Chapter 2

My Reasons

"Your futon sir." A grunt from Nerv said as he knocked on the door.

"coming." Shinji said from the kitchen. "Just put it over there by the end of the other bed."

Rei stood in the shower letting the hot water flow over her body 'why does my heart beat quicken when ever I look at him and why do I feel safe when he is around.' Rei heard Shinji answer the door and decided that it was time to get out.

Shinji heard the bathroom door open and gapped at the sight before him it was just like the first time he had come over. Their, Rei stood naked drying her hair. Blushing profusely he started to apologize.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to look I'm really sorry I really am." Shinji said still blushing horribly

"Why are you apologizing you have not harmed me physically or mentally?" Rei asked

"Well normally one doesn't look at the opposite sex naked unless they are married" Shinji said as Rei put on her panties and a shirt and climbed into bed.

"Will you come here Shinji I have some questions to ask you and I want an honest answer please?" Rei asked it was a longer sentence than she could ever remember saying, but she had to make sure that he knew she was absolutely serious.

Slightly confused and nervous, Shinji walked over to the bed and sat down. "What is it Rei?" Shinji asked in a voice that was obvious that he was concerned now as well.

"Shinji since the last angel attack I can not look at you without my heart racing and my stomach fluttering, why, if you know, does this happen to me?" Rei said with a slight blush creeping up her neck.

Shinji was silent for some time before he answered, and to Rei it looked like he would not answer at all, but finally he spoke. "The only thing that would explain your feelings fully would be love. I cant tell you what you feel for me or even if you love me but that would be my best guess." Shinji said in a rush. "If it makes you feel any better I feel the same way. When I look at you and when you get hurt I get terrified that you wont get better." He added as an after thought. Shinji hoped he hadn't said too much or scared her away because deep down he was so happy that he could scream. Though doing so right now was not a wise idea.

"I understand the concept of love Shinji but I had up until this point never felt the feeling, if it is not to much to ask I would like it if you would stay here at least until I can express this feeling in return or it goes away." Rei said turning and laying down obviously ending the conversation. Thinking to herself she did not want the later option to happen.

That was her last thought before she fell into a blissful and most restful sleep she had ever had. Shinji on the other hand needed to think. There on his futon with his SDaT player Shinji went over his thoughts 'I love her more than anything in the world, but can I give her what she need and wants or will I fail like everything else I do.

Rei started mumbling in her sleep and Shinji leaned in to hear what she was dreaming about.

Please………….. away. ……………don't run aw….way.

That was all Shinji needed to hear to get his confidence and make a decision. He was staying and that was it, he was going to make Rei the happiest person in the world and he was not going to run away.

Rei woke up to the smell of breakfast being made and from what she could tell Shinji had made anything and everything he thought she might like.

"Stay their Rei, just tell me what you want and I will bring it over." Shinji said

Rei could tell that the kitchen was where Shinji was truly at home because of the smile and air of confidence he had about him.

"Shinji what is the occasion for this meal?" Rei asked though she thought she knew she wanted to here it from his lips.

"Rei, I have decided to stay here as long as you like and I promise to always love you and be here for you." He said the last part in a rush blushing profusely then turning to the tray that he was about to prepare for her.

Rei was silent for a while trying to figure out what she should say to that, but found that word couldn't express what she was feeling so she gave him the biggest smile that Shinji had ever seen.

"Shinji if it is not too much to ask could I have some corn beef and hash two eggs and some sausage." Rei asked Sheepishly she was slightly unnerved by the fact that he had already had most of what she wanted made, but decided not to ask how he knew until a later time.

"If that is what you want that is what you will have it will just be a second on the sausage though I want this to be perfect."

I Just want to apologize for the horrible spelling I really can't spell for shit and I will try to redo the first chapter but I don't remember were I saved it thank you for notifying me of this problems I do like it (just be nice please)
