What do you sleep with?
Twitter Drabble #8
Somehow Mari found herself in the middle of a discussion about "What would you do if a crewmember was a NERV-spy and would break into your room?". It was silly and yet something they needed to do after the rest of the night had been so unecessarily stressful thanks to a false alarm on Wunder that left the ship's crew deprived of the precious sleep they needed to function like proper human beings. So she didn't mind and listened as Sumire began bragging about sleeping with a knife under her pillow.
The British girl's eyes flicker over into the direction of Senior bridge-bunny Maya, who was chuckling like crazy. "Ha! I sleep with a sword under my pillow!", the woman proudly anounced.
On the other end of the table Ritsuko, who had been quiet for the most part, finally quipped, "Can confirm!"
It was only then that Mari saw her chance to have some real fun. "Weak.", she said flatly without looking up.
"Yeah? Then what do you sleep with?", Maya demanded.
Mari let her gaze wander towards the other end of the room to a dark corner where a very special princess had been sitting the whole time. The brunette kept her eyes on the figure sitting in the shadow, her face turned into that smug trademark smirk she was so known for. Finally she looked Maya in the eye and simply said, "Asuka."
Maya's eyes grew wide, some people snickered or out right laughed at this, but the best reaction was of course coming from Asuka herself who ended up spitting her entire drink across the room, coughing loudly.
"Damnit Four-eyes!", she yelled mortified.
Finally even Mari broke and began to laugh.
Seems like some truths can be funny.
