Disclaimers: I don't owe it, really!

Chapter 3

As they went to Shinji's place both had a lot to think about. Sometimes they looked at each other but didn't say a thing. The first thing that Kaworu saw in the house was something black jumping on Shinji.

"Sorry, this is Pen Pen, Misato's pet."

"Wark, wark! – The penguin started to point to his stomach with an angry look."

"What? Haven't you eaten anything? It was Asuka's turn!"

They went to the kitchen and while Shinji get something to eat for the three of them, Kaworu went to the bathroom where he did his "lilim's things". Eating, sleeping, going to the toilet…. It was difficult for him to get used to those things. In fact with his AT field and his S2 organ he didn't need to do it. Well, it was his choice to take a lilim form anyway, so he would play by their rules.

They sat in the kitchen and began to talk while they ate.

"What are those tests the red-haired girl talked about?"

"Oh, maybe you don't know because you are new here but there are some creatures called Angels that attack the city."

"Geee, I know a lot about them, really" Unfortunately

"Well, Asuka, Rei and I drive those giant robots to stop them."

"Really!" So there are people inside those things, and one of them is Shinji… It's the same, I don't care, that's not my fight, not anymore.

"You seem upset."

"I'm only worried about you, that's quite dangerous."

"Thanks." It seemed that blushing was epidemic this year.

"And quite courageous." Another blush. "But, Why you?"

"I don't know. My father told me it has to be me and well…"

"But you don't like your father, so why do you..." Shinji get up quickly.

"I don't know! Maybe I'm crazy." He started to cry until Kaworu embraced him.

"Hush, everything is gonna be okay. I promise." Don't cry, your tears break my heart. At first the touch make Shinji to jump but something inside of him stopped it.

"Thank you, Kaworu."

"By the way I've seen a violin next to the bathroom. You told me you played the violoncello."

"And it is. That's Asuka's."

"I can play it. Shall we play together? "

"Sure!"

They took the instruments and started to play a Pachebel's piece. When they finished Pen Pen was asleep.

"Wow, it sounded great. You play it very good and the piano too."

"Well, I learned that from one of my sisters, Israphel is quite the music genius of the family, you know. I respected her a lot, but at the end… she was like the others. A pity, she has great coordination and synchronisation."

"Ah! The synch test! I forgot it!"

"Oh! I'm sorry Shinji, you'll get in time?"

"I think so.Will Isee you tomorrow?"

"Don't doubt it."
