The First Night

Hey guys, I hadn't expected such a big turn up from a chapter that was posted only a few hours ago. I've decided to change the way I answer review because maybe it'll answer some other peoples questions which means less work for me, and I'm a pretty lazy person sooo...

ChaddyManPrime: Great, then you know what actual good writing is haha, anyways if you read those then I suggest you read "To my Dearest Honey" one of my personal favorites and maybe even "Happier Days" if you have to time.

Iyaoyas: Yeah, I hope this ends up to be one of the better fics, but the problem is, its hard to have a Shinji x Asuka pairing and the get characters right since they are portrayed in a way that makes it hard to have dialogue that sounds sweet and caring and still sound like they might say them... since well... everyone in Evangelion is insane.


Anyways, without further adieu, A Long Two Weeks Part 2, The First Night.

"WHAT THE FU-!" Asuka was in the middle of letting everyone in the ship, maybe even the fleet know her opinions of this scrawny little boy when a man who looked to be in his thirties, his hair tied back in a pony tail, who looked like he needed a shave. Yes, this was the one and only..

"KAJI!" Asuka leaped forward, effectively trucking Shinji over in the progress, and proceeded in giving the man a bone crunching hug. "KAJI! I didn't know you were still here!" Asuka yelled in the sweetest voice she could muster. All this happened while Shinji had gotten himself up and witnessed what was most likely the most dramatic mood swing he was ever going to see. 'Is that even the same Asuka?' Shinji mused over in his head.

Kaji must have taken notice of Shinji staring wide-eyed, mouth open at Asuka while she continued hugging him.

"Everyone in the ship heard your little argument you know." Kaji said to them with a small small, chuckling to himself.

"Well its not my fault if the Third just barged in here. How did he know I wasn't changing or taking a shower!?" Asuka ranted on about how this was all his fault.

"Well Asuka, he didn't know you were here. How could that be his fault?" Kaji tried to convince Asuka it was just an honest accident, considering if she starts hating him for this there was going to be a serious problem.

"We don't know that he didn't see me come in here! He could have planned to grope me! We should kick him off the ship!" Asuka yelled a bit louder this time to get her point across.

Shinji just stood there trying to figure out how she was able to come up with such ridiculous claims not even 5 minutes after meeting him.

'Do I really look like a rapist to her.' He thought looking down at himself, to see if there was anything distinctively rape-y about him. He couldn't for the life of him figure it out.

"Asuka, I'm pretty sure this is all a misunderstanding, maybe you have the wrong room?" Kaji asked Asuka.

"No! See the number on the key is 1126! That's the room number!" Asuka pointed out to the man, showing him her key.

"Then what about you Shinji?" Kaji asked him.

"No my key says 1126 on it as well." Shinji said shyly, showing the key. "But, how do you know my name?" Shinji asked Kaji.

"Well I ought to know your name, you pretty famous in our business. The Third Child, who piloted an Eva in battle with no training." Kaji said, smiling at Shinji

"It's all luck." Shinji answered shyly, faintly blushing and scratching his head. That statement infuriated Asuka.

'Your telling me I lost to this puppy? What a joke.' Asuka thought to herself.

"Luck is part of the ability, its your talent. Anyways, I'm not sure why you guys have the same keys, I'll go talk to the captain about it. You guys just stay here and wait for me to come back." Kaji said walking out of the room.

"WAIT!" Asuka yelled running out of the room and slamming the door. "I'll come with you, I don't think I could live if I was stuck in the same room as the Third for that long." She said a little quieter so Shinji wouldn't hear. Kaji sighed a breath of defeat.

"Fine, lets go."


Along the way to the captains quarters, Kaji decided to stop for a smoke. Now Kaji was leaning against the railing, while Asuka's back was against his, while she sat on the railing, letting her legs dangle out.

"So what did you think of Shinji?" Kaji asked her.

"Who? The Third? He's so boring. Thats the great Third Child? What a disappointment." Asuka ranted about Shinji.

"Yet his sync ratio was well over 40% in combat with no training." Kaji said to her.

"WHAT!" Asuka yelled, almost falling over the railing. "Your kidding right!?" Asuka yelled, her pride being hurt. 'I trained years to be able to be ready for combat, and this kid can just hop in the Eva without a plug suit or training and whop-Dee-doo, kills his first angel?!'

"Nope, I can show you the reports if you don't believe me." Kaji replied, smirking behind his cigarette, he could tell that he had impressed her, even if he didn't say anything. Suddenly, Asuka shot up from her spot and began walking in the direction they came from.

