Rating: G

Summary: For the record, L can be pretty mean.

A/N: -cries- This is me.

"-correct, the Second Kira's response to our message will be aired in approximately five minutes," L said, chewing timidly on his thumb as he stared at the television in front of him.

Raito nodded to the rest of the Task Force standing behind L's armchair. "Right, so everyone pay close attention. There might be something either L or I miss so we need to work-"

"There's really about a 5 percent chance I'll miss anything," L mumbled.

Raito frowned, his work-together speech shot.

Aizawa rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay, turn up the volume now!" Matsuda cheered, leaning on the back of the chair which annoyed L to no end.

The Chief bent over and adjusted the volume just as the commercial changed to a picture of a little kitten with a bloodied nose.

In the arms of an Angel, fly awaaaaay…

Matsuda gasped suddenly and shut his eyes, running out of the hotel room and out into the hallway, the door slamming shut behind him.

"…"

Everyone looked around the room.

"What just happened?" Raito asked, quirking an eyebrow.

"Matsuda's being an idiot again."

"Haha, he stopped?"

"All right," L said with a heavy sigh and got up from his chair.

Raito blinked as L clumped across the carpet to the door. Aizawa called after him, "It's just Matsuda! Leave him out there or he might knock over the TV."

"Oh, L," Matsuda said as the detective came out into the hallway. Matsuda was sitting on the floor, Indian-style, twiddling his thumbs.

L seemed dissatisfied. "Why did you run out so suddenly?"

"… That commercial."

"The one with the high-pitched Christian music in the background?"

Matsuda blinked. Leave it to L to zero in on that. "Well yeah… see, I can't watch it or I'll cry, so…"

"Ah. I understand."

"Y-You do?"

"Yes. I cannot stand Christian music as well."

Matsuda whimpered, "That's not what I mean! All those sad kitties and puppies… they were abused! Abused, L! Didn't you see that kitten's nose?"

"Yes."

"… Anyway, I can't go back in until it's over. It's a really long commercial, too. How could they show things like that?"

"Hmm." L turned and opened the door about an inch, peeking inside. He turned back. "It's over, Matsuda."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Great! Let's get that Second Kira!" Matsuda was pumped once again, hopping up and walking over to the door with zeal. He ran in past L. A second later, Matsuda was running out, crying, "L, you're so mean!"

A/N: Yeah… that's like a five minute long commercial, I swear.
