[shinji breathes into the microphone, static erupting through the speakers in short bursts.  he sounds as if he's been pushed past the verge of tears and onto the brink of absolute panic, but he has to do this.  he has to.]

Kaworu-kun...he's gone.  It was strange that he was gone so early this morning, but I didn't think about it.  Now it's been hours and he's not back.  I called his job and his phone.  They haven't seen him and he won't answer.  All his things are here.  Even his violin is here.  He'd never leave without it.  I can't find him.  He disappeared.  Kaworu left.

[an audible gulp, a shaky sigh.] And I can't find him at all.  Tell me you've heard from him.

Please.

[what could be worse than ending up dead for no reason?

oocly, we'll find out soon, but ic-wise, shinji can't even imagine.]

I hope that's the case.

When he turns up again, I'm going to punch him. I'm just warning you so that you don't start whining when it happens.

[ she doesn't know whether she actually will or not. it's rare for her to lash out that badly at kaworu, and whenever she tries, he usually diffuses her anger. but she remembers shinji's reaction in the past to her verbal abuse of kaworu, and she doesn't particularly want to set off his rage like that again. she doesn't want him to get the wrong idea. ]

[his mood might be shit, but even in the depths of his despair, he can tell minatsuki doesn't mean she'll flat out deck the guy. he doesn't mean to be protective of kaworu; it's more of a side effect of the latter being the first person to ever openly say shinji belonged somewhere. (by his side.) minatsuki showed how she cared in a different way. where he shyly offered up kind words, she hurled insults--teasing, really. human hearts opened up to others in ways unfathomable to another. yet the result was the same. bonds that could not be broken.]

...don't hit him too hard.

[jailbirds]

That depends on what the idiot has to say for himself. The worse his explanation is, the harder I'll hit him.

[childrenoflilim]

At least don't leave a bruise.

[jailbirds]

I'm just going to hit him. It's not my fault if he's a delicate pansy and he bruises too easily.
