"Is this porn?"
Shinji made the most embarrassing noise he's ever made, quickly scrambling across the room to the twelfth division member, holding the book in front of her with two fingers as if it was infected.
"It's not porn! It's manga that Lisa lent me!"
Chessebelle held him at bay with her foot, pressing into his chest as he attempted to get around her and take the comic back. She turned her head this way and that to examine the rather busty girl in the panel, wondering why she didn't buy a larger shirt if the buttons would barely clasp around her chest. The Captain's gangly limbs won out this time, able to snatch the manga from her and bring it to his chest protectively.
"I was hoping you'd say it was porn." Her flat voice echoed in the room as she continued to clean up around his Captain's quarters, the meaning of her words taking Shinji a few extra seconds to process.
"Wait, it is porn!"
