Update is finally here and with a little BBXLight from LAdore. Enjoy!

"Hello young man…would you mind helping an old woman cross the street?" Beyond smiled at the old woman dressed in blue, her small body seemed to shake in the warm breeze. He glanced at the house he stood in front of, the walls were paneled white and an extensive and beautiful garden took up the yard that was worked on each day from one o'clock to two o'clock in the afternoon by Mrs. Yagami.

Beyond knew this because he stood outside the house, in the darkness of course, about once a week ever since Light and he shared a cab. Beyond liked to think of it as a little…project, he had to study Light in his environment. He had to know why L was so infatuated with him.

Beyond's favorite thing about his project was the home Light lived in; it was the perfect home for a family, especially for Light. He has never stepped foot inside but he was pretty sure that the home would look like a page torn out of a magazine.

He is L's heir after all.

He wondered how Light would have turned out if he had grew up at Wammy's…maybe they would have been best friends like A and him, maybe A's death wouldn't had been so bad if Light were there.

But one can't change the past; Beyond knows this for a fact or else his life would be way different. The reason why Beyond was outside Light's house today was that he wanted to meet Light today and go on a tour of Tokyo, even though he knew every grubby nook and darkened cranny of the town. He just liked to look at the teen.

He looked back the woman, "Of course I wouldn't mind, it's not every day I get to spend time with a woman like you." He pushed himself off of the fence and laced his arm with the woman's, "Now my lady, where are we off to?"

The woman blushed, gray wisps of hair swayed around her face as she giggled.

"Oh dear, you remind me so much of my husband when he was young," she said as the strolled down the street.

"Oh really?"

"Yes yes," she looked at him with adoring green eyes, "but he passed away after we moved here. He worked with the man who owned the house you were standing in front of."

Beyond feigned confusion, he could learn a lot about Light's family this way, "Huh, I didn't know that, what does the man do?"

They walked into a park; blossoms in bloom on the trees turned the sky pink with their petals, Beyond helped the woman on a bench and sat next to her.

"Well the man is the Chief of Police here; he's lowered the crime tremendously. He's so nice, I knew him from when he was a kid…I would have never thought he would sink so low though."

"Hmm?" Beyond said, twirling blossoms between his fingers and turning them into a bright spinning disk.

"I always thought he would have married June Yakama, she was so beautiful. They looked like such an item as they walked from school hand in hand. She was head over heels for him and when he went for that woman…well, she didn't take it very well.

"Oh well," the woman blushed and waved her hand at Beyond, "this is just what I believe and who should listen to what I say, but I think the Chief's wife is a bit…you know, odd."

Beyond tilted his head, "I have no idea what you mean madam."

"She came from a family of drunkards and I know for a fact one of her aunts was in the adult movie business. The only reason why she married him was that he was a police officer and for his money."

"But aren't all marriages in Japan like that?"

The woman paused, "Well, they are. But here's another reason why I think she's odd, their son."

Beyond's eyes flashed in the dim sunlight as she said this, "Really?"

"Of of course! The Chief was gone for months when she got pregnant and the boy has the mind of a machine! I'm not trying to say that the Chief isn't intelligent…it's just odd, that all."

"Huh, that's interesting." He glanced at his arm as if he had a watch, then at the space above her head, "Well I must be going Linda, please be careful on September 25."

With that, he got up and walked away; Linda hummed a song as she waved at the young man. She looked at the sky and said, "Such a nice boy wasn't he Herman…I wonder how he knew my name though?"

Criminal Profiling was boring, at least to Light. All you had to do was just look at a suspect's record and you had him. Or her, it just depended on their background and how much their parents cared for them. Light stared out the window at the campus grounds where small people crawled on ruler thick sidewalk; he wondered where they were all going. A man wearing red could be going to Drama class or out of the country; a green haired girl could be off to a concert or off to rendezvous with a secret lover.

