[ so apparently people are coming back from unknown places with unknown injuries?? fantastic. also i forgot entirely during the party but chrono's transformation this week consists of transparent skin or thin glass along one arm, his upper chest, neck and one cheek. underneath, there's ticking clockwork in place of flesh.
he approaches kaworu with the trepidation one might have sneaking up on a cat known to scratch. ]
You feelin' alright?

[Has six pairs of wings sprouting from his back! He turns and looks at Chrono, apparently not concerned by his appearance.]
Fine. Just a little itchy.
Fine. Just a little itchy.
[Kaworu is sitting in the common room, just outside the bathroom, wrapped in a blanket, looking a little gray in the face.]
[ oh good, we're all coping this evening. chrono's got his little dragon squishmallow from their welcome box shoved into his shirt and a bag in his hand as he walks in. he looks a little surprised to see kaworu there.
after a moment's hesitation, he sits down across, reaches into the bag, and pulls out a wrapped piece of white chocolate to offer. ]

[Kaworu's also got his little angel plushie. He glances up Chrono and feels surprisingly happy to see him. The corners of his mouth quirk into a soft smile anyway. Except when he sees the chocolate his face turns a little more gray and he waves it away in a "you keep it" gesture.]
[ chrono tries to offer a smile back, but it doesn't quite land. the rejection of the snack in more than understandable, though - he felt the same way about eating right now. the chocolate goes back in the bag, which ends up on the floor.
so. here they sit. after an awkward moment, he reaches over and pokes the little angel plushie on top of it's head. ]
You got a pretty cliché one, huh?

[He looks down at the precious little angel plush but with wings and shrugs.]
I guess it's supposed to look like one of my brethren. What is yours? A lizard?

No.
I'm not. I just look like one but I'm not human. And I was raised knowing I wasn't.
[He tilts his head, not quite understanding the concept of a dragon. It looks like a lizard to him...]

Yes, my body that was created during the experiment that birthed me.
Angels.
[he sounds tired and drops his face into his plush like he doesn't want see Chrono's expression.] Does that bother you?

[He glances up and searches Chrono's face for any falsehoods despite not having any inclination towards suspicion. He fears rejection in this moment and he can't explain why.]
And it doesn't matter to you?
And it doesn't matter to you?
Of course it does. It's who I am. It's the reason I exist at all.
[Just getting this rolling because I have been so slow. Kaworu and Chrono are somewhere in the house of mirrors when the dark glass starts showing the outlines of various shapes, like looking in a room in the middle of the night. A furnished apartment in an impersonal way and two boys in a bed. It must be a memory].
[ thankyou my hero
oh this is. uncomfortable. for like a lot of reasons. shinji's panic attack is a little too raw and familiar, and pretty much every single action from then on is the wrong thing to say or do on both sides.
but he's here with kaworu, who... well, even this short memory explains a lot. ]
...you know you shouldn't have done that, right.

I was trying help. He'd passed out before doing that and my apartment was not near a doctor.
[He seems to genuinely think this and that he had no real ulterior motives.]

...I had so many strange feelings inside me. Things I didn't even know I was capable of feeling. I felt like I could drown in them. I had to understand why I felt so happy when I touched him.
[It's called toxic yaoi, Chrono.]
