Drabble the tenth: Kamio/Shinji
Since Kamio and Shinji had found out they were going to have a baby, something had been… different. Kamio wasn't sure what it was, but it was obvious enough to bother him--he'd even been sleeping badly because of it.
It wasn't until a month later, right before he drifted off to sleep one night, that he realized. He bolted upright and stared at Shinji, who just blinked at him.
"You're being quiet."
"Er--what?"
"You haven't been muttering at all since we found out about the baby. Why?"
Shinji pursed his lips and looked down at his stomach, then back at Kamio. "I didn't want to annoy it."
"You're only two months pregnant! It can't hear anything yet!"
"Oh." A pause. "Sorry."
Kamio groaned and fell back in bed.
"Why do you care? I thought you hated it."
"I do," Kamio said evasively, his eyes on the ceiling. "It's just weird, all right?"
Shinji smiled. "All right. I don't understand why Akira is getting so upset, but I suppose if it won't annoy the baby then I might as well. I never did look up how far along you have to be before the baby can hear, maybe I'll pick up that book, what's it called? What to Expect When You're Expecting, right, I'll stop by the library and get it tomorrow, and while I'm out…"
With Shinji's lullaby playing beside him, Kamio was pulled into unconsciousness. He woke up the next morning feeling more refreshed than he had in a month.
