Asuka stared down at your sleeping form.

You, asleep in her bed. You stretched out, laying on your back. Asuka had never seen you so calm before. Usually you were stressed, or overwhelmed with piloting your EVA.

Now, you seemed calm. Peaceful.

Something in Asuka's heart shifted and she sat on the bed beside you. Normally she would've shouted and shook you awake, demanded you to get the hell off her bed and to stop being a perv. But..

.. she'd never seen you so peaceful before.

Asuka tilted her head, her intrusive thoughts demanding her to shake you awake, to scream and demand you to get away. She gently reached out and flicked hair from your brow, her own brows furrowing.

This was fine, right? Two teen EVA pilots, the same age and with the destined fate.
