Beyond sat in front of Lawliet, in the same crouched position.
'I didn't killed the bird… I couldn't bring myself to do it. See? The proof that I have a heart towards a helpless bird. But… I wouldn't hesitate to kill to prove that I can surpass you, you know that better than anyone.
Lawliet gazed into his ruby eyes, and spoke:
'It's getting on my nerves, no matter how long I work, like a computer, I am still… a human. I'm still young and I feel pity, even if I don't want to experience it.
'L…,' B began to say. 'Your work mustn't transform you into a robot. I know you can't take breaks because criminals don't have breaks as well. The fact that you are still young and very much a human can only make me having naughty thoughts…
'If I should die… you will take over as me?' asked L.
'No. I won't take your place, I will steal your personality, you know I don't have and don't want to have it, I will also steal your looks and all what "L" means to me.'
'You could kill me to take over me?'
'No! I let things run their course, and why to kill you? I do admit, your life-span- and gazed at the numbers above Lawliet's head- shows me that you have only a few years to live, but I assume that I won't be the one to end your life. You are important for me, and
I wouldn't take your place as long you're alive. I won't allow anything to happen to the original "L", and if "L" will forget me, I will do anything to catch his attention…
Beyond looked at him with a gentle gaze, his eyes weren't so wild, like before.
Beyond leaned ahead and kissed Lawliet, the first time in his life when he kissed someone. Beyond didn't know he could have the courage to deep kiss, didn't know if it was the moment to move his mouth: of course, at least he saw romantic or love movies, but it was so different to do it in reality.
As for Lawliet, a little surprised, he forgot to breathe, he pushed at Beyond's chest to break from that shy kiss.
'Beyond… what's gotten into you' asked Lawliet hiding his emotions.
'L. Lawliet… have you listened my words I spoke earlier?'
'Yes.'
'Good' he said in relief. 'Then you could understand one thing: that I love you.'
When Lawliet said nothing, Beyond placed a hand on his knee, trying to go down to his crotch.
In that moment, Lawliet realized Beyond's intention, shaking by the overwhelming of emotions he slapped Beyond's hand away.
'Hah…' he made an involuntary sound. 'Beyond?'
'What does this means to you? To go on?
'Beyond, don't you think that's a little bit too impersonal to ask such a thing?'
'Maybe… if I would try to continue, would you allow me?' asked Beyond looking down.
'You would try to dominate me? If I refuse, you will use force on me?' Lawliet said, a little scared and doubtful.
'No. If you don't want, if you don't love me, I will resign. Also, I would very much love if you accept me. At least now. If you go, I won't see you again.
Beyond spoke no more. He placed a hand on L's knee again, going down, and as he reached his crotch he squeezed a bit, making Lawliet swallow hard and tense.
'B… I will let you. But if someone finds out about this, we're both dead. Ngh!''No one comes here anyway, this shouldn't bother you.'
'Have you done this before?' asked Beyond, as he pressed his hand between Lawliet's legs and rubbed him thought the clothes.
'How could I? I lived all my life in shadows! Hiding from the World. You are the only one who ever does this to me… ah!'
B could feel Lawliet getting hard under his caressing hand.
'Have you ever done it yourself? I just imagine it, since you are always busy, do you have time for doing this yourself? I mean, it's a need…'
'Occasionally,…ah! Beyond… you should stop, I'm close to…'
'Oh!' said Beyond and he withdrew his hand, 'well then, maybe I can get you done!' he unzipped Lawliet's jeans, but he didn't pulled them off, he just stared at his heated flesh.
'What are you going to do now?' Lawliet asked.
'Wait and see… and relax, enjoy it while you can…' and dropped his head between L's legs and took him in his mouth.
The wrong move ever made.
Beyond slipped his hand in his boxers, fingers probing gently.
'Mmm.. ngh…' he moaned as he felt a finger slipping inside.
'Relax, Lawliet,' and Beyond adding a second finger, thrusting deeper inside. 'You need to relax, you're far to tense,' and reached up and kissed his sugar addicted lover.
'I try… but promise me you won't hurt me!' he said shaking
'I promise…'
