After a long silence, in which the only sound was the sound of falling leaves in the rain, Lawliet spoke again.
'Do you remember when I spoke about fears? I said that 'maybe I'm scared of monsters', my question is, Beyond, what kind of 'monster' are you? Are you a 'monster' that give up the hope of everyone around you? A creature lusting for blood? A liar? A 'monster' that looks for friendship even when it doesn't know how to love?'
'We all are what we are, we all have bad thoughts and egoism in us, we all lie in this World. But I have something special that surpasses all expectations from being a 'monster', I just pretend that I am a shinigami…'
'Shinigami?' spoke Lawliet petrified.
'Yeah, a 'monster' above all others,… one that… hmm, steals the souls of innocents.
'Is that what you want to become?' asked Lawliet, staring at Beyond Birthday's red eyes, those strong eyes, almost devilish.
'No… and yes!' he answered. 'This isn't a coincidence that I got here, to face you, to see your real name. These eyes I have, have you ever seen someone like this before? See? Even as I speak to you, the numbers of your life-span decrease, and when it reached zero, everything dies. What can I do when everything, everything reminds me that everything and everyone dies?'
Lawliet began to understand, at last, the meanings of Beyond's words, his backup, he felt frustrated of what everything's was happening around him. Who knows, maybe he was right, he could be a God of Death.
Lawliet pulled a candy from his pocked, unwrapped it and as he wanted to place it in his mouth, Beyond quickly made a move towards it, having them both their mouth on that candy, more like in a kiss. A forbidden kiss.
Beyond couldn't hold it, and laughed again:
'Kyahahahaha! If you could see your face! You are all red! A-hem! Sorry about that!'Lawliet indeed blushed, it was the only emotion he couldn't control, he continued to stare at Beyond, holding the candy with two fingers from the stick, rolling it in his mouth.
'Even so I've done it intentionally, I see you don't feel surprised. What is it, Lawliet?' said Beyond sarcastically. 'Did someone managed to break your chastity belt?'
Lawliet seemed to growl at that question, but Beyond could hear only the lap coming for him, chewing the candy.
'What are you suggesting?'
'Hmm… nothing!' answered B.
'You are so childish.'
'Just like you! I'm not childish, only immature, but nothing more!'
'Please don't think that you can take my place so easily. You still can't replace me, backup!' it was the first time in his live that Lawliet felt something repulsing, irritated by those words, making him being impulsive.
'Alright, alright! That's enough fight, Lawliet' said Beyond starting to walk here and there, pulling a thread of hair from Lawliet's hair.
'If you want something from me, come and let's talk down' said Lawliet as he turned around a walked away from Beyond's room.
Beyond Birthday stood there, without any expression on his face, only later he began to laugh wildly, without any reason, took out a jar from under the bed, dirtying his face and shirt with the strawberry jam, and he licked his fingers.
'Yes, Lawliet! I want something from you! I want you! I want your body and soul! I want to break you!'
