Neon Genesis Evangelion - Nothing Will Ever Change This
A/N- This is my first fanfic, and I hope it is good. I will be the first to admit that each chapter is not that long, but expect many of them, so please don't make a comment on it.
Disclaimer- I do not own Neon Genesis Evangelion or any of the characters. I do, however, own the characters that I introduce into the NGE storyline.
Chapter 4: A Day At The Beach
"Ouch!" I yell as Asuka woke up and stepped on me. Talk about an alarm clock.
"Well then move!" That was her alright. Her personality normally drove people of, but in my case, it just made me want to get closer to her. Which I have been trying to do…
"You stepped on me! How about you watch where you're…" I stopped right there, not wanting a kick to the groin.
"Good boy, don't talk back," She said in a playful voice. She sure knew how to push my buttons and seduce me into doing whatever she wants.
"You want something to eat?" I asked in habit of always making breakfast.
"We don't have a kitchen! Dummkoepfe, how are we gonna cook without a stove?" I almost said, 'Because I'm fricken' magic!'… but I didn't.
"I found a weird thing in the wall, it's a stove with some plates. It pulls out and I'll be able to cook on it." Man, her room had everything!
"That's cool! While you cook, I'm gonna get changed. Do NOT peek… or else! I know that I'm right behind you but if you look…" She then puts her finger across her throat.
"Okay, I get the point! I won't peek! But why are you getting dressed?" I started to make some Belgian Waffles when she answered.
"It's Sunday! We have one day off a week and I'm going out! You can stay if you want, but I'm going to the beach!" That last word made me jump up and turn around.
"But the beach is four miles away and we don't have a car!" Oh crap. I peeked.
"Pervert!" A half naked Asuka comes over and slaps me across the face. It was worth it though…
"Sorry!" I go back to making our breakfast.
"That's right you are! Now as I was saying… we can get Section 2 to drive us down there, we'll just say that we're meeting someone there," She came over to me and said, "You wanna come with? You could use a tan, you're starting to look like Rei."
"Sure, let me just finish getting breakfast ready and we'll leave." When she was done eating, I got my bathing suit together and got changed.
"No peeking from you either!" I said in a playful voice.
"I've already seen it. Don't flatter yourself." Ouch. It was true though…

At The Beach- 10:00 AM
"Asuka! You're wearing that?" I yell as I see her take off her shirt and shorts. Underneath was a two piece, yellow bikini that left little to the imagination.
"Well… yeah. Why?" She really didn't see anything wrong with it. She is really proud of her body. She should be, too. Being German, her fiery red hair men would die for. Other parts of her body were also enhanced by being German…
"No reason. What do you want to do?" I say as I finish taking off my shirt.
"Good God! Shinji! You are like Rei! Are you albino? You couldn't possibly be any whiter!" I blush at this comment. "Lets just sun-bath for awhile."
"Okay… I brought the blankets." I hand her a red, soft beach blanket and she sets it up on the ground. After a few minutes of an awkward silence, she finally broke it.
"Shinji… do you find me attractive?" That was random, but I still answered.
"Well… yeah, Asuka. You're beautiful. Your face could be on a magaz…" I was cut off.
"Below my neck. I want to know what you think of my body." This is dangerous. Better choose my words carefully.
"Well, yeah. Yes I do find you attractive… why?" I went a little too direct with that one.
"Do you think other men think the same thing?" She shuddered at the last word.
"Yeah, in fact I know. Some guys talk about you at school." It was true, if she thinks that I'm a pervert, she should hear what other boys say!
"And do you think that I show off my body?" That was an obvious question.
"Why shouldn't you? If you are able to, why not?" Yeah… why not?
"Do you think I got raped because of it?" Her voice did not change at all, she just lay there, with here hands folded behind her head staring at the clouds going by.
"Asuka? Why are you asking me this?"
"Just answer the question. I won't be mad. I swear." I knew that she wouldn't be mad, but she would feel bad.
"Well… no I don't. You are always around me with those outfits on and I don't rape you. I think that it's just how some people are, not how you dress." I tried to be a nice as possible to keep her happy.
"So… it's not because of how I dress? Tell me if it is, please, because I don't want it to happen ag…" I cut her off.
"I will NEVER let it happen again." I'm going too far, "That is the one promise that you can hold me to for the rest of my life," I need to stop, "As long as I have air in my lungs, I will protect you," I seriously need to stop, "And you know why?" I am next to her leaning on my elbow and inches from her face, "Because I love you, and I always will. Whether it's from angels or just some common street thug, I will always protect you. I love you Asuka Langley Souryu, and nothing will ever, ever change it." She was obviously surprised, and so was I. I never knew that I could be so forward with her.
"Shin… ji?" Barley a question, but I answered.
"Yes." The conversation ended there. We spent the rest of the day in the sun; no words were said all day aside from a 'thank you' muttered from her mouth when I gave her a hamburger I had just bought. I called Section 2 around 3:00, and they came pretty quickly. Asuka didn't bother to try to cover up her bathing suit, and neither did I. Nothing, not even the 16th angel, could have bothered us. When we got home, she just watched a gaming show on T.V.
A few occasional laughs came out of her during the show, but no words. I knew that I should have stopped; I probably just ruined our relationship with my simple three words. Finally, after three hours of silence, she turned off the T.V.
"Shinji, do you find me attractive?" Dumbfounded, I answered.
"Um… yeah?" I said with a questionable voice.
"How's my body?" She once again asked.
"Asuka? Why are we having this conversation again?" I did not want to re-live what happened earlier today.
"Because… I want to…" She stopped.
"To what?" I wanted her to continue.
"T… to hear you say that again." Oh my God.
"Say what?" I already knew.
"I want to hear you say to me what you said at the beach." I knew that was coming. If there's a God in heaven, please help me.
"I… I love you… Asuka." I said faintly. I tried not to show any emotion, but I know that I smiled faintly.
"Hmm…" Was all I could hear from her.
A/N- One of my more mushy, filler chapters, but one of my favorite. How will Asuka handle being loved by Shinji? Will she go into seclusion again, or will she embrace it? Find out just what happens in the next chapter; Do You, until then, keep on keepin' on!
