Perfect instability

Chapter 2

A/N: Sorry for the spelling mistakes in the last chapter I was writing at 3 am after staying up since the day before...I have weird sleeping habits... Misa doesn't have Shinigami eyes yet, since she's in high school.

ONWARDS!

The science teacher had shooed Beyond out of her classroom and he walked to where he remembered his locker was. He opened it and was somewhat surprised to see a neat little envelope that had delicate handwriting but it didn't look like someones natural handwriting, it looked shaky. He took it before it could fall to the ground and gingerly opened it away from his person in case it held anthrax or some kind of air based poison. To his relief all that fell out was a small letter that had no hand writing but glued on letters from the newspaper.

LeAvE L aLoNe, BeFoRe I kILL yOu!

Beyond just reread the note and wondered who it could have been. He knew it had something to do with that Light bloke, he seemed too smart to put it there himself. He shrugged and stuffed the letter into his bag to analyze it later. It wasn't like he couldn't take Light, what kind of protection did he have? His friends? His popularity? B could easily kill him if he wanted to.

With that in mind he trudged to his next class and tried to focus on the tasks at hand. To his annoyance it was harder than he would have liked, L came to his mind. Finally he just growled and slammed his head down, completely ignoring his social studies assignment.

The teacher seemed to sense his unease and let him be for the class, when the bell rang he motioned for the raven to follow him to his desk.

"Beyond I know you just got here but from here on out you have to pay attention, okay?" Beyond nodded and voiced a meek apology. He smiled and dismissed him, muttering about spacing out students humorously.

"Sorry again..." B trailed off and left the classroom to go back to his locker. He wondered if anymore threatening letters would be there. Once there he opened it and noticed that none were there, he shrugged and grabbed his books for reading and language arts. He was giddy that after reading would be lunch and he could see L again.

"You look better smiling." Someone said, B looked down and saw two boys staring at him. One had red hair and the other was a blond, B was about to ask for their names but they ran off before he could ask. He simply looked after them and continued on to reading.

"What was that about?" He asked himself and entered the classroom. The teacher introduced him to the class and he sat beside a blonde girl with pigtails, she sneered at him but soon placed a bright, winning smile on her pink dainty lips.

"This is Misa, but most people call her Misa Misa!" She said cheerfully, Beyond immediately began to think of a System of a Down song. Chop Suey wasn't it? Except I don't cry when angels deserve to die. She's quite annoying, talking about herself in third person is NOT cute...Beyond thought and opened his books.

"I'm B." He said simply and went to work, he glanced curiously at the girl's paper to see how far she was but the blood drained from his face.

It was the same writing that was on the note! Beyond blanched a little more, this girl seemed crazy. Who would refer to themselves in third person unless they had some kind of mental illness? Though, what did she have anything to do with L? Was he going out with her? He immediately deflated at the thought, So L was straight? Then what about Light? Was he her brother or something? Bestfriend? Did he sense Beyond's romantic feelings towards L?

"Aw! You're British accent is so cute to Misa Misa! You remind Misa Misa of Ryuzaki!" Ryuzaki? Who the hell is that? B thought, he looked more like L than anything else...

"Who is Ryuzaki?" B asked, curiosity taking the better of him.

"Uh, he looks just like you and he's very very super smart! He wears white shirts and blue jeans, not to mention hideous white tennis shoes!" Bingo. She had just described L word for word, but was L an alias or was Ryuzaki? B deflated even more in sadness that had just consumed him like a huge wave, did L or Ryuzaki give him a fake name? Then what about the note? B was so confused, was L his first name or what? So many questions whirled around his head, she obviously knew his name was L so why was she using Ryuzaki?

"You mean L, right?" Beyond confronted, his hated being in the dark about things. She looked genuinely confused, he could tell by the biting of her lower lip.

"Whose L? I don't know who you are talking about. Though Misa Misa has heard Light-kun call Ryuzaki that when he thinks no one is listening." She rambled, B wondered if she was ADD or something but he caught that Light calls Ryuzaki (whoever) by the name of L. He sat and stewed in his confusion until the bell rang again and he packed up for lunch.

Walking to the cafeteria he wondered if L or Ryuzaki would show up, maybe he didn't like him. B slapped himself. He had just met L! Maybe L had trouble trusting people so he gave them his alias instead of his real name, that would explain why Misa knew it. B mentally groaned when he remembered the idiotic blond. How did she get in the school anyways? He shook his head and spied for the head of black hair that was similar to his own. He saw the boy standing against the wall and made his way over, placing an easy going smile on his lips for the boy.

L looked up and a brief smile marred his lips until it faltered, B's didn't though and he stood beside him.

"So do you wanna eat outside or inside? I have my lunch already but I'll wait in line with you." B stated and kept the smile on his lips after he caught L glancing over his shoulder. B feigned looking down and brushing dust of his jeans, he tilted his head a fraction and saw Light and that Misa girl together. Light had his arms around her waist and she was placing opened mouth kisses on his neck, B scowled. He was still confused but didn't voice it, a slender hand grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the doors and outside.

