Shinji followed Lena with only his eyes still, shifting to turn to her though he kept his head down. I suppose that would make things easier, you're right...he said, his tone low, rather different from his typical ways.

Lena sighed slightly and tilted Shinji's head up by his chin, to look him at him properly as she spoke "I still love you, and I always will... I just need to know why that doesn't seem to be enough...."

Shinji let his head fall to the side as he looked to Lena, his hair sort of covering one eye. He looked to her a long, silent moment while he considered what she said. Honestly...I wish I knew so that I could share that. His voice brought a slight chill to the air, his tone even, lacking most emotions that she'd been able to find in him.

Lena sighed, and stared down at the floor, her arms wrapped around herself, she was unable to think of anything to say.

Shinji let his eyes close a moment while he thought. He tried his best to pull some sort of logic from his actions, but he couldn't seem to do so. He loved Lena. He loved her with all of his heart. So why -should- he need to seek out others? This answer, unfortunately, he couldn't seem to find. The closest thing he could find to an answer would be his parents and their influence on his subconscience while he was young.

Lena sat silently for a moment before slipping down off her stool, to move back behind the bar.

Shinji opened his eyes and watched Lena move back around the counter. He didn't have any words to offer as comfort, so he kept silent, pondering.

Lena grabbed a bottle of water, once behind the bar, before slumping back down on the stool she kept behind the bar. She felt like drinking to forget all of this, but knew that wouldn't help anything. Looking to Shinji, she fidgeted with the cap on her bottle as she asked "what are you thinking...?"

Shinji tilted his head, still looking to her as he continued to ponder a possibility that came to him. Maybe...he started, shifting slightly to fold his arms over his chest and sling one leg over the other, his boot thudding against the counter's wall. Maybe the reason I'm so drawn to her, is because in a way, she's a lot like you.

"how so..?" Lena asked, continuing to look at Shinji as she waited for a response.

Shinji shrugged before shifting forward, letting his boots rest on the floor and his elbows on the counter, his head hung slightly as he shook his head. No...you're right...maybe that's not quite it. He sighed, unsure now what it could be other than that she seemed interested and it turned him on.

Lena sighed and stood from her seat, she tilted his head up some and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before saying "well, you know where to find me whenever you figure it out...." she brushed his cheek with her hand before moving from behind the bar and starting toward the door.

Shinji sat rather clueless as she moved away from him, but quickly stood and grabbed her hand, turning her to face him before she could leave. Lena...he breathed, as though he'd ran a hundred miles to get to her.

"yes..?" she said, biting at her lip as she waited for him to say something.

He sort of just gazes to her a moment, leaning close to kiss her but stopping himself, letting his eyes fall shut. I'm sorry...
