the last thing shinji remembers is date's face. he remembers it clearly, because he's not sure that he's ever seen the man look so unhappy. the rest, though, is very much a blur-- honestly, even the tail end of the somnium is kinda …

oh, right. that was the whole problem. he'd stuck around in somnium a few seconds longer than their strict 6-minute limit that pewter is ever so fond of reminding them about. he hadn't expected date to care so much, though. hell, he seems like the type to push that boundary himself. shinjiro faintly remembers exchanging a few words about his decision-making skills before … nothing. it all goes dark after that.

anyway, where the hell is he? now that his eyes-- no, his eye. where'd hamuko-- ? whatever. now that his eye is a little less blurry, shinji realizes he's never seen this place before in his life.

“ wh're…? ” god, his head aches. “ date? ”

a dive bar that smells like smoke and regret. except its just date finding shinji at marble

in his defense, how the hell was he supposed to remember that date likes to come to this specific bar? shinjiro hadn't even really spared a glance at the sign when he walked in, the name being significantly less important than the fact that it's an establishment that serves alcohol ( and will let him smoke inside, as a bonus ) . sure, maybe the guy has mentioned it before, but his superior's preference for bars isn't something shinji's dedicating a whole lot of brain power to remembering.

it's his loss, though, because he turned his head when date walked in. they made eye contact. the knowledge that an 18 - year old has absolutely no business patronizing marble is just floating in the air between them, waiting to be recognized.

shinjiro promptly turns his head in the other direction and elects to simply ignore him. maybe he'll go away? ( yeah fucking right. )

@itoai

it's reached a point where consciousness, for shinji, is little more than momentary bursts of vague awareness - usually whenever date forces him to try some soup or medicine or whatever. maybe he spends more time awake, but if he does, shinji doesn't remember it. hell, even the moments where date interrupts his blissful nothingness aren't much more than a blur - and that's a damn good thing, because even through the haze, shinji is intensely aware of just how miserable he feels. if he were more alert, it'd probably be even worse.

anyway, date woke him up again, and he's evil for that. very, very evil. shinji's stomach is protesting. shinji's head is protesting. everything hurts. everything's protesting. he's hot and he's freezing cold, his hands won't stop shaking, he can barely keep his head up – which means date sat him up at some point, and he sure as hell doesn't remember that.

“ gonna throw up on you if y' keep doin' that, old man … ” he's just muttering for the sake of it, paying no mind to what he's saying. “ stop givin' me all th' medicine … other kids're gonna need it. y'know how the sick always goes around … ”

can i get a mizuki end date in the hospital room shinji reaction

he doesn't say a thing - barely even looks at date - until mizuki falls asleep. it's been such a stressful day, a stressful week, for her that he doesn't dare try to wake her up, regardless of the odd hour. midday naps are the least she deserves.

but the problem is, once she's snoozing away at his bedside, the room is quiet. not silent, ‘cause this is still a hospital, but quiet all the same; devoid of mizuki’s voice encouraging the stupid old man to wake up already. boss had been the one to recommend talking to him, to try to drag him out of wherever his mind has gone - and then she'd looked at him.

she didn't need to say anything to him.

but now that he's as alone as he's gonna get ( he wouldn't dare try to remove mizuki from date's side ) , shinjiro's throat feels dry. the words won't come. he just stares at the older man, his hand idly rubbing mizuki's back as it has been since before she dozed off. he stares, and nothing changes. he rubs mizuki's back.

“ didn't you hear her? ” his voice cracks. “ she's worried sick about you. wake up already, asshole. ”

his hand is shaking. he has to grit his teeth to keep any more emotions from slipping out. ( when did things get like this? when did date turn into the sort of person he'd cry over? why is he here, at date's bedside, sitting next to his basically-daughter like there's a space for him? like he belongs in whatever fucked up semblance of a family they've concocted for themselves? why did boss look at him like that? )

“ you don't get to just leave her. you're all she's got. ” his words shake. “ you're the only family … mizuki's got. ”

he hates him. really, truly, shinjiro hates him.
