Twitter Drabble #7
It had been a peaceful day, birds were singing, the skies were clear and the citizens of Tokyo-03 were able to enjoy the wonderful warmth the sun gave off without any angelattacks.
Well most citizens did anyways since three of them were currently stuck at NERV HQ deep below the ground. Maya Ibuki, Shigeru Aoba and Makoto Hyuga had been used to this, to simply stay at the bridge that was sitting on top of the MAGI supercomputers. It had been their routine for months.
Of course being stuck down there on the lookout for any angels that might be coming Toyko-03's way also brought great boredom with it for the three - as Major Katsuragi called them - bridge-bunnies. Browsing the internet, reading and banter were often the only things that kept the young adults from losing their mind, alothough their banter often took very embarassing turns when it came to Maya's unrequited feelings for Doctor Akagi and Makoto's no longer unrequited feelings for Misato, for the young NERV-technichian somehow had been able to conquer the older woman's heart. He was quite sure that this is the happiest he had ever been. Misato made Hyuga happy and Hyuga made Misato happy, sure even she admitted that he wasn't the type she'd usually go for, but that made his chest swell with pride.
At the current moment the young man was busy reading a few pages of the newest chapter of a manga he recently found interest in when Maya's voice cut through his readings, "You're dating Misato now, right?"
All Hyuga did was nod while answering, "Yeah, why do you ask?"
Okay maybe he shouldn't have asked because now Maya turned around in her chair, looking directly at him, all her attention on him and it was quite frankly stressing Makoto out.
"Do you have any advice on how I could woo Ritsuko?"
The young man blinked.
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
And then he responded with the hard truth, "Just because I'm with Misato doesn't mean I know how I did."
"Come on, anything?"
"I don't have anything sorry-", Makoto was saying as a peeping sound from his console interrupted him. Immediantly he, Shigeru and Maya had switched from their banter and happy attitude to their serious ones.
"Alright guys it's a pattern orange, showtime," Shigeru called from his seat, Hyuga knew this was his signal to start the city's angelalert and within a short amount of time the bridge was on full battlestation.
A truly wonderful day in Tokyo-03.
