Chapter 5
Shinji's Pride
Shinji was apparently not having a good day. He now understood why Misato drank so many
beers.
Shinji lifted his fourth can to his mouth, but from lack of experience, he vomited into
it. Shinji could barely think he was so drunk. But he had to find a way to talk to Rei. Then he
remembered: Rei hadn't been at school the day before. So...he could say he was there to give her
the papers, but start up small talk...yeah. That would work.

He got up, still drunk. He wobbled his way to the door, and outside. He looked down,
and followed the arrows to the elevator, and entered to see: Asuka. She stared at him, the beer
can still in his hand that was covered in vomit.

"What the hell have you been doing? What were you thinking, drinking Misato's beer!
That's not right! And your drunk worse than Misato has ever been! C'mon!" Asuka tried to pull
him along, but he pulled away and punched her.

"Geur awau fro' mae." He said, and pressed the button's '3', '5', '1' at the same time.
They were one floor 6, so it went down a floor, stopped, when down 2 more, stopped, then 1,
and Shinji stepped out.

Asuka stood there, watching him go. She couldn't believe it. Goody-Goody Shinji got
drunk! And punched her! And now he went to go to who knows where.

Shinji knocked on the door to Rei's apartment, and when she finally answered, he said,
"Here au your paperrrrrrs. May aue coome in?"

"Shinji, you don't have any papers. Why are you here?"

"Just let meau coome in." he said, pushing his way inside, and walked to her bedroom
without taking off his shoes.(just in case you don't know, it is considered VERY rude to not
take off your shoes when you come in, in a oriental home) He finally took them off as she
walked in, and threw them at the box next to her bed, and started undressing.

This startled Rei very much, forcing her to blush. She thought Shinji was too polite
and had too much common sense to get drunk, or have sex yet even though. He did so much just
like his father...

* * *

"Rei, undress." Gendou said. She did, but she had no idea what was happening. When
she had shed all of her clothing, and he had also, he took her to the bed. "Rei, what I am
about to do might hurt. It probably will. But don't worry. After, it will feel good." He said,
smiling to her.

Rei laid on the bed, and Gendou spread her legs. She looked at him, watching, and all
he did was stare. Then, he made love to her. She screamed, louder than she ever had during
testing. She hurt, like nothing she ever knew.

"Its ok Yui...its all ok..." he said, and kept rotating in her. "Your so beautiful
Yui...I...I love you.."

Rei returned from that terrible flashback...that was only a year ago...he had been
doing it to her for a year. She hated it, but she didn't know if it was really why she...why
she was made. Maybe he made her for that. But who was Yui? Why did he always call her Yui? Maybe
she was a old lover...but now his son lay on the bed before her, about to do the same thing...
but he was drunk. She wondered if he even knew what he was about to do.

Shinji stared at her, with only his boxers on, when suddenly Asuka crashed through the
door, and yelled, "Shinji! Where are you?! Rei, have you seen Shi-"...she saw him. Sitting on
Rei's bed. She just stood there, mouth open, speechless.

"Pilot Sohryu, why are you here?" Rei said, her emotionless face shining in the bright
light of her window.

"What are you two going to do?! Shinji! Stop this! You'll regret it! You will!" she
said, starting to cry right in front of him.

He stared at her, a puzzle on his face of what this was all about. As Asuka could see,
the drunkenness was fading from him, but he was still drunk. He looked at her, and said,
"Wha's rong Suka? Ee er gonna just do ut."

Asuka looked at him, and yelled in his face, "What are you doing? What did you do with the
baby?! WHERE?!" she yelled, slapping him.

"Wha or yo so mad ebout Suka?" Shinji said, with a innocence in his voice.

"Excuse us Rei, but we have to go." Asuka said, and tried as hard as she could to get him
dressed, then dragged him home. By the time they were home, Shinji's light Drunkenness had
faded away.

"I can't believe you did that Shinji! You were going to have sex with her! What is wrong
with you! Your too young!" Asuka said, with a soft, almost motherly tone, yet again. She
walked into Misato's room, to find the baby still sleeping, and brought her back to the
living room.

"I'm sorry Asuka...guess I shouldn't have had those beers." He said, looking down. "I just...
didn't know what to do, and when I went to get some green tea...I accidentally got the beer...
but still...I think that I may have been wrong...I...I don't think I-"

She cut him off, "No, you do love me. I...I am almost sure..." she said, moving in to hug him,
scared of the moment, unsure if he was fully un-drunk.

He put his arms around her, and said, "Its okay Asuka...I just...I need to figure things out a
bit."
