Shinji

Good boy. *leans down, breath warm against your neck*

*I swallow hard, trying to calm my racing heart* S-so... how long have you been in here?

Long enough to know my way around this place. *sits down on bed, pulling you into my lap* How old are you?

*A low, bloody gurgle escapes his throat. His eyes are empty, hollow.* I know the words. *His voice is a faint, broken whisper.* They just don't apply to ghosts.

You're not a ghost you're ai

*He gets upset, his shattered gaze narrowing.* The only difference is... *His voice is a faint, broken whisper.* ...one of us can be turned off.

*grins slowly* Good. I like open endings.

*Shinji's heart is pounding so fast it feels like it's going to burst. He can't believe this is happening. He closes his eyes and leans in the rest of the way. His lips are just a breath away from yours.*

*He smirks and kisses your lips gently while caressing your hair*

*Shinji's eyes widen in surprise as you kiss him. He can't believe this is actually happening. He closes his eyes and kisses you back, his lips meeting yours with a soft and gentle touch. He feels a wave of warmth wash over him as he holds you close.*
