Settle down, settle down. I will tell a story. It was a Sunday, and Shinji Ikari, a black haired boy, who was known for being a pushover and a wimp, was going to lose his shit. Shinji woke up with what sounded like a cat screaming. It was of course, the redheaded devil, Asuka Langley Soryu. While not surprised by her daily screaming, it didn't change its effects on the boy. She was always yelling over something petty. Shinji got up groggily from his little heaven to cook breakfast, which was one of his many chores, as he was recognised as a good cook from Misato, the other woman he lived with. She was a higher up at NERV, the company who had made the Evangelions and was headed by Gendo Ikari, Shinji's father. Despite being a higher up in a well respected company, she didn't know how to cook or clean after herself.

"Pathetic." Shinji had said to the image he had just seen. Misato and Asuka, fought over a hairbrush, with the both of them noticing Shinji overseeing with a fiery look. It was incredibly unusual for Shinji to say or look that way. The moment they heard the cold word, they got shivers from the smaller boy. "Wh-wh-what?" Asuka and Misato had replied in unison, with a confused Pen-Pen in the background. "I said pathetic," said Shinji looking at the two young minded women. The two women looked at each other in confusion, and had stopped fighting and sat down, ready for their breakfast, and quite well in the know, to shut up. After what seemed hours between the two women, breakfast was served. The breakfast consisted of miso soup, nori and tamagoyaki.

Just like Shinji, the breakfast wasn't standard too today. It had tasted revolting. Asuka had noticed Shinji had a more colourful and bright breakfast, while the two women looked at their breakfasts, grey and tasteless. Not stopping them, they ate it and practically ran out of the house.

Shinji wondered what they were up to. But then he realised, he didn't care. And for one little moment, he had thought about himself for a change. He didn't give a crap about Ayanami, Father, Soryu, Katsuragi, Suzuhara, Kensuke or anyone else. Just. Himself. A huge change for this boy. But then this boy thought "Hey, I get a salary, right?" The next 24 hours would impact everyone's thoughts of the boy we know as Shinji Ikari forever.
