Thank you (:

~That Boy Is A Monster~

[][]START[][]

[ Beyond Birthday – Yeah, I took my phone back from her while she was sleeping, which was actually a really hard thing to do. ]

[ L Lawliet – Misa's totally gonna kill you when she wakes up, you know that, right? ]

I stole a glance at Misa, who was choke-snoring next to me on my bed. She had fallen asleep a while ago and I took it upon myself to 'sneakily' take my phone back from her to text L, the very thing she had tried to keep me from doing all night.

[ Beyond Birthday – She's still sleeping pretty hard, so it's okay. ]

[ L Lawliet – Yeah, Light's sleeping pretty hard too. He didn't really stay up that late, haha. ]

I frowned at L's text. A sleeping Light is better than an awake one, but a dead Light would be ideal.

[ Beyond Birthday – Oh, ahah, that sucks. At least we have each other though. ]

Fluttering seemed to strangle my heart after sending that text to L. I realized that after I had hit SEND that it might have seemed a little weird for a friend to say something like that to another friend. Straight friends. Boys that are friends. Holy hell, I'm dumb.

[ L Lawliet – Yeah, we do have each other.. ]

I frowned at the screen on my phone. L usually wasn't vague about how he felt, nor did he put the dot dot dot after sentences. I already kind of knew what L was going to say, but it didn't stop my chest from tightening and my heart from almost exploding.

[ Beyond Birthday – What do you mean by that? ]

[ L Lawliet – can you just call me? ]

Stomach acid seemed to be the only thing I could taste or smell. I didn't understand why my original had to actually say it instead of just texting it. My arms felt heavy and light, hot and cold, at the same time. It was as if my body already knew what L was going to tell me and was trying to warn me out of it.

"L?"

"B.."

It was quiet for a couple of minutes. I thought that maybe his phone had dropped the call, but I could hear the faint sound of him breathing on the other line. I could tell that he wanted to say something – the quiet tenseness was a huge clue – but it just seemed so strange to me that he couldn't tell me what was wrong/right with him.

"Um..so...how are you, L?"

"I need to tell you something," L whispered quickly, like his courage would run out if he didn't say it quick enough. "But you need to promise me that you'll still think of me that same, and that you'll still be my friend and that you won't judge me or make fun of me because this isn't an easy thing to tell you but I'm telling you because I love you and you're my best friend - "

My mind stopped for a moment at the 'I love you', but I somehow managed to say "Yeah, I promise."

"– cause what I'm about to tell you you're not gonna be too happy with and I already know you're probably not gonna talk to me for days but I understand, so yeah."

He was quiet again and I could tell he was biting his thumb. "L, you can tell me. I'll still be your friend, I promise."

L took a shaky breath and made a couple of clicking sounds with his tongue. "Okay, here it goes. You know how I was nervous about hanging out with you and Light today, right?"

I tried to swallow the huge lump of bile in my throat, because I already knew where this was going. "Yeah, I remember."

L was quiet for another minute. "Well, the reason I was so nervous was because…I kind of like Light..?"

The part I seemed to be focused on what that Lawli ended that statement with a question, as if he was asking for approval from me. I sat up in my bed slowly, scared that if I did it too fast I was throw up. I rubbed at my eyes, not even really aware that L was still talking.

"B, I know that you don't like him, but I started to like him before we all hung out today, and I really can't help how I feel. I don't know what he did to Misa, but since you guys won't tell me, I can't consider him a bad guy or anything. Just hear me out, maybe he's changed since being with Misa and will be amazing, assuming he even likes me or anything. Okay? Are you still there? B?"

I shook my head, coming out of my stupor. I pushed the blanket I was sharing with Misa off of me, suddenly feeling way to hot. "Yeah, I'm here L. I just..."

Anger seemed to bubble in me so fast I didn't even know how to control it. My entire body seemed to shake from its very core and for some reason all I wanted to do was laugh. It was so ironic, just so like something that would happen to me, to Misa.

"Dude, do you even realize what you're getting yourself into?" With every word, my anger just seemed to grow. "Light is a fucking psycho and he probably just wants to get into your pants. L, I don't even know WHY you like someone like him! Do you actually like being afraid for your life? I can't even believe you let him sleep at your house, let alone like him at all! What the fuck? Jesus, I can't even wrap my mi-"

The phone was suddenly snatched from my hands. I looked around frantically, already too pissed to have something like this happen to me. Misa was sitting up behind me, my phone in her hand. And man, if looks could kill, I'd be in the ninth layer of hell right now.

Misa held the phone up to her ear, listening to L. I could barely make out the sounds of him frantically crying and I immediately felt like the biggest douche alive.

"Hey, L. Yeah, this is Misa. No, B is right here. No, you can't talk to him…Yeah, I heard what he said to you and I'm pissed. No, I'm not sure if he meant it, he might be high off his mom's pills again. Yeah, you can talk to him tomorrow or something. Go get some sleep. I love you too, goodnight kiddo."

Brown eyes turned to me as Misa practically slammed my phone shut and threw it to my floor. Even though I knew I was in the wrong, I couldn't help the tears that started to prickle behind my eyes.

"Jesus shit, I can't even fucking believe you!" Misa almost screamed as she violently threw the blanket off of her and stood up, standing over me. "You damn near broke his heart! You promised him you wouldn't judge him and that's exactly what you just did, you asshole! Couldn't you have at least pretended to be happy for him so that when Light breaks his heart he has someone to go to? This was your chance to show L that you can be there for him through everything and prove that you love him. But no, you're a fucking idiot and just yelled at him like some retard or something!"

I couldn't meet Misa's angry gaze. Guilt ate at my heart like the horrible monster it is.

"…Misa," I managed to croak out through guilt choking me. "He likes Light. That's a bigger situation than me yelling at him."

Misa sighed and sat down next to me. My heart clenched and a couple of tears managed to escape my eyes. My best friend put a hang on my shoulder and squeezed.

"I know B, I know."

A/N: I know, I know, it's waaaaaaaaay dramatic, but I don't care. Again, it's so rare that I would update so quickly, so enjoy this while it lasts. At last, L finally admits that he likes Light! Now this story is actually rolling along (:

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this and I surely do hope that you will continue reading this until the end (:

With the love of a thousand suns, xxignoredxx~
