[Neon Genesis Evangelion] (PG)
Author's Note: Written for "Fic_promptly"'s Neon Genesis Evangelion, Shinji, warm woolly socks Set post-End of Evangelion, in the Neon Enoch Evangelion universe that I invented.
The world was so much colder now, colder than Shinji ever remembered it. The hotel where they'd holed up offered them shelter, and they'd collected firewood to burn in the fireplace in the main dining room. But at night, his hands and feet felt like they'd been carved out of ice. He tried to rub them and warm them up, but they got cold again while he slept.
Misato must have noticed: the next time that she and Fuyutsuki came back from the town with more supplies for the huddled group of survivors, she brought him a pair of warm-looking woolly socks.
"They might be a little big, but at least they're warm," she said, holding them out to him.
He took them eagerly, trying to keep from brushing her hand by accident. "Th-thanks, Misato. You noticed how cold I was?"
"It's pretty hard not to: everything is colder," she said. Then dropping him a wink, she said, "Unless you'd rather warm up in my sleeping bag."
"Ah, no thanks, Misato," he said, blushing. "The socks should be fine."
"Awww, you're no fun!" she teased, smacking his shoulder playfully before she went off to see about the rest of the supplies.