Humans had to be the most confusing thing to Light, all the different variables that could change a life forever.

"Oh Light…LiteBrite?" Light blinked, the classroom was empty save Beyond and him. Light smiled at the man, he gathered his things and walked up to Beyond.

"Hello Beyond…what are you doing here?"

Beyond's lips oozed into a wide smile, "Oh, I just wanted to hang out with my favorite friend in the whole wide world!" They walked out of the room and down brick steps to the courtyard, Beyond watched in amusement as Light stretched his lithe body in the sunlight. He knew L would kill to see this.

Light chuckled, "I'm just glad to get out of the classroom; my girlfriend was annoying the hell out of me. She's uptight and she's only going out with because I'm handsome and we make a 'cute' couple."

Beyond blinked.

Light had a girlfriend?

He glanced at the brunette, hoping his surprise wasn't clear in his eyes; Light was handsome and intelligent, but Beyond never would have guessed he would go into a relationship.

This was good, Beyond smirked to himself and relaxed. If L ever found out that Light had a girlfriend, he would be an empty doll for Beyond to play with. Beyond had to bite his right thumb in excitement, he couldn't wait to see those two midnight orbs bright with tears.

"Maybe you should break up with her, ha-ha," Beyond giggled, Light lifted an eyebrow from Beyond's statement. "How's that funny?" he asked as Beyond's giggled turned into peals of maddened laughter.

"Oh…ha-ha!" Beyond said through his cackles, "I remembered something really funny when you were talking, sorry."

Light's smile returned, even though a bit restrained, "It's okay Beyond, just warn me when you feel you're going to do that again."

"Will do Lig-"

"Ahem," a feminine voice sounded behind the pair, Beyond nearly giggled as he saw Light's shoulders tense up.

"Oh hey there…you," Light turned around and feigned a smile at the dark haired girl in front of him. Beyond gave her an once-over, hating her as soon as she confidently pecked Light on the cheek. She smiled at Light and let it fall into some sort of grimace as she saw Beyond standing next to him, "Light…is this one of your acquaintances?"

Beyond gave her a smirk, "Nope, me and Light are close….real close."

"Well I'm his girlfriend, Takada Kiyomi. Don't we make the cutest couple?" she asked with an adorable voice and eyes as hard as glass. Light mouthed 'Say Yes!' to Beyond. "Maybe…if we took you out of the equation and paired him with a model then yes, they would be the cutest couple.

Light mouthed 'Thanks' sarcastically behind the girl, but Beyond continued on. "Light and I were just talking about all the pretty girls at his school," the girl blushed as he said this, "but he never said anything about you."

She paled, "Oh really? Well then maybe I should remind Light that I'm the only girl on the campus and fifty mile radius with an IQ of 180." Light was glaring daggers at him now but he didn't care, he was having twice the amount of fun he has making fun of L. "What if I said Light didn't give a damn about your IQ and thought that you were a frozen bitch?" Beyond was amazing at paraphrasing, especially when it came to insults. She turned to Light, her eyes two great, big balls of hellfire, "Maybe Light can go to the art gallery alone next week because we are over!"

Beyond inwardly chuckled as Light reeled back from her anger, he looked like a deer about to be hit by a truck. Beyond smiled and linked arms with Light, "That's perfect! Now Light and I can hang out without having to worry about you ruining our plans." He turned to Light, "Let's go visit our favorite little shut-in shall we?"

Light looked back Takada as he walked away with Beyond; her face was a mix of emotions, mostly anger though as she glared at the pair walking away. He wished to run back to her and explain…but the warmth from Beyond's arm kept him going forward.

L leaned toward the computer screen, his eyes bright as the light reflected off his irises. Every once in a while his eyes would flicker to the door, ears strained to hear Light's voice or footsteps. It had been weeks since the detective had seen him; the little nugget of worry in his chest had turned into a monster that shook him to his very core whenever he saw Beyond leave to visit the teen. Today was no exception; Beyond had already been gone for more than three hours and L was sure that getting groceries did not take that long.

