Ch.7 Russian Roulette


This routine of theirs carried on without anyone knowing for a year. Beyond would get into some kind of trouble but never as bad as before. He would sneak into A's room every night and sleep with him after they "Played." Beyond wouldn't call it games any more but he never really called it anything else.

L was pissed. He had caught B sneaking out of his room one night as he walked back to his own room after a midnight kitchen run. He followed the boy and watched him as he entered A's room. He watched from the crack left by B not shutting the door all the way. Every moan and touch grated on his nerves. He ran back to his room plotting.

Beyond was in the music room with A playing together. They were practicing for a recital that the other 23 kids would play in for Watari, Roger, and L.

"A please report to L office," called the voice over the intercom.

A frowned not wanting to go.

"It's okay A. You go a head and I'll see you tonight." B kissed his lips as he placed the violin down.

A smiled warmly at him. "Okay, I love you." He said as he kissed him back and got up, closing the lid to the piano.

"I love you too." He watched the other leave before sitting on the floor and stretching.

A entered L's office nervously, and sat down in the chair. L narrowed his eyes menacingly at him. "Alternate whore." He greeted.

A's widen in shock.

"You have kitchen duty. I saw you last night. What did I tell you?" He hissed at him.

"Better yet, you want to be #1 don’t you?" He asked with a smirk.

"Y-Yes." A answered.

"I’m increasing your workload. I will send you a list of assignments and I will give you more lessons and ones on weekends. You will have increased advanced piano lessons and will have a piano solo at the end of the yr. I will not tolerate lateness or skipped lessons. If that happens, you are bumped down and out of the running. I will personally see to everything you turn in." He smiled wickedly. "If you can keep up, I'll name you my heir."

A nodded, "Yes."

"You’re dismissed."

A fled out of the office, tears in his eyes, as he ran back to the music room. Outside he calmed himself and wiped his face and entered. Beyond looked up at him as he entered, he hid something behind his back and just smiled. The smile fell when he saw A's eyes. "What happened?"

"Nothing." he said smiling. "He just wanted to give me a few more lessons since I’m the top of the class. Perfect grades since I've been here."

"He said something to you." The dark haired boy looked up and blinked at the numbers above A's head. They shifted but soon stopped at the same numbers as before he left. What did that mean? He looked back at A's eyes. "L is a wicked person. I'll make it better."

"It’s okay, really. If I can get through all my lessons, I'll become the next L." He said excitedly, smiling. He looked at him. "What are you hiding?" He asked curiously.

He would be L? But what would that make B? He shook the thoughts from his mind as he pulled out a glass-beaded bracelet. The beads were crimson and blue colors.

"That’s pretty!" He said looking at it. "Why would you hide that?" He asked confused.

"It's not done... I want to give it to the greatest boy in this place for his birthday. Maybe you know him? He is tall, blond, blue eyed and I love him more and more each day."

A blushed, "Um, I don’t know. But who ever he is very lucky to have such a sweet boyfriend." He smiled warmly at him.

"Boyfriend?" B tilted his head and grinned happily. "If I was a sweet boyfriend then I would know when he was born."

"August 19, 1979 is my birthday." He said with a grin. "Is it alright to call you my boyfriend?" He asked worried.

"Yes you can call me anything you want," he said with a smile. It was against the rule to tell others about your self. You couldn't let anyone know where you were from, your name or age or anything about yourself. But B and A broke those rules constantly. "I don't know when I was born. That man and woman never told me nor celebrated my birth."


"Well pick a day and we will celebrate it as your birthday." A said with a smile, leaning over and kissing him on the cheek.

"How about we share?"

"Okay. I turn 16 this year." He said happily, as he sat down next to B just as roger came in with a huge stack of papers.

"Your assignments from L. He wants them done in 2 days time." He set the papers down on the table and walked out.

A got up and walked over looking at the instruction page. Ten essays and four research papers in two days?!

Beyond looked at the papers and frowned. "Why would he do this?"

"He's testing to see if I can be L." He said with a smile. He looked at the clock. "I’m going to go head to the library to get started, I see you tonight." He smiled and kissed him sweetly. "The bracelet is beautiful; I can’t wait to wear it." He said placing a hand on the raven-haired boy's cheek. B kissed him back and clutched the bracelet close. "I love you. I know you can do it A"

He smiled and grabbed the stack of papers, heading off to the library. Beyond grew very concerned and once A was gone, he went to see L.

L opened the door to his bedroom, a crack to see who it was. Seeing whom it was he moved aside and let B in.

"And what do I owe this pleasure to?" He said smirking.

Beyond walked in and looked at L. "Why?"

"Why what?" he asked confused as he shut the door and walked over to the fireplace where he was having afternoon tea sitting back down.

"Why are you doing this to A? He's the top student."

"Yes he is. He has a perfect score. He would make an excellent L. I’m just testing him to see if he can handle it. If he can’t then He will go back to his regular lessons and I wait till he's ready to try again." L said as he sipped his tea. Beyond just stared at him. He grated his teeth and bit his lip. L... A always wanted to become L... Everyone did, even him. However, the flickering of the numbers made him worry.

"Is something else bothering you?" He asked as he looked up at B. "Why don’t you join me for tea, take your mind off things." He said taking another cup off the tray and sitting it down, placing hot water and a tea bag in it. He shook his head. How could he tell L what he saw? He would sound crazy!

"I didn’t do anything to it." He said as he patted to cushion next to him. "Come on. Sit. Relax. It's Saturday." L smiled up at him.

He walked over to the chair and climbed in sitting exactly like L.

