He was just a selfish jerk out for a cheap feel, not anything like a real good man, like Kaji-san or S—" Asuka suddenly coughed violently and covered her mouth. 'Crap! You idiot! That was close!'

He was always there. And at some point, he stopped finding horrible things to tell her back. So he listened carefully and never interrupted. And whenever she looked at him he watched in amazement as her face transformed into something like love. The more terrible things she said the more he could see that she loved him. And the more she seemed to drink, the more things she was willing to freely share.
That's what ended it really. She was just drunk enough for the alcohol to be an excuse, but not quite enough for either of them to dismiss it as nonsense.

He broke away from her then and they both looked each other square in the eyes. Both their faces showed shock, but only Misato's showed fear.
"I'm sorry," she said and Shinji just stared at her and stared at her and stared.
"That came out all wrong," she said and it hurt how much he wanted to believe her.

It's stupid and petty."
