midnightstar | A SURPRISE LENALEE APPROACHES; Command?

Komui smiled widely, "Of course! The most important thing in the world to me is my sister's happiness." For all the kind and understanding words he was saying, Reever and Lenalee both were staring in disbelief at the other man.

In fact, ther ewasn't even any hypodermic needles in his hand when he stepped around the desk to give Allen a hug! "Welcome to the family, Allen!" Twitch. "I hope you and my sister," Twitch... twitch... "Will be very..." Twitch... "Ha.. ha.. HAHAHAHAHA I CAN'T DO IT!!!" He bellowed, "You think I'll let you just take my little sister away? NEVER; I won't let you or anyone else take her!"

Reever facepalmed, "I had a feeling it would end up like this."
Lenalee also facepalmed, "... ahaha...aha.." Wait, "Komui! Leave Allen alone-!"

"Stay out of this Lenalee! This is between MEN(tm)! KOMURINS!"

BAM! Two golems muscled their way into the office...through the wall of all things. What was that he was saying about this being between men?

Allen on the other hand wasn't getting any closer, narrowing his eyes in suspicion. Three was no way he would...then the first twitch happened and then more before he finally snapped. Once again his poker skills saved his life it seemed.

Allen looked over his shoulders with a determined look on his face before activating his Innocence. "I'm sorry Komui. But I can't afford to let you harm me so I will be defending myself"

Why Komui, Just. Just Why. Okay she knew why, but still, "Komui!" SOMEONE needs a boot to the head!

Komui slams a hand down on his desk again, "I expected as much Allen! Hohoho, but I've planned for just such a contingency with people who think they're worthy of MY Lenalee."

Who is currently facepalming forever. Oh my god Komui. Well this is actually exactly what they were expecting, and Lenalee didn't think it really would be seriously dangerous - for all of his crazy overprotectiveness, he wouldn't REALLY want to hurt Allen. Just scare him off!

After all, who would want to date someone with a lunatic brother right? ..wait...

The two Komurin's that muscled their way into the office were armed with a hammer and a mop respectively - don't ask. Although as the first one started to reel back with its ... uh...weapon, Komui suddenly had a moment of clarify, "WAIT!"

Both Komurin's stopped dead and looked at him. Lenalee almost relaxed because he must have realized how ridiculous this all was.

"We can't battle in here," Komui said. "We have important papers. Lets' move this to a different venue."

Like the training room. Plenty of space in there! Of course Lenalee would like him to just stop being silly, and Reever would have liked him to come to that realization BEFORE the Komurins busted a hole in the wall, buuuuuuut..

Allen was 0.001 seconds away from just unleashing Clown Belt on the two Komurins and reducing them both to scrap metal when Komuis seemed to have a sudden epiphany. Unfortunately it wasn't one that put an end to hostilities.

"Really?" He asked with a deadpan. On second thought maybe he should destroy the Komurins now while they were stopped by their creator's order.

Komui crossed his arms, smirking with the smirk of potential victory. "Of course! HA HAhahaha! If you can defeat my Komurins, then...then I'll allow... you to ....." NOPE, can't even say it. "HA! But you'll never defeat them! HA HAha~"

Reever sighed, "I'm sorry about this you two - we.. haven't gotten much sleep the past few days." Which ...was plenty obvious, really. Though Lenalee couldn't really blame all of it on Sleep deprivation.

"Allen.." Just.. just smash 'em. Komui needs sleep more than anything else, and Lenalee was going to help him with that. ~.~

This was likely not going to earn him any brownie points but honestly it was better to make this clean and quick.

"Is that so? Well then remember those words~" Allen said smiling sweetly as battle intent surged out of him for a split second before the cape at his back suddenly split into blade like tendrils that then proceeded to carve the two Komurin's behind him into a circuit salad without losing that smile for even a moment.

"There. Done."

And while Allen does that, Lenalee marched herself over to her brother, as Komui stared at what remained of his Komurins, his jaw dropped for a moment or two. And how effortlessly Allen did that. Just. Smiling the whole time. ".......t... that.. THAT DOESN'T COUNT. Best two out of three!" Komui no, don't start betting with Allen. "I'll Just -"

Take a nap apparently, since Lenalee whacks him in the head with her leg. "Enough, Komui!" And down he goes.

