Perfect instability

A/n: I've had this in my head for a while, sorry I haven't been updating my stories I've been really out of it lately...just you know, life in general.

Beyond sighed and stared out the plane's window, his mother was moving their family from Winchester, the place Beyond had lived all his up until now. His half brother, Alfred Autumn , sat beside him and their mother sat beside him. Alfred was good looking, he had light brown hair and warm ember eyes, he was taller than Beyond and their mother. Beyond admired him for his wit and empathy, he was easy going and fun to be around. Their mother looked like Alfred but more feminine, she had long brown hair that cascaded down her back, bright green eyes that held love for her sons, and a willowy frame that looked delicate but firm. Beyond envied their natural beauty, he himself had wayward black hair and ghastly pale skin, his eyes were a rusty brown that looked red in certain lights. He was extremely thin and lanky, though his arms and legs were strong. In Alfred's and their mother's words, he was more athletic than lanky.

Beyond always shrugged them off, the only 'sport' he involved himself in was street fighting in the underground London circuit. He got paid and got to beat the crap out of drug addicts and dickheads, it was a win win situation for him. He heard quiet snoring and noticed that his older brother had fallen asleep, smiling slightly to himself he slipped the ear buds into his ears and being mindful of the others turned it low enough so that he could hear it but people wouldn't bitch at him for it.

He promptly fell asleep against the window while staring at the clouds and listening to his music. A hand had jostled him awake, the stewardess motioned for him to turn off his mp3 player as they were about to land, he did so without argument.

Faintly he noticed that the battery was almost completely drained and cursed quietly, earning a hard slap on the backside of his head.

"Beyond Birthday, don't you dare cuss in public!" His mom scolded, Beyond winced and murmured an apology.

"Pfft, listen to your mommy emo kid." Beyond's eye twitched, all the rich kids labeled him as an 'emo' which pissed him off, he didn't cut himself or anything or listen to the music they did. He didn't have a problem with them, in fact he was okay with their group, but he hated to be classified like some animal.

"Shut up, rich brat." Fucker. Man he hated those kids, they made his school life into a living hell, that's why he joined the London fight circuit. He imagined the faces of those rich fuckers on his opponents own ugly mug and beat the crap out of them.

"We will be landing at Tokyo International Airport in forty-five minutes so please be in your seats when we land. Thank you." Beyond sighed in relief, being in mere distance of this prick made him want to commit suicide, but that's what they want, isn't it? He asked himself, he was jarred out of his thoughts by the plane landing. His mother grabbed tight to Alfred and closed her eyes, she was deathly afraid of planes. It only went to show how devoted she was to moving away from Winchester.

Soon they were allowed to leave the plane and Beyond was somewhat happy that they weren't stranded on the plane like those horror storied he heard on the news, that would drive his mum insane.

His mother took her carry on and jabbed Alfred in the chest with her elbow, Alfred awoke wide-eyed but seeing his mother and brother he got up and grabbed his carry on and bags of acquired peanuts.

Beyond got up also but he didn't have a carry on, he sold the things he couldn't fit into his suitcase or pockets. He had the money to buy his stuff back anyway, which the only thing he was going to buy anyway was a new laptop. The rest would go to his mother in helping to pay for their new place. They walked out of the terminal and grabbed their suitcases. Beyond spied the rich brat talking to his parents and laughed, Alfred glanced at him curiously.

"What's that all about?" He whispered to his younger brother, Beyond shrugged and followed their mother out of the airport and into an awaiting cab. His mother had rented an apartment in the Kanto district of Tokyo, his school wasn't far away from his home either. Apparently it was an academy for genius children, but Beyond didn't want to think about it. It was going to be like his other school, he knew he was going to be labeled as a freak and some popular kid would mess with him, it was all the same obviously.

He settled in the middle of of his mother and brother in the cab, his mother was talking animatedly about the wonders of Tokyo and her new job. He didn't get why she wanted to move to Japan in the first place, America would have been a better choice seeing as they already knew English, Alfred and their mother weren't even Japanese. As far as Beyond knew he was half Japanese and half British, he didn't know if he was going to get crap for being half.

"Here we are boys!" She said cheerily and paid the cab driver in yen, Beyond preferred euros. They got out and grabbed their things and trudged up to the spacious apartment, Beyond's mum had enough money to buy a nice apartment since her family was wealthy.

"Take your things into your rooms and come down for dinner, okay?" They both nodded and walked down the hallway together.

"Beyond, don't let those idiots get to you." A commented, Beyond sighed, A never did get anything. That was the downside of his personality, he really couldn't see what was in front of him. After all, he still didn't know about Beyond sneaking away to London for the Friday Fight Nights for money. Beyond shrugged again and entered his room, shutting his door quietly and tossing his stuff on the bed that was placed there.

