Dear Shinji,
Do you think you have it figured out? Or do you think you're on the right path? You are a funny one. That's why I like you m' boy. Don't think that you and your friends could ever figure this one out. It's a red-hot shocker!
Your lover
Shinji looked at the mail closer, hoping to make out a sort of penmanship that he could identify. There was none. Who ever it was, he didn't know real well, or they were covering it up really well. It could be a trick from Toji and Kensuke, but Shinji shook the though from his head. He fell asleep during class, along with everyone, but he awoke when his computer beeped. There was another message.
Dear Shinji,
You shouldn't fall asleep in class. Chin up, shoulders back. Be the Great Shinji.
Your lover.
Shinji's head swiveled around, looking at everyone. Everyone was asleep, but there were a few that looked like they had a thread of life in him or her still.
'The Great Shinji. Where have I heard anything remotely close to that? It sounds so familiar..' Shinji thought. He played back memories in his head, looking for one that worked. He came across one; he was sitting in his EVA looking at the comm. link. He could make out Asuka's face in it. He heard her say:" I am the great Asuka Souryu Langley!". Shinji snapped himself out of his memory.
"Asuka? No.can't be.can it?" Shinji looked at the auburn haired girl. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep.
'What the hell is wrong with me! Asuka hates me! Even though..' Shinji thought, but Toji whacking him on the shoulder interrupted him.
"Come on Shinji. Lets get back to your place." Toji said, and the three left hurriedly.
The three made it back before Misato and Asuka, thankfully. The three "stooges" closed the door to Shinji's room and sat down and began to eliminate every student. Finally when they were done, the clock read 10:45. After the real world had sunk back in, shouts could be heard.
"SHINJI! DAMNIT ANSWER! WE'RE REALLY HUNGRY OUT HERE!" Misato cried
"SHINJI GET YOUR LASY ASS OUT HERE BEFORE I DRAG IT OUT FOR YOU!" Asuka screamed.
"Oh shit.I'm screwed. Nice knowing you guys." Shinji said. He stood up and walked to the door and pulled it open.
The next few minuets were constant berate from Misato, and then Asuka in unison they finished.
"Shinji, can you please make dinner? Would you boys like to join us?" Misato asked. Shinji sulked off to the kitchen and Toji and Kensuke said yes to Misato's offer and were asking her all sorts of questions and staring at her as if she was a goddess. Well, maybe to them.
Dinner was a nightmare; Toji and Kensuke ate and watched Misato's breasts. Asuka was complaining that the "stooges" were eating dinner in "her" house and that Misato should smack the hell out of them for staring at her breasts. Misato just blew Asuka off and asked Toji and Kensuke to stop, politely, and they did. Other then that incident, dinner was smooth. No fights, no screaming, no problems. Shinji sighed when he collected everyone's plates, nothing bad happened and he was relived.
"Shinji, we should work on the list some more. My mom said I have another hour." Toji said as he hung up the phone and Kensuke picked it up.
"Alright. I'm almost done." Shinji responded, not really caring.
"What list? Shinji?" Misato asked. Shinji almost broke a dish when Misato asked. "Nothing. It's for a project!" Shinji said hurriedly.
"We don't have a project due baka." Asuka intervened.
"For the 3 of us we do." Kensuke said covering Shinji.
"Ok." Misato said with a smile. She turned back to the T.V. and took a gulp of beer. The three of the slid past the suspicious Asuka as she watched them like a Hawk.
"Phew. I though we were screwed back there." Toji said as they got into Shinji's room. Kensuke agreed.
"Tomorrow is the dance, I think we might just have to wait until that time. The dance starts in the afternoon and goes into the evening." Shinji said. The three nodded and began to think.
"But who can it be? We've crossed out ever single person!" Kensuke pondered.
"I know. It could be a joke." Shinji said as he looked at the other 2 men.
"Shinji, if we would have done this, it would have been over long ago. This is well though out and planned way far in advance, or it's just someone who's really smart." Kensuke said, his face as serious as ever. Shinji nodded in agreement.
Finally after an hour the "stooges" left and everything was back to normal. Shinji went to bed earlier then normal and Misato got suspicious so she went to check on him. Shinji was awake staring at the ceiling.
"Shinji?" Misato asked.
"Yes?" Shinji answered from his bed.
"What's up? There's something wrong, I'd like to know." Misato said as she crossed the room and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"It's nothing." Shinji said and he rolled away from Misato.
"Is it that project? Is it due soon and you're rushing to get it done?" Misato asked, noticing the list on his bedside table, she looked at it from her position.
