C drove the old truck along the dirt jungle path as BB directed him where to go while watching out of the window mindlessly. C gave BB a passing glance as Beyond was glancing at C. C's intense blue eyes flicked back to the road and BB sighed and huffed leaning his head on the window. C kept his eyes on the trail but placed a hand on Beyond's hand that rested on his leg. "I'm sorry."

Beyond looked up at the man, "For what?"

C flinched, "I'll never be that person you search for in me."

Beyond smirked, "Oh, I know. But, the fact that you thought about it, speaks volumes. I don't want you to be anything else than the man who got hung up for over a decade. I can figure the rest out as we go." He smiled and looked back out the window. "We'll arrive soon, we need to park and hide the truck then walk into town."

C pulled the truck over to the side of the path behind a tree then exited and sliced several large branches down with precise throwing dagger strikes. C turned around the be inches from Beyond's red eyes. "Beyond…"

Beyond rolled his eyes and gave a half smile, "Don't force it, Caspy. I get it, I'm a big boy, I've learned to handle temporary rejection." Beyond turned around to start walking into town.

Caspian grabbed Beyond from behind and pulled him into some thick bushes placing his hand over his mouth. He leaned placing his lips on Beyond's ear and in an almost inaudible breathy tone, "We're being hunted." Beyond took a silently breath steadying himself and nodded signaling its okay. Caspian took his hand away from his mouth and continued to keep his lips to his ear. "I do love you. With every fiber of my being. Lest you'd have died by now." Beyond blushed at this statement. "Do you trust me?" Beyond nodded quickly. "Do exactly as I say…"

Beyond darted out of the bushes following the exact pattern of steps C told him to take the sniper took aim and fired, missing marginally. As he brought his gun down to reload his eyes met C's deep gaze. "The reaper of Souls…" the assassin's voice tapered off as Caspian plunged a Kunai into his neck. He dropped from the tree and landed with cat-like grace.

Beyond took a deep breath and put his hands in his pockets then started walking to town, "If we don't hurry Light will have kittens."

C stared at BB with a disturbed face as he ran to catch up. "How? That is physically impossible… And genetically…"

Beyond turned and pressed a kiss on Caspian's lips. "Shut up. It's a figure of speech."

C gave an awkward smirk and placed his hands on Beyond's shoulders and pulled him into another kiss.

Matt laid back on the dock with his arms behind his head and his red hair falling into his face as Mello dangled his feet off the dock. Watching the sun set and hearing his own stomach grumble. "Did Light send C and B out for food?"

Mello nodded and stood up, "I'm going to get changed… Hey… Where is-" Mello was silenced with Matt's lips and soft hug. Mello smiled softly and pulled his head back, "Something has been bothering me."

Matt tilted his head, "Am I in trouble?"

Mello laughed, "No. How did Light get your electronics away from you?"

Matt blushed, "Have you ever stood near Light, and I don't mean in the general vicinity… I mean. Like right next to him?" Mello shook his head. Matt sighed, "He has a way with words… And sleeper holds."

Mello's cheeks burned bright red and threatened to release a loud cackle. "So… Wait." He accidentally released a small giggle. "He put you in a sleeper hold?"

Matt sighed and hung his head, "Yeah… I don't like passing out, so I agreed."

Mello stopped laughing and put a hand on his shoulder, "I know… I'm sorry. Let's go see if Light has an food, or if you can at least have one of your games back."

Matt followed Mello into house to see Light pacing and L haunched over in a chair, "C and B still aren't back. I can't say for sure, however, there is a distinct possibility that they should have been here by now, perhaps, seventy-two? No, seventy-three percent chance."

Matt shrugged, "Maybe they finally hooked up."

Mello laughed and followed Matt into the room they were sharing, "It would be about damn time!"

Matt held up a finger towards Mello and ran out towards the kitchen, "Hey, Light?"

Light's face wore a worried but trying to stay calm façade. He stopped pacing and stared out the window that was above the sink, "What, Matt?"

