L sat at his computer console as usual, his knees drawn up to his chest and his toes securing his precarious perch by curling tightly into the edge of the chair. Beside him was the tea service tray and the 7 o'clock piece of cake. Delicately he reached over and poured himself a cup of tea, added the usual diabetic coma inducing amount of sugar, clinked the spoon in it a few times, then lifted the porcelain and took a sip.
"Refreshing."
He then resumed staring at the monitors in a way most people found entirely too intense. Light breezed in then.
"Ohayoo gozaimasu," he mumbled, grumpy that he had to wait an hour for his latte. Who would have thought people lined up as early as 6 to get coffee? He set the paper cup down on the console and stretched in a yawn. "Any further devolopments in the case, Ryuuzaki?"
L's eyes slid slowly to the coffee cup. "Light-kun. We don't use disposable cups here." He raised his own cup over his head. "We are trying to leave no trace, so washable and reusable cups are best. Please get rid of that cup right away."
Light's eyebrow twitched. "You cant be serious!" He looked around at the other members of the Investigative Squad. They too raised glasses ranging from ceramic coffee mugs to portable plastic thermoses. He growled. "I just waited an HOUR for this coffee."
This caused no reaction from L as he simply lowered his cup to his lips and took a long slurp as if in spite. "Get rid of the cup now or die."
It was such an insane comment and completely unexpected so early in the morning that Light didn't have time to properly think through a witty reply. "You cant kill me! I'm KIRA!! HAHAHAH!!"
There was silence in the room for a moment before L spoke. "He admitted it freely and of his own will."
Light sputtered. "I was kidding-I-you-ARGH!" Picking up the coffee cup he tore the lid off and threw the hot contents onto L. Sadly, there was a very limited reaction of merely the word "Ow." He felt hands on him dragging him away. "L, you bastard!"
L looked down at his sodden clothing and chair as well as ruined cup of tea and cake.
"The possibility of you actually being KIRA is up to 75 now, Light-kun." Putting a finger to his lips he sniffed slightly. "My cake..."
