So, @BG_Character_592 and I were discussing things, and the concept of late-night texting came up.
This is the spawn of that idea.

/At Least Some Years Later, where the Pilots Consuming Alcohol Would Not be a Legal Problem/
Misato Katsuragi stared at the five Evangelion Pilots with a madly twitching eyebrow. Of them, only Shinji Ikari and Hikari Horaki appeared contrite; Asuka Langley-Sohryu still appeared somewhat hungover; Rei Ayanami and Kaworu Nagisa, by contrast, appeared absolutely serene. "You
do know why I have you all sitting here, in my living room, right?"
A sound slipped past Asuka's throat that approximated a cross between a chugging combustion engine and a cat hacking the world's largest hairball. "
Glfghrnk."
Rei helpfully translated this as "we have our suspicions."
"For one, I don't know
how you found a bottle of Spirytus
192 proof-"
"Um, Asuka wanted to see if we could actually get Rei and Kaworu drunk," murmured Shinji.
"We told her that would be unlikely," helpfully said Kaworu. "Then Pen-Pen provided a tiny bottle with a substance no one was able to identify." Pause. "It smelled of peaches."
"And cashews," added Rei.
"Then Asuka-chan started using it as a base for mixed drinks, and..." Hikari flushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "We started getting...festive. I think."
Misato's eyebrow twitched harder. "
-but, do you five realize what you got up to?"
"
Huliknjr," grunted Asuka.
"Vaguely," translated Rei. "For the record, Kaworu and I have no memory of what happened after Pen-Pen's...addition. But the two of us woke up without a hangover."
"
So unfair," grumbled Shinji, briefly wincing as he rested his forehead in his palm.
Misato simply showed them her phone. "News flash: you five start texting. A
lot."
The four cognizant Pilots leaned in. Asuka wearily opened an eye to look.

(Time Stamp: 12:45 AM)
S: heeeey
A: heeeeeeey
H: why are we saying heeeeey?
R: Please. Enlighten us. A group text demands an elaborate explanation, so that the uninformed will be aware!
K:
S: there's this song. it describes me so well. maybe
A: ur sittin' next to me, just sing it
H: we cant sing while texting, that's rude
R: Truly, a most egregious breach of etiquette! You will simply have to type in the lyrics for us.
K: :/
A: great idea kawoooooooo
K:
H: omg that's so wrong nagisa-kun
R: I will educate him as to his folly later, in private. So please, continue on, Shinji ver Ikarison.
S: k...asuka
A: yeeeeeeeeeeees?
S: i ache for the touch of your lips dear. but much more for the touch of your whips dear. you can raise welts like nobody else, as we dance to the masochism tango
H: tmi tmi tmi tmi tmi
K: XD
R: Such a lyric would be more applicable to your relationship prior to the awakening of your ardor. Unless thou hast partaken of uncouth activities when no one else was around!
A: masochism is kinda in the job description of driving an Evanjellydonut i'm hungry
K: :3
A: brilliant idea, where can we get donuts
H: the penguin just brought us some
A: sweeeeeeeet
S: are we giving ourselves a drinking problem?
R: Oh Third Child, Second Impact gave everyone a drinking problem, and I'm afraid Third Impact was a poor substitute for an Alcoholics Anonymous rendezvous!
K: ^^;
H: i'ma see how toei's doing
A: you mean toejam
S: unsanitary
(Time Stamp: 5:30 AM)
Mi: What's with all the texting?
Mi: What the hell is going on?!?
R: Apologies, Commander! We had moved on to vexing others with our shenanigans. We shall see you later on this fine morning!
Mi: okay Rei, what's gone wrong
Mi: Rei.
Mi: REI

"...I am unusually erudite when inebriated," muttered Rei.
"...and I only speak in emoji, apparently," said Kaworu.
Shinji's face was beet red. "
What song was I texting?!"
Hikari winced. "
Too loud."
Asuka snorted. "
Msochst," she giggily gurgled.
"And I'm not the
only one you five texted, either," groused Misato.
