The moment they heard the announcement, the school reporters mobilized.

They spoke to many students, and took down notes. First came the details.

"He just walked up to her desk and kissed her. And we were like all WHAAAAAAA!"

"And then when he pulled away, she got up and kissed him! It was so…disgusting."

"Hikari-chan couldn't even form words properly. And when that happens to Hikari-chan…well, if she couldn't pay attention in class…"

"When class started, it was like nothing happened between them. They didn't even look at each other until the bell rang!"

"And when they walked out, they were holding hands…so romantic."

After the details were the feelings.

"Wait…aren't they related?"

"I knew they would hook up! It's like a match made in heaven!"

"Well, I guess red-eyed freaks should date other red-eyed freaks."

"Ayanami is dating a boy?"

"Nagisa is dating a girl?"

"Who are they again?"

"How could she steal my white-haired bishie! WHY KAWORU! WHY!"

"Ayanami…though I've lost you, my love will live on!"

And then some closer sources.

"Well umm…she's like my long lost sister…and I think he's my best friend…so its nice, but its also kind of weird really. I mean, I'm happy for them but…um…I don't know."

"How could she have a boyfriend? Wondergirl doesn't even know what boyfriend means! He's just pitying her. Because we all know he's gay."

"While I'm happy the two of them are together, I also feel that the couple's very EXISTENCE is distracting people from class! I had to give just about everyone detentions due to distraction…including me."

And finally, the source itself.

"Yes, we are currently dating. Why would you find that of importance?"

"Does our relationship entertain you? Are your lives really that uninteresting?"

After which, the notes were taken together and an article was finally formed.

KAWOREI: ANOTHER IMPACT?

Predictably, circulation went up that week.

Inspired by a hilarious fan-art from FRESH, the website of a Japanese Evangelion fan artist. The picture in question has Kaworu walking over and then leaning down to kiss Rei while she's sitting at her desk. Then if you roll your mouse over the picture, you cut to the reactions of the class…which are predictable and yet still funny.