Matt stood next to him, "Don't worry, they'll be back, they wouldn't leave us. And C… He's the stuff of Whammy legends and ghost stories told to the younger orphans. He won't go down easy, just the mention of him would make kids shiver. We all thought he was just a scary story… Well, I did, until I saw him in the flesh." Light smiled and handed Matt his games and watched him skip to his room where Mello waited, "Got 'em, Mels!" Matt slammed the door behind him.

L watched Matt run into his room then stood up, putting his hands in his pockets and walked up behind light, snaking his hands around his waist. "I love you, but you worry more than you should… You'll be old and grey by the time your 30!"

Light closed his eyes and let out an audible sigh, "Will you still love me?" L blinked a couple times. "When I'm no longer young and beautiful?" L rested his head in between Light's shoulder blades. "When all I have left is my aching soul?"

L smiled and held Light tighter, "I will love you even more."

Light opened his eyes and turned around and snagged L up into a hug before he could completely lose his balance. "I will always love you, I always have. No matter what fate throws at us. I believe we were meant to be here together." Light gently pressed his lips onto L's neck.

L tilted his head away from Light allowing him more access letting out a soft moan. "Mm, Light." L could feel Light's hands rest onto his hips. "Not here." Light smiled into his kisses on L's neck, but continued to trail kisses to the top of his shoulders. "Light! Please…" His voice trailing off into more soft moans.

Light slowly backed L against the island in the center of the kitchen, "Do I have to stop?"

L was panting lightly, "Well, just not in here… They could be back any minute… I would really hate to be in that compromising position with either of them looking at me. I mean, Beyond is my brother, and Caspian… He's basically my brother, I grew up with both of them." L muttered as he placed his thumb on his lips pushing the upper lip upwards slightly and made the pouting face he knew Light couldn't resist. "We could always move this to a more secluded room."

Light lifted L off the ground and over his shoulder walking to the room they had claimed, "Well. When you put it like that…" L smiled watching the main room get more distant.

L caught the doorknob with his toes, "Hold on, Mister Yagami." Light gave a sexually frustrated groan that could have almost been mistaken for a growl.

"What, Luis, it's been a while." Light tensed up, but when L started speaking he seemed to relax again.

"Sorry. I didn't mean for it to come off as I was trying to stall." L sheepishly mumbled.

Light turned the door knob and tossed L on the bed, shut the door behind him then crawled up to L and pinned him down with a stare that felt like it was devouring him. L gave a devious smirk. Then stole a quick kiss, earning a menacing smile from Light.

Near and Sayu sat on the beach of the ocean watching the phytoplankton sparkle in the tiny waves. Sayu staring at Near as he looked up to the sky that lit up with tiny diamonds. "Why?" Sayu whispered without thinking.

Near looked down at her and watched her honey brown eyes, "I don't want to love somebody else…"

Sayu blushed bright red, "I, I meant, why me in the first place."

Near looked back up at the starlit night, "You were the first to see me as a nice guy, and you told me that you thought I was cute, I guess a guy can get hung up on their first love."

Sayu smiled and laid her head on his shoulder, "I'm your first love?"

Near blushed slightly, "Sayu… You're my first everything…"

Sayu's eyes widened, "Everything?"

Near cleared his throat, "Well, first kiss… The first girl to hold my hand… Not call me a freak, or albino. You're the first girl who ever wanted anything to do with me out in public. Let's see, you're also… Uh, maybe too soon."

Sayu searched the side of Near's face for clues. "Also what."

Near sighed, "No, it's okay. You're just the first girl I ever liked."

Sayu narrowed her eyes a little, "Nate Rivers, what else?"

Near cringed at his name, "Well, it's to be assumed if you're my first kiss it's a safe assumption that I lost my virginity to you." His face turned beat red and he turned away from her.

Sayu gasped and covered her mouth with her hands, then she reached out for his shoulder, "Really? You're just so cute, I have a hard time seeing it like that."

Near gave her a disheartened stare, "Well, you are."

Sayu softly laid her hand on his shoulder and she moved closer to him. "Nate, I-I… Know it to be true in my heart…"

Near looked her over once, "Know what?"

Sayu sat on his lap and pressed their lips together, "That, I love you."
