"Kuroba?"

"Yes, Hakuba?" The dark haired boy looked up from his school desk at the taller blond, who was looking torn between frazzled around the edges and distantly amused. Very distantly amused.

"You wouldn't happen to know anything about a change in the Task Force's coffee, would you?"

"Why Hakuba." Kuroba radiated such innocence it would make angels bawl. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"So you have no clue how the coffee somehow got switched to decaffeinated for the past two weeks?"

"Nope."

"And then miraculous filled with double espresso last night?"

"Not a clue."

The detective stared down into huge guileless violet eyes. "Right." He deadpanned before turning to leave. "Just stay away from my Earl Grey or I'll let YOU be the one to deal with the entire Task Force running around like two year olds on speed."

Kuroba had at least the decency to allow him to return to his seat before snickering.

Do not actually recommend this, by the way. Co-workers on caffeine withdrawals is Very scary. Not that we've experianced it or anything.. ^^;;
