I'm... not sure what you mean. [With a frown he finally slides onto the bench beside Kaworu.] Are you complimenting me...?

I am. Being adaptable is one of humanity's greatest strengths, after all.

[well, if you're just gonna make yourself comfortable here, he'll just return to playing even as he speaks.]

[He falls silent, listening as Kaworu's fingers float over the keys. It's kind of magical and for a moment he wishes the rest of the drama club weren't here... but that's exactly the kind of thinking he shouldn't be thinking, so.]

I miss you.

[Where those words had come from he has no idea, and even though it sounds ridiculous when he's sitting right beside Kaworu, they were still true. It probably has something to do with the music, making him feel all emotional or something.]

[for his part, he doesn't miss a single note. pale, spidery-long fingers continue to dance over the keys ever as he casts takuto a curious look.]

Is this that different from how things were before?

[He sighs. It's way too late to try to take his words back, and even if he tried, it'd only be a lie.]

Not really, no.

[But he's been trying to keep his distance, at least a little. He doesn't want to hurt Yako, and he doesn't want to hurt himself, either. And he might as well throw Shinji on the list of people this could potentially hurt.]

[~~shinji's kinda the lead of a harem anime, he'd understand.~~]

...You are speaking to me like normal, and you seemed to decide against that rule of no touching. This is already more than I had for most of my life in my own world, so perhaps I just do not know what I am missing.

[In some way, it sounds just like Kaworu just asked him to show him all that he's missing out on. Takuto awkwardly sidles away just a little, for safety's sake.]

I guess if it's all the same to you, then that's okay.

[Obviously Kaworu is near the top of the list of People Takuto Doesn't Want To Hurt. So if Kaworu doesn't think anything is off, then perhaps Takuto is finally doing something right.]

I've been meaning to thank you, by the way, for the other day. When Yako was missing.

[he's already been awkwardly bothering your girlfriend for info about other fun physical things humans do together, so. yeah, he knows about the oral sex.]

Thank me?

[for a moment, he looks more perplexed than anything about why that would be necessary. but then, yako had kinda been mad at him, so maybe it was expected for him to have not helped?]

That is not necessary. I would do anything for Yako.

[Takuto's cheeks turn a little pink.]

I meant... I meant what you did for me. I was a total mess.

Ah.

[the song coming to its conclusion, he turns a gentle smile on takuto.]

It is alright. I would do anything for you as well.

[His blush darkens and he really tries to not look at Kaworu. That's kind of impossible when he's saying these things, though.]

That... that means a lot to me.

[Takuto used to think he'd do anything for just about anyone, but he's realized that in fact there are only a few very special people that fall into that category. Kaworu's probably one of them, though.]

[the temptation to just launch into some bright, joyous piece is pretty intense, but there are people practicing lines and stuff and kaworu is considerate if nothing else. the piece he slips into instead doesn't really match his mood, but it's pleasant to play and not as obstructive.

the smile never slips, though, and he settles for indicating his happiness with a gentle bump of his foot against takuto's under the bench.]

Edited (wow that was not at all complete what happened) 2013-05-31 00:09 (UTC)

[He's really doing his best to not relax comfortably against Kaworu's side. For one that might interrupt Kaworu's lovely playing, and for two that's probably not the greatest of ideas all things considered.

And then he gets that foot nudge and just... sorry, but it's time for him to do something else. He stands a little too quickly.]

...Did you want to practice some scenes?

["a little too quickly" enough that he abruptly stops playing, looking up at takuto with mild confusion.]

Ah...alright, if you would like.

[Takuto mostly just looks embarrassed. He hadn't meant to cause Kaworu to stop playing, but... rehearsal is what they all came here for, right? And things weren't going to get easier for anyone if he continues sitting there on the piano bench.]

Since we have someone to replace Feferi now, we can work on some of the scenes that involve Pufferfish.

[Not that Kaworu's been to any rehearsals since BREW sent Feferi home. But still. The truth is that most of the scenes that involve either Takuto or Kaworu's part need a Princess Pufferfish.]

Yes.

[except. oh, dang.]

...Your friend is quite a bit taller than I am.

...I don't think that will really be a problem.

[Since Kaworu is playing the villain and it'll just add a bit of comedy.]

kaworu and I have similar tastes in music. I actually know all of these songs and love them dearly

aaaaaa i'm mostly just relying on google and the eva 3.0 soundtrack

clearly I need to get in on this latest eva development

only if you wanna see 106 minutes of homosexuality followed by despair and exploding heads

... you know I'm not really sure how to respond to that :|

rebuild confirmed for timeloop sequel. i could technically canon update kaworu to that...

it's ok, i'd want to wait for 4.0 first and god knows when that will come out...

it probably really will be like four years or so ; ;
