001. Mistakes
Kensuke groaned in frustration, untangling yet another attempt at a bowtie, as he tried yet again to put the final touch on his tux for the formal ball Asuka and Shinji had invited him to, hoping he could get it right before he ran out of time and had to leave to pick up his date, praying Hikari didn't instantly start giggling at what he knew would be a messy knot around his neck.
002. Heartfelt
Hikari smiled, the expression soft and endearing as she reached out and gently pulled loose Kensuke's heartfelt attempt at a bowtie and reworked it into a neat and proper shape, leaning forward and giving him a peck on the cheek before taking his arm.
003. Fading Away
While they knew it would never truly fade, being able to reminisce about Touji without the sharp stab of pain at his loss was welcome, and they always poured an extra glass of sake for him on New Years.
004. Spirit
While gentler and more reserved than Asuka, Hikari had just as demanding and fiery a spirit as her redheaded friend, and Kensuke admitted he was as drawn to it as a moth to flame, only hoping Touji would approve and at the same time knowing he would want his best friends to be happy with him gone.
005. Choose
Looking back over her life Hikari knew the catalyst for all the things she was grateful for was the day she chose to befriend Touji and Kensuke, and even if she'd known all the times she'd suffer she would gladly suffer them again for the good things the three of them experienced.
006. Immortal
Kensuke gazed at his sleeping wife, taking in every flaw and perfection, glad for the gift Shinji had given his friends when he collapsed Third Impact, and through the centuries, even though Asuka and Touji had long since wandered to parts unknown, he always reveled in the fact Hikari had stayed by his side.
007. Open Your Eyes
Kensuke jerked awake, momentarily confused as to why before he heard the whimpering coming from the baby monitor on his bedside table, and after a quick glance to see Hikari was still sound asleep he got up and made his way into their son's room and scooped the softly crying baby out of the crib, and was soon greeted by watery brown eyes.
008. Electrify
"Kensuke," Hikari's voice drew him out of his daze, and he locked eyes with her for a moment from his position on the kitchen floor before turning back to the electric stove with dawning realization, "Next time just flip the breaker, I don't want you dead on my floor just because you helped me install the new oven."
009. Starlight
Whenever he had graveyard shift at NERV, Sub-Commander Aida always had a view of the Milky Way as seen from lunar orbit put up on the Main Display, the bright glow of stars filling the otherwise dimly lit Central Dogma with silver light.
010. Sacrifice
Hearing that Touji died in a terrorist attack on Tokyo-3 while protecting Hikari was possibly the worst news he had ever heard, but the pain from that was nothing to the pain he saw haunting Hikari's eyes when he found her in the Recovery Ward in NERV after Misato had given him the news and directed him there.