Although now he was liable to send Komurin's after Allen until he finally accepted the relationship - and he did on some level. But at least Lenalee would patch up any scratches Allen got afterward. "Honestly." Lenalee sighed.

"You know he only means the best for you, Lenalee." Reever chuckled, padding over to pull the unconsious brother up and drag him to the couch.

Lenalee glanced at Allen at that, with a faint smile. Clearly she knows what the 'best' option for her is. "Come on, let's let him sleep."

And if he tried the blowdart he would find that Allen's cape was already protecting his neck as well. He learned from last time, Komui. You wouldn't get him again with that trick dammit.

He did watch the man's lights go out as Lenalee put him to sleep. "How much are you going to bet he's going to think this was all just a nightmare he had?" Allen asked with a suffering sigh. He knew he was destined for a good while to be attacked and ambushed by Komurins from now on but he would weather through it. He didn't think KOmui would be able to outlast him in terms of resolve.

"Do you want us to clean up this mess too?" he said pointing over his shoulder at the scrap metal. Though he would like to leave with Lenalee he felt guilty about giving the science division more work.

"I'd lose that bet," Reever coughed. Komui was definitely going to think that. Lenalee sighed, "Well... the important thing is that we did tell him." He'll remember the facts when he saw them later she was sure.

"Or I'll just have to remind him." But that aside, it was a huge weight off of her shoulders, and she didn't feel guilty about being with Allen, when they were hiding it from Komui and everyone for those first few days.

Also, Lenalee nodded, about to chime in to offer help with clean up, but Reever waved a hand, "Nah, this bit of a mess is nothing compared to the usual. ... that makes me sad to even say that." He sighed the sigh of the long suffering.

"Yeah You're right of course." Allen said with a small sigh. Still now that they'd come clean it meant Allen could actually act a little more like a boyfriend with her in front of the rest of the Order. So naturally the first thing he did was skillfully take hold of Lenalee's hand.

"Ahahaha well if you're sure. If you need us for anything you know how to reach us." Allen nodded before giving Lenalee's hand a brief squeeze. It was true having told the main person about their feelings for each other was quite the trial to get past.

Reever grinned as he watched the pair. Somehow he felt like this was the way things were supposed to be. "Of course I do. I only wish that your upcoming mission wouldn't separate you.

Tell you what - I'll do what I can to see that you guys will be able to go out on the same team going forward." His hands might be tied sometimes, but at least he's going to try.

Lenalee, feeling Allen hold her hand, blushes intensely as she curled her fingers around his, giving him a happy, warm smile. "We appreciate it Reever, thank you. We'll see you later."

That was more than he dared hope for so knowing they had at least someone there trying to set things up that way meant a lot to Allen. "Yes thank you." He said echoing Lenalee's own words before tugging the girl closer with a smile. No more hiding behind people's backs.

"I think we should go tell Jerry too. Though knowing him he probably already knew by now." Allen proposed as he led Lenalee out of the science division wing back into the main corridors past a set of guards who did a double take seeing him hold the hand of the person whose brother could cause hell just at the mere notion of her finding a lover.

Lenalee's smile brightened, gently curling her arm around him when he pulled her closer. "Good idea. Though you're probably right, he probably already guessed it from the way he was looking at me when I came back the other day." When they had gone out to get fish and things for him.

"Still I think he'd like to hear it from us anyway." That and see them being openly happy with each other. He was after all a kind of mother figure to both of them as strange as that might have sounded to some people. It felt so right having Lenalee against his arm though. Allen couldn't help the smile on his face as they chatted and headed to the cafeteria.

"Yeah; he deserves to hear it from us, and not rumormill and gossip. And I want to tell Miranda also." Lavi, Kanda and the rest can go hang. .. Oh wait, that's kinda rude. The smile stayed on her face as well, finally being able to walk with him arm in arm like this.

The moment they stepped through the doors to the cafeteria, Jerry glanced up, "Ah, Allen, Lenalee, how-" He stopped short, and then grinned widely. "Ahahah!~ I knew it! Look at you two~! You're adorable!" Cutest pair he's ever seen.

