The kid's eyes widened as Shinji punched the shop owner repeatedly, wincing at the blood drops on the ground. "H-Hey, I think you should-"

"What!?" Shinji growled.

"N-NOTHING!" Naruto squeaked nervously.

Shinji glared at him before turning back to the shop owner who let out a shriek.

"Hiroki! That's enough!" Yasuhiro yelled.

"Who the FUCK is Hiroki!?" Shinji yelled back.

"You've caused enough trouble already, Shinji, we're going," Yasuhiro whispered, dragging the boy away as he sent apologetic smiles to the crowd.

"W-Wait!" The blond kid called.

Yasuhiro stopped.

"T-Thank you," Naruto grinned at them.

Shinji blinked before grinning back. "No problem! Oh by the way, what's your name?"

"Naruto Uzumaki, believe it!" Naruto smirked.

Shinji nodded. "Just great, follow us."

"Eh?"

"I said follow us."

"Where?"

"......Ramen."

"SURE!"


"....You're disgusting."

"I can't help it, I haven't eaten in days!" Naruto yelled with food in his mouth, some small bites landing on the table and Shinji's face.

Shinji's face twisted into an expression of disgust. "Where the hell is your table manners?"

"Clean freak."

"EXCUSE ME!?"

"Now, now, don't argue," Yasuhiro sighed.

"He is DISGUSTING!" Shinji yelled.

"He is stating the truth. You are a clean freak." 

"WHAT!?"

Shinji grumbled, knocking his chopsticks on the table repeatedly.

"Why though?"

"What?" Shinji shot an annoyed glare at Naruto.

"Why did you help me?"

Shinji's eyes widened.

Yasuhiro too stared at him, waiting for an answer.

Shinji has never, never helped someone voluntarily OR even willingly.

Yet today, he lashed out and attacked someone for his own sibling.

"How am I supposed to know?" Shinji grumbled.

You love him, don't you?

"Say, Hiroki, what do you like to eat?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know," Shinji answered.

"WHY DO YOU SAY I DON'T KNOW TO ANYTHING!?" Naruto yelled.

"Because I seriously don't know, is that enough for you!?" 

"NO!"

"You piece of- I'M GONNA RIP YOUR FACE OFF!"

"THAT'S CREEPY!"


"You're leaving so soon?"

"Of course, we have someone to visit," Yasuhiro smiled. 

"Y-Yeah...." Naruto muttered, looking away.

Shinji stared at him.

Something seemed to flash in front of him as his eyes widened.

He walked forward.

Naruto's eyes widened as he was wrapped into a hug.

"It's not like we're dying or anything."

Yasuhiro's eyes were wide in surprise too.

Shinji had never hugged anyone before.

Naruto's lips quivered slightly as he hugged back shakily.

His face looked rather.....weird, as he held back his tears.

Yasuhiro smiled softly.

Shinji let go gently before walking away next to Yasuhiro without a word.

What the hell did I just do.

"I didn't know you had this side of you, Shinji," Yasuhiro chuckled.

"Uh...huh," Shinji muttered, eyes set on the fence they passed by.
