It was a rather quiet afternoon in the library. L had skipped most of his classes, thinking them to be a waste of time. Though, what he didn't realize was that an all-too familliar person was probably lurking nearby, Beyond Birthday. Whom L did not like in the least. Though, now that he thought about it, it had been a very long time since he had seen the child with the shinigami eyes. He wondered to himself how he was. Hopefully BB hadn't gone more crazy than he already had been when he left Wammys. A sigh escaped him and he opened the mystery novel, beginning to speed- read. L had many abilities, though, here, he had to be careful not to flaunt them.

Beyond Birthday had found his way to L through Watari, the old man who had raised them at Wammy's House. He was at the Academy for the soul purpose that L was there, too. It made sense to him that he would follow L's every move. He looked at L, from behind the bookcase. He went over to L, sitting on a chair, reading a mystery. Beyond cracked his neck and kept it at an awkward angle, looking ofer L's shoulder. He was virtually silent.
He took a tiny, noiseless breath, and with it, he used it to utter a few small words. "Hello, L." Of course, BB knew L's true name. He just preferred to use the alias L had been given. It was what everyone knew him by. And he knew it.

The dark-haired male barely glanced up from his book. He knew that voice all too well "BB..." He murmured "I go by Ryuga Hideki here..." His dark gaze narrowed slightly "...Such a fortunate thing to meet you again after all these years" He put down the book. "How is life treating you?" He inquired. Beyond Birthday..one of his hopeful successors, but, BB had a more...darker edge on life. L knew by now that BB could see people's lifespans and true names. "...L does not exist here" He murmured quietly "Only Ryuga Hideki." L had many Aliases, Ryuga Hideki being his favorite for some reason.
A's face...the blonde boy that had commited suicide, flashed into his mind momentarily. L quickly picked his book back up, and began reading where he left off, even after all these years....A's death still haunted him.

"Fine, but you will always be L. I don't care what other people call you. You're L." Beyond snaked around L, standing in front of him. He grabbed the book and slammed it shut, looking at L. "I've been looking for you. Doing nothing." he stated, throwing the book down. "Look, L, this is painfully polite. We both know we're better than that. Why don't we drop the lovely crap?"
"L exists where you are. You can't escape from it, as much as you want to." He looked at L, with a blank look on his face. He was probably remembering A.
B remembered him too. Hanging from the rafters at Wammy's House, like a dirty secret. That's what he was, a dirty secret. It's how they all were.

L stifled a sigh and frowned as BB slammed the book down. He quickly hid the pained expression on his face and looked at him in almost a bored way, but, for those who knew L well, they knew him better than anyone. "And why...would you be looking for me?" He asked, rather curious, but not allowing the tone to come out in his voice. Again...A flashed into his mind and he ran a hand through his hair. Damnit...since A's death, L had shut his emotions completely off, but, at the presence of someone that knew A, and knew L better than anyone, L's stifled emotions were threatening to come out. He took a deep breath and let it out. "I am not attempting to hide from whom I am..but I am undercover here..." he stated "Therefore an Alias needs to be present....Therefore..Hideki Ryuga..I would ask, that you do not call me L in public...There is much I am doing and it would risk everything"

"Isn't it obvious by now?" B sneered, looking at L with a determined glare. "I've been looking for you all this time because you're a life ruiner. A is dead because of you. I'm going a bit insane because of you, too." B's eyes brightened at L's pain. "A still hurts you, doesn't he?" In Beyond's mind, he had won that part of the conversation. He was proud. He'd beaten L, and probably could some more.
"Be realistic, L. You and I both know the only reason you use aliases at all is so you can be someone else for a little while. Well look, Lawliet, your little game of house is over, got it? Kira's not here. You lose." Beyond snickered. It was a lot like a game of house. And a thought came to B. He'd won again! It was easy to kick a man when he was down, and B took pride in his ability to make it hurt more.

Upon first appearances one would pass off Suoh Tamaki as a brainless idiot with far too much time on his hands, however to those whom took the time to get to know the wealthy blonde Suoh "heir" they would come to understand the motives behind the raw displays of emotion and impulses - Tamaki was actually very sensitive to others; so when he got the slightest whiff of distress in the air upon entering the Library (he was on a quest to find a HQ for his new sister Host Club at Chocolat') he was drawn to the dark scene playing out in an equally dark corner of the Library like the gallant white knight on a mission to rescue the //princess// in distress!
"Bonjour! Bonjour!" Tamaki greeted with far too much energy than should be legal for one individual alone.
He galloped up to the pair with a broad goofy smile plastered on his sheik creamy face and with little to no concept of personal space, the second year student tactically positioned himself boldly between L and Beyond Birthday, "I'm Suoh Tamaki, is an honour to meet you(collective)! Have you heard about the club I'm forming? Do you want to hear about it? Of course you do! - Who wouldn't?!"
[Heh. I hope it's alright to join, I really felt like raining on your drama parade, I couldn't resist. n___n / On another note, this question will be coming from Tamaki himself in my future posts. Anyone interested in joining Chocolat's Host Club? ;D . . . . We have - cake!] |