"L?" a familiar voice called out from the hallway. L's heart skipped a beat as he turned around in his chair, Light was here! And hopefully without Beyond. Light walked through the door and smiled at the detective, "Hey there L, I just got of class, did I miss anything while I was gone?"

L shook his head and silently rejoiced; his Light was still the same teen he was when L met for the first time, Beyond's plan to corrupt him failed horribly. Light took a seat next to L and started up his computer, "Well that's good, Beyond had been dragging me around the city for about 30 minutes and I didn't want to piss you off by coming in late."

L ground his teeth in anger as Light said the man's name; it was a horrible idea to have brought the crazed man with him. The detective should have left in his cell to rot and…L frowned, where was the man anyway? "Light, did Beyond tell you where he was going?"

"What? He was right behind me when we came into the building," Light said, his honey eyes flickered with concern. L bit his thumb hard, nothing good could come from Beyond's absence, "Do you want me to go look for him?" Light asked the detective.

"No no, I'm sure he'll pop in sometime…he has a way of doing that lately."

The pair spent the next hour working in silence in the room, L jumped with every noise in the building; he hated it when he didn't know where Beyond was.

"Litebright!" Beyond's voice cuts through the silence, L groaned as the door opened and Beyond glided over to the pair. "Hiya Light! We gotta go…now," Beyond whispered loudly to the teen, a smile curled on his lips as he saw L's body stiffen. Light blinked, he was in the middle of an intriguing case file, "Ah sorry Beyond…I'm really making progress on the case. Maybe another time."

Beyond's eyes flashed blood red under the bright lights, L could feel the anger radiating off the man, he smiled. Beyond sighed and tried again, gently placing a hand over Light's arm and giving it a squeeze, "But Light," the man whined and leaned in close to the teen's ear, "I wanna take you somewhere really special." Beyond smirked as he felt L's eyes glare into him.

Light had never been this close to Beyond before, the man smelled sweet like ripe berries on the bush, Light breathed in more of Beyond's scent. Beyond gently pulled on the teen's arm and whispered, "Please?" Light sighed and rose from his seat, "Sorry L, I'll be back soon and finish up the file ok?" Beyond and him went toward the door, but L called out to them, "Where are you guys going?"

Beyond turned and smiled at the man, "Oh well Light broke up with his girlfriend today, so I'm taking him to a party so he can meet some new people." And hopefully get him drunk enough he won't remember he did the night before, Beyond whispered in his mind. L glared at the young man, he yearned to be able to go with Light and keep him safe from harm, but he didn't want to risk his life.

L shrugged and returned to his work, "Hey Light," he said to the teen, "did you know that Beyond was quite the ladies' man?" Light frowned and glanced at the man next to him, Beyond's smile seemed to falter a bit as L said this. "Really?" the teen asked.

"Oh yeah! I remember his first girlfriend…what was her name?" the detective muttered to himself, half-smiling as he heard Beyond take a deep breath. "She was really …stupid, if you ask me, she couldn't anything right. But Beyond stuck with her until she fell or something," Light placed a hand on Beyond's shoulder only to have it smacked away by the man. L turned around to face Beyond, his burgundy eyes were full of anger and a hint of sorrow, "Beyond, you didn't forget her name did you? I know it was years ago but-"

"Her name was Akane!" Beyond spat out the detective, so very close to punching that smirk off of L's face, "and she wasn't stupid either!"

"Oh yeah…what about the other one?" L asked.

Beyond frowned, "What other one?"

"The one who's in your apartment in the city."

"Oh the whore!"Beyond slapped his forehead and chuckled, "Well I'm never at my apartment so I don't talk to her." He shrugged and walked out of the room; Light stared at the man as he walked away and turned to L.