L smirked and fixed him a cup of tea. He sipped his tea and just stared at the boy for a bit. B copied his movements and made his tea just like the other boy. He picked it up drinking it. "I worry about A..."

"You shouldn’t. He's fine." L said dismissively. "How are your classes going?"

"Fine, I am second in everything."

L nodded. He sat there as if he was trying to think of something to talk about. "So what would you like to do today? I wish to spend more time with you." He said smiling over the brim of his teacup.

"I'm not good at much. A is the one who comes up with the games."


"I bet that isn’t true. I bet your real good at games. Would you like to play a game with me?" L asked smirking.

"What game?"

L turned in his crouch and leaned over him till their faces were mere inches apart. "One of your games," He purred with a smile.

"A says those games are only played with someone you care about or love."

"I care about you. I kept you from Roger's wrath plenty of times. I wouldn’t have done that if I didn’t care." He said leaning closer. B leaned away as best he could. "But you aren't A..."

"Is that a problem? Just because I'm not A doesn’t mean I care less or want you less. Because I do care and I do want you." He said inching closer.

The closeness bothered him so much Beyond jerked his hand up to push L away. His hand knocked the tea out of L's hand and the cup landed on B's black hair. He cried out as the hot goo slid down his face.

L reacted almost instantly and mopped the goo from his face and hair. "I’m sorry, would like to take a shower, the bathroom is that way. I can let you borrow some clothes." He said as he tried to calm B down. "Are you okay? You’re not burned or anything are you?" He asked concerned.

B ran his hands over his face but shook his head. "No I'm not hurt." His eyes were closed to keep that stuff out and when he moved his hair from his forehead a scar could be seen running across near his hairline.

L looked him over. "It will feel better once you wash it off then." He said frowning at the scar. "Where did you get that scar?" He asked concerned hoping it wasn’t from the tea. He picked up B, carried him to the bathroom, and washed his face gently so he could open his eyes.

Beyond let out a yelp as he was carried to the bathroom. He didn't like being blind. When the stuff was away from his eyes he opened them blinking. "What scar?"

L stepped to the side, gently pulling back his hair and looking at the mirror. "This one."

B's eyes went straight to the names and numbers first. He saw L's name and his own but only L's numbers. He wondered about that sometimes. Why everyone else had them and not him? Then his eyes went to the scar. "That man hit me with a vodka bottle before he died."

L nodded, tucking the locks behind B's ear. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on the scar. He smiled licking his lips. B still tasted like sugar. "Let me get you some clothes and a towel." He disappeared for a moment and came back with a towel, washcloth, a long sleeve black shirt and a pair of faded jeans.

When he came back, B was pulling off his pants. He stood in only his boxers before those too were pulled off and he moved to the shower turning it on. His skin was a healthy sun kissed color with small marks here and there. There were scars on his wrist, thighs, hips, and ankles.

L stood there in the doorway for a moment just staring, speechless and mouth dry. He couldn’t help feeling slightly turned on at the sight, being a hormonal 16 yr old and all. The younger boy walked under the searing hot water leaving the door open and letting it run over his body. His eyes closed but he spoke calmly. "You stare at me a lot."

L blinked a couple of times before walking over and sitting the items on the toilet. He handed the wash cloth to B. "Does it bother you?" He asked a bit curious.

"No." He took the cloth and moved to wash his body. "I'm use to having someone watch me." He looked over at the other with dark eyes.

"You interest me, so I stare at you. Not to mention you are attractive." He paused and shifted a bit uncomfortably as his arousal grew. "Shall I give you some privacy?" He asked smiling at the boy.

"It's your bathroom. You can do what you want." He looked over at the other and blinked. "Do you want me to shut the door? I was told to bath with it open."

L raised an eyebrow. "That’s odd." He said turning to go. "I'll be by the fireplace when you get finished. Take all the time you want." He then walked out shutting the door.

The younger of the two paid no mind as he cleaned himself up and then turned off the water. He dried off and then got dressed before walking out. L was crouched in front of the fireplace, pointing at the flames with an iron poker. B walked over and took a seat at his feet. "Did what I say bother you?"

He put the poker back in its holder and turned looking at him confused. "I don’t remember you saying anything that bothers me." He muttered, as he walked back to the couch and climbed up crouching. Beyond stood and followed him to the couch. He climbed up sitting just like L. "You left quickly I thought I said something wrong."

"You were in the shower. I wanted to give you privacy. Unless of course you didn’t want me to leave." He said smirking

"I told you I didn't care. I'm use to someone watching me."

"I know, but I wouldn’t want to watch you unless you wanted me to. You have an amazing build. It'd hard to look away." He smiled at the raven-haired boy.

"Yeah? And I'm only 12."

L smirked. "I can only imagine how you would look when you get older." He paused. "You never did answer my question."

"Which was?"

"Can I play one of your games with you?"

He looked at L with his head tilted to the side. B never did meet anyone's gaze but A's. He just felt more comfortable staring at the name than the person. "Why me?"

"Why do you keeping asking me that? I have already explained it." He said with a bit of annoyance.

"Those are not suitable answers. They make it seem like I'm no better than a toy to you."

"You’re not a toy." He said looking at him questioningly. "My answers are suitable and logical." He said confused. What didn’t B understand about it? It seem very blunt to L.

"I'm interesting to you, I am not like others." He uncurled from his seat and stood up turning and looking at him with his head tilted to the left side. "Maybe I just think you can't handle me." He smirked at the other as he turned to leave. "I was told to never play the bedroom games or else I would be punished. Roger and Mr. Wammy would be upset if little L wasn't as pure as they thought." He left L alone in the room and went to his study session.

L growled and got up, flipping the coffee table in his rage.
