Hello, you've reached Kazuhiko Amamiya. I am unable to come to the phone right now, but if you leave you leave a brief message, someone will get back to you.

Ah- Shinji, I, uh-

...

Kazuhiko, if you pick up, can you leave a message for Shinji to call me?

I need to talk to you, Shinji. It's... not urgent, but, uh. Well. Just call me.

[call back]

[lucycoded]

[Ring ring~]

[ysobritish]

[He lets it ring for a moment before picking it up.]

...hello?

[lucycoded]

Hey.

[ysobritish]

[HE IS NOT READY, DAMMIT.]

Shinji! Ah, you... got my message then. [He clears his throat awkwardly.] Good. Uhm.

...have you spoken to Yaha recently? [Since Yaha was going to bring it up to him.]

[lucycoded]

[Get your body ready for this Liquid.]

I did, and I called you back. [Said mockingly.]

I went to see him, actually.

[ysobritish]

Right. Ah- did he... say something about me. To you? About a conversation we had recently?

I-in fact, never mind! [Oh god so awkward. He forces himself to sit up straight while he speaks, gaining a tiny note of confidence. If nothing else, Shinji doesn't sound any worse than usual, not that that would be possible.]

I... wish to ask you to rendezvous with me a little.

[lucycoded]

We talked about you a little, yeah.

[ . . . ]

Are you asking me out on a date?

[ysobritish]

...yes. Yes, I am.

[Goddammit, Shinji, you cannot make this easy on him can you?]

[lucycoded]

[Just a pause.]

[ysobritish]

J-JUST ANSWER ME! Yes or no?!

[lucycoded]

Eh, there's no real reason to say no.

[ysobritish]

...really? [And just like that, there's relief somewhere in the back of his mind.] Well- well, good!