"He doesn't understand, I don't think he ever will. He's mister popular, the guy who has everyone wrapped around his finger. Who am I? The creepy loser. It will never change anyway." With that said he threw himself on his bed and buried his head in a pillow. Suddenly he heard a soft knock at the door but disregarded it, until the door opened. Alfred sat softly on his bed and began to rub the raven's hair. Said boy only kept his head further in the pillow, it was annoying to him that his brother would always be the best.

"I'm sorry if I said something wrong. It angers me that these people do terrible things to you." He sighed, Beyond's head shot up in anger. He hated being pitied.

"Why are you sorry? When people do terrible things to me you don't say jack shit! Besides, those are your friends telling me that shit! I saw how you laughed at me behind my back like I'm not your own fucking brother! So if you know what's fucking good for you then piss off and leave me alone!" Beyond yelled at him, by the middle of his speech he noticed hot trails of moisture sliding down his cheeks. Alfred looked at him shocked, B could see the beginnings of tears in his ember eyes and made him feel guilty.

"Is that how you feel...? I...I...Understand. Though Beyond, I'll always love you even if you hate me." A said quietly and went out the door to his room. Beyond narrowed his eyes, 'love' yeah right. Alfred had to love him because they're brothers.

"Whatever..." He growled and lowered his head once again and took a nap.

When he awoke the sunlight was streaming through the window, he supposed his nap had been longer than he anticipated. Grumbling he got up and took a shower, changing into a black shirt and black jeans. He tied up his red and black boots and slipping on a red hoody that had a British band's logo on it.

"Beyond, I'm going on a business meeting tomorrow so Alfred will be watching the house, okay? Breakfast is on the table. I'll see you tonight, I have to deal with some lasting paperwork. Bye sweetie!" His mum rambled and planted a kiss on his soft black hair. He nodded and padded to the kitchen for breakfast. He spied some bacon and a pancake and eat it with strawberry jam, Alfred's shoes weren't by the door so he guessed the brunette had already left. Sighing, he packed his lunch (which was a jar full of strawberry jam) and left for school.

He was happy for his half Japanese heritage and his intelligence, for after a few weeks of learning the Japanese language he had a somewhat full grasp on it. Using the signs that littered the side of the streets he walked to Kanto High school. He could feel the scrutinizing glares of his peers on his back, it angered him immensely but he kept his temper in check. Instead he slipped his ear buds into his ears and turned it up as loud as he wanted while waiting for the doors to open, no one dared to approach him and Beyond was happy for that.

Finally the doors opened and B turned off his ipod and entered the building, scowling at the rich kids milling around him. He went to the office and asked for his schedule, they handed it to him reluctantly and he was off to first period, which was science.

Once there he took a seat at the far back and pulled out three pieces of paper and began to work, he was almost done until a slender hand tapped him on the shoulder. He looked up and felt the air rush out of him. A man his age with messy black hair and ghost-like pale skin was staring at him unblinkingly . Beyond remembered that he was staring and quickly looked away in embarrassment.

"Y-yes?" He asked, did he just stutter? Fuck!

"We need partners for this project so I was hoping you could be mine. My usual partner decided to work with someone else." He enunciated clearly, Beyond swallowed but nodded.

"Of course." He answered with and the boy sat down, he pulled out a notebook and peered at his notes.

"Hm, it seems we need to construct a model of an atom and list the number of it's electrons, protons, and neutrons. Also we have to list it's atomic number and mass." He stated and B nodded.

"Do we pick one or...?" Beyond trailed off, cursing his lack of attention.

"He gave us the atom of hydrogen." He noted.

"Excuse me but I didn't get your name, mine's Beyond." Beyond introduced himself.

"L, just L." L said and began to work again. B shrugged and began to help him, in no time both boys were done.

"Hey, L...?" Said raven looked up from his notes and focused his eyes to his partner.

"Yes, Beyond?" B blushed when he heard his name come from his mouth.

"U-uh, do you want to eat lunch with me? It's okay if you don't but..." Beyond promptly shut his mouth and averted his eyes in humiliation.

"Okay, Beyond." L said and went to pack up his things.

"Uh okay!" Despite himself, B smiled at L. Suddenly a fist connected with the tabletop, jarring Beyond and L out of their thoughts.

"L, the bell has already rang." The brunette leering at them said icily. L's eyes changed and they became slightly hardened when he looked up at the brunette.

"Of course Light-kun, sorry for keeping you waiting." L apologized and got up, B found himself catching his wrist.

"L! Uh, are we still up for lunch?" He asked patheticly, he didn't like this Light guy and he didn't want L to go.

"Of course B, but I have to go to math now." L nodded and left with Light, said brunette was sending death glares at Beyond.

"What's his problem?" Beyond could only mutter.
