"Beyond?" L had fallen asleep next to the ex-serial killer in the massive bed. He poked his look-alike but only got a grunt in response. "Beyond wake up." He poked him again and got a bit more of a response. Beyond groaned and turned in his sleep, draping his leg over the detective and using him like a body pillow. L buried his head in the plush pillow and felt another headache coming on.
"Stop moving." Beyond grumbled, shifting his head closer to L's shoulder.
"Wake up. I need a computer." L complained. "I need to solve this case."
"Solve it later, your mine." Beyond let his hand roam possessively over L's body.
"Do you want to die? Because Kira will kill you." L warned. "I have to solve this."
"I don't really care." Beyond grinned. "I think it's more fun, not knowing."
L groaned into the pillow. "Does it bother you that I might die then? Kira will definitely try to kill me."
Now it was Beyond's turn to groan as he got up from the bed. "I guess when you put it that way…"
"And a phone." L yelled when Beyond disappeared out the door.
"Laptop and phone." Beyond said as he walked back through the door.
"And jam on the keys." L wiped his fingers on his jeans.
Beyond shrugged. "I have cravings."
The detective ignored the sticky jam on the phone and the ex-serial killer doing handstands as he dialed a number. "Watari?"
"L, where are you? Beyond Birthday contacted me but he wouldn't tell me where you are." Watari's voice was filled with concern.
L cast a glace at Beyond, who was walking on his hands. "I can't tell you. Just tell me if anything new has happened."
"Nothing new but are you alright? You don't sound well."
L rubbed his forehead with the heel of his hand in an attempt to banish the headache. "I fell. You know how Beyond can get."
"You're not hurt too badly are you? Let me speak to Beyond." Watari demanded.
"Beyond, Watari wants to speak to you." L handed the jam covered phone to Beyond.
"Watari!" Beyond said in a sing-song voice. As Watari spoke to him he started to become less maniacally happy and started to pout a little. "But I-" Beyond tried but was cut off.
L felt bad for him. It was the first time he had seen the crazed criminal close to tears. L reached out and motioned for the phone. Beyond stuffed the phone in his hand quickly.
"Watari." L cut his keeper off in mid-tirade. "Wait…please stop. I'm fine. Beyond will come pick up all of the files. Don't worry. I'll see you in less then a week." L hung up the phone and found himself being pinned to the bed by a very upset Beyond.
"I'm not selfish am I?" Beyond clutched the front of L's shirt.
"You're upset because Watari said you were selfish?"
"I'm not. I just want to play a game. What's so wrong with that?" Beyond was nearly hysterical.
"Calm down." L wrapped his arms around Beyond's neck. "You're not selfish."
Beyond nuzzled L's neck. "There's no need to be insulting. He called me senseless. I'm not. You jumped off the roof, not me."
L laughed. "I tripped." He held Beyond's face in his hands and kissed his cheeks. "Don't listen to what Watari said. You know he was just worried about me. Last time, you didn't exactly bring me back in the best condition."
Beyond snorted. "It's not my fault you bit your lip and you insisted I be rougher."
"I can't believe you would try and blame it on me." L exclaimed. He reversed their positions and pinned Beyond under him. His hands buried in long, unruly, black hair so much like his own. He arched his back like a cat to stretch his still aching back. The detective planted a quick kiss on the criminal's neck.
"Does your back still hurt?" Beyond asked. Without waiting for an answer he reversed their positions again made L turn over. He ran his hands over L's back, massaging it with expert hands.
"Tell me how you learn to do that." L practically purred.
Beyond snickered. "I'm just good with my hands." He continued to massage. "You're going to die working on this case." He said suddenly.
"Yes, I know." L whispered.
"I don't want to play this game without you." Beyond said sadly. "It's no fun with someone stupid."
L flipped over onto his back to look at him. "You don't mean our game do you?"
Beyond nodded as he bit his lip, looking at L with puppy dog eyes.
L kissed him tenderly. "It's ok to keep living and without me you don't have to be the world's smartest criminal anymore."
The escaped convict laid his head on L's chest and listened to his heart beat for a second. "I don't want you to lose to Kira. That just means there's a criminal smarter than me." Beyond whined. "I can't be second to a criminal. Do you know how hard I've worked? If I lose to some criminal killing criminals that'll be awful." He pouted…again.
L tugged on Beyond's hair. "We're not second to Kira. We can't be. We were raised to be the smartest. It's impossible for us to lose."
"We better not." Beyond growled. "Now stop talking. Your mine for less than a week and I don't want to waste time." He nipped and sucked at the tender patch of skin at the base of L's neck making him shiver.
L let him have his fun for a minute before he pushed him off gently. "I really need those files."
"Not now." Beyond moved down and, pulling L's shirt up, teased L's nipple with his tongue.
"I need-" L gasped. "B, I need those, ah…ahhh" L couldn't form a coherent thought.
Soon they were tangled amongst the sheets, completely limp and satisfied.
"OK, I can wait." L murmured drowsily.
"I'll get it now." Beyond leapt off the bed and pulled on his jeans before skipped out the door. "Honestly," he yelled. "I wonder; what's the point of playing this game if all your going to do is work when it's my turn."
"That's not all I do." L mumbled.
