Pretty funky story. I wanna see how it develops 8D
I think pretty much everyone's said about the expressions, so I won't bother. But gawd I do love Kaworu's face xD The colouring on Vodka's really smooth, it's just a shame you didn't follow it through with the rest of the characters.
Saying that it's still a great pic filled with a lot of awesome details, like the chair with funky legs x3 I can't help feeling a bit sorry for Val though D:

"you don't wanna give anything away?" Then what was that? *points to wall of text* XD
There was...something I was gonna say. Some criticism, something about Vodka and Ikari's anatomy...but I don't remember. I'm sorry! >_< But the coloring is awesome. You may wanna try looking into shading techniques, especially for these non-pinup-ish pictures. You already do some, I noticed, but only to make them seem more "round;" there's no sense of where the light's coming from, I mean.
...Sorry, that's really the best help I can think of right now. I can't recommend any particular tutorials to back me up here, so if you find a good one, let me know.
I don't really think there's much of a sense of urgency or shock at Vodka's actions. If the grapes really are so valuable, I'd expect Ikari to be sitting up straight, eyes wide, mouth open a little more...Think of how your face would change if someone were to offer you something of great value, and to offer so humbly. I think the same could probably apply to Valium in the corner. The big thing is that their eyes are still quite small, when really eyes tend to get bigger with surprise. Vodka's pose is great, and I think you nailed Kaworu's jealousy quite well.
Sorry, got a little too in-depth here. XD! I wanna repeat that the coloring's very nice, and I kinda want to see you try more shading, play around with the lighting. I know you're more than capable of it.

Well, their faces in the lineart were already kinda shocked, but not..."omgwtfbbq," for lack of better term. XD
Don't be afraid to mess up. Here's the deal: take a finished linart, nothing fancy, just whatever. Shrink it and print multiple copies on the same page. For each picture, choose a different light source. I recommend trying light from the front, from the back, from above, and from below. Remember, think of your picture as a 3D object, how it would react to changes of light, where the shadows would fall. You don't have to post your practice stuff; in fact, only post it if you've tried and can't figure out what's wrong. Other than that, be your own judge. I know you can do it, yo.

It's a simply gorgeous pic <3
All the colors and suns... xD I love the chair though. It looks like something Burton would come up with... I can see the legs moving and chasing something down -gigglesnort-
Poor Kaworu ;; He's ain't getting no love.