L glanced up at the blonde that had so boldly interrupted his and BB's discussion "I am not interested in hearing about a host club, thank you" He stated in his monotone voice. He had more important things on his mind than so-called fun. L stood and looked Tamaki in the eyes."..Why would I want to join something that sounds so positively ridiculous?" He inquired, his dark blue-black gaze narrowing slightly "It is a waste of time..and not something I would join voluntarily." He shook his head and sat back down in his odd way.
It would appear almost everyone around here are idiots.. L thought to himself.
(Tamaki..a hint for you..if you want L to join...mention sweets XD)

 | Not in the least put off by L blunt and not to mention harsh rejection of his charitable offer; Tamaki wasn't phased in the slightest and by the appearance of things, he seemed to have not have heard L's monotone negative response or had simply completely ignored the genius - in actual fact his rejection only seemed to encourage the Host Club founder, his smile only widening if that was even humanly possible!
Drawn to the first individual to react to him, Tamaki focused on L and invited himself to seat upon the desk so he was the centre of the dark haired, dark eyed detective, "As a member your job is to entertain the the lovely ladies of Chocolat' (our clients) - I know it sounds daunting my friend but do not fear, I see some natural talent in you (sadly your /friend/ might need quite some work to make the grade; such a disturbing and unnerving ripple in his eyes) ; I bet if you just smiled without so much as a complimentary Host Club 'make-over' you'd have half the lass' in the educational establishment dropping at your feet and that is why I extend this invitation."
Tamaki's pace of speech only increased with every sentence he spouted out, fuelled on by his own excitement.
"Ah I hear you ask what qualities does the job require? Well really, it's your unique qualities and abilities that sets you apart from the others - the potential you have cannot be ignored. And don't think being apart of the Host Club doesn't come with rewards, we have access to all the best clothes, fine dining, including, foreign cuisine the Host Club are renowned for having access to the world's best sweets (our resident Hunny-sama takes care of the imported and local sweet range), we grant you access to the all the best equipment money can buy, we also treat our members spontaneous holidays and the contacts you can make by being apart of the Host Club is also another plus; why for example our Ouran Host Club treasurer is incredibly influential in a range of different industries, Kyouya's family even have their own private special police force!."
If someone didn't stop Tamaki from talking he was simple going to continue on like this for the next . . . goodness knows how long! He always got so passionate when it came to his club and now he had a chance to nurture an extended family from the original!
It was simply thrilling to all the senses! |

Irritance ran through L's veins like hot fire. This blonde male was annoying the intelligent detective. His wide, dark eyes looked at Tamaki as though he were an idiot. Shifting slightly in the seat he was in, he tensed his stature though, as the half-japanese male rambled on.
What will it take for him to leave me alone/? L thought to himself, and inspected the blonde critically. At the mention of a natural talent, the male gave a snort in disdain. Ugh, How he hated it when people rambled on. The mention of sweets, however caught L's attention. L was a sucker for anything sweet. Candies, cakes, whatever. His dark gaze locked onto Tamaki's and he frowned thoughtfully.
"Sweets you say?" He inquired, unable to hide the interest in his voice. "...Do go on...as much as I can observe you wish to...." He watched his movements. This blonde man in front of him was very intelligent, he could see that much. And very passionate about this club. "However....I will not allow a makeover..."He stated rather sternly "...I may or may not join, depending if you can make me wish to join.." He was testing Tamaki...seeing how far he would go in order to get L to join, and, so far, L was not convinced in the least.

BB froze as a blonde boy walked in. A?!? B's mind flashed the picture of his best and only friend, the picture of that best and only friend swaying ever so slightly in the breeze from the open window. Beyond spun on his heel and cocked his head to look at the blonde. Not... A... Beyond's composure snapped right back into place. Watching L and him interact, Beyond chose to make himself noticed. He twisted his neck in a fashion that was near inhuman, the soft cracks resounding in the room. He kept his neck turned, looking at the boy.
"Tah-mah-key Sew-oh! T-a-m-a-k-i, space, S-u-o-h! Tamaki Suoh!" Beyond Birthday cried, grinning like a skeleton and saying Tamaki's name as if BB were possessed. "Did you say... sweets?" Beyond was never one to be... too worried about people's personal space. B slid up to Tamaki in a snake-like fashion and stuck his face right in front of his. "Does that include... strawberry jam?!?"
{OOC: Ic me was like, "JAM?!" and ooc/ic me was like, "CAKE CAKE YES!" I was thinking of making Hunny come in, but Beyond might eat him, so... ^-^"}

