Yui was getting tired of hearing a Three-year old Shinji cry out for someone to tell him a story. but at the same time, she didn't want to get up from bed. She had found such a good spot!

"Dear, could you at least make one attempt at being a parent? And. Read. Shinji. A. Story..." Yui asked through her teeth.

"I do not see why. The child will have to learn to sleep with out someone telling him a story." Gendo flatly stated.

Yui's eyes narrowed.

"On the other hand, it is a perfect time to bond with Shinji." Gendo said, while making placating gestures and backing away slowly to leave the room.

-OoOoO-

"Wanna hear a story! Wanna hear a story!" Shinji cried.

Gendo walked in and sat in the chair beside Shinj's bed.

"Yui requested that I tell you a story. What story do you want to hear?" Gendo asked with a slight grunt.

"Rashomon! Rashomon!" Shinji said with a cheer.

"That's a movie. And you're too young. What else?" Gendo asked.

"Uhh..." Shinji was interupted before he could say anything else.

"Never mind. I shall make one up." Gendo said with a huff.

Shinji leaned in closer to hear better.

"Once there was a whiny boy who asked for a story. He was so whiny, everyone died. The end." Gendo quickly stated.

Gendo then got up and left the room.

It was a few seconds before Shinji spoke.

"That didn't help at all!"

-OoOoO-
