Awoken by the song of morning birds, Shinji slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the ceiling. Soft, slightly Orange rays of light cascaded from between the curtains, shining downward onto his clean white bedding, and giving it a cinematic glow that reflected off and illuminated the whole room with a soft morning light.
He sat up, stretching his arms behind his head and giving his eyes a moment to adjust, before pulling himself together and preparing for breakfast (The breakast that he was going to make, since both Misato and Asuka had no cooking skills).
He inched forward, but before he could stand up he felt a strange weight anchoring him back into his bed from under his blanket. Startled, he threw his blanket aside in one swift motion, revealing a sleepy Kaworu nestled into Shinjis inner thigh.
Holy shit! How had he forgotten that Kaworu stayed over the night before, even more so that they both fell asleep in such an intimate position!? He attempted to yank his leg free, but it was no use because it seemed Kaworu was clinging to his leg with the strength of a Silverback Gorilla.
"Mmmm... noooooo....." Kaworu whined, his words muffled as hot breath puffed against Shinjis leg, sending shivers down Shinjis spine.
Dispite how much he wanted to kick Kaworu in his stupid face, he couldn't help but be hypnotized by Kaworus angelic appearance, something that seemed to happen very often to him dispite the disdain he felt towards him.
Kaworu opened his eyes and blinked until his vision was no longer hazy, his grey eyelashes fluttering against Shinjis leg as he slowly loosened his arms from him.
"Alright fine... I'll get up."
Shinji muttered something incomprehensible in return, and walked out into the kitchen to start his morning.
“Mnhh... hey… Where did all the beer go?” Misato grumbled, the smell coming from her clothes was unbearable. It was clear she had gone out last night, and almost just as clear that she had enough alchhol in her system to kill a child.
“ You're seriously starting the day with a beer? You need to sober up!” shinji said, tired of Misatos antics.
“ You didn’t answer my question…” Misato was inches away from entering an alcohol fueled rage. Seriously, why is she even asking him? its not like somebody stole them, and even if that were the case there was no way it could be Shinji. He, among all people was not stupid enough to even think about-
“ Oh, I apologize Misato San, me and Shinji borrowed some last night. I can go out to the store and buy some more for you, if you like." Kaworu butted in, which left the whole romm wondering when he even entered the kitchen in the first place.
“ WHAT???!!!” Misato and Shinji yelped in unison, Both of them grateful that they did not have a drink in their mouths to be spat out at the stupendous remark.
'so thats why I dont remeber anything from last night!' Shinji thought, a mixed sense of fear and despair in his mind as he imagined his punishment at the hands of Misato. Asuka, who had been sitting at the kitchen table, had started laughing Hyena style at Kaworus previous remark among the chaos.
“ Kaworu! Why would you say that?...” Shinji tried to lower his voice, but Asuka overheard him and started laughing even louder than before.
“...What?” Kaworu said with the innocent voice he uses when he gets scolded by Akagi San. By this point Asuka was on the floor crying from laughter.
That was the final straw. Misato shrieked in frustration, she stomped to her room and slammed the door like a toddler having a temper tantrum after being punished.
“ Oh my… I really am sorry, Shinji, I shouldn’t have said that. I seem to have caused alot of trouble, haven't I?"
Kaworu stood in the doorwway, reluctant to leave, but Misato would probably kill him if he did that.
“Yeah, you sure did." Shinji sighed, "but please dont worry about it... it was partially my fault anyway."
Kaworu smiled and turned to leave.
“W..Wait!”
“Hmm?”
“Uhh… What exactly happened last night?"
Kaworu smiled and chuckled lightly.
“ You don't have to worry about it.”
Kaworu winked and left, leaving Shinji confused and his face flushed, he was somehow more agitated by the fact kaworu wouldnt tell him than the fact he would throw him under the bus.
"Hehehe... Shinji, are you having any morning sickness?"
"SHUT UP ASUKA!"
