Mari has to fight back a smile at the sound of disgust that Asuka makes from beside her. She’s got an eyebrow raised, and a corner of her mouth turned straight down in the loveliest look of disapproval that Mari has had the pleasure of seeing. “Could they be any more obvious?” There is dull venom in Asuka’s voice, gaze fixed on the two boys huddled close in the corner of the room. Mari turns from Asuka to give the pair a quick appraisal. Sure enough, Kaworu has his hands in his pockets and he’s leaning into Shinji. Apart from the artificial gleam of christmas lights this room is dark, but Mari thinks she’d be willing to bet all her personal belongings that Shinji is trying to hide a blush as he shyly ducks his head to the side. “I wish they’d just hurry up and-“ “Not everyone can be as forward as you.” Mari kisses Asuka’s cheek, smiles against her scowl as she leans back. “Are you kidding, it’s been months. You’ve seen Shinji moping about, pining over Nagisa. I don’t understand why he won’t just get it over with and make a move.” Mari reaches out to tuck a strand of Asuka’s hair behind her ear but Asuka is quick to swat at her hand before grabbing it and tangling their fingers together. “Mari, my hair is fine.” “Whatever you say, Princess.” Asuka glares at her. “You’re the worst.” The curve of Mari’s lips is silly, feminine, almost cat-like as she leans in once more to kiss Asuka on the cheek. “Let’s say we help Shinji get some.” Asuka wonders how Mari manages to sound like she’s laughing without actually laughing. “The absolute worst,” she mutters. This time Mari does laugh. ~ Shinji takes a slow, careful sip of his hot chocolate. He’s nervous as he listens to Kaworu speak, nervous as he watches the boy’s mouth move... ... middle of paper ... ...g. “Ah, yes, you’re right. We should-we should um go.” They’re quiet as they walk back, avoiding each other’s eyes and trying not to jump whenever their shoulders brush. ~ Mari eyes the two boys for the rest of the night. Asuka tries to act like she isn’t curious but there’s definitely some concern there. When Mari pokes her in the shoulder, she stays quiet and lets her speak. “Do you think they-“ Asuka glowers at her. “Stop. Stop, no, stop. We don’t need to talk about that.” “Really though, this is weird. Something happened. Look they’re not quite leaving each other but they’re not talking either.” Suddenly, Asuka’s eyes widen. She grips at Mari’s wrist, hisses her name. “What?” Mari asks, leaning into her. “Nagisa. His buttons are mismatched,” whispers Asuka. Mari takes a moment, stares at Kaworu’s shirt, and then laughs until she feels tears in her eyes.

BEHIND HER CLOSED EYES, Lorelei was wide awake. She was afraid to open her eyes. And rightly so. She was afraid that if she opened her eyes and Jared realized that she wasn’t hurt, he’d leave.

“ Why are you guys fighting over me? I like neither one of you.” Molly laughed walking away.
“We always do something. I don’t want to keep bothering you.” I said and Ves frowned. He was about to speak, but couldn’t get a word out before his attention turned elsewhere.
“Huh?” Kasumi turned to look. She saw a boy crouched against the wall of the building next door, with a flimsy yellow umbrella over his head.
“Uhm, what’s happening right now?” I asked the two as they were starring into each others eyes.
