Komui for Debitt (376 words)
Prompt: Anything science-branch centric.
Komui Lee doesn't believe in God. He finds that there are too many variables and contradicting theories with the bible and religion in general so he prefers to believe in himself, Lenalee, and the surrogate-family he has found with the Dark Order.
He's sitting at his desk doing his paperwork while making it seem like he actually isn't (one of his favourite things to do aside from really not doing paperwork) when Reever brings him some coffee in his favourite mug. He grins his thanks and dodges the younger man's inquiries as to when he is going to start doing some work with a wave of his hand. Reever leaves, head shaking, and Komui sips at his coffee absently until there's none left.
Surreptitiously finishing off the last of his paperwork he lays his head down on his desk to sleep. Because he trusts his family enough to look after everything, including himself and his baby sister, he finds it easy to drift into a peaceful slumber.
He will wake up to Lenalee prodding him awake gently; steaming mug of fresh coffee balanced carefully on her tray. Allen will be at the other end of the department handing out coffee to the others in his department because he is helpful like that and knows how to treat a lady.
He sips at his coffee more carefully this time to savour the taste. He makes a mental-note to thank Jerry later that evening.
By the time early-morning rolls 'round most of the science department is sprawled across desks and paperwork, fast asleep, and Komui sits there, relishing in the peace. He cherishes these moments -- when everything feels perfectly safe and normal, like there isn't a war raging on that they are struggling to win -- more than any other time he can think of.
Komui doesn't believe in Heaven, because for all the pain and suffering they endure he knows there is no better place than where he is -- surrounded by the people he cares about and who care about him in return.
He doesn't believe in God because God hasn't done anything to help him in his life, but he does believe in a higher power and he knows exactly what it is:
Love.
