Disclaimer: D.Gray-Man Not mine. This story What I wrote out of my own strange mind...
Note: Thanks for the continuous support everyone's been giving me, this is the long awaited (well I've been led to believe that it's been long awaited) chapter where we find out what Lavi saw! Dun dun dun! Oh, if I don't label who's POV it is, assume it's Lavi's.
-------------------------------------
Last Chapter: Well, this couldn't be too hard. All he needed to do was sneak back into Komui's little experiment room and check back on what he had seen. If he made a mistake, then let by-gones be by-gones. If he didn't... Lavi swallowed, he didn't want to be right, he really didn't.
"To the cafeteria! Sorry Komui, but your coffee supply's gonna run a little low today!"
--------------------------------------
--9:36 am--
Lavi sighed. He was planning to go back into Komui's experiment room really late at night (if not early in the morning), but was already stuck in the preparation stage of his plan; he had to find a way to stay awake.
The first part was easy enough; he merely snuck into the back of the kitchens in hopes of finding that "lovely" brown concoction that would hopefully aid him in the task of staying awake. However, he found that the kitchen of the Black Order, was merely that; a place for cooking.
Other than the most basic ingredients laid out on the counters (which included eggs, milk, flour, soba noodles, cereal, vegetables, etc...), Lavi couldn't locate anything else, let alone coffee, that was edible.
My god, of course! He slapped himself on the forehead. It all made sense. With all these parasitic-type exorcists in the Black Order, many of them would undoubtedly have an urge to sneak into their food supply during the night to satisfy their nearly-bottomless stomachs and the rest of the order would have nothing to feed the rest them.
So, they must keep all the supplies somewhere else... Man, they must love making my life so difficult... Looks like I hafta go to plan B.
-----------------------------------------
--In the Science Department--
If any of the busy scientists weren't suffering heavily from lack of sleep and too much work with no over-time pay, at least one of them would've noticed the bright, red hair that stuck out from behind a huge stack of paper.
Plan B... Was a plan that Lavi had created in case he couldn't find coffee in the cafeteria, or Jerry kicked him out before he could take it. It was a simple plan, but it was full of risks and holes.
Firstly, it relied on the assumption that Komui must have a separate coffee supply than the rest of the order. Secondly, if he did have his own supply, the Chinese scientist wouldn't give it up so easily.
So what was Lavi doing in the science department and NOT Komui's office? Well even if Komui did have his own coffee supply, Reever would NEVER allow him to have it within his office. After all, the caffeine-addicted Komui would drink it until his stomach gave way and he'd have a legitimate excuse to skip work, nah, Reever would never let that kind of thing happen.
And going from that little train of thought, the bookman-in-training decided if Komui had his own supply of coffee... It would be guarded by the ever-so-helpful Reever, who would also keep it away from Komui as much as possible. Or Lenalee, but he doubted she'd be able to keep all that coffee stashed away in her room.
"Eh, Lavi is that you?" Dammit! I didn't think anyone could possibly be sane enough to notice me here... Wait, there is one person... He turned around to see none other than Reever Wenhamm, who despite the dark circles around his eyes seemed to still be able to stay awake enough to notice his surroundings. "What're you doing here?"
Lavi reached around his brain to think of a logical excuse for his being here, at the same time a conversation starter that would hopefully give him a hint as to where Komui might keep his extra coffee, if it existed. Just, stay calm and act naturally and eventually he'll...
"I NEED TO FIND KOMUI'S SECRET COFFEE STASH!!! WHERE IS IT?!!" He practically screamed this in Reever's face. Reever would've undoubtedly covered his ears but it was a little difficult to do when someone was grabbing you by the collar of your shirt. Geh, so much for "calm" and "natural"...
"His coffee stash isn't really a secret but, Lavi are you feeling okay?"
"Just tell me where it is, I'm begging you! This could be a matter of my life and Kanda's privacy, I need to find it!"
"Kanda's privacy?" Reever repeated. The poor underpaid scientist looked truly confused by now. "And I can't really tell you where it is, I'd get-"
"JUST TELL ME GOD DAMMIT!" Despite his lack of sleep and over-use of his brain, Reever was wide awake now. Then again, it's really hard to fall asleep when someone was shouting in your ear and shaking the living daylight out of you. Suddenly, a thoughtful expression crossed Lavi's face. "Reever, if you don't tell me where Komui's coffee stash is, I'll tell him that you slept with Lenalee."
The scientist's face paled so much it was comparable to Krory's. And without another word he led Lavi to one of the many bookshelves there and pulled several books out of the way to reveal a secret compartment. Bingo!
-------------------------------------
--2:35 am, the next day--
The little start of his plan had been a success. The caffeine had kept him awake until everything else in the Order had either dropped out cold on their desks piled with unfinished work, or simply gone to bed. Turns out, a lot of the Black Order's staff was still running about the halls even in the really late hours, so Lavi had to wait a little longer than he had expected to.
Finding the room this time didn't take very long since he was merely taking the direct route there and didn't have Allen's sense of direction.
So, we meet again. He was standing in front of the familiar room that had started all of this. As usual, there were screams and sounds of gears all around the surrounding rooms, but none of this seemed to affect Lavi at the current moment. Please don't be what I think it is. Please don't be what I think it is.
He could hear every footstep echoing in the small room as he neared the device that he had seen just the other day. The anxiety inside him caused cold sweats to run down his face and Lavi to swallow excessively. He sat down in front of the very same computer. Here goes, the moment of truth!
He opened his eye that he hadn't meant to close and turned to face the screen.
There are moments in life that are really serious and scary at the same time for some people. Unfortunately, this was one of those times. When Lavi turned to face the screen of the computer, he found that Komui had closed off the page he had been viewing the day before. A part of him seemed a little relieved that the time of confirmation had been slightly delayed, a part of him could fall back from the chair from the sudden mood change, and another part of him had simply shut off all together.
Gah, this confirms it. Someone must be determined to make my life difficult. He opened the Internet Explorer and clicked on the URL bar (not that he really knew the proper name for all these). Lessie, what was written here again? Most people wouldn't have been able to remember such a long and seemingly random sentence-ish thing, but Bookmen weren't most people. And as a successor to Bookman, he recalled what was written there the day before and typed it in.
There we go... Now... Please don't be what I think it is... When the page finally loaded into view, he scanned the page with equal horror and surprise as the last time he saw it.
If Lavi was to believe what he had read, then Lavi was to believe that Kanda and Allen's relationship was much better than anyone would've thought it was and that they did some pretty disturbing things together at night...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, cat's out of the bag now! It should be REALLY obvious what was written there now... I'm not going to explain in details, this is rated T, not M. (Okay, now it should REALLY be obvious... Kanda, Allen, M rating... Ha ha ha, you can think the rest with your dirty minds xD)
Sorry if this chapter seems a bit sloppy and rushed, cuz it was (rushed, I dunno about sloppy). I just really had a lot to do this week and I didn't really want to keep people waiting so... Well, I hope it was okay enough to not disappoint anyone...