"What was all that about?" B questioned as L lead them to a tree. They both sat and took out their lunches.

"I just didn't want to see her kiss him like that." He sighed and looked down, black hair curtaining his black eyes. B nodded in sympathy for the boy, he knew all about cheating girlfriends.

"I understand, cheating girlfriends are sluts you know? C'mon let's eat." B said quietly and L nodded.

"So is your name L or Ryuzaki?" B asked, opening his jam jar.

"Ryuzaki is one of my many aliases, L is my true name." He answered and took out a plastic fork and a tupperware container which he opened.

"Oh, what was that Light guys problem anyway? He looks like he hates me." B reached a hand into his jam and scoped it into his mouth. L wrinkled his nose in disgust and began to eat his cake.

"He's just overprotective, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Do you have to eat like that?" By L's voice B could tell he wanted him to drop it. B scowled and shook his head.

"I always eat my jam like this, it makes it fun. Plus the stickiness is a...fun texture." He said and licked his finger. L stared but snapped out of it.

"Fun texture?" He smirked, placing some cheesecake delicately into his mouth. Beyond stared this time and didn't notice the soccer ball barreling towards his back.

The soccer ball hit his back hard enough to send him sprawling forward and into L, who was sitting in front of him. Beyond threw out his arms to catch himself and closed his eyes, awaiting the collision with the ground but only his elbows and forearms impacted the grass. He opened his eyes and was shocked to see charcoal pools stare back at him, his head was bowed down so his hair covered his forehead and tickled L's. He began to blush as L blinked owlishly at him, he was thinking of lowering his head and kissing the boy flat beneath him and noticed that he was also straddling his waist. Suddenly rough hands pushed B off of L and kicked him in the stomach.

"Why don't you fags go hang yourselves! No one wants to see this!" Light's voice growled out as he grabbed B's shirt and hoisted him up.

"Shut your fuck up, you homophobic prick! In England fags are fucking sticks, ignorant bastard!" B growled and dug his nails into the hand that had him. Light let go with a hiss of pain, B bolted towards L and helped him up.

"Go, I'll take care of this prick." B winked but was wrenched away by Light. B aimed a punch at his well defined jaw and faintly noticed that he reminded him of Alfred. Light grabbed his hand and twisted it, B bit his lip in pain but used it to his advantage. He twisted in the direction his closed fist was turned and kicked Light in the stomach. L glanced back at him to see B kick Light in his face and smiled faintly before he ran off to orchestra. B saw him go but quickly regretted it when Light grabbed his head and shoved his face into the dirt.

L was in his last period, he kept thinking about the fight at lunch and what sparked it. Why would B defend him of all people? Beyond, that name brought a smile to his lips. It seemed that he only wanted to get to know him, he didn't have some secret agenda like Light. He didn't keep him from his friends or didn't text him 24/7 asking about his whereabouts. Worst, Light had called him a faggot, one thing L couldn't stand where hypocrites. Sighing, L waited for the bell to ring still thinking about Beyond and Light. He blushed when he remembered B falling on top of him, at first he was annoyed because of the waste of his cheesecake but when he saw the look in his eyes he couldn't bring himself to be annoyed.

The bell finally rang and L packed his things and left. To his horror Light was standing outside the door with several bruises on his face, L wondered if B was any better.

"We have to talk." Light growled and grabbed L none to gently by the elbow. L grudgingly let himself be pulled, only becoming nervous when he was shoved out the double doors and onto the brick wall behind the school. Light grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall. L gritted his teeth in pain and kneed him the stomach.

"What's wrong with you?" L demanded and kicked his shoulder, sending Light onto the ground. L was about to leave when Light snatched his ankle and pulled, also sending the raven onto the dirty ground. Light climbed on top of him and began to beat his face until L used all of his remaining strength and shoved the brunette off of his body. He gathered himself and ran, leaving his stuff behind. He didn't stop running until he reached his limo and jumped hurriedly inside. He would explain everything to Whammy later.

When he made sure no one could hear him, L began to sob. Why couldn't Light stop torturing him so much? Every minute of his life was monitored by him. He got to do whatever he pleased, even date Misa, so why couldn't even breathe without him getting suspicious? He mopped up his tears and sat in his seat, staring outside and wondering about Beyond.

B made it home and was happy to see his brother sitting on the couch reading a novel, Alfred looked up and gave him a heart-felt smile. Beyond was happy to have such adoration and love from his brother, though sometimes it proved to be too much for him to comprehend.

"How was school? Make any friends? Why do you have bruises B? Who did this?" Alfred questioned, his voice getting louder and louder.

"Okay, yeah, I got into a fight, and a homophobic. Can I go clean up please?" B answered and made his way into the bathroom.

"I'll kill them." A muttered beneath his breathe and began dinner.

A/N: Okay? I got everything planned out! Up to the ending so I'm happy about it! Please review and I'm not half dead this time!
