Chapter 5: Togetherness

THERE IS A LEMON SCENE IN THIS CHAPTER!

A couple days passed, Misato was in the office dealing with more paperwork. An angel hadn't appeared for the last couple of days. Asuka was reading a book, the title of the book was 'Lord Of The Rings'. Shinji was in his room, chilling, listening to his SDAT. Asuka ran to her room, putting the book down. She flicked her red head back with her right hand, looking through her drawers. She looked at her swimsuit, and she booked it to Shinji's room.

"Let's go swimming!" Asuka playfully said with her swimsuit on. Shinji gulped, running to the bathroom to change into swim shorts.

"Sure." Shinji said nervously. He didn't know how to swim, getting the lump out of his throat. He didn't want to be embarrassed in front of his girlfriend. He came out of the bathroom changed, and he followed Asuka's gleaming red hair. Running towards the Geo-Front, they swiped their key-cards, opening the door. His stomach got nervous, wanting to throw up. Asuka got to the pool, closely followed by Shinji. He saw the table where he did his science homework. Asuka ran and dived into the pool, swimmed with eagerness.

"Get in Shinji!" Asuka hollered in the pool. Her wet hair was pushed out of her face by her arm. He walked over to the shallow end, jumping in, going only to where he could stand.

"Come on, you big baby! Get over here." Asuka hollered, dragging him out of the water. He looked at her, admitting his secret.

"I-, can't swim." He blurted, blushing and embarrassed. Asuka started to chuckle at him, telling him that, "I'll teach you like my old college professors did." Asuka lifted him a little bit, and chucked him into the deep end.

"Asuka wai-!?" Shinji screamed, panicking in the water.

Asuka kept reminding him to stop panicking. She leaned her legs over the pool, at Shinji. She yawned for a second, repeating not to panic one more time. She looked down, and Shinji wasn't at the surface. Her eyes widened, she gasped.

"Shit!" She yelled while diving into the pool, finding the unconscious Shinji, she grabbed his arm. Throwing him on her back, she struggled to get up to the surface. She pulled him up, grabbing onto the ledge.

'The deep end had to be 10 feet deep. NERV.' Asuka thought, getting to the top. She pulled herself up, panting from the amount of work she just did.

"Idiot." Asuka muttered, throwing curses and pulling Shinji out of the water.

"Damn it, fuck!" Asuka picked him up until he stood, doing the Heimlich Maneuver. Water came out of Shinji's mouth, Asuka hit him on the back twice, trying to save her co-worker. She heard coughs, and grunts. Shinji's eyes opened, he fell to the floor. Spitting out the remaining water. He tried to get up, leaning back on Asuka. Asuka supported his weight and laughed. Asuka brought him over to the shallow end, showing Shinji how to swim. Shinji was visibly nervous, but Asuka was surprisingly nice.

By the end, Shinji knew how to float, a new high for him in a bit.

"You move your legs like this, and arms like this." Asuka told him, smiling. "Remember to breathe deeply and slowly." Shinji got the hang of it, and Asuka asked him to get out of the pool. They went over to the deep end, and Shinji began to freeze, Asuka got in the pool, showing that there was nothing to be afraid of. Shinji gulped once more, jumping in, remembering what Asuka showed him. He began to float, surprised, eyes glistening. Both teens leaned in for a kiss, together. They stayed like this for several minutes, until both teens heard a voice.

"What are you doing?" in an emotionless voice. Shinji grabbed the ledge, looking at the blue-haired girl at the entrance of the poolroom.

"Wondergirl?" Asuka started, "What are you doing?"

"Soryu, I believe I asked you first." Rei continued, walking in her swimsuit. Asuka put her face under the water, trying to find some excuse for the question she was just asked.

"We were just chatting." Shinji butted in, tapping Asuka. She appears from beyond the surface, hair sticking to her face. Shinji swiped the hair, and they whispered a couple of lies to tell.

Shinji and Asuka faced Rei, who was near the pool, but not ready to jump in yet.

"So, we were arguing." Shinji lied, "Not that surprising." Rei looked at him, then at Asuka. "You were very close, and quiet for arguing." Rei rebutted.

Asuka retorted quickly, "Mind your damn business, you don't know! Don't call me Soryu!"