"L, that wasn't funny at all," Light said to the detective, his eyes as hard as rock. L paled and started to get up from his chair, "Light, I didn't mean to say it like-"

"I thought that you of all people would be a little nicer when it came to relationships but I guess I was wrong," each word the teen said made L's heart sink a bit lower. L crossed the room and tried to touch Light but the teen pulled away, "Don't touch me, "Light growled. "I'm going with Beyond, I'll see you whenever L," Light muttered and headed out the door. L sank to the floor and sighed, Beyond had Light right where he wanted him.

Beyond rocked back and forth on his heels in the lobby, waiting for Light to come downstairs. A small chuckle slipped past his lips as the teen's footsteps echoed above, Beyond wished he could kiss the detective right on the lips. L just threw his doll into Beyond's lap…and he wasn't going to give it back.

"Beyond!" Light called out as he entered the lobby, Beyond hunched his shoulders and held his face in his hands. Time to put his acting classes to use.

Light gasped when he saw the man crying, he ran towards him and patted his shoulder. "I'm sorry that L said those things back there Beyond," Light whispered, "I guess his social awkwardness brings out his worst at times." Beyond sighed and pulled away from the teen, Light spoke again, "Beyond, I'm sure that you loved your girlfriend and that you actually have a heart, opposite of what L says."

"Really?" Beyond whispered, he bit the inside of his cheek to keep his chuckles at bay.

"You really think that Litebright?" Beyond watched the teen nod and walk toward, he didn't pull away this time. "Yeah, I know how it feels to be different," Light placed his hand on Beyond's shoulder again, then to his face. "Beyond, look at me."

Beyond smirked as he heard these three words, but it switched places with a frown as he lowered his hands from his face. Light blinked when he saw tears in Beyond's eyes, his heart seemed to flutter in his chest as he gazed at the man. "I want you to know that I really care about Beyond, I'll make sure L never says those things to you again," Light whispered and pulled the man into a hug. Beyond wrapped his arms around the teen, marveling in how warm Light's chest was. He wondered how warm his other body parts were.

Beyond broke the embrace and punched Light's arm softly, "So will you go to the party with me?" Light chuckled and ruffled his auburn hair, "Sure, but it better be fun." Beyond giggled and dragged the teen to the doors, "Oh I promise you, it will be."

Light's heart began to beat frantically when Beyond and he walked over to warehouses in the dark of night, lengthened shadows held much more than empty air and decaying fish. "Beyond…where exactly is this party?" Light hissed at the man as they strolled down a dock, graffiti tattooed every warehouse they passed by. "It's just a little farther Light," Beyond said, he quickly added, "you can hold my hand if you're scared." Light blushed and fell silent, Beyond's statement made him feel odd.

He knew he cared for the man but it was how much that worried him, Light didn't know if Beyond would accept his feelings. Light didn't notice that Beyond had stopped and walked right into him, slamming them both into to the ground. Light's hand found its way under Beyond's shirt, his fingertips grazed soft, supple skin. His head landed right into Beyond's hair, which for some reason smelled of raspberries. Beyond groaned from under the teen, pushing them both up into a sitting position.

"Did you go blind, Light?" Beyond asked, the irritation clear in his voice as he wiped the dirt from his hands on his shirt. Light shook his head, glad that the darkness hid his blushing face, "I'm sorry Beyond, I was just thinking of something important."

"Hmm not your ex I hope?" Light chuckled, "Nope, you kinda helped me get out of that situation." Beyond smirked in the dark, "…Ah, Light?"

"Yeah?" "You can take your hand off my back now," Beyond giggled as the teen's hand quickly slid out from his shirt, he pushed himself up and offered a hand to Light. Light brushed himself off and looked at the warehouse before them, a large building crumbling with age and cracked windows pulsing in their stands as music blared from inside.