"Well I really cannot myself go into great detail about it because my little sweet specialist is usually one making these sorts of sales pitch, but I WILL DO MY BEST!" Tamaki modestly stated a little loudly causing them to be glared at by the librarian and even "shushed", however the blonde rich pretty boy didn't care or maybe he never notice as he continued, "We have unlimited of stock of every kind of speciality candies, cakes, pastries and pretty much everything of the best that contains high sugar count. But not only do we have a wide selection of rare imports we access to the very best chefs specialising in cookry in the field, so fresh is always an option! And now thanks to Haruhi we stocking a rather impressive range of commoner sweets too."
"The King" smiled proudly as informed the pair of the awesome perks of being apart of the host club.
When Beyond Birthday addressed Tamaki in the disturbingly odd manner even the Host Club founder was made uncomfortable and he took refuge behind L, the dark haired detective taking place of Kyouya's position "mommy & protector" for the moment, "Jam? Well yes, of course we have the finest Jam, my family have their own personal blend using our own private fruit and berry produce from our farms in Holand and producing a classified sacred recipe that has been in the Suoh family for generations, they only people able to obtain the Suoh Jam are members of the family and Host Club members and clients when I buy out in bulk for our weekly afternoon tea of scorns, jam and cream with tea."
Giving a nervous little laugh, Tamaki wiped his brow eyeing BB, "You know, maybe you should consider talking to the Black Magic Club founder back at Ouran Academy I think you and Nekozawa would get along quite well . . they are always looking for members." |  |

(xD Tamaki, your post made me giggle)
Rather surprised at the fact that the blonde was now hiding behind him, L shifted a little, looking over his shoulder, then back at BB. Of course, Tamaki's reaction to Beyond was to be expected. Even though L was usually calm and quiet, Beyond made him uncomfortable with the inhuman way he moved his body. Although L was irritated by Tamaki at the current moment, the sweets got to him, and he sighed a tiny bit, looking over his shoulder, his dark gaze searched Tamaki's for a moment. This man was sincere about him joining.
I suppose it would not be a problem... L thought to himself and he allowed his features to remain expressionless as he spoke to the blonde. "I will join..but if I am not in the mood to socialize you will not force me to do so, is this understood?" L asked. "I pride myself in being someone that is unlike any other..hence, a loner, you could say." He stood, in his slightly bent-over way and turned, he wore no shoes of course, preferring to be barefoot inside, that was one of the few rules he decided to break by not completely wearing the uniform. His loose white long-sleeved shirt peeked out from under the cuffs and from the bottom of the coat part of the uniform. He didn't wear the tie, disliking them. The pants he was supposed to be wearing were replaced by his old faded jeans. At least he was wearing part of the uniform, however he felt it unneccasary to wear anything more than the coat.

 | When L gave his verbal approval that he would join his beloved Host Club his expressed his delight without shame almost earning himself a ejection from the library: "Of course, of course! Kyouya our treasurer back at Ouran only on occasion entertains the ladies, he isn't much a talker himself, but in his own way he is invaluable not only does attract clients by his enigmatic persona but he is essential to organising the funds for our Club. He is really quite a brilliant business man for his age," Tamaki said grinning like a Cheshire cat that had eaten the Dore Mouse, "Everyone is looking forward to meeting you so lets not keep everyone wait, hai?" Linking arms with L, ignoring the poor boy's personal space, he tugged excitedly like an child that could not hold his anticipation for much longer. Tamaki paused for a moment as if just recalling BB was in the vicinity, digging into his uniform pocket he produced a little business card, it was in the shape of a cat puppet, "You should call Nekozawa! I bet you two would become fast friends! - Tell him I "Tamaki Suoh" referred you!" |

Perhaps BB was OK with having a blonde come in, tell him he had jam, and then taking L away from him.
Maybe he was even OK with being told that he looked dark enough to be in a dark magic club.
But there was one thing you never did if you wanted to live to see your next birthday, and that was hint to BB that he was weird. I mean, of course it was true, BB made it his basic job to be weird. That it didn't mean it didn't offend him. It was like telling an ant it's inside out, when to the ant, you're inside out. BB snatched the card away from Tamaki and ripped it in two.
"That Host Club of yours... If L's in, I'm in." Beyond said, ripping the card yet again. "But don't think I'm in just because I like people, ask L, I hate people. I'm in it for the jam." B nearly swooned at the thought of expensive jam vs. the crappy Smuckers jam packets they stole off the table at diners when he was in Wammy's. Then he remembered that L was on a case, and needed to hide his identity. BB shrugged. Too late now, he thought to himself.
