Another Rainy Day
By System Id
AU: Hello people. After last chapter's cliffhanger, I'm ready for another one.
Shinji looked at the address, it was from some site he never heard of. He opened the email. It read:
Dear beloved,
I know you are wondering who this is, just follow your heart. We all make mistakes sometimes, and I want to say I'm sorry. I love you, and I always will. To find me, look around and follow your heart. In the end, all will be right. Don't be sad. Be happy, because I know these things.
Yours truly, Your secret admirer
Shinji looked at the mail again. He was freaked out by the suddenness of it all. He wrote a reply.
Dear anonymous,
I believe that you have this address wrong. Because I am sure I do now know you. Please, I regret that I read this very private information. I think that you hit the wrong letter in your address field. Sorry.
Shinji Ikari
As soon as he sent the mail a reply came back.
Dear Shinji,
I didn't get it wrong. I meant to send it too you. I love you, you see, this is something I cannot avoid. I want you to think before you come to conclusions. Don't be hasty. Keep in touch.
That was all it read.
"Toji, look at this. I got these e-mails from someone. Look here." Shinji said. Toji looked over his friends shoulder.
"Well, it looks like you got some chick hook on you. So, who is it?" Toji asked. Shinji shrugged. Toji grabbed him and walked up to the front of the room caring Shinji's tap top with him.
"HEY PEOPLE! PEOPLE! CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!"? Toji said. Everyone stopped talking and looked up at the pair standing up.
"Can we please get the user of this address, CruelRedDisire?" Toji asked. Everyone went into a furry of gossip. They all were asking each other who it was. No one answered.
"It has to be someone here." Toji said. No one else would know Shinji's address. His laptop beeped.
There was another message there. It read:
Dear Shinji,
You're not going to find the one in the rabbit hole. Why not looking the courtyard? And I'm not late for that very important date. I know what your thinking. Don't even try and guess. When we meet, you'll be surprised. I know for a fact. So, just relax. I might see you at the dance on Saturday night.
The message was weird. Using quotes from Alice and Wonderland. Toji looked puzzled. A char box opened on his screen. It was something from Auska. Shinji looked over at the German red head. Her message told him to talk to her. Shinji got up and walked over.
"Shinji don't announce your internet affairs to the class. We don't want to know about your hentai fantasies." Auska said. She flicked his forehead and told him to go sit back down with the stooges. She didn't want to been see in his presence. Shinji walked back to his seat. He thought though the mind numbing effect of the teacher. He thought though lunch, and the whole way home. He thought through dinner, and while he slept.
When the next morning came, Shinji woke up early and began breakfast. Misato was up next, and then soon after can Auska.
"Morning Auska, Morning Misato." Shinji said as he made the eggs.
"Morning Shinji."Misato said as she reached into the fridge for a beer. Auska didn't say anything.
"YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Misato yelled. That snapped Auska out of her sleep. She had fallen back asleep on the table.
"You always do that so loud."Auska said. Misato shrugged.
"So, I hear there is a school dance." Misato said.
"Yeah. But I'm not going." Auska said. Shinji swallowed hard at the thought of the dance and his creep admirer.
"Really? That's odd. As you commanding officer, I order you and Shinji to go. No buts and winning." Misato said as she took another sip.
"WHAT!" Shinji and Auska yelled at the same time. "You heard me." Misato said as she got up and went to change. Shinji and Auska exchanged glances and Shinji went back to cooking. The day was slow and annoying. The teachers mind-numbing ness set in until Shinji's laptop beeped. The message was from Auska.
Langley: Isn't it so stupid that we have to go to that dance?
SIKARI: yeah.
Langley: Can't you say anything more then that? Aren't you complaining?
SIKARI: No. I don't need to. I'm going, and not putting up a fight. Misato will just give us more chores to do.
Langley: Right.At least Hikari will be there.
With that the box closed. Shinji sighed and looked out the window. He began to wonder into thoughts, until the bell rang, he bent over and took out his lunch and began to eat in the classroom. Everyone including Toji and Kensuke left. They didn't notice Shinji still in the room. He watched the black specs fill the courtyard of the school. He watched people chase each other. He watched some people snuggle together under the cherry trees.
It made Shinji feel sad that he couldn't be part of that. He hummed a tune from Tchaikovsky as he surfed the Internet.
"Ikari!" Someone said from the door. Shinji looked up. Hikari was there in the doorway.
"Yes class rep?" Shinji asked.
"Don't be so formal. I'm your friend!" Hikari said with a smile.
"Ok.What do you need Hikari?" Shinji asked.
"I want to know why you eat up here, all alone. While everyone else enjoys the sun and other things." Hikari said taking the desk in front of him.
"Well. I like to be by myself. I've been that way since I was 4 when my father left me for NERV." Shinji said with a smile.
"AT 4!" Hikari said surprised.
"Yeah.when I was 4. My mother died, so I didn't have anyone to live with." Shinji said. Hikari looked at the boy with remorse.
"Well, that is a sad story. I can't find Auska, she is my usual lunch partner, so do you think I could eat with you today?" Hikari asked. Shinji smiled and set his laptop in the little space for books under his desk.
"Sure. I'd like some company." Shinji said.
"Thanks!" Hikari said with a smile.
The meal was spent talking; they ate and told each other stories of things that happened to them. The bell sounded and Hikari cleared her stuff away.
"Thank you for letting me eat with you Shinji." Hikari said.
"No problem. Anytime." Shinji said with his usual smile. Hikari went back to her seat and waited until the teacher returned before she went on with the "stand up, bow, sit down" routine. Toji was late, and so was Kensuke, so they spent the period out the halls with water buckets. When the day was over, Toji and Kensuke walked with Shinji. Auska went home with Hikari to go shopping.
"Where were you during lunch?" Kensuke asked.
"I was eating in the room. Hikari came to eat with me." Shinji said.
"Really? I saw her looking for the demon, but didn't find her." Toji said.
"Toji.give it up, we all know you like Hikari." Kensuke said. Toji blushed and they all laughed. They sat around in the apartment until Auska came home, then the "stooges" were out the door faster then light.
"Baka! Carry these things to my door." Auska said as she shoved the bags into Shinji.
"WHAT! WHY!" Shinji protested. Auska looked at him.
"I SAID DO IT! SO DO IT!" Auska yelled. Shinji scampered off to Auska's door. He set the things down there and went into his own room.
Misato came home and Shinji began dinner. Misato complained whom Kaji keep trying to make out with her the whole day. Auska listened intently and Shinji just went off into a void. He ate in silence, cleared the dishes weather or not they were done or not.
"HEY SHINJI! I WASN'T DONE YET!" Misato yelled. Shinji brought her plate back without a word or comment. His face was plastered emotionless. Misato knew something was wrong. Shinji went into his room as soon as possible leaving everyone baffled as to his odd behavior.
Misato walked up to the door with a gold plaque next to it which marked 'Shinji Ikari' on it. She knocked softly.
"Yes." Shinji said softly.
"Can I come in?" Misato said.
"Yes." Shinji said flatly. Misato opened the door and crossed the floor to Shinji who sat as his desk, in the dark. Misato hit the light as she walked up to Shinji.
"Come on out here for a second. I have something for you." Misato said to Shinji as she hugged him. Shinji's plastered face changed into one of curiosity.
