The knowledge of Ayanami's origins and what has become of Asuka had hit Shinji hard. He started into the large river created from the explosion by the previous angel. He wanted to turn back time, so that he was able to start all over again. But what is done cannot be undone.
He felt sorrow as one after another of friends and loved ones left him. Right now he only had Misato left, but she was too buried in her own sorrow, such a situation Shinji could not bare to even speak to her about his own troubles, though Misato knew what Shinji was going through and tried consoling him, but why did she even bother when she had her own trouble to tackle.
Shinji felt like playing his cello. He wanted to play a song that was never played before, a song that will portray all his feelings and allow the wind to carry away all his bitterness in the language of music.
Shinji continued to gaze at the deep waters, reflecting the evening sun's rays, giving it a warm orange feeling. He was deep in though just as the silent breeze to Shinji's ears carried Beethoven's famous Ode To Joy.
Shinji turned and followed the direction of which the song was coming from, only to find a boy around his age sitting on a rock and humming it. It gave Shinji a peaceful feeling, as he listened to the song silently while unconsciously kept looking at the other, while his feet brought his closer and closer.
"Singing relives the soul doesn't it?" The sudden speech from the boy startled Shinji. The speaker then turned to face Shinji, and crimson eyes met midnight blue. The speaker was just as pale as Ayanami but instead of blue hair, he had a mop of messy silver locks.
Upon looking at the new stranger, Shinji felt his heart facing. He did not know why, but the more he looked at the pale boy, the more he wanted him. He could not help but flush at the thought.
The stranger smiled and introduced himself, "Boku wa Kaworu, Nagisa Kaworu."
"Aa, boku wa Ikari Shinji."
Kaworu walked closer towards Shinji, making Shinji's heart face even more. Their eyes were locked on to each other's until Kaworu was about a few inches from Shinji's face. He smiled at the boy, causing Shinji to flush. Smiling he said, "Yoroshiku, Ikari-kun."
"Aa, yoroshiku. Shinji is fine though, Nagisa-kun"
"Kaworu is fine too, Shinji," the boy finally backed off a little to Shinji's relief.
It was another day at work but today Shinji did not need to do anything but to go through another of Doctor Akagi's synchronizing tests. Kaworu of course had the highest reading out of the three of them, which seemed odd for a newcomer, but Shinji pushed that idea out of his head.
He had decided to get closer to pale beauty after seeing him, Shinji had felt an odd attraction for Kaworu and he wanted to find out why, and the easiest and fastest way was to get closer to Kaworu.
The gates to Nerv finally opened after what seems like ages for Shinji and out came the person he wanted to see, Nagisa Kaworu.
Shinji stood up and Kaworu walked towards him with his ever-smiling face. "Waiting for me?" Kaworu asked.
"Aa. I was wondering whether you would like to take a look around Tokyo 3 since you are new. Well at least what is left of it," Shinji said, trying his best not to flush.
"Of course I would especially If Shinji-kun is willing to be my guide."
Shinji of course was blushing from head to toe now at Kaworu's comment, making the pale beauty smile.
"Demo, can we first take a bath? I feel sticky after all the activity that was going on today."
Now this made Shinji flush even more. "We! Kaworu-kun are you sure?"
Kaworu smiled as his answer and left towards the bathroom, while Shinji followed suit with himself flushing even redder, if he could even be any redder.