"Follow me Light," Beyond called from over his shoulder as he walked over to two double doors, an imposing and bald man stood in front of the doors, guarding them. "Hiya Bill," Beyond said, slapping the arm of the big man. Light stood a little behind his friend, fighting his instinct to run away from the scene. Bill glanced at the dark-haired man for a second and smiled wide, his voice a gravelly roar from years of smoking, "Hey there Beyond, haven't seen you in a while." Bill gestured to the door, "You coming in?" "Yeah, me and my friend," Beyond pointed to Light, beckoning him to come closer. "What happened to you and Diane?" Bill asked.

Light watched Beyond's jaw twitch, "We don't talk anymore, Bill…are you going to let us in?" Bill nodded, and with one fluid movement wrenched open the steel doors, the sound waves from the loud music shook Light's body to the core. Beyond grabbed Light's arm and pulled him into the building, noting that the teen looked so vulnerable as the ravers pressed themselves to the pair.

Beyond led Light over to plush velvet couch, grabbing them two cups of something dark red and smelled sweet. "Here you go LiteBrite," Beyond yelled over the speakers as he handed Light his cup, "drink up!" Light took a gulp of the liquid, immediately regretting it as the liquid burned down his throat. Beyond giggled as he watched Light' face scrunch up in disgust, "What is this?" the teen muttered to the man.

"Pomegranate liquor and I think some vodka," Beyond shrugged, "I could be wrong though."

"Beyonddddddddd!" a female voice screeched over the music, Light watched in amusement as a girl grabbed the man from behind, her hair every color of the rainbow.

The girl started to babble as she climbed off Beyond, "I've missed you so much and like ohmigod, you won't believe what happened to me last week-" Beyond cut her off, shooting her a deadly glare, "Light, this is Diane…my stalker. I hope you two never meet again." Diane glanced at Light, her baby blue eyes widened in surprise, "Wow, you're really cute! No wonder Beyond's hanging out with you, do you have a girlfriend? 'Cause like, all my friends are like, in such total need of like a boy toy and-"

Beyond glanced at his bare wrist, "Hey! Look at the time; Light and me have to be getting out of here." The man pouted and patted the girl on her head, pulling Light from his seat Beyond said, "Sorry Diane, guess we'll talk later…"

Light waved at the girl as Beyond pulled him back in the crowd, the heat from the building and the scent of sweat from all the people were making him dizzy. "Beyond, we are leaving, right?" the teen asked Beyond as they headed into the middle of the dance floor. The man smiled and wrapped his arms around Light, "Oh, I was lying LiteBrite…I just wanted to get away so that we can have fun." Beyond swung Light around, sway his hips to the music, he leaned in close to the teen, "Just one dance Light, I promise."

Just one dance, the words repeated in his head. One dance. The brunette wondered if Beyond truly meant one dance and not two or three; he knew how the man could become so carried away with things. There was little time to contemplate over the proposal, since everything in the room started to tilt at a sharp forty-five degree angle to the left – he couldn't believe that one cocktail had succeeded in absolutely destroying his sobriety within a matter of minutes.

He terminated the thought as the man turned to look at him, though he quickly glanced elsewhere; admittedly, there was a bit of guilt somewhere inside of him as he pitied wanting to leave so hastily. He deduced he could muster a dance – one dance – with the man.

Honestly, how bad could it be?

With a smile, he looked at him. "Alright, Beyond, let's – "

He fell silent abruptly. He had been vaguely aware that the man's hips had been continuing to sway with perfect, though appalling grace, and that they had been slowly approaching his waist with tantalizing finesse. The space between their bodies had been reduced to mere inches, and the brunette swore he could feel the warmth of his own body merging with that of Beyond's, but for some reason, he did not repel from the nearness. He liked the intimacy and consented to it without a wince, as he allowed his arms to swing freely to the beat of the music and he attempted to warmly gaze directly into that dark, chaste stare.

This wasn't so bad…yet.

He flashed a smile, though it quickly vanished.

Beyond shoved his hands up his shirt.

Light froze.

