Shinji Ikari. His dearly beloved Shinji Ikari. The boy who had captured his attention from when he first laid his eyes on him. His classmate, friend and crush, all at the same time. The boy who has him desperately trying to get his attention for way too long. Shinji Ikari, is now ignoring him!!
Sitting up on his bed, wearing his clothes and stealing his magazines to read, Shinji still had the audacity to ignore him. How dare he! However, Kaworu couldn’t bring himself to be mad at him, instead he was deeply saddened, pouting like a child with his arms crossed.
“Nagisa-kun, please stop pouting. You look stupid.” Shinji mumbled, lowering the magazine he was holding and finally looking at the taller boy.
Kaworu, immediately stopped pouting and perked up at other’s attention. His frown turning into a cheeky grin as he scooted even closer to the boy, closing the distance between them. His 23rd attempt if he recalled correctly finally worked! His beloved is paying attention to him! Although his beloved looked rather annoyed and displeased at him. Kaworu couldn’t care less though.
“Shinji-kuuun. Do you have any plans for tomorrow? We could go to the bench or we could go try out that new restaurant! Oh! I kno- Hey! Listen to me will you?! Hmph..” Kaworu’s excitement died down at he realised Shinji wasn’t listening to him at all and instead invested all his attention towards the magazine.
“Shinji-kun.”
ignored
“Shinji-kun.”
ignored
“Shinji-kun!”
ignored..
Each time the ashen-haired boy called out for his beloved, the brunette would simply hold the magazine closer to his face, blocking his view. The crimson-eyed boy finally gave up and laid his head on his beloved’s lap. Fortunately for him, Shinji did not freak out and simply let Kaworu lay his head on his lap. If he did this a few months ago, it probably would have been a different story.
Pouting once again, silently tracing his fingertips along his beloved’s thigh, he suddenly felt something placed on top of his head. Averting his gaze upwards, he saw that Shinji had used his head as a sort of table for the magazine, the audacity is through the roof! Although he didn’t complain, thinking it was quite cute instead.
It was silent for a few minutes, the occasional pages flipping, Kaworu swinging his legs while Shinji continued reading the magazine. Until, the ruby-eyed boy broke the silence.
“Don’t ignore meeee.. Shinji-kun..” Kaworu pleaded.
“Nagisa-kun, you are the one who begged me to have a sleepover with you since you never had one before.” Shinji begrudgingly replied, his eyes narrowing.
“Yeah? I didn’t have one before. You’re my first one.” Kaworu said, lifting his head from Shinji’s lap, the magazine sliding away his head.
“Yeah! Since I’m your supposed guest, shouldn’t you be accommodating me?” Shinji remarked.
“I am accommodating you! I let you use my clothes, my stuff and my bed! Isn’t that accommodating?” Kaworu spat back. He actually regretted letting Shinji pick out his clothes from his closet, since Shinji took his favourite bright orange shirt that he usually likes wearing.
“W-well.. whatever.. you win.” Shinji muttered, flushing slightly as he realised that he used Kaworu’s shampoo and clothes, and now he’s literally on his bed.
Kaworu continued to pout, before laying his head on the other’s shoulder as the other boy reached out to grab his magazine. Flipping to where he had left off. The grey-haired boy left out a yawn, feeling a bit sleepy.
“Let’s go to sleep, Shinji-kun. It’s getting late.” Kaworu mumbled against Shinji’s shoulder.
“Okay..”
Kaworu smiled at the answer. Lifting his head up from his shoulder and getting beneath the blankets. Patiently waiting for his beloved to join him. Shinji placed down the magazine on the nightstand, turning off the lights before joining the pale boy.
Kaworu’s eyes took a moment to adjust in the darkness, turning his body so he could face the brunette boy. The brunette boy just stared at the ceiling, an awkward silence between them. Kaworu scooted closer and closer to Shinji, trying to make it unnoticeable but he was promptly stopped when a warm hand was pressed against his chest.
“Nagisa-kun stop getting closer to me.” Shinji mumbled, not bothering to look at the other boy.
Ignoring his beloved’s words, he gently removed the hand from his chest before closing the distance between them, pulling Shinji into a hug. Shinji’s face flushed red, his heart beat suddenly increased rapidly before he was pushed away by a now flustered Shinji.
“What do you think you are doing!!!” Shinji stuttered out, his cheeks were visibly rosy in the darkness as he turned his body to face Kaworu.
“Just this once? I promise.” Kaworu pleaded, using his puppy eyes to convince Shinji.
Shinji’s expression, which is now a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment, reluctantly nods his head. Averting his gaze anywhere but the pale boy. His face becomes increasingly red as seconds go by. The ashen-haired boy immediately pulls the flustered boy into his embrace again. His smile widening as he nuzzled his face into Shinji’s neck, pulling him closer by tightening his grip around his waist, legs tangling together.
Shinji could do nothing except heat up even more at the realisation that him and Kaworu are now pressed up against each other. He slowly wrapped his arms around Kaworu, being able to smell his shampoo which was extremely flowery-scented? It was nice though. He could only squirm as he felt the other’s hair tickling his neck.
Nagisa-kun I hate you!!
