Everything Had been so blurred. The Attack, the bullet he fired, and then the after affects. Seeing his own people dying was what had hit him the hardest. But beyond that Reever Wenham could not get one simple thing out of his mind. How was it even possible that Komui Lee was still standing? After all that man had been through it in that one day how had he not collapsed to his knees in tears?
How ever Komui was doing it, Reever wished he would teach it to him. Then maybe, he wouldn't feel so weak. Then another thought came to his mind. He may seem like the weak one right now, but later on in the day, when everyone else is asleep, or too busy working to be around Komui. Then there would be no more hiding. His tears wouldn't be held back anymore. At that moment Reever would find a way to sneak away from his science team, and sit beside Komui. Even if it meant having to sneak past that damned Nurse.
"Science section Leader Reever!" There it was, the spin tingling call of the dreaded head nurse. "Section leader Reever, Johnny you two should be laying in bed right now!" Yah, it would definitely take a lot of effort to sneak over to komui later, was all Reever could think as the head nurse grabbed them by the ear and dragged them back to their stretchers so they could be taken to the medical bay.
"Do you have a death wish Science section leader?" Johnny was probably right in saying those exact words, but that wasn't important right now "if the head nurse catches you…"
"I need to do this Johnny" was all Reever could think of saying as he turned to his friend and smiled "I need to see him. I know he's not alright. Not now" Johnny shook his head and laughed, and without another thought Reever continued on his way.
It was Natural that Komui had the only private room left in the building, since he was the supervisor. But did it really have to be so far from the others. Reever had been lucky he heard the nurse talking in Krorys room before he opened the door thinking it was Komuis.
She wasn't going to be in Komuis room at that time of night. Not when he simply had a broken arm and a possible concussion. Even if she had wanted to be by his side tending to him 24/7 he would never allow it. To him everyone else was more important.
Finally Reever touched the door to Komuis room, and laid an ear against it, hoping to hear anyone who might be in there. "I'm alone Reever" Reever could have sworn Komui was either psychic, or had a golem watching over the outside of the room. When neither seemed to be the case because of biology, and no trace of a golem he opened the door and stepped in. "You have a death wish or something?"
" I'm starting to wonder that myself Komui" A few steps in and Reever was standing right in front of Komui. "but I had to come. I need to make sure you were alright" there was no reply, but then of course Reever didn't expect one.
Komuis head was tilted just enough that he was looking at the ground, but he was still looking at Reever just enough. His hair was messier then Reever had ever seen it, and he had seen him after sex and sleep. Sometimes both.
"You really do have a fucking death wish" He stepped Back a bit from his boss and lover and lowered his own head"What was so important that you had to see me? I swear to god if you say there's paper work waiting for me im going to take a nice chunk off of your head"
"After a day like this, even the great Komui can't say sain for long." This time Komui laughed "And im not hear as your science section leader who loves to torture you with mountains of paper work. This time im here as your friend"
"You haven't been my friend in six months" Komui said behind another laugh "if your going to say something like that tell the truth. Say lover and be done with it Reever" He knew it was a really had time for Komui, hell for everyone. He usually really hated that stupid nickname too, but this was one of those few times that he wanted to hear that stupid nickname. That name that made his fingers curl in anger, but his hair stand on end in lust. After all, his hair didn't stay like that with gel alone.
"Come on curly, say it"
"What is "it" exactly may I ask Reever?"
"Call me Reevy, like you always do. It sounds better then Reever anyways" Komui laughed once again under his breath "and you're alone with me, im not going to bug you if you cry a little Komui. Hell, if I had a room to myself id do that same thing. It's been a hard day"
"Hard it putting it lightly" Now Reever could see them. The tears, slowly making their way down that smooth, pail face and onto the supervisor's coat. Reever took that step in front of Komui and laid a soft hand on his shoulder. "It should have been. Four of them died because of me"
"They died because they knew if we lost you, wed loss all hope"
"All hope of what? All I do is waist time making stupid inventions and destroying the place myself. I rarely need help breaking a few walls"
"That's exactly why we would loss all hope. Without those monstrosities chasing after us once in a while, we wouldn't be on our toes every day, ready for an attack. We would have thought this was the safest place on earth to be, but thanks to those stupid Kumarines we have security everywhere, ready and armed to attack in case something happens. " A sweet hand made its way down to Komuis chin and lifted his head up to look in Reevers soft brown eyes "if someone else was in charge the science section might never have been taught how to defend ourselves, and I might never have shot a bullet through that creepy skull things head"
"Should have shot sooner. Might have saved Tap"
"don't go blaming yourself for Tap Komui. He was under my supervision. If its anyone's fault its mine"
"You also had to watch out for the rest of the science section. You couldn't save them all Reevy"
"Just like you couldn't save those four from the security division. Were only human"
"and their super human…" Reever had enough of Komuis self pity. It never looked good on the usually energetic, genius like supervisor. Without any warning he leaned over and claimed Komuis lips against his own. It wasn't long before his tongue found its way past Komuis lips, and searched hungrily through his mouth. "R…Reevy" Komui Moaned into the kiss. His one good hand finally found the strength to move from his side and onto Reevers thigh not too long after the kiss had started.
Reever pushed away from the kiss after a few minutes, because as normal humans, the two men did need air once in a while. "I know tonight is not the night for anything" The blond Australian smiled "And we are not going to do anything. But im not leaving this room tonight"
"And your point is?" A raised eye brow from his black hair lover told Reever that the man really was too tired to be thinking
"My point is, you're going to sleep, and so am I" He smiled, leaning into Komui and claiming his lips passionately once more. Slowly he lead his hand up Komuis Back, and under his shirt. With a gentle push he fell on top of Komui when the Chinese man fell to the bed
"Reevy" The begging tone Reever always hated hearing when he was giving Komui more paper work to sign was back in the older mans voice, and for once he loved it. Laying down beside Komui Reever felt a smile creep up onto his face
"Tomorrow" He promised while laying a line of butterfly kissed on Komuis chin "I promise, ill do anything you want tomorrow, but today is not for us"
Komui had no words to say this time. Instead he cured up into Reevers strong arms and closed his eyes. He really was tired, but he had never expected to be sleeping that night. Not when so much had just happened.
"Tomorrow" Reever promised once more "Tomorrow we will have the funeral, and well check up on Leenalee. Im sure you'll want to see her" When Reever didn't receive an answer he looked down at the man in his arms, and smiled when he saw that he had already passed out "Tomorrow, is another day for us"
