Your soft Touch - Part One </HEAD> Your soft touch.

An Evangelion fanfiction by ShinRyuKen

Disclaimer: I don't own Eva or any of the characters, Gainax does... I think. I don't really pay much attention to these details. Anyhow, this fic is set during Episode 16, only the story is changed a slight bit.

Chapter 1 - Now I see

Asuka Langley Souryu sat in a chair in Misato's apartment, where she now lived with Shinji. Her head was resting on the table next to her, and she tapped her finger on the table as she tried to think of something to do. Then she had a thought,

"Hey Shinji, you wanna kiss me?" she asked in an innocent voice.

"Huh, uh what?" Young Ikari was stunned, to say the least.

"Kissing, you know. Have you ever done it?" Asuka questioned Ikari further.

"Uh uh." Shinji shook his head.

"So let's do it!" Asuka grinned and sat up straight.

"Ugh, but why?" Shinji jumped slightly.

"I got nothing else to do." Asuka said sweetly, as if trying to seduce young Shinji.

"Uh, that's your reason?" Shinji replied, "You're weird."

"Afraid to kiss a girl on the anniversary of your mom's death? Is she watching from up in heaven?" mocked Asuka.

"That's not it..."

"Or are you scared?!"

"I'm not afraid, pucker up!"

"Right, did you brush your teeth?"

"Yeah."

"Then here I come..."

Asuka and Shinji leaned in towards each other, their lips lightly brushing together. They closed their eyes and Shinji's face turned a little red as Asuka planted her soft red lips against his. Shinji wrapped his arms around Asuka's waist and let a small moan escape his lips. Asuka reached up and put her arms around Shinji's neck to pull him closer. After kissing for what seemed an eternity, Asuka pulled away, a small smile crossing her face. It was a smile unlike any Shinji had ever seen on Asuka, her eyes were watery, her smile was small, yet stood out quite profusely, and her face was flushed. Shinji himself, looked rather much the same. Neither of them said anything for a afew minutes. That is, until someone broke the silence.

"Well, aren't you going to say anything, Baka?" Asuka laughed as she spoke.

"Asuka..." Shinji sighed and hugged her close to him.

The next day,

Asuka and Shinji lay together in Shinji's bed, their arms wrapped around each other. Both of the children had a smile on their faces, and both were sound asleep. The front door to the apartment slowly open and Misato Katsuragi stumbled in, still a little tipsy from all the drinking she had taken part in with Kaji. She fumbled for the light switch then carefully attempted to regain her footing.

"Sh... hick...Shinshji?" Misato mumbled.

"Oshka?"

"They must be asleep." Misato thought and walked into Shinji's room, only to find the two teenagers sharing the same bed. Misato was a little stunned, especially considering Asuka's usual reaction to Shinji was to hit, slap or yell at him.

"Aww... ain' dat sweet." Misato said then wandered into her room, then slumped down on the bed and fell into a light snoze.

Afew minutes after Misato returned home Asuka's eyes slowly openned then she blinked afew times, to adjust to the dim light coming through the window. Asuka rolled over to face the sleeping Shinji, and propped herself up on a shoulder. She gazed upon him for several minutes, brushing his hair aside, caressing his soft skin, admiring his flawless face. Shinji stirred slightly and openned his eyes, sighing contently.

"Morning Baka." Asuka chuckled.

"Mmmm... Mornin' Asuka." Shinji said in a sleepy but happy tone.

"You know what Shinji?" Asuka asked.

"What?" Shinji replied.

"You look really cute when you're asleep." Asuka laughed and pecked Shinji on the lips, then got up and stretched her arms and legs.

Shinji traced lines around Asuka's body with his eyes, absorbing it all in, she was indeed very beautiful. More so than he had first reallised. "I've never seen Asuka like this," Shinji though, then grinned, "But it sure beats getting slapped and yelled at."

"Shinji, I've discovered something else to..." Asuka stated.

"What might that be?" Shinji asked as he climbed out of bed.

"I... I think I'm in love with you..." Asuka claimed, with a serene look on her beautiful facade.

"And I, you. My beautiful Asuka..." Shinji said came from behind her, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her softly on the neck.

Only one thing, can quench my thirst,
And this thing is my only desire,

It's the only thing, I trully want,
with all my heart and soul,

I cannot live without it,
I think I'd rather die,

This is all I care about,
so please just honor this wish.

Please don't let me go without,
You warm, soft touch...

Well, I know it wasn't very long, but that's because I was eager to finish the first part. If I get a good response, I will continue, and the chapters will be longer. If not, I see no point in writing anymore. So please, just tell me what you think. :D

Oh, and the poem above is one writen by myself afew months ago, which inspired me to write this fanfic. And I know alot of people don't like Asuka at all, let alone the Shinji and Asuka pairing, and if you want to flame me, it's welcome!
