C watched the waves crash into the sea wall from the roof of the opera house while hugging his knees resting his chin on them.

"I thought we were meeting in the rafters." B stood behind him with both of his hands in his pockets looking up at the full moon.

C glanced at his watch, "You're early."

B looked at his watch, "At least I know how to keep a promise, unlike some."

C closed his eyes defeatedly, "If you came to insult me, take your cheap shots and leave, it will hurt less."

B's expression softened, "I'm sorry, I'm being cold… That's not why I came here. I—" C stood up and dropped his coat revealing scars and wounds all over his arms and shoulders. His tight fitting tank top left his neck exposed where a nasty gash laid to rest. C looked down and glanced back. B reached for C's arm, "What… C…"

"I died for you, several times. I was beaten, tortured…" C looked up and lost his trail of thought, "You never left my mind… I wish I just ran away for no reason, and never came back because I forgot. I wish I hurt you that way. But that's…" C turned to look at B his intense eyes being brightened by the full moon. "I've always loved you, I will always love you. I knew I would find you… Somehow… That's all you need to know."

B stared into C's eyes, "I… I hated you for so long, but I don't know if it was ever actually hate, I think I was just hurt." B tucked his face behind his hands and gave an irritated groan. "Why?! You always were the most inconvenient person!"

C closed his eyes, "So, either you forgive me and I stay or you don't and I leave and continue on my way." C turned back around and picked his coat up and swung it back onto himself. "Make a decision." C walked past B who was speechless.

B caught C's hand, "I can. I can forgive you. But I need time to love you again. I'm only human and I bleed when I fall down…"

C leaned in and kissed the hand that B used to catch his with. "No one is more than that." C let go of B's hand and climbed down the looked up at B. B stared down at him, lost in his intense blue eyes.

B smirked, "Say something."

"Anything." C replied with smile. B stood up and turned around out his arms out. C's eyes widened as B fell backwards. C took a couple steps forward and caught him, "What the hell were you thinking?" C's grasp tightened on B's ankle, "What is that?"

B looked up into C's eyes, "Side effects may include suicidal thoughts or tendencies as well as increased irritability, unusual—" B could feel C's lips against his and he relaxed into his arms.

C held him close, "Cut the crap, what was that about."

B sighed, "I want to trust you. But, the fact that you of all previous agents being here in Sydney speaks volumes… who would hire a rogue agent, a mercenary. Clearly you're not working with us, we would have been briefed."

C set B down and stared into his eyes, "Truth be told, I was hired to kill all of you. Seems Watari caught on to my employers game and sent you, even broke you out of jail to save his precious L." C took a couple steps back still holding onto B's hands. "I love you. I walked away from one agency for you. So, I should leave before I'm caught."

B squeezed C's hands. "Who do you think you are?" B pulled him in, "Who did those things to you? Why do you think I'll let you go that easily?"

C sighed and used their current position to his advantage easily manipulating B into a gentle sleeper hold. "I was beaten, tortured and left for dead by the Whammy Agency." C gently kissed B's ear, "I couldn't complete a mission. No. I wouldn't. I wouldn't kill you. As payment for my defiance I was left for dead, Watari tried to warn them, he knew I lived. He saw me in Japan. My goal was to gather intel on L, and I watched him with his now husband. I gathered he was not a threat. I followed up on the other three from the Whammy house. I know more about them then they know of themselves."

Rain gently began to pat against the two. "C… I…" B stammered for words. C released him, "If your heart tells you to do something, who are you to question it?" B glared at him, "You've been abandoned and cast aside, I won't do that to you, please, use your skills with us. We could really use the help." B reached for C's hand, "Caspy…"

C shot up a cold glare, "Beyond… I can't. If I stay you'll all die." C turned to leave.

B ran after him, "Caspian!" B slammed into the back of C, his intense blue eyes flashed a brief moment of fear as they slipped off the sea wall into the harbor. C grabbed B and tucked him into his arms shielding him from harm. They rolled into the water and quickly resurfaced.

Caspian panickedly swam to the edge of the water where he could stand, "You idiot!" Beyond smiled distantly.

"Come home, Caspian. You just protected me with no thought to your own personal safety." B whispered.

C turned around and started climbing back up, "I can't."

B followed him back up the sea wall, "Not even for me?"

C growled, "Not for you, I can't return because of you." C sat on the edge of the wall as it began to rain harder. C looked at B's anklet, "You never answered me."

Beyond gently touched his imprisonment, "Insurance that I don't go AWOL. My punishment for my sins."

Caspian sighed, "What would they say now?"

Beyond smiled and pulled out his phone. "Watari… I ran into an old friend… Yes, he is. No, he hasn't changed…. Yes, Watari, he looks healthy enough… I will speak to you about that matter more privately, however, he has no room or board, and cramping three adults in one room was pain enough, think we could help him out? Thanks, yes, well… I need to stay near N and S and all times. Oh? Well if he will." B held the phone out towards C.

C gave B a stare that seemed to pierce his soul, "Watari? Affirmative. That was my original mission." A long pause and C looked at B softly, "Things got complicated, Sir." B blushed. "Reactivation?" C stood perfectly still and B looked up hopefully. "Understood." C ended the call and handed B his phone.

"Well?!" B grabbed C's soaking wet shirt. C leaned in just inches from B's lips, "Apparently I'm being reactivated. And my orders are to remain at your side." B blushed deeply leaning towards C as he just as slowly moved back keeping the distance between the same. B growled, "So infuriating! Fine, then we'll go back and get our room! Let's just go!" B grabbed C's hand and pulled him through the thick rain towards their hotel.
