AN: Whee, next chappie~! BTW, I noticed a reviewer mentioned that I didn't
follow the facts. Hmm...I don't know about you, but I believe I stated
"AU" in the summary. "AU" means "Alternate Universe", aka "The ability to
do whatever the hell I want, facts and canon be damned." So don't try
going to lecture me when I clearly stated - THIS ISN'T EVA-VERSE!! This is
my universe. Kaoru and Shinji can do whatever I want them to do. Sorry
for bitching, but it annoyed me that someone thought they could tell me
what I could and couldn't do with *my* fanfiction. Hmm....ever hear of
artistic license?
Chapter Two: The Do's And Don't's Of Wishes
Shinji continued to stare in his mind-locked position. His brain was currently trying to jumpstart itself, but every time it was stopped by the sight of Tabris floating a good two inches off the floor.
Must say something; pretty Angel will think I'm stupid. Shinji's brain managed to putter along with this.
"....Um, hi. I'm Shinji."
....That was even worse than staring vacantly.....
Tabris, however, was not deterred by Shinji's stunning lack of vocabulary. (It seemed he wasn't deterred by much of anything.) He merely grinned and plopped down on the floor in front of Shinji. Shinji just continued to stare.
The Angel finally decided to displace the silence. "Well, Shinji-kun, now that I'm here, we're going to have to decide on your wish, aren't we?"
This definitely caught Shinji's attention. "My wish?"
Tabris nodded. "Hai, your wish. You get one wish, courtesy of moi, that will make you generally happy, or at least really close."
Shinji blinked. "And...there's no limit to this wish?"
Tabris cocked his head. "Ah, well, there's a few....such as 'no wishing for world destruction', 'no wishing new people into existence', and 'no wishing someone's immediate death'. There's loopholes around those, but you don't seem like the person who would exploit them. Also, you can't make a wish that would screw with the emotions of another person, or yourself for that matter."
"Myself?"
"You can't just wish yourself happy, it has to be something to make you so."
"Ah."
They sat in silence for a while, Shinji mulling over what had just happened and Tabris watching Shinji. Shinji happened to notice the calming effect the Angel had over him. Funny, when he's here, I don't feel alone or sad at all....
Without thinking, Shinji said, "I wish an Angel like you would stay with me forever...."
Shinji fell backwards as a bright light emitted from Tabris. He shielded his eyes. What the....?
When the glow faded, Tabris was sitting there just as he had before, his crimson eyes closed. He opened to smile warmly at Shinji.
"You're wish has been granted."
Shinji blinked. "But I didn't wish..."
The Angel shook his head. "Even if you said it unintentionally, you meant it from your heart, and it would truly make you happy. So it was processed and granted."
The brunette college student gulped. "And...just how was it granted..?"
"Just like you said it, of course."
"Which is....?"
Tabris smiled, which had the effect of making Shinji nervous, rather than relaxed.
"Why, by me staying with you forever, of course!"
~TBC~ AN:.....I don't think I need to say anything. XD *waves* Thankies to reviewers! More is forthcoming!
