"Ow." L was dozing slightly among the large pillows when Beyond began poking his side without warning.
"Don't be such a baby. It didn't even hurt." Beyond moved on to poke L's stomach.
"What are you doing?" L asked as Beyond started poking his own abdomen.
"Why are you so thin?" Beyond whined. "You eat junk all day and you're thin. It's not fair." He pouted as he poked the nonexistent fat around his middle.
L laughed loudly until tears rolled down his face and his sides ached. "Are you saying you're fat? You're such an idiot. You're what? A pound heavier?" L laughed.
"Don't laugh. It's not funny." Beyond made a face a spoiled two-year-old would envy.
"So you're the fat twin then?" L laughed, gasping for breath.
"Stop it." Beyond whined. "I hate when you refer to us as twins. We just look a lot alike."
"Who's fault is that?" L couldn't seem to stop laughing. The laughter was infectious though and soon Beyond cracked a smile.
"Shut up." He said fondly. He looked at the clock on the hotel's nightstand. "We still have two days. So what should we do today?"
L calmed down enough to breathe normally and answered, "You're asking me? You're the one who insisted that the one who caught the other was in complete control."
"Yeah but now I'm asking you. What do you want to do? I don't think we'll have much longer together." Beyond laid his head on L's bare chest.
The detective ran his fingers through Beyond's unruly black hair. "I don't think so either." He kissed the top of his companion's head.
Beyond's mood changed quickly from upset to maniacally happy. "Let's do something fun."
"Like what?"
"I don't know. Think of something." Beyond demanded.
L was quiet for a moment. He snapped his fingers as an idea came to him. "Remember when I caught you in America? We had that hotel room by the ocean." L said growing more excited by the second.
"No." Beyond said quickly. "We're not doing that again."
"Please." L snuggled against his lover. "Let me do it."
"No. Last time you did it you stopped right in the middle and it nearly drove me insane."
"You should have seen the look on your face. I had to stop and just look for a moment." L explained. "And what do you mean 'drove me insane'? I thought you already were." He meant the comment only as a joke and was confused when Beyond moved away from him, turning on his side so his back was to L.
"First fat twin jokes now cracks on my sanity." Beyond muttered. "I wonder who's worse. You or Watari?"
"Don't be upset." L began kissing his lover's neck and shoulder. "You know I didn't mean it."
Beyond muttered something into the pillow, his thin frame shaking slightly.
L draped his arm over Beyond's waist. "You're not crying because of what I said are you? I didn't mean it. I love you, B."
"Don't be so sentimental." Beyond lifted his head and sniffed, a tear falling from the tip of his nose.
"What's wrong? I've never seen you like this." L had a worried look on his face.
"We're going to die." Beyond sniffed again. Tears coursing down his face.
"Of course we are." L pressed his forehead against Beyond's shoulder. "We already talked about it. There's no need to be upset about it."
"But I don't want you to die." Beyond turned back around to embrace L, his ear over L's heart.
"I don't want you to die either." The detective said softly. "If I can find Kira soon we won't have to. I'll find him. I promise."
"I hope so."
"Come on and stop crying. Let's do something fun to cheer you up." L kissed the top of Beyond's head gently.
"You act like I'll break or something." Beyond kissed L with such intensity they were both left breathless when it was over.
"Wow." L said breathlessly.
"Let's do it." Beyond jumped from the bed.
"What?"
"The same thing we did last time. What do we need? Whip cream, fudge…"
"Cherries and leather cuffs." L finished. "And tell me you're letting me do it."
"Nope." Beyond grinned maliciously. "Payback for the fat twin jokes."
L groaned. "Alright but we have to go back to the other hotel. We left all your stuff there."
"Great. Get your clothes back on. I'm going to check us out." Beyond was already putting his suit back despite it's rumpled appearance and was headed out the door.
L sighed heavily but put his clothes back on. They had already finished their desserts the night before so L tossed the boxes in the trash before following Beyond out the door. As soon as the elevator doors opened L saw Beyond bouncing on his heels in front of the main doors. As soon as his crazy look-alike saw him a he waved and gestured for L to hurry.
"What's your rush?" L asked. "We still have two days together. There's plenty of time to do it again."
"I want to do it now." Beyond grabbed L's hand and pulled him into the bright sun waving for a cab. One pulled up shortly, just in front of them.
"Can't I do it? You enjoyed it last time." L tried to convince Beyond to change his mind.
"And you'll enjoy it this time. I promise." Beyond pushed L ahead of him into the taxi, quickly giving the driver a location.
They arrived back at their original hotel quickly and Beyond was already pulling L out of the cab before it even stopped, throwing a hundred on the seat before closing the door.
During the elevator ride Beyond couldn't resist making a face at the camera and continued to do so until L turned him around and pinned him in the corner.
"You shouldn't do that. These cameras have live feed and are recording everything you do."
"So? I'm just making a face. Watari won't get mad at me for that."
"No, he won't but since it's recording I think we should do something I'd like to watch over and over again." L undid Beyond top buttons and began kissing his neck and collarbone.
Beyond tilted his head back to make it easier for him. "I don't think Watari would like this very much." He gasped.
"I'm not doing this for Watari." L paused to say before sucking at the tender skin at the base of Beyond's neck.
"L, the doors opened." Beyond whispered.
"Damn." L muttered. "Well at least we still have the hotel room."
"Yep. Now hurry up so we can get started." Beyond took L's hand again and pulled him down the hall. L grinned in anticipation.