"We can tell anyone you want." Allen nodded with a bright smile. In his case the only one he definitely wanted to tell was Jerry. Everyone else would learn of it. It was fine to let Miranda know though.

Hearing Jerry's first reaction, Allen couldn't help but smile bashfully with slightly reddened cheeks.

"Thank you. Sorry for keeping it a secret for so long but we didn't want to risk it until we told Komui."

Lenalee giggled, but she wrapped both arms around Allen's almost to drive home the fact that he was with her and vice versa. Jerry put a hand to his cheek, grinning even bigger - looking quite like the cat that ate the canary. "Oh it's all right, I completely understand. And it was worth the surprise." He paused. "Uh -- speaking of, how DID the talk with Komui go...?"

Allen could seriously get used to having a happy Lenalee around his arm at all times. That smile was enough to chase any worry away. But they were talking with Jerry so he had to split his attention a bit.

"Well about as well as you expect. I had to scrap two of his Komurins to prove a point and Lenalee put him back to sleep since he clearly needed it."

Jerry looked thoroughly amused at the sight too. "Probably for the best - he and the researchers have really been burning the midnight oil, so to speak. Although I suspect that's not going to be the end of it, knowing him and how - if you pardon me saying, Lenalee, - overprotective he is of his family."

Lenalee coughed, "Ah, we already had that same idea, you're right. But I think..Komui might have met his match in this."

"Oh I know that won't be the end of it for a long time. But I'm fine with toughing it out. Maybe that and seeing how happy it will make Lenalee will get through to him eventually. I certainly have plenty of motivation to go through with this." Allen said turning to flash Lenalee an adoring smile for her praise.

"We just wanted to let you know right away now that the secret is out."

Jerry chuckled, "Well judging from the way she's smiling from ear to ear now," he chuckled as Lenalee blushed again, "I think you'd have to be blind to see how happy you make her. And vice versa - I don't think I've seen you smile so fully before either."

He may have to put up a diabetes warning when Allen and Lenalee were in the cafeteria. Chuckling as he watched the two smile at each other so happily, a tooth may have just rotted in his mouth. "Well, I'm glad you though of telling me directly - I really appreciate that."

"Have you seen Miranda, Jerry? I want to tell her too." Lenalee said.

"Mm, I think she's out on mission right now, actually. I'll tell her you're looking for her when she gets back though - but don't worry, I won't spoil the surprise."

Lenalee chuckled, "Thank you."

"Hahaha you really think so?" Well he wouldn't deny it. Having Lenalee there with him and knowing how dear he was to her and vice versa. It was like walking on clouds really.

"Hopefully she gets back before we get sent out on a mission. In any case I think this is where we'll excuse ourselves Jerry." Because now he wanted to enjoy his time with Lenalee in a bit more of a private setting. After all he'd been holding in the desire to kiss and caress the girl quite a bit. That and get a chance to laugh and celebrate with her a little too.

Jerry made a 'Oh' of realization; here he was chatting their ears off and they probably wanted to relax. "Of course, of course. I'll keep an eye out for Komui and give you a heads up if I hear him about to cause trouble." Or try anyway. He was about to add 'enjoy' or 'have fun' but realized that would sound awfully awkward coming from him. "See you later!~"

Lenalee grinned, "Thanks again Jerry!" She lifted a hand to wave to him, the other firmly holding onto her.. boyfriend. Lover. Boy that made the butterflies in her stomach flutter around like mad.

"Thank you, Jerry." Allen said and waved goodbye before leaning a little closer to speak with Lenalee while they walked out under the incredulous and in some parts jealous stares of the people in the cafeteria.

"So where do you think we should go next after this?" Allen proposed, wanting to see if Lenalee had a place in mind.

They could be jealous all they liked, she was allllll his. No one even rated other than him. Leaning towards him to catch the question, she looked thoughtful. She hadn't really had any particular place in mind, herself.

"Anywhere, as long as it's with you." She said with a grin. And after a longer pause, she considered the spots they'd been to. They could go to the beach, or that pretty spot with the flowers... though they could also stay in and cuddle too. And that thought made her blush all over again.
