R/N: Yo, this is Joe. Kelsey is at work and I was looking through her computer (I was bored). This was marked as finished so I thought I'd post it for her. I think she was going to wait until she'd gotten halfway through the next chapter, but I like this one. And if I post it she'll feel obligated to update it as soon as possible.
Happy late birthday to Reever and my boyfriend George! (Sept 8th) This was inspired when George got sick… he's fine now though.
Disclaimer: She doesn't own DGM, but she did make us Komui and Reever cosplays.
Komui was starting to get worried. Reever just hadn't been himself lately, he was pale and uncharacteristically reserved, even while managing to seem frazzled. And then one day the collapsed.
It was Komui who found him, lying unconscious on the floor 20 feet (6 meters) from his desk, papers and books strewn around him. The supervisor freaked out, scooped the blonde up bridal style and rushed him to the nurse.
It was quickly concluded that Reever had collapsed from a combination of stress, overwork, dehydration, and high blood sugar (from all the soda and candy).
Under normal circumstances the matron would've watched over him like a hawk . However, there had been a rash of misfortune among the finders, everything from injuries to a highly infectious flu virus.
As such Reever was free to go… under strict orders that he take it easy for a few weeks. Jerry had volunteered to monitor the blonde's food intake and he was responsible enough to medicate himself.
Reever took his medicine like a good boy and slept for the better part of two days. The science department, who had always said that they'd be lost without him, now got to find out just how true that was.
Chaos reigned supreme. The supervisor shut himself in his labs and no one could get him out. Paperwork piled up everywhere not only in Komui's office but around Reever's desk as well. They were all amazed to realize just how much work the Aussie managed to accomplish even while he was busy reigning Komui in.
Reever, for his part, desperately wanted to be back at work. But in his current state he doubted he'd be of much use, especially since he was coming down with the flu.

Komui was getting worried. He had thought that after a few days rest he'd have his Reever back good as new (and in the meantime he could get away with all sorts of things). But that wasn't the case. It had been five days since he'd last seen Reever and he was getting kind of lonely.
Komui headed up to the cafeteria. Jerry knew everything, he'd be able to tell him if his Reever was going to be okay.
R/N (roommates note): I think she said that there would be two more chapters…..
