“Hey, I don’t think that we—” Lavi tried to protest, but Komui expertly shoved them out of his office and slammed the door behind them. He also swore he heard the door’s lock clicking. Lavi sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. Now he and Allen were stuck together for the foreseeable future. Awkward.
He looked over at the other boy, who was still blanching at the ridiculous list Komui had left with them. Even though he was frustrated with being pushed into this situation, Lavi did appreciate the chance to see Allen again – even if the other boy didn’t want to see him.
“Looks like we get to be the lucky suckers for Komui’s whims today. Let’s get this over with.” He didn’t wait for Allen as he started to walk in the direction of the storage rooms.
Allen looked up from the list in time to see Lavi sweep past him, heading towards the stairs. Allen hesitated only a moment before following.
A part of Allen was happy to see Lavi again. He had missed the loud redhead. But he also knew that they did eventually need to talk about what happened on the train, and Lavi would probably take this opportunity to confront him about it, as well as about Allens avoidance of the matter. Allen didnt know how he could explain why he was avoiding Lavi, without letting Lavi know how deep his feelings were. If this was all just a fling for Lavi, Allen was determined to hide his own feelings.
When Allen saw the storage rooms, he groaned.
“This is going to take forever…” He pulled open the heavy door to the first room and glanced inside. It seemed to be an old bedroom converted to storage. There was a bed in the corner, covered in dust, and rows of metal shelves filling the rooms, all filled with unmarked, dusty boxes.
“This really is going to take forever…” he muttered darkly, forgetting about Lavi for the moment as he entertained thoughts of how he could get back at Komui for this.
