Do you envy Nagisa-chan?

     ❝ NAGISA-CHAN?

               No, I don’t… ❞

               He has to actually stop and ponder that a moment. He’s never considered the idea that he may envy her; his first thought is no. Nagisa is one of a few people who Shinji may call a friend — and one of the only who calls him a friend. If anything, perhaps she’s like a sister. He’s never had any purpose, anything or anyone to look after, except for two: Rei Ayanami, the veteran who he didn’t realize until too late bore the weight of the whole Tokyo territory on her shoulders, and Nagisa Momoe.

               Nagisa brightens the room when she comes in, and being around her has always allowed Shinji to temporarily forget his own weight to carry. He enjoys seeing her. She’s the embodiment of innocence and purity.

               But perhaps that’s just it. He wants that for her; he’s glad that she appears to enjoy her life. But perhaps that’s just what it is he wishes he had.

               ❝ …Not a lot…though she’s lucky. I guess I just wonder sometimes what it’s like to live her life. ❞

               Envious of her. Isn’t that messed up?

            she tries her best to calm down her heart, but with the sudden impact of another bumping into her left her somewhat blindsided. while on the floor, her eyes lift up to see the other; hazel eyes reflecting the light she saw. 

               “        oh ! I’m sorry, Miss, I didn’t see you there.    “

without hesitation she scrambles to pick up the items lost by the girl, giving an apologetic look.

❝ i’m so glad i met you. ❞ - fromagis

►► PROMPT.

▐░▒▓ ►► 「  ɴᴏ. 03 ; 」

     SUDDENLY HIS EYES

               light up with surprise — the surprise of someone that has never heard those words strung together before. He looks a little more stunned than anything else at first, watching Nagisa and seeing sincerity in her face as she tells him this. The idea of someone enjoying his presence — as much as he enjoys Nagisa’s, the idea seems so far-fetched.

               But it’s clear in her face: she’s happy.

               The mild disbelief in Shinji’s features gradually melts, like he wants to smile, but it won’t quite come at first. But it does. For Nagisa.

               ❝ That makes me really happy, Nagisa-chan…th — thank you. I’m glad I met you too, you know. ❞

     HE TRIES TO

               suppress a chuckle. It doesn’t work. Nagisa’s puns just get cornier with every one that leaves her mouth…but her corny professions of love will never cease to surprise him.

               ❝ …I love you too, Nagisa-chan. ❞ He’s grinning, even though the words still feel so foreign on his tongue. ❝ That was a little cheesy, though, wasn’t it? ❞

               ( He has no idea what he just did. Don’t tell him. Or do. )

soulbetas replied to your post: “{{ I’m in a headcanon mood tonight…does anyone wanna ask me questions...”

screams nagisa!

There aren’t a lot of people that Shinji would go out of his way to protect. Nagisa is one of these people. It’s a combination of things that bring Shinji to this feeling of having someone to protect: Nagisa is young, she’s innocent, and she’s fighting a battle that no one her age should be fighting.

BUT HERE’S THE THING: she’s not as innocent as he thinks she is. She’s perceptive in ways he hasn’t even noticed yet, and he assumes that she just has this ideal life ( outside of witch-hunting, of course ) because she’s so happy. He tries to hide his problems from her, but she’s probably more aware of them than he believes.

It’s surprising how much they hide from each other on account of putting their best foot forward, actually. They both want to appear as this ideal person for each other, but the truth is that both of them have been confronted with struggles in their lives. Otherwise, would Kyubey have come to them?

One day, though, that’s probably all just going to crumble. They already have a nice sibling relationship going, but what they really need to advance it is just for one of them to break in front of the other. They need to have a real conversation as the people that they actually are. And honestly? Nagisa is probably mature enough to handle it, despite what Shinji may believe.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE I GUESS: please imagine them fighting witches together. Dream team. And let’s be real, Shinji and Kaworu are a package deal in this verse, so even better: imagine the three of them fighting witches together. The two boys have barrier magic, guns, and a chain whip between the two of them. Okay honestly this bullet point needs its own post eventually but just imagine them defending and Nagisa shooting bubbles. Kill witches get bitches.

Incoming shitty pun. " Hey Shinji-kun! Cello later! " - fromagis

▐░▒▓ ►► 「  ɴᴏ. 03 ; 」

     HE’S TRYING NOT TO LAUGH.

               It’s really not working. But it’s more because the pun is so bad than anything else. He just won’t say it.

               ❝ ❛ Cello later, ❜ Nagisa-chan. I wish I had a horn pun to answer with. ❞
