Light sat at his computer typing as he heard the second car pull up and the doors shut. He sighed as he heard Beyond talking to the others.
"I'm going to go talk with Light for a minute, go ahead and choose a room, make yourselves at home… But not too at home, Light has everything set up a certain way in the center of the house." He nodded to the others and skipped up the steps and stopped in Light's doorway and knocked gently.
"What?" His voice was short and annoyed.
Beyond pushed the door open slightly, "Hey… Sorry to bug you, I just wanted to say thanks…" His voice trailed off distantly.
Light sat back in his computer chair and folded his arms, eyeing Beyond suspiciously. "And?"
Beyond shook his head and gave his best fake smile he could, "Nothing… That was it…"
Light turned in his chair staring at Beyond analytically, "You're a terrible liar."
Beyond looked up sadly, "You actually want to hear it? Normally you tell me to keep my mouth shut and leave personal matters out of it."
Light narrowed his eyes, "Say it before I change my mind."
Beyond walked in and sat on Light's bed and cupped his face in his hands, haunched over, "I should be happy, I should feel excited to see my family… Or anxious, or stressed… But." Light arched an eyebrow and squatted in front of Beyond and rested his hand on Beyond's knee. Beyond moved his hands and a solitary tear fell, "I can't feel anything… I forget how numb I've become… And I suppose I didn't care. Am I supposed to feel anything? What am I supposed to feel?"
Light averted his eyes, his partner never showed weakness to him, but his usual support system has been scattered throughout LA, "I don't know, Beyond. I'm not sure I've ever felt anything." His stare met Beyond's seriously. "Emotions are supposed to be normal. I guess."
Beyond looked down, "I must look so pathetic right now…"
"No." Light's answer was quicker than he had originally calculated.
"I want to feel something… Anything… Probably why I fill my holes with drugs and alcohol." He gently touched the ends of Light's bangs. "Thanks for talking to me, Light… I needed it."
Beyond stood up to leave and lingered his hand on Light's shoulder, squeezing it slightly. As he went to pull his hand away his wrist was caught, he looked down at Light whose position hadn't changed. "You're not the only one… You're not alone, Beyond." Beyond gave a wistful smile and nodded.
Beyond watched Light's hand and realized that he's trembling slightly. "Light? If you need to… You can talk to me."
Light snapped to, shaking his head slightly, he released Beyond's wrist. "Sorry. No thanks, talk has never helped me." He stood up and pulled his over shirt off and brushed past Beyond to hang it in his closet. As he turned around he was met with a set of scarlet eyes within very close proximity to his own.
Beyond gently wrapped his fingers around Light's shirt collar and leaned in closely, he could feel Beyond's breath on his lips. "We all have our moments."
Light stared into Beyond's eyes and brought his lips closer, "Sometimes those moments last for too long." They stared at each other for a moment, neither prepared to back down from the other. In a flash, Light released a deviously smile and grabbed the sides Beyond's head and pulled him into a deep kiss.
Taken by surprise, Beyond grabbed Light's wrists hard enough to bruise. They stumbled back onto Light's bed. Light broke the embrace and cocked an eyebrow as he stared into Beyond's equally menacing eyes. They stared at each other with murderous intent, a silent hush came over the room before neither could take the stand off any further, Light pulled his own shirt over his head as Beyond did the same, embracing once again, Beyond ran his nails down Light's back leaving a trail of deep red in their wake. Light separated their lips and gently bit at Beyond's neck causing him to release a breathless groan and crooking his neck to allow Light more access. He could feel Light's hands trail down to his shoulders and to the sides of his waist.
Beyond gave a soft moan and arched his back pushing his hips into Light's. Light bit down Beyond's neck causing him to whimper momentarily, while sucking on the soft skin of Beyond's neck he unzipped Beyond's zipper. Beyond worked the clasps of Light's pants, both men's breathing had become irregular, their movements rigid and fast. Light licked the ridge of Beyond's ear and whispered seductively, "This never happened."
Beyond smirked and yanked Light's pants and boxers down to his knees, "I don't even know what you're talking about." Light returned the smirk and leaned over to Beyond's lips, he winced expecting another rough passionate kiss, but received a soft embrace. Beyond's eyes fluttered shut and he tangled his fingers into Light's chestnut hair lost in his thoughts, "His lips are so soft, a lot softer than they looked, and his hair, although normally flawless, almost feels like silk."
Beyond pulled his lips away from Light and stared at him, "What the hell was that?"
Light smiled weakly, "I'm tired of feeling pain…" Beyond's expression softened and he leaned in a kissed Light softly.
Slowly moving his hands to Light's shoulders. "I understand." He stared at Light who gave him an enduring stare. Shifting his glance away, "Don't look at me like that."
Light brushed Beyond's bangs out of his face, "Why not?"
Beyond leaned his face against Light's hand, "I'm a mess who doesn't deserve a stare like that."
Light ran his thumb along Beyond's cheek, softly caressing it. "Maybe, but you're a beautiful mess."
Beyond blushed softly, "Stop that…"
Light leaned in closely and whispered on his lips, "No." Beyond closed the remaining gap between their lips and wrapped his arms around Light's shoulders helping him remove the rest of his clothing. Beyond shuddered at the contact of their skin. Light kissed him deeply as he ran his fingers along the shaft of his partner. Causing Beyond to moan deeply and arch his back, pressing his body against Light's.
