A/N: This fic will consist of three chapters (there is a companion fic called "Kanda Sucks at Poker" which is a Yullen take on the events, but they are largely independent. If Yullen isn't your thing don't worry all the KomuixReever goodness is right here. However, if you like/ don't mind Yullen, I recommend you read that story as well, to get the bigger picture.)

(Special thanks to my beta Mikatsuki-no-Arashi for her supreme awesomeness. I'll re-upload this after she gets a chance to edit it)

Disclaimer: I don't own DGM, if I did well…. KomuixReever would be cannon, there'd be Yullen strip poker, Leverrier would die a horrific and painful death, and the science department would get more screen time.

Komui was fucking gone…again. Reever wasn't at all surprised but he was pissed. The supervisor was tap-dancing on his last nerve.

*****

Somewhere on the other side of the castle, Komui shuddered. His Reever senses were tingling.

Trouble was, by now Reever had discovered all his hiding places. It was time to find a new one. Hmm… he couldn't hide in the last place the blonde would look, because that would become the first place; but Reever was immune to Komui's double reverse psychology, so the first place he'd look was no good either.

Wait! If he was following that logic, the last place he'd be hiding was on one of the mostly deserted floors, meaning that Ree had probably checked them already.

He went down to one of the abandoned floors, all the while keeping an eye out for homicidal Aussies.

Komui chose a random door and knocked (he didn't want to interrupt a random couple again, that had been awkward).

"Yes?"

Komui furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, what was Allen doing down here so late? (Luckily, Lenalee was on a mission so Allen didn't need to worry about being murdered just yet)He slowly opened the door.

*****

Reever was checking the kitchen when he heard Kanda yelling. Ah, if only the science department could invent Prozac (they probably could, but could they get Kanda to take it? Methinks not.) Ugh, He could feel the beginnings of a stress headache building behind his eyes. Screw Kanda, he needed the Prozac.

Bitching wouldn't solve anything. He decided to check Komui's experiment rooms again… nothing (Luckily he never had to enter them, his intuition told him whether they were occupied or not). He slumped against the wall in defeat.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration hit him, '5th floor, 3rd hallway, 12th door to the left!' He had no earthly idea how he'd come up with that, but when it came to Komui he had a 6th sense.

He jumped up and ran the whole way. He had to get there before Komui escaped.

*****

"So Allen, what are you up to?" Komui asked suspiciously.

"Uh, I'm going to play poker with Lavi?"

"Oh, okay!" he brightened up instantly, now that he was sure it didn't involve his precious sister, "Mind if I join you?"

"I don't see why not."

"Eeeexxxxxcelent."

*****

A few seconds later, Lavi came into the room, followed by a grumbling Kanda.

"Hiding from Reever again?" Lavi asked with a knowing smile.

Komui nodded solemnly.

The redhead rolled his eyes, "He's going to find you eventually. "

Allen agreed wholeheartedly. "He always does. Section leader Reever is good at that."

Just then, the door crashed open and a flushed and panting Reever stood in the doorway glaring daggers at Komui (fuck daggers, Reever was glaring swords).

******

Komui gulped. Reever looked really good all sweaty and rumpled (well more so than usual), and the erratic breathing… good lord!

And he'd caused it! Komui bit his lip, holding back a little groan, when he noticed the glare that the blonde was giving him. Normally it would have been frightening but with his face all flushed and his eyes half lidded, it was just sexy as hell.

******

"Ah! Section leader come play poker with us!" Lavi cheered.

"Yeah, Reever come play!" Komui added (he should have been scared, but he was genuinely happy to see him).

Reever was too exhausted to argue. "Fine one hand." He plopped down across from the supervisor, "but then your arse is mine! Paperwork doesn't do itself you know."

*****

So the five of them sat down to play poker. Lavi dubbed himself the dealer, and announced that he would be making the rules.

He smiled and proudly proclaimed, "All right! It's time for strip poker!"

Allen looked like he was going to faint, Kanda went for mugen, Reever's jaw dropped, Komui did a spit take (with his coffee) and Lavi just sat there grinning like an idiot.

…to be continued.

A/N: Ch 1 of "Kanda Sucks at Poker" is already up, and ch 2 will be coming along very shortly. (I'll do a chapter of that, then a chapter of this.)

A/N 2: I'll update my other Komui x Reever fics soon (My muse has ADHD, but she seems to like this pair of fics).
