Ahhhhhhh, Shinji moaned as he got out of bed and did some stretching at exactly 5:00 so that he could take his morning shower and feed penpen(Misato's pet penguin that shes had for who knows how long now). Once he was done showering and got a satisfied wark from the warm-water penguin, he went into his room and got his trademark clothes out of his dresser( slacks with a belt and a white nerd shirt). He then went into the kitchen to make breakfast for him and his guardian(he had a particularly brutal argument with Asuka and Misato had kicked her out for the next 2 or 3 months). While thinking about what to make he heard a loud groan come from down the hall,'looks like she had a rough night', Shinji mused. "Hmm I should probably make some miso soup to help with the hangover ", Shinji pondered. Once breakfast was decided He started his dance-like movements in the preparation of breakfast. Once he was satisfied with the end product he heard the sound of the shower turning off and decided to set the table(and clean up last nights 'Misato drinking time') and lay the food on it. As if it was timed Misato came out in her usual black tank top and cut off shorts and practically floated off the ground at the smell of the exquisite meal she was about to indulge herself in." mmm that smells fabulous Shinji", she said as she came up to sit at the table."Oh hey, Misato, I made some miso soup to help with your headache"."aww you always know just what to make me Shinji", she said genuinely heart warmed at the boy's attention to the detail and care he put into everything he did for her. The boy blushed somewhat at this comment but didn't respond to it. They proceded to eat breakfast in mostly silence( mostly because they wanted to savor the flavor). Once they were done Shinji gathered up the dishes and brought them to the sink and starting cleaning(which caused Misato to tease about "cleaning pipes"). When he was done he noticed that there was no school and came to a horrifying realization. Quickly he bolted into the living room only to find that he was too late, already on the couch was a blob of purple with a penguin waddling next to the blob with startling speed and said blob was rapid firing fiercely through the channels. Resigning to his fate, Shinji sat on the other of the couch(he would've sat closer to the sentient blob but quickly decided against that action as penpen glared Shinji fiercely into his place on the other end of the couch) expecting to have to spend the next few hours of his day slowly contracting a disease from watching a sappy romantic comedy while the blob and the penguin giggled in delight at it, he decided that he'd rather fall back into the peaceful nothingness that was sleep. This dream, however, was anything but peaceful. In his dream, Shinji was a monkey dancing in a zoo to please a quickly growing crowd, the reason he was dancing was that if he stopped the visitors would begin chucking cans and other such litter at him. He wasn't sure how he knew what would happen, all he knew was that he could never stop dancing, but as the crowd grew, the harder they were to please and eventually...he couldn't go on. he had to stop and once he hit the ground he looked up hesitantly towards the crowd only to find...nothing, there was no one. no one to hurt him for quitting, no one to mock him for not being able to go on, but there was also no one to praise him. no one to say they liked or even just acknowledge his existence...and that was what scared him the most. being alone was horrifying to him. so he stood back up...and continued his dance. Shinji awoke from his dream in a state of shock... he couldn't even breath... all he could do for what seemed like an eternity...was cry. he cried silently into the comforting cushions of the couch. When he could finally think straight again he checked his surroundings and to his relief, Misato was nowhere to be found.'thank god, she didn't see me cry, I would have been teased to no end for that', he thought to himself lightheartedly. Once he fully got his bearings, back he decided to head into the kitchen and upon entering he found a note that read,'Dear Shinji, I've decided to go out for a bit. I'll be back around six(ill bring home something so no need to cook)Signed, your goddess, Misato. Chuckling at that last part, Shinji looked at the clock and noticed that it was five thirty pm. Knowing that she'll be home soon, Shinji decided to take a shower as his dream had left a hefty layer of sweat on him. Making his way into the bathroom Shinji noticed something in the mirror...his face had numerous sloppily drawn doodles of sardines, penguins and beer cans on it. Shinji didn't doubt for a second who the culprits were.'Those pieces of-', deciding not to finish that particular train of thought Shinji headed into the shower and turned on the water and was quickly embraced by the blissfully soothing warm rain coming down on to him. After a while, he heard the front door open and decided that it was time to get out of the shower. Though before he could retreat into his room to get a replacement set of his clothes, a certain penguin tugged at his towel causing it to fall to the floor...the ensuing comments that came flying towards all the way through dinner were, not inspiring, to say the least. When dinner was done a very irritated Shinji took the dishes to the sink for a cleansing, however, before he could commence said cleansing a drunk and weary voice came crawling from behind him." Shinjiiii I can't walkkkk, Help meeeeee". In his good heart, Shinji decided to help Misato to her bed(which apparently inspired her to make many comments about going to bed with her)when Misato was nice and cozy in her bed, Shinji went back into his 'sanctuary' and cleaned the dishes. When he was finished doing that he tiptoed back into his room, closed the door and turned on his sdat. Shinji's only hope was that he would dream peacefully as he wandered into his subconscious while listening to the wistful whims of Beethoven and Bach.
