Six leaned in Beyond's doorway, "Hey."
Beyond glanced up from his haunched position, hugging his knees while sitting on his bed, watching out the window. "Hey." She sighed and walked into his room and sat next to him, he raised his eyebrows, "You're either very brave or really stupid."
Six sighed and pulled her knees to her chest and rested her chin on them, "Or tired of being lonely." She took a deep breath, "Even if you chose to end me, I still stand to gain. I just hoped you of all people here would understand that loneliness."
Beyond sighed and put his arm around her shoulder and hugged her softly while sighing, "I do."
L sighed and flipped through the camera feeds before landing on Beyond's room. He glanced down at Rose and Light who were feebly trying to continue working. He plugged headphones in and turned the speakers on, "I just feel lonely, in a room full of people."
L narrowed his eyebrows watching Beyond, he sighed, "I know that feeling. Very well. I originally left with intentions to become the best detective somewhere else and challenge him that way… It didn't go my way." He let out a nervous laugh, "I was a nobody, and only L and Watari saw my deductive skills for what they were."
Six sighed, "Wait here. We're all stumped anyway, time to give our brains a break." Six hopped off his bed. Beyond smirked and flopped back on his bed laying his arms behind his head.
Six ran past the main room and into the kitchen and started rummaging through the cupboards.
Rose blushed brightly at the other two, "What was that?"
L smirked behind his thumb, "Six."
Another flash of Six ran back past the room again and she ran up the stairs skipping steps. She leaned in the doorway and knocked on it with the bottom of a thin bottom of wine. "No cameras in my room."
Beyond raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
She laughed, "I just don't like being watched while I do anything. And, that is why L and I would have NEVER worked."
Beyond chuckled and lifted himself from the bed, "Alright." Six smirked and bounced herself off the doorframe and took a couple steps away, Beyond sighed, and stepped through the door, the bracelet on his left wrist made a high pitched tone, arming itself. "That's the worst sound in the world."
Six smirked and grabbed his hand pulling him down the hall to her room.
Rose glanced at her bracelet as it made an identical high pitched sound, "Where's he going?" Rose stood up and stretched, "I'm going to bed."
Matsuda looked up from his computer, "Um. Well. Since he brought it up… Would you go out with me sometime?"
Both L and Light watched her expectantly, "Uh. I'm not sure a relationship suggested by a serial killer would be the best…"
Light scoffed, "Don't be mean, it couldn't hurt to just go on one date. Either it works or it doesn't, it's not like your marrying the guy."
Rose glanced back at Matsuda, "I suppose you're right… Alright, how about tonight, I think I could use the fresh air."
Matsuda looked up with a huge smile, "Really?!"
Rose nodded, "Yeah. Watari and I talked, apparently if Beyond isn't in the one hundred foot radius and my heart stops it won't drop him."
Matsuda sighed, "I won't let anything happen to you."
Beyond narrowed his eyes, rubbing his chin and crinkling his brow, Six sat back with a satisfied grin. "Deal with that!" She lifted the bottle and took a long drink, she smiled at Beyond and held the bottle out and shook it slightly.
His eyes left the chess board and smirked while taking the bottle from her. A quiet knock was heard at the door and the door fell open, "I'm not being nosy. I'm just letting you know I'm going out, and I wanted to know if you wanted me to pick anything up?" The door opened all the way and both Beyond and Six stared at Rose. "What are you doing?"
Six smiled, "Chess and alcohol. What could possibly go wrong?" She let out a slightly tipsy giggle.
Rose sighed and rolled her eyes, "Whatever, you two are going to do whatever anyway, but seriously, did you want anything?"
They both shook their heads silently, "Watari is good about getting anything we want. Stop stalling Beyond! Move!"
Beyond snickered that resembled more of a snort than a laugh covering his nose, "I was in the middle of a drink!" He smirked at her and moved his piece, "Check."
Six glared at the board, "You suck!"
Rose smiled softly and shut the door behind her. "Dorks."
Matsuda and Rose walked out towards the exit, "You two want anything?"
Both L and Light shook their heads. As the other couple walked out Light sighed, "We're not getting anywhere." L nodded silently. Light stood up and stretched, "Well? I guess I'll go home then." Light sighed and grabbed his coat.
"Is what he said true?" L deadpanned.
Light looked down, "You tell me. You're the great detective here."
"You are too. If you aren't Kira… It would be an honor, if you'd stay and work with me." L stared at his computer with the barest of emotion.
Light blushed slightly, "Are you alright? Normally, you'd just call me Kira and chalk it up to a good day."
"Six is right. It's lonely."
Light sighed and squatted next to L, "What are you talking about?"
L gave Light a sad glance, "Will you stay with me? After you graduate? I'm offering you employment."
Light's eyes widened and he threw his arms around L, "Of course! Are you kidding? That's my dream realized!"
L tensed up at Light's arms but eventually relaxed and smiled softly.
Six stared at the cards intensely, "Four." She laid four cards down and Beyond dealt her four more cards. Beyond sighed and flipped his hand, 'A flush. Of course. He either has the best luck in the world or he's cheating.' She glared at his hand, "Impressive, and ironically hearts, but I win." She smirked and laid her full house down.
Beyond smirked, "A full house of twos and threes… How shameful."
She glared at him, "Still a full house! Lose it!" He rolled his eyes and pulled his shirt over his head. Six stared at scars on his left shoulder. "Holy shit."
He sighed and looked away, "Setting yourself on fire has consequences." He flinched when he felt Six's fingertips running along the scar.
She sighed, "For what it's worth…" She pulled her shirt over her head a to reveal a mass quantity of tiny scars along her skin, her hand fell on the largest one over her heart, "I tried to gouge my own heart out. I lost consciousness sometime into that fit of rage, blood loss I guess, maybe pain. For a while, surface cuts seemed to numb it… But, after a while… You get tired of the pain."
He smirked slightly, "That's the most depressing thing I've ever heard."
She gave him a lame glare and pulled her shirt back over her head, "Says the guy who set himself on fire, attempting suicide in one of the most painful ways."
He laughed slightly, "You're crazier than I am."
She smiled sadly, "Probably why I'm so attracted to you. Guess, crazy likes crazy."
He reached across the bed, gently touching her chin and smiled softly, "There's a reason the saying is: Misery loves company. And, if I wasn't on a fast track back to prison after this case I'd ask, if you wanted to be miserable together for a while."
She she gave a slightly drunk smile, "Can I say yes anyway?"
He laughed quietly, "I'm not stopping you." She smirked deviously and pulled him to her by his shoulders falling backwards on the bed. "It will hurt, when we have to part." He glanced away from her.
Six gently touched Beyond's jawline, "So, let's just be miserable now." She leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
A/N: Okay... That was a little angsty... Sorry. Don't worry! They aren't as damned as they think!