Shinji went to grab Asuka, "Hey, it's fine. Calm down." Asuka began to yell at him, "Shut up, third." Shinji was confused, all of the sudden she was angry and yelling at him. Shinji began hopping out of the pool, Asuka tagging along. She was red, full of anger and possibly fire and steam. Shinji grabbed his towel, running off after Asuka, who was bolting out. Shinji caught up panting, grabbing Asuka's hand. "Get off of me!" Asuka screamed, slapping Shinji. Shinji was at a loss, baffled. He wanted to hit her back, but the guilt was still eating at him.

"Asuka!" Shinji yelled, the redhead running further away. "Wait!"

Shinji caught up to her, grabbing her from behind. Shinji began to laugh a little.

"Got you!" Shinji said playfully. Asuka smiled a little. "What's wrong?" Shinji asked, turning her around.

"That fucking girl, she gets under my skin. She pisses me the hell off!" Asuka yelled, cooling down. She wanted to snap her neck, she wanted her. The way she speaks, the way she exists. Shinji scooped up Asuka, "I'll cheer you up." Shinji began running at top speed, towards the apartment. There was a mixture of panting from Shinji and laughter from Asuka. Riding her 'royal stallion'. They made it to the apartment much faster.

"You got faster, maybe because of no shit old men that need to go crash their car." Asuka blurted, much to the discomfort of Shinji.

"Misato, we are home!" Shinji yelled with Asuka on his back.

"Hey guys-" Misato yawned, "I just finished my paper work, I can-" she turned. She chuckled a little, both teens in swimsuits, Asuka on Shinji's back.

"Stop teasing!" Asuka yelled, signaling Shinji to let her down. She hopped off him, going inside. Misato looked at her phone, eyes closed.

"They want me for more paperwork. Shinji, your father is a piece of work." Misato growled leaving the house in a timely manner. 'Damn, paperwork.' Misato thought. She hated leaving the kids alone.

"Hey, I'm going to take a shower." Asuka announced going into the bathroom. The water began to run, Shinji heard faint humming from the bathroom.

"Can I come in?" Shinji asked, Asuka confused.

"Why? You know I'm taking a shower." Asuka replied, "I want to take a shower too." Shinji asked, suggesting something that Asuka realized. Shinji opened the door, calling Asuka's name. "Hey! I didn't say yes!" Asuka yelled, covering up. "Wellll~, is it a yes?" Shinji asked, trying to sound convincing.

"Fine." Asuka muttered, "Don't you dare try anything." Shinji hopped in the shower, turning Asuka around.

"Hey! I said don-" Asuka yelled, Shinji kissing her. He started moving lower, Asuka began to shiver. He pushed his finger in, followed by a covered moan by Asuka.

"Sto-" Asuka remarked, "Never mind."

Shinji continued his adventure. Asuka couldn't contain herself, she kept moaning, losing her composure. Another finger went in, Shinji opened his eyes, looking at Asuka. She started leaning on him, becoming weak. She muttered, "Don-, Don't stop.", "FUCK!" Shinji saw her puppy-dog eyes and continued. Her heartbeat, breathing. She couldn't contain her moans, screaming as pleasure overtook her. She looked at the eva-pilot, starting to feel her legs fall under her. He was completely hard, smiling at Asuka.

"Yes!" Asuka yelled, waves of pleasure went under her, falling onto Shinji. She felt better than ever before. He felt her ass tense up, as her breathing went haywire. Shinji moved out of the shower, watching Asuka in the shower. She got up, calling Shinji's name. He turned around, going up to her. She just stood up, her sweat was covering her whole body. Shinji had another full look at her body. He was a little too excited.

"T-Thank you, Shinji." Asuka gasped, going back to her shower. He ran over to his room, he changed, ready to go make some dinner. He threw on a loose tank top and a pair of basketball shorts.

He ran over to the stove, hearing the flickering sound of the fire starter. The gas stove erupted, in a flurry of blue flame. He threw a pan down, doing his magic. He started washing some vegetables, hearing a scream.

"FUCK! ARE YOU USING WATER?!" Asuka screamed from the bathroom. The water stopped running in the shower. The sounds of wet feet running from the bathroom. Asuka's red hair was untidy, her face was red.

"I was in the shower. That FUCKING HURT! IDIOT!" Asuka screamed, stomping to her room and closing the door. Shinji stopped the water, finishing up his cooking, calling in Asuka.

