A/N: This is an old story that I found while going through my high school notebooks (while trying to avoid my homework). If I recall correctly this was inspired by Joe and George going on a mattress shopping adventure!
Reever had just about had it! After only a month he was sick and tired of Komui's bed. It was a lumpy cramped little thing, and his own bed wasn't much better. Until recently, Komui hadn't had much use for a bed, he rarely slept in one. Even now he didn't mind it, he could fall asleep anywhere. Plus, the bed was big enough for two, if you didn't mind sleeping practically on top of each other. He definitely didn't mind.
Reever on the other hand was a pretty light sleeper (when he wasn't dying from exhaustion). Now that Komui was demanding that they sleep together for least a few hours every night, he was getting more rest than ever, which would have been great if the bed wasn't out to get him. The hard mattress was killing his back and as much as he was fond of cuddling, there just wasn't enough space. Also, Komui was prone to bouts of 'sleep flailing' and while he found it rather cute, Reever wished he could just roll over to avoid impact rather than having to jump up or risk getting pushed off and falling onto the cold stone floor.
Finally, it got to be too much. Komui was actually current on his work and thus had tons of free time. He was even pitching in with all of the science department's work (until of course he got wrapped up in experiments and got behind on paperwork again, and then he'd catch up to please Reever and the cycle would repeat). For the time being they were getting about five or six hours of sleep, almost like they were actual human beings. The downside was that Komui had been 'sleep flailing' quite a lot lately.
Faced with the prospect of spending another night sleeping on the damnable thing, Reever instead decided to lock himself into a lab and work on experiments all night long ignoring Komui's whiney pleas for him to come to bed. Komui spent the next day following him around with sad puppy dog eyes, wondering why the blonde was mad at him. It broke Reever's heart.
The next day, under the pretext of spring-cleaning Reever set the mattress outside in an effort to air it out. A few hours later a funny thing happened. The latest Komurin went crazy 'unexpectedly' and 'accidentally' happened to destroy the evil abomination better known as Komui's mattress. Reever feigned his surprise well and was thankful that no one remembered he had been studying up in robotics (to help take out the supervisor's 'babies').
While Komui was unconscious from his beloved sister's swift kick to the head, Reever went into town, bought a new, bigger mattress, and brought it home.
Komui had to concede that it was very comfortable and more importantly it made it even easier to get the blonde in bed with him so he whole heartedly approved.
As for the new mattress, the poor thing would be traumatized for the rest of its days.