"Yeah." Shinji said, his voice muffled by the sheets.
"Alright. Good Night." Misato said as she smiled and left. Shinji rolled so he was facing the ceiling again.
'Who is it.Who ever it is, I should tell Asuka that.' Shinji thought, and before he could finish, he slipped into a sleep.
~ Shinji awoke early the next morning, and prepared himself for this afternoons events. Misato went into work for a few hours and Asuka dragged him around the mall with Hikari. Shinji served as a bag carrier. He complained a few times, but he didn't want to encounter Asuka's wrath in the mall. Shinji was bought a few clothes because he only had his uniform and a pair of jeans.
"Why'd I have to carry all your and Hikari's stuff?" Shinji asked when they got home.
"Because I said so." Asuka said as she flopped down onto the couch. Shinji took his stuff to his room to try it on. Strangely, it fit perfectly, even though he didn't tell Asuka his size. Shinji let it go, as he sat down at his laptop to try and decode the messages from the secret lover.
"These make no sense. Each one is written in a different way. Almost like the person was attempting to make me confused because they knew I was trying to figure it out, like they were watching me the whole time." Shinji said to himself. He continued to look at it until Misato got home and told them to get ready. She was taking them in 15 minuets. Shinji put on what he had gotten today. A pair of tan slacks, and a button down shirt, to top it off, he put on the leather jacket it got for his birthday. He waited for Asuka to come out and for Misato to take them. The car ride was less the enjoyable. Almost hitting a tractor-trailer, and then almost getting hit by a rail car wasn't exactly a nice car ride.
"LOOK OUT!" Shinji cried as the were almost hit again, but it was too soon, Misato gunned it and beat the car and they made it to school in one piece.
"Next time we can WALK!" Asuka said as she got out the car and smoothed out her dress. The two of them were silent as they made their way to the cafeteria where the dance was. As soon as they walked in, they separated. Shinji stood by the drinks with Toji.
"Hey Toji." Shinji said as he picked up a glass.
"Yo." Toji said, his voice trailing off, he looked deep into the crowd.
"What's up?" Shinji asked. He looked at his friend; he had never seen the look on his face that was there now.
"Nothing.. I just want.." Toji couldn't bring himself to tell Shinji.
"Do you want to dance with a girl? Maybe.. Hikari?" Shinji said with a little smirk. Toji face faulted.
"Dude. How'd you know?" Toji asked as he picked himself up.
"Come on! Everyone knows. Out of everyone you attempt to be nice to her, and I've heard you talk in your sleep about her. I think she likes you too. She is so mean to you, and not really to others. She gives you extra work when you clean after school." Shinji said as he slowly walked away to a chair by the DJ booth.
"Shinji!" A cheery voice called. Shinji looked up to be facing Hikari.
"Hello Class Rep." Shinji said with a smile.
"Don't be so formal! Call me Hikari!" She said with a smile.
"Alright then Hikari. What can I do for you?" Shinji asked with a smile.
"Well, I was wondering if Suzuhara wanted to dance with me? He's been looking at me the whole time. Should we make him jealous?" She said with a laugh and a sweet smile.
"Actually he does, and I agree. Lets." Shinji said. The two of them got up and began to dance.
Toji watched and crushed his cup in his hands. He watched hopelessly from his position for another minuet. He finally pulled himself off the table and crossed the floor to Shinji and Hikari.
"Excuse me, but I believe this dance belongs to me Shinji." Toji said grinning.
"All yours sir." Shinji said as he let go of Hikari and let Toji take care of it. Shinji retreated back to the seat he was in. He watched for a few more minuets then went to get another drink.
Shinji sighed as he walked over to the drink fountain and poured some punch into a cup. He finished the drink when his cell phone went off. He looked at it and opened the text message.
Dear Shinji,
Looks like it's time eh? Well, go out the door, then left into the sunny hallway over looking the courtyard. See you there.
Shinji took this moment and made is way to Toji to tell him.
"Toji. It's time. I'm going in. Be back soon." Shinji said he put his hand on his friends shoulder and he nodded.
Shinji made his way out the door, left and into the sunny hallway. He looked out the large bay window. It showed the beautiful sunset over the horizon, with mount Fuji in the distance.
"It's about time that you showed up. I've been waiting for you." A voice called from behind. Shinji wheeled around to face..
AU: I know Mount Fuji isn't anywhere near Tokyo.is it. My mother went to Japan when I was like 5 and she told me, now I don't remember. Chill with it. Cliffhanger eh?
