The skyscraper wasn't an active place on weekend mornings. Business was often slow except for the odd case or investigation to do. L busied himself on the computer and eating powdered doughnuts, Light shifted through old files he'd dug up, and Matsuda was goofing around with a house of cards.

"This is the tallest I've ever got it! I wonder if I could make it touch the ceiling!? That would have to be a record of some kind." Matsuda said as he opened another pack of cards and climbed on the couch to add more to the card tower. "I knew spending $50 on cards was a good investment."

While Matsuda was clamoring over his card tower, Light was just draining his cup of coffee. I need more coffee...but I don't feel like getting up to get anymore. Why's the coffee maker so far away? Light thought heavily. Hmm... "Hey Matsuda! Get me another cup of coffee, would ya?" Light called.

The sudden noise startled Matsuda and his card tower wobbled. "Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall!" Matsuda pleaded as he tried to steady the tower. When it was finally steadied he looked over at Light. "Another cup of coffee? Seriously, couldn't you get it yourself? And don't yell, it'll topple."

Light straightened up in his chair and cleared his throat. "NO. I'm busy with something too, so you go get me coffee. Understand?" Light said impatiently as he held the cup out to Matsuda. "Come on, it's not going to float over there, now is it?"

Grumbling, Matsuda stalked over to the waiting cup, took it, then went inside the kitchen to make more coffee. He added the cinnamon creamer that Light always used. A few minutes later he returned and handed the cup to Light. He was about to continue with his card tower when L spoke up.

"You wouldn't mind getting me a cup of coffee too, would you? Geniuses need caffeine." L asked as he held up his empty coffee mug and shook it. "Oh and another pack of powdered doughnuts, this pack's empty now."

Matsuda paused in his card building and said, "But I was-"

"Coffee Matsuda, thank you." L said without waiting for Matsuda to finish his sentence. "And the doughnuts."

So once again Matsuda got down from the couch, put down the cards, and went to go make L his coffee. When he came back with the doughnuts and coffee, Light had a complaint about his coffee. "In fact I change my mind. Matsuda, I rather have my coffee black. Go make it again."

"Uh, wha-?" Matsuda asked but what he was thinking was: Really? REALLY? Why didn't you say that the FIRST time! Instead of saying that he quietly took Light's cup and started for the kitchen. Then L spoke up again.

"Oh Matsuda, get the sugar cubes for me. You didn't put enough in my coffee. Sweet tooth, remember?" L called after Matsuda before he went in to the kitchen.

"Yeah, sure whatever." Matsuda said blandly walking for the kitchen. While fixing Light's coffee over again he thought: Why is everyone so picky today? I thought Light liked cinnamon creamer, turns out he likes his coffee black...like his damn soul...if he has one. He could've told me that sooner.

After preparing the coffee Matsuda went to the pantry to take out another bag of sugar cubes. And L. I know he's smarter than me, but he's a lazy genius. Plus, I could've sworn I put enough sugar cubes in his coffee. At least 10 of them! How much more could he need!?

Steadily Matsuda made his way back out into the lounge. He went and plopped Light's new cup of coffee on the table beside him and set the sugar cubes next to the computer monitor in front of L. Then he stood in front of the two and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited still.

Finally he let out a tired sigh and turned around to his card tower. And they don't even give me a thank you. I practically had to grow arms to make them their stuff. What are they, immune to feelings?

"I forgot to tell you something Matsuda." Light said from above the rim of his coffee cup.

Hurriedly Matsuda turned around. Thank you? Is he going to say 'Thank you'? He DOES have a heart! He stopped and waited patiently for Light to continue.

Light smiled the most pleasant smile he could muster. "You know, I don't feel like hot coffee today anyways. Run down to the store on the corner and pick up some ice coffee. Chop, chop, I don't have all day."

Light's command was interrupted by L tossing the bag of doughnuts into the trash. Matsuda watched it explode in a white dust cloud in the trash bin. "Ick, they were stale. While you're at the store you could pick up another bag, Matsuda." L said turning back to the computer monitor.

Crestfallen and moral crushed, the only thing Matsuda could do was stare at L and Light. What's wrong with these two!? Do their legs not work for themselves? Or are they just lazy ass geniuses?

"Don't stand there Matsuda. Coffee, remember?" Light said impatiently.

"I am in need of doughnuts now." L stated simply.

Letting out a loud, frustrated sigh Matsuda marched out the door slamming it on the way out. And the card tower fell. Ugh, why couldn't I say no?! Am I crazy!?
