The Little Things That Matter

For N.Y.
19. A Thing About Him
As Rei was replacing the cleaning supplies in the classroom's closet, Hikari Horaki sidled quietly up to her.
"Um… hi, Ayanami," she murmured.
"Hello," Rei replied, her ruby eyes focused on her chores.
"I… saw you talking to Toji yesterday – on the roof," Hikari ventured hesitantly.
"Yes," was Rei's flat response.
The class rep frowned. "Would you mind… telling me what you were talking about?"
Rei turned to her, shrugging slightly.
"Ikari."
Hikari instantly brightened at this. "Oh… I see! You really have a thing about him, don't you?"
Beaming, Hikari practically skipped away, leaving a perplexed, blushing Rei behind.