"Where are you doing?" Kaji asked, he knew exactly where she was going, but he had to hear it from her.

"I'm going back to the dorm." She said nothing else about what she was doing, but frankly, Kaji didn't need her to explain.


Shinji sat in the chair by the desk, listening to his SDAT, back to the door. Ignoring the world. He had been thinking a lot about the Second Child. He couldn't say that he liked her, but he couldn't say he disliked her.

'I guess she overreacted a little, but I would be freaked out too if someone just barged into my room like that. But she still slapped me.' Shinji thought rubbing the spot on his cheek.

"OPEN UP THIRD!" he heard a faint yell from behind the music. He took out one of the headphones in his ear and heard knocking on the door. He walked over and open to door only to be met with the angry face of Asuka Langley Soryu.

"I've been knocking for 10 minutes!" Asuka yelled at him. "Why didn't you open up!?" Asuka questioned him, slowing walking forward.

Shinji was pedaling back. "G-Gomen,I was j-just liste-" Shinji cut himself off when his legs hit the beds and fell back. Shinji was now on his back looking up at an angry Asuka. "I-I was just listening to-" Then Shinji was cut off a second time.

Kaji opened the door and walked in to see Shinji laying on his back while fearfully looking up at Asuka, who looked like she was fuming.

"Woaaah, I hope I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Kaji said jokingly to the two teens.

"K-Kaji! Don't say such things!" Asuka replied, blushing at the though of her and Shinji- she wasn't going that far.

"K-Kaji-san, did you find out why our room is mixed up?" Shinji asked him with a slight blush himself.

"Yes, Major Katsuragi requested you two share a dorm, and there is no space for you two to change rooms so, you guys are stuck here. Whether that's a bad thing or not is up to you" Kaji said with a suggestive grin. Shinji and Asuka locked glares, both blushing at what Kaji was suggesting. Shinji quickly averted his eyes and his blush deepened.

"M-Misato-san requested we were put in the same room?" Shinji asked, slightly annoyed that his /guardian would do such a thing.

"You know Katsuragi?" Kaji asked him.

"Y-Yes, I live with her currently." Shinji answered, his blush slowly dying down. Kaji smirked at the statement, but he had something to do so he couldn't stay any longer.

"Well, I'd love to stay and chat but I have something I must be doing so I'll be going. Oh and here are your keys." Kaji said, tossing them their keys and closing the door.


Both Shinji and Asuka stared at each other. It was already night time, so they had to get to sleep soon.

"THIS SUCKS! I can't believe I'm stuck in here with you for two weeks! Who does Misato think she is!" Asuka was screaming to no one in particular, but glancing over at Shinji out of the corner of her eyes. He was too average. He wasn't super tall, just an average height. He wasn't buff or anything, he was much more on the bony side in fact. His hair was long and brown like most Japanese school boys his age. The only that stood out about him were his eyes. Asuka couldn't help but stare at his eyes sometimes, they were so dark and deep, like he had faced all the pains in the world. Shinji was a polar opposite of herself. Everything about her was unique. She had red hair, although through the years it was becoming more auburn, while she had blue eyes. Her figure had filled out beautifully for someone her age. She was only 14 and many people had mistaken her for a high-school-er. Speaking of schooling, she had graduated from a university the year before, and was at the peak of physical and mental condition.

"What?! Don't tell me you have no thoughts on this!?" Asuka yelled/asked him.

"Hey?" Shinji asked, "Do you mind if I take a shower first?" He asked the Second Child.

"No! Haven't you ever heard of chivalry!" She yelled then ran into the bathroom. Shinji sighed and sat on the bed, waiting for her return.

After a few minutes, Asuka emerged from the bathroom, clad in only a towel. Her hair was still damp and ran over her shoulders. She closed her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I'm all freshened up." Asuka said in the voice she uses to talk to Kaji.

"Why aren't you dressed?" Shinji said calmly, looking away, but still blushing. He wasn't going to fall for one of her stupid tricks.

"It hurts my pride that your so uninterested." Asuka said, flipping her hair. "You know, my breasts have come in nicely. How about it? Wanna see the real thing?" Asuka asked him teasingly, leaning over in front of him. That voice was really getting to him. But its not enough. Shinji opened the drawer her clothes were in and threw a shirt at her, landing on her head, covering her face.

"I'm going to take a shower." Shinji said, walking into the bathroom with clothes in hand.

"Hmph, how boring." Asuka muttered to herself.