The man squeezed.

Light flinched, and nudged the man back roughly.

"What the hell, Beyond," he spat. "I knew L was socially awkward, but not you too!"

He saw the man frown – were those…puppy dog eyes?

Unbelievable.

Light sighed sharply. "…I'm sorry, Beyond."

"…What?" the pout.

"I said, 'I'm sorry!'" he raised his voice carefully. "Let's just, dance, okay?"

With a slight huff, the brunette returned his arms to his sides to commence his casual rhumba to the infectious flow of the catchy rhythm and blues tune. Beyond behaved, dancing respectively with his hands remaining close to his slender frame - not up under his friend's shirt and squeezing his breasts - as he continued to swing to the tempo of the song. Light would have never guessed the man was such a dancer, and the fact took him by surprise, pleasantly. Beyond thought alike.

He became fond of the nonchalant sort of air the brunette carried when he danced, so relaxed, so lenient, so smooth. He wondered how the brunette would behave in other intimate situations…but, for now, intimacy could only be pushed so far when on the dance floor. He decided to move a little closer to the handsome teen whilst he continued swaying to the infectious rhythm of the tune. He looked at him, and the teen smiled softly.

Light felt his heart flutter.

Those hips wouldn't stop swaying.

It didn't help that the song was excruciatingly lengthy, and the stupid throbbing of the incessant bass line only made the man's powerful swaying seem even more...provocative. He failed to keep a fixed stare on the man's face and not his thrusting crotch as the manner in which he danced became fiercer, harder, and he knew Beyond wasn't at all ashamed of his risqué rhumba. But, the truth was, Light wasn't at all ashamed for liking how the man danced, despite how risqué it may have been.

Their crotches brushed.

They were practically grinding.

Light flushed in arousal, but surprisingly mustered a small smirk.

"Beyond," the purr.

He looked at the man's face, at his lips.

Beyond liked that smirk. "I know that face."

Light flashed his teeth. "You know me all too well."

Softly, he cradled the man's hips in his palms whilst the speed of their dancing reduced to a moderate, gentle sway to the softening tune. His handsome faced eased near to the man's as one of his hands swept along the subtle arch in his partner's side to modestly embrace his back, and he smiled upon feeling the man fail to suppress a shiver.

He took a step further and disregarded the crowd of people that may surround them; there was but a small amount of space between their frames, and again, Beyond became encased within the warmth of the teen's body so near, enclosed within the masculine scent of his rich cologne and the natural aroma of his flesh. He whispered something into the brunette's ear that made him smile dreamily and spurred him to tuck his face against the man's shoulder, against the sweet spot between the side of his neck and his jaw.

He hummed softly in delight.

The music hushed, and he pulled him in for an avid kiss.

Someone clapped. Beyond moaned.

"Mmn."

Light smiled, and gracefully, stepped away.

Beyond blinked. "…Light," the gasp. "You are a remarkable kisser."

Light heard him, but the words sounded slurred, like a bunch of gibberish and mumbo-jumbo. He stumbled over open air and stifled a noise of his unease as disorientation started to muddle up with his sense of balance, and it became clear in his dilated stare that his drunkenness had, at last, settled, at the perfect time. Inwardly, Light cursed that damn drink. He bedamned that pomegranate liquor or vodka or whatever-the-hell-it-was cocktail he had drank so unhesitantly, like a damn fool. The room spun and obscured. He felt nauseous.

Light struggled to focus of the man. "Nh? Oh, th-thanks."

Everything now tilted at a three hundred and sixty degree angle.

He had no idea people could stand on the ceiling

And who knew Beyond had a twin brother?

Light tripped on his own foot – twice. He clutched the man's arm.

"Ohh…"

The man stared. "…Perhaps there was more vodka in that pomegranate liquor than I thought."

"…Ugh."

He fell in a graceful heap on the floor.

Beyond stepped back.

"…Oh, dear."
