IX.
Reever Wenham
The sort-of young scientist had accompanied his crazy boss as his assistant for quite a long time. He had endured many pains: injuries, cuts, scratches, bruises, sleep dilemmas…one had to wonder how he stayed alive after all those incidents that happened to him.
Today, he would never have to suffer.
He was on a break.
Reever Wenham, who had never gotten a day out issued from the Supervisor, had just earned his ticket to a temporary, but much needed, freedom.
He had finished all of his paperwork yesterday, so nothing was going to be out of place. Or so he thought.
One.
"Reever! I need you to finish-" Komui dumped yet another stack of files before leaving to his office. "-this!"
"But, you said I could have a day off!"
"Did I?" The Supervisor patted his beret before grinning. "Oh, right! I take it back! Sorry!"
Why, God…why…
Two.
"Reever! Come to the Science Department, and hurry!"
The man shuddered, thinking about what his boss would want with his extra help. He silently cursed someone up there who made his life miserable as it is before.
-----
"Perfect timing! Look at this!"
Reever glanced over Komui's shoulder and moaned.
Not another Komurin…
"Supervisor, don't you think that you make too many Komurins?"
Komui shook his head so violently; Reever thought it was going to turn 180 degrees horizontally. He shook the thought away and sighed.
"If you possibly can, please stop making weird things!"
"Never! These are my most precious creations!"
Typically Komui…
CLICK-
"…What was that sound?" Reever backed away, unsure of what would happen to them all. A single 'click' could mean anything; from a simple hand snapping sequence…
To a virtually unstoppable army of mad robots which annoyingly, resembles Komui's face.
Three.
He couldn't bear it any longer. He could take a round of non-stop paper signing. He could endure the pain of losing someone he loved dearly. He could even bear the sufferings of when someone attacks or hurts him.
Although this was highly unexpected.
"So you see, Lavi and Kanda destroyed the greenhouse."
"Why am I in this, exactly?"
Johnny, the younger of the two fixed his glasses before continuing the conversation. "Because Komui asked you to fix it." He handed Reever some tools before strolling away calmly.
Reever cursed the day he learned to fix things with ease.
How did I end up working under that guy, anyway?
Four.
"Is that a woman in a Japanese dress?"
STRIKE-
Why am I thinking like Lavi?
The woman was graceful and beautiful. Nothing else mattered. Reever walked towards her, attempting to greet the lovely lady or…something.
And he saw him.
Lavi was the person accompanying the woman; he had a huge grin on his face which spelt mischief. The lady didn't seem to mind the fact that the red-head was making fun of her (for no reason).
The Australian man looked around him to see hundreds of Finders and scientists falling head-over-heels for the visitor.
"Lavi, who's the beautiful woman?" Reever asked while smiling at the woman. She looked at him before giving a friendly smile.
She's lovely…do I know her?
AHA-
"Didn't you all not notice?" Lavi clutched his stomach in attempt to restrain his obvious laughter. "Too…funny…"
"Alright, what's so funny?"
Lavi gestured at the woman and spoke in between a muffled laughter. "It's Kanda!"
…
"WHAT!?"
Reever was shocked. His innocent crush, his first love since joining the Order…crushed.
All because the woman he took interest upon was actually a man.
Last.
He sat down on his chair; piles of paper scattered everywhere, all finished and completed, no thanks to Komui. He sighed heavily and slumped on a comfortable sofa in front of Komui's desk.
What a day…
BAM-
"Finish this by tomorrow, okay?"
Reever looked at Komui's bright face, then at the new piles next to his desk. He opened his mouth, yet nothing came out.
Why does this keep happening to me…
At least on the next day, he really did obtain his well-deserved day-off.
