Summary: The document piles in the science department are getting big enough to be a threat to the workers' safety, and everyone but Allen know the cause.

Sleep troubles
Four years after he first stepped into the Black Order's Headquarters and four months after he finally got together with Linalee, Allen Walker, for the first time in his life, was glared at by the scientists of the organization.
At first he was surprised. Then he felt guilty. And finally, two months after the first glare, the young exorcist felt annoyed. He didn't know what he must have done, but he felt he deserved to be told, at least so he would be able to apologize. But none of the glarers were forthcoming with the information.
The worst thing, in Allen's opinion, was, that even the work in the science department was getting done much slower than before. Feeling he couldn't just watch the document piles get any bigger, the white-haired man finally asked, starting from the question which seemed the least dangerous.
"Why are the document piles ten times bigger than they used to be, normally?" he inquired River, who was walking by him.
"Because Komui-san is sleeping." the man answered, in a voice so full of annoyance that Allen almost stepped back from him.
"Then… why don't you wake him?" he asked the obvious question.
"Well, Allen-kun" the normally cheery scientist glared at the younger man "Why don't YOU try to wake him, mm?"
With that, the man walked on, leaving the exorcist staring dumbfounded at his retreating back. After a few minutes of thought, however, he turned towards the purple haired man's office… if it could still be called that.
The only space that wasn't filled with papers (completely) was a narrow path towards the desk, behind which the chief, just as River said, slept soundly. Allen had walked the path a couple of times before, but these times the chief was awake, ready to give him another mission.
The exorcist walked without trying to be silent, since he did intend to wake the older man anyway. However no matter how much noise he made, the man still slept. Shaking him did not give any results, and talking seemed futile. Sighting, Allen tried a method that always gave results before:
"Komui-san, Linalee is getting married"
To the exorcist's surprise, the sleeping man did not jump awake as he always did in the. Instead he just murmured in his sleep:
"Finally, Allen-kun… About time, too…"
Later, there would be legends created, about just HOW red Allen was, when he hurriedly escaped back to his room.
