Lavi walked to Komui’s office with heavy footsteps. This was so, so awkward. Lenalee had told him that he and Allen were supposed to report to Komui for a mission, but she left out any details of what the mission would be. The redhead knew he should’ve been ecstatic, having the chance to be alone with Allen and talk with him without any interruptions. But now it just felt weird. They hadn’t gotten a chance to talk, and with how well Allen had been avoiding him lately, Lavi had the distinct feeling that Allen didn’t want to talk.

Maybe everything was a mistake. Maybe he shouldn’t have let things go as far as they did with the other Exorcist. But what was done couldn’t be undone. Lavi would just have to deal with it as best he could.

When he reached Komui’s office, he entered the room and found that he was the last one to get there. Allen was already standing near the chief’s desk, looking just as unhappy as he was. At least they both were uncomfortable. That made Lavi feel better – but not much.

“Hey. So what’s the job, boss man,” Lavi said nonchalantly as he sauntered up to the desk. He did his best to not look as upset as he was, and avoided meeting Allen’s gaze.

Komui didn’t seem to notice the tension between the two Exorcists, and handed Allen a few pieces of paper.

“No one else is available, so I need you two to find a few things in the storerooms in the basement. I’m not sure which room they are in, and they wont all be together, so you’ll have to search every room until you find them.”

“A few?” Allen looked at the pages Komui handed him, all filled with various items or chemicals needed. 

“It will take a while, that’s why I’m having both of you look. You might not finish today, but find what you can and bring it up before you go to dinner.” Komui said, hurrying towards the door before the two could complain further.
