Don't own anything related to evangelion, period.
As the laughter died off, Shinji turned his face toward Misato.
"Ano Misato-san, is there something wrong?"
Sputtering, Misato grabbed Shinji's shoulders and yelled "Never ever scare me like that again, and just why are you laughing at a time like this!"
A small smile formed on Shinji's lips; "Because I think I have . . . found the truth"
Misato's expression, &)$! "Come again Shinji-kun"
Shaking from the cold, Shinji stuttured, "In inside, We'll talk about it inside, would you like some tea Misato-san?"
"Fine fine, but bring me a beer to, and you better explain yourself"
Sighing "I will I will" A few minutes later, the two roommates sat across from each other. Shinji took a long sip from his cup and looked up and across at Misato. She quirked a brow that said start explaining now!
Almost whispering, Shinji started speaking. "Why do you live Misato-san?"
Taken back, she thought for a moment. "And this has to do with the explanation?"
"Gomen, but hai"
"Nothing to be sorry about Shinji, just startled a bit, well lets see, you once asked me why I joined NERV, I said that I wished to avenge my father by killing angels, but thinking about the time I lost . . . softly after second impact, I came to realize that life is worth living no matter what happens, because you only have one life"
Softly, "I think I have found why my father lives, he lives for something that is lost and cannot be returned, he lives solely for my mother, and crying again she is dead"
Misato reached over to Shinji holding and comforting him. "We'll talk about it in the morning, go to sleep for now"
"Hai" She stood him up and walked him to his door releasing him gently. He stood there for a moment and slowly sat on his bed and lay down.
"Do you want me to shut the door Shinji?" Barely above a whisper "no, keep it open for tonight, goodnight Misato-san" He turned around and faced the wall.
sighing Misato made her way back to the table and sat down heavily. Sobbing she thought of what Shinji said, what she said, her past, and . . . Kaji, she broke down sobbing heavily. An hour later, after Misato had stopped crying and had fallen asleep, Shinji made his way to the kitchen. He stopped looked at Misato, then went back to his room. Moments later, he came out covering a blanket over Misato. He looked towards the balcony, the rain had stopped, and the gentle blue glow of the early morning made its way into the room. Opening the fridge quietly, Shinji made Penpen an early breakfast, then stopped. Thinking sadly, 'hes gone'. Putting the food away, Shinji tore a piece off a note pad and left a note to Misato, leaving it under her half-full beer. Making his way to the door, he turned back memorizing what he saw, then shut the door.
Review please.
