Who: Rei, Shinji Ikari
When: February 15th
Where: Breakfast at the Ikari household
What: Rei and Shinji need to work out some of the issues that have been pushing them apart. What better way to do it than over a bowl of cocoa pebbles.
Warnings: Nah

[Cocoa Pebbles. One of the only meals that Rei can prepare without Shinji's assistance that doesn't turn into an absolute disaster. On any other morning should would have stormed into her brother's room and demanded blueberry waffles, pancakes, or french toast. But today she didn't feel like it, she just didn't have the energy. Especially not after how things have been lately, and definitely not after her seemingly endless fights with Kaworu. Shinji would certainly show up later to find Rei quietly digging into her cereal.]

You got a life and I didn't.

That's all that happened.

[neopianangst]

I don't know if I'd go that far...

Maybe like, one fourth of a life.

[talkshitgetsis]

What a comforting thing to say. Thank you, Shinji.

[neopianangst]

I just...I don't know. I feel like we're out of touch, and you're not the same as I think you are...

[talkshitgetsis]

You have more to worry about than just me these days, it's understandable. Everyone grows apart, right? It's normal.

[Except it kind of makes her feel sick but like she's going to tell Shinji that.]

How have I changed, Shinji? Tell me.

[neopianangst]

I feel like I don't know what to expect anymore.

[talkshitgetsis]

Are you scared because you can't read my mind anymore?

Sorry that I'm not acting as you want me to.

What do you want me to do about it?

[neopianangst]

Rei, you know what I mean...

[talkshitgetsis]

You don't like me anymore.
