"I had to beat you up, new kid." "You pilot an EVA? That's so cool!" "Shinji... I love you." *** That's the last time I kiss you to pass the time. Asuka slaps me. She goes into her room. I wait, then follow her. She's lying on her futon, mouth wide, breathing evenly. Her arms are spread out. She has on a loose shirt that's not buttoned up. Her breast is showing. It is a small creamy mound with a pink point. She opens an eye. What are you looking at, Shinji? I'm not looking at anything! She cocks her head to the side and sits up. Her shirt falls off her shoulders. It is far too big for her. It looks like one of Kaji's. She yawns. She gets up and walks out to the kitchen. Shinji, we're out of milk. Misato doesn't usually get milk, just beer. I turn around. Misato is in the main room, holding groceries. Shinji, help me put these away. I walk into the kitchen. Pull out the eggs and vegetables. Put them in the refrigerator. Don't put the fruit in there, Shinji. I'm not, just the vegetables. Misato puts the bread away. Here, Shinji, have a banana. I peel and eat the banana. I throw the peel away. The phone rings. I pick it up. Is Misato there? Yes, just a moment. I turn around. Asuka stands there, stamping a foot. Shinji, you didn't tell me about the homework assignment. I didn't know about any homework assignment. Why are you holding the phone, it's beeping. Ern-ern-ern-ern. I hang up. Where's Miss Misato? She's probably at NERV, working. Asuka flops down in front of the TV and turns it on. Why is it that there's only news on? I don't know. Ah! It's so hot. She peels off her shirt, leaving only a thin tank-top. Sweat makes it stick to her skin. Shinji, get me some water. I walk into the kitchen and pour a glass of water. I walk back to the main room. Ayanami is standing inside the door. Ikari, we have to go to NERV. She leaves. I follow her out the door. Shinji, where are you going at night with a glass of water? I turn around. Misato is in a night- shirt, yawning. She stretches, and her panties show. They are white against her skin, but darker in the center. She scratches her hip and pulls them down slightly. Shinji, go get Rei. Yes, Miss Misato. I walk downstairs and to Ayanami's apartment. Kensuke stops me. I've got some pics off of the internet of the US' new superiority fighter, Shinji, wanna see them? I look at the papers in his hands. One picture shows the cockpit of the fighter. It looks like the inside of an EVA entry plug. Shinji, we're going to test you're response to multiple hostile targets. Yes, Miss Akagi. On the count of three: one, two, three! The EVA leaps forward, pulling out the vibro-knife. The first target pops up. I strike out. Touji falls to the ground with a grunt. That's a pretty good punch, new kid. He gets up, wiping blood off of his face. He slaps an arm around my shoulder and spins me around. Pushes me through a door. What are you doing here, Ikari? Umm... Miss Misato wanted me to give you you're new I.D. card, Ayanami. Thank you. Ayanami is not wearing anything besides a towel. It is around her shoulders, and covers her breasts. Her skin is so light, it is almost white. Ayanami? Yes. Did you just get out of the shower? Yes. She begins to put on her school clothes. Why can't they have separate locker rooms? I finish tying my second shoe and stand up. Don't turn around, I'm not ready yet! I slump my shoulders. Miss Misato gently places her hands on them. Shinji, it wasn't your fault, you couldn't have done anything to help Touji. But why? Why did you do that to him, Father? I don't have to answer that. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to stop the tears. Hands grab my hair and jerk me up. Shinji! We're going to be late for school. I get up and rush to the bathroom. It's locked. Pen-pen comes out dragging a towel. I clean up and put on my clothes. Misato is in the kitchen with a beer and a toothbrush in her mouth. Morning, Shinji, why are you up so early on a Saturday? Touji and Kensuke want to show me something. I look at the pictures they've taken of Asuka. She's naked in one of them. There's a small tuft of red-blond hair between her legs. Shinji! I told you not to come in here! IÔm sorry! I run out of the apartment and look outside. Kensuke and Touji look up at me. I see naked fear in their faces as they lie there between the fingers of the EVA. The Angel attacks. It strikes Ayanami's EVA and punctures through the side. She cries out in pain. Ikari! You should apologize for hurting her! I open my mouth to say something. I didn't know it would hurt the first time, Shinji. Why did you do that to me? Asuka slaps me. I feel tears in my eyes. I'm sorry, Shinji, but don't blame yourself for what happened to Touji. You couldn't have saved him. Misato hugs me tightly. I inhale to say something, and get the smell of her hair. Ayanami, your hair smells sweet. Have you ever done it before, Ikari? She begins to gyrate on top of me, sliding up and down. She stops moving suddenly and lays down beside me. She gives me a tight embrace. Shinji, I'll always be with you, no matter what. Mother what are you doing here? She gives me a sad smile and pulls my head to her breast. I open my mouth and suck on it a little. I love you, Shinji. But what about the EVAs? Miss Akagi rolls away from me and sits up. Her hips sway slightly as she walks to the door. Her skin shines with sweat. I get up and follow her. What is that thing, Shinji? I look down where Asuka is pointing. I have an erection. I can't get my plug suit on. Here, let me help you. She kneels down in front of me and holds me close. Please don't cry, Miss Misato. She sniffs and stands up. She reaches up and wipes her face. A milky-white substance drips from Ayanami's fingers. Ikari, we must clean up now. She walks into the shower. I follow her. I soap up my body. The water in her shower stops. Hands massage my back. Kaoru presses against my backside. Shinji... *** Kaoru's eyes open, lids fluttering to get used to the light. He stands up and walks over to Shinji. He reaches around and into Shinji's shirt, tracing fingers over a slim chest. He brings his head close to Shinji's ear and breathes on it for a few moments. "Shinji... I love you."
