Summary: In the midst of the war, it isn't sex they're looking for, but someone to make them feel human again, someone to lay with and forget what's going on in the world.

A little drabble I did for DGM kink meme, and a surprise pairing. Hint – it's very, very rare.

Strange how quiet it is. Any normal night would be noisier.

Laughs silently.

But then again, any normal night we don't have the luxury of a decent sleep, being nerds of scientific department. I wonder what Johnny is doing. Probably thinking, dwelling on the past. Or maybe sleeping.

Do I feel sad having to move to the new Headquarters in the morning? – No. Yes. Maybe. So many things happened here, some of them good.

Hugs tighter the warm body pressed beside

But now even my room is so empty...

Supervisor probably has a lot of troubles moving. What will he do with all his robots? I mustn't forget to check all the potions and other dangerous stuff we hid from him. Or wait for another disaster.

Disaster...

Shivers slightly.

That nightmare of Level 4. To think Earl could produce more... Stop. Don't think about it.

But still, we are so helpless sometimes. Especially us, scientists, and finders too. What good can we do? There's of course the matter of that new suit for exorcists. And my personal karma of supervising the supervisor, but what else am I good for?

Tossing restlesslyabout moves the other person. Abruptly stops.

Well, maybe I am good for something else.

But look at you, you appear so young right now, almost makes me feel like a child molester.

All of you – our exorcists, our hope in this war – are still too young. You shouldn't be involved in this war, should be enjoying your youth.

Sigh.

No, you are not a child, fortunately or not.

Smiles. Wraps now both hands around the other's back.

Now really, look at you, so calm – you have no idea how adorable you look. Lying here right now, that gives me a strange feeling... As if there is no Akuma, no war, no innocence. Just us, normal humans.

Caresses the head lightly.

The other steers, blinks, unfocused sleepy gaze taking in the surrounding.

"Reever, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, go to sleep."

Kissing the other's forehead, smiles, settles down and goes to sleep as well.

Any ideas about the pairing? You actually could imagine anyone you want, though I wrote it having one specific character in mind. I'll give you another hint, this time with subtlety of a brick wall – darkithil. deviantart. com/art/Musings-at-midnight-94387718 – something I did (first there was a picture, then was the story, as usual).
