"Damn. Well, it's nothing I didn't already know. Kira definitely has access to police files and based on the times of the killings they must be a student."

"Wonderful. I could be killed by a student." Beyond wrapped himself around L and snuggled against him.

"Would you please stop distracting me while I'm working." Despite his words, L leaned back and rested his head on Beyond's shoulder.

Beyond snorted. "It's my turn and you're working." He complained. "That's just mean."

"I wasn't working five minutes ago." L reminded him.

"It's no fun if you keep talking about work."

The detective sighed and put the files away. "Fine. For the next three days I won't talk about it."

Beyond stuck out his tongue childishly. "Yes you will. You can't help it."

"No I won't. I'm playing the game. So, what do you want to do?" L asked.

The criminal stuck out his tongue again and looked thoughtful. "I want to eat."

"OK, so get the phone and we'll order."

"No." Beyond shook his head. "I want to go out and eat."

L was sure he misheard. "You want to what?"

"You, me, and suits." Beyond grinned.

"Suits? I don't want to wear a suit. And what if someone recognizes us?" L exclaimed.

Beyond pinched L's cheeks. "Stop complaining. We won't get caught. All we have to do is put on some makeup for the circles under our eyes, comb our hair, and maybe some contacts. Oh, and we have to sit up straight." He leapt of the bed and made his way to the walk-in closet. After shifting through clothes he'd never worn he came out with two suits, one white and the other black. He held the white one out for L.

"White?" L groaned. "Why white?"

"What's wrong with white? You were wearing a white shirt." He gazed hungrily at L's bare torso.

"I don't want to wear white." L complained.

"Wear it." Beyond commanded.

Grumbling the entire way, L stalked to the bathroom. He closed his eyes and let the warm water run down his back, massaging the back of his neck to get the tension out. He felt a pair of hands begin to massage his back.

"Beyond what are you doing?" L turned around as the criminal pressed against him.

"I needed a bath to." Beyond whined. "I didn't feel like waiting for you to get out." He dumped shampoo on L's head.

"Hey… I am capable of washing my own hair." L dodged as Beyond tried to wash his hair.

"I know but I want to make sure it's clean…. Lawliet, stop moving." He whined.

L stopped moving and waited patiently as Beyond stuck his hair up in a crazy mohawk.

"This is fun." Beyond laughed crazily as he put his own hair into a mohawk.

"Great, I'm glad you're happy. Let's get out of here. I'm starving." L washed his hair. "Come on wash your hair already."

"No." Beyond pouted.

L had to pin Beyond against the wall and promise him three jars of strawberry jam just to get the criminal to wash the shampoo out.

"Aw, I was going to make spikes next." Beyond complained as he washed his hair.

"Too bad. Let's get out already." L turned off the spray. "So where are we going?" He asked as he wrapped a towel around his waist.

Beyond shrugged. "I'm thinking a nice quiet outdoor dinner by the water."

L stared at him incredulously. "You're not serious are you?"

Beyond folded his arms over his chest. "I'm allowed to want a quiet dinner."

"OK, whatever you want." L held his hands up defensively.

"Great, now hold still so I can do your hair." Beyond held up a comb and smiled maliciously.

The detective backed up against the wall. "You are not doing my hair."

Beyond grinned. "Yes I am. It's my turn. Remember?"

L groaned but allowed himself to be groomed by the criminal.

"See, you look great." Beyond said, forcing L to look at his reflection.

His hair was parted to the right and combed thoroughly so it fell to his shoulders. "I feel like a toy." He grumbled.

"Don't complain." Beyond warned and got to work on his own hair, parting his to the left. "Great now we just need to take care of these dark circles." He pulled down the corner of one eye and poked his tongue out at L.

The whole process took just under an hour and they were soon dressed in their suits, standing straight and wearing make-up to hide the dark circles. They were almost completely unrecognizable unless one were to look closely.

"Can we go now?" L grumbled.

"Yes." Beyond practically skipped out the door followed by a very reluctant L.

"You just brought me back to the hotel didn't you?" L asked as they got onto the elevator.

"Yep." The ex-serial killer was bouncing on his heels with glee. "What's better than this? And to think I was just going to stay inside and play with you all night." He giggled behind his hand. "It's better to watch you walk around in a suit."

"You could've done that inside."

"It's so much more fun watching you get dressed up and go out in public."

"You're dressed up to." L reminded him.

"So? I don't mind." He cornered L. "I just can't wait to take it off you." He tugged at the white suit jacket.

"B, I installed cameras in all the elevators." L whispered.

Beyond turned around and flashed a peace sign and smile at the hidden camera. "I know that. That's why this is so fun." He moved back just as the doors opened.

"I'm sure Watari's just ecstatic about this." L worried as he straightened his jacket. "Let's go."

Beyond grabbed his hand and pulled him out the elevator. "Well, come on. Don't just stand there."

-------------------

"Let's get Italian. There's a really nice Italian restaurant with seats outside." Beyond said gleefully.

"Yay." L said deadpan. His back was starting hurt from having to actually use good posture.

"Don't be so depressing." Beyond's happiness diminished somewhat by L's bad mood.

L smiled. "Come on then. Let's go eat." He leaned close to whisper. "But hurry so we can play some more."

Beyond grinned. "I think you're trying to make me keep you longer."
