Having her run at him so quickly, caused a small bit of panic to bubble up as he moved to take a step back. Eyes wide, alert - unsure of what to really expect because usually when people charged at him it was never a good thing and though it was Fuuka he couldn't quite stop the way he tensed up in response.
But when he felt arms wrap around him, it was only then that he understood what she was doing. Something so normal, and yet here he was unsure of how to react to it. Hell, he couldn't even remember the last time someone even made the attempt to hug him, and the fact it felt so... out of place and foreign bothered him just the tiniest bit.
The worst part about it, though, was how easily she broke that pathetic excuse of a barrier he'd been trying to maintain this entire time he'd been making his way up here - with only a few simple words.]
You idiot. [Shinji's arms moved on their own then, pulling her close enough to try and hide the tears welling up in the corner of his eyes. Not wanting her to see, because if she did he might not be able to keep his voice steady anymore.] How can you just - after what Castor did to you - why, Yamagishi?
always come at me nerd