"What do you want, asshole?" Asuka was tempered. Dinner was all that he could muster. She took it from his hands, eating it. She shoved the plate in his hands, moving to her room. "You just had to be an idiot today?" Asuka insulted, making Shinji guilty. He had completely forgotten what she had said, what she was doing. He finished his dinner, cleaning his plate and Asuka's throwing it on the drying rack. He began to go over to Asuka's room. His hands clenched and he tensed up. He was afraid, he didn't want her to be upset with him.

"A-Asuka?" Shinji yelped, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"What do you want?" Asuka barked at Shinji.

"Can I come in?" Shinji replied, trying to feel confident.

Asuka went silent, Shinji took it as a silent yes. He slid open the door, Asuka's room extremely untidy. Asuka turned around, not being able to look at Shinji.

"I'm sorry, I forgot." Shinji said weakly, Asuka grabbed his arm.

"I'm fucking tired." Asuka said with her vicious voice. You could confuse her with a viper, pulling her covers above her. Shinji shrugged, lying on her bed. He fell asleep next to Asuka. His stomach had the feeling that the body was going to be attacked. It twisted up, making Shinji twitch in his sleep. Asuka felt this, her back to him. She turned around, grabbing him trying to make him stop. She had grabbed his chest and legs, making the movement stop. She lightly put her head on his neck, trying to stay warm herself. A couple of lone tears came off his cheeks, he was having a nightmare.

Every minute she was awake, she was angry at him.

'Do I hit him?' Asuka thought, staring at the asleep boy.

A couple of mutters came from his breath.

"Asuka, I'm sorry." He whispered, before jerking around, crying.

'What does he mean?' Asuka looked at him, mouth open. She tended to him, hugging him. Her rib pain had practically gone away, but it was still weird to move around. She watched the alarm clock tick, the sound 10x as loud. Her eyes were bloodshot, wide open, unable to catch a Z. Shinji was having a repeat of last night, he couldn't take it much longer. Asuka had cheered him up, but his guilt ate him too much. He was moving around and rolled off the bed. Asuka pulled him up, grunting at his inability to comply in his sleep. She kicked him up onto her shoulders, throwing him on the bed, he jumped up a bit, but he weeped and fell dormant. Asuka sighed hard, looking at the brown-haired boy.

"Ugh." Asuka muttered, giving the boy her covers. "Sleep well, Liebling." She climbed onto the bed, clearing some space.

Misato sat down at her workspace, dealing with a NERV activation test. Rei was in Unit-00. Ritsuko had put a secret activation in place to test a couple things. Misato was surprisingly discharged, with Gendo being put in charge.

'That's a surprise, Commander Ikari never lets me leave early!' Misato thought cheerfully. Happy to not pull an all-nighter. It was 2am, late but better than nothing. She started her car, exhausted. Her hands most likely had carpal tunnel, she had blisters on her wrist and hand. She moved from the geo-front to the nearest exit, peacefully humming Frank Sintra's 'Fly Me to The Moon'. Misato had put her car into park, a free parking spot was in the early parts of the complex. She leaned back in her seat, and swung open the door. She walked towards her door, her high-heels making a noise that was commonly heard in spy movies.

'NERV is a secret organization' Misato chuckled, hoping she could catch a couple of z's. She fumbled her keycard, her eyes going double-sighted. She managed to get the card through, opening her door to find two pairs of shoes. She walked into the kitchen, grabbing a nice, ice-cold beer. That fresh cracking sound of the lid, and the taste after a long day of work got Misato tipsy real fast. Asuka heard Misato come in, she was tired, but she had the feeling that she couldn't fall asleep. Shinji had his arm over her, and his leg rubbing up against her. They were.. together. She got up, ruffling around Shinji, smacking him to get him to stop hugging her. He groaned, curling into a fetal position. She rubbed her eyes as she walked into the living room.

Misato began to slur words, "S-So, how's y-." Misato started to shut her eyes. Her head slammed into the table, she started to snore.

"Classic." Asuka laughed, using the bathroom and going back to Shinji. He had moved to the other side, Asuka desperate for sleep, moved her way next to Shinji. Sleeping had become a task for both of them, nightmares were prominent. She finally felt herself drifting to sleep, being able to get something before the morning.
