20. A Thing About Her
"You're doing it again," Kensuke needled.
"…huh? Doing what?" blurted Shinji, startled.
"You're staring," Toji cut in. "You've been doing it a lot lately – ever since that last battle."
Shinji scowled indignantly at his two friends. "No, I wasn't!" he protested.
"You were! Everybody's noticed!" Kensuke replied gleefully.
"You've really got a thing for her, don't you?" Toji teased.
Annoyed, Shinji ignored the two, turning his attention back to his laptop. After a moment though, he surreptitiously glanced over to where Rei sat quietly gazing out the window.
"You did it again!" Kensuke laughed, as Shinji flushed a bright crimson.
