Shinji's Journal
Chapter 5: A Kiss/Baby Revelations
*knock**knock*
The sound of knuckles rapping against a door could be heard throughout the apartment.
"Shinji?" A timid Asuka called through the closed door. "Shinji, can I come in?"
A muffled grunt could be heard coming from the room. Asuka wasn't sure how to take this, so she entered. Asuka took in Shinji's living quarters. It was neat and tidy, exactly what she expected from the boy. Her eyes wandered for about a minute before finally coming to rest on his bed. Shinji was lying there on his stomach, covering his head with a pillow. Asuka felt extremely guilty over this whole situation. It was her fault for bringing back old memories. She slowly made her way over to his bed, taking a seat at it's foot. She wasn't used to this, she had never had to apologize, comfort, or console anyone ever before. She wasn't quite sure how to proceed, but she had seen some movies before, and decided to follow that example. Movies, however, are dramas. Therefore, following one can only lead to just that, drama. Asuka didn't now this though, so she started with the first thing that usually happened in movies. She slowly reached out and ran her hand softly up his arm. It was a nice feeling for both of them. For Shinji, it was comfort and kindness, something he had yet to receive from the German girl. For Asuka, it was incredible, the energy that this boy gave off. His soul seemed to reach out from his skin and lift her own.
"Shinji?" Asuka whispered.
"Yes?" Shinji asked as he turned his head.
"." As Shinji's eyes came into view Asuka immediately noticed something, he had been crying. The red swelling around his lids was evidence enough, not to mention that his face was all wet. "I. I'm so sorry." This came out a bit strangled as Asuka tried to keep her composure.
Shinji smiled, he knew she was telling the truth. "It's fine Asuka. I know that you care a lot about Hikari. It's remarkable that you two could become such close friends in such a short time. I'm sure if I had heard a similar story with Rei in Hikari's place, I wouldn't have waited for the ending either." Shinji saw that this wasn't enough to convince Asuka that it was ok. So Shinji decided to take a cue from the movies as well, and enfolded her in a warm embrace.
Asuka was extremely surprised at this. She was not used to dealing with this sort of affection. In fact, she wasn't even sure what it meant. The only type of affection she had even been remotely exposed to was that of lovers. So this is what she took it as. So as Shinji pulled his head back to tell her that it was ok, she took action. Asuka put one of her hands behind his head and gently tilted it towards hers. As this was happening she drew her own lips right in front of his, and finally made contact. It was a nice kiss, it lasted for maybe about a minute. Just long enough for Shinji to get his bearings and realize what was happening.
"Asuka! W. . . Wha. . . WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Shinji whispered harshly.
At first, Asuka was surprised by his words, then she felt hurt, confused, tricked, betrayed, and finally angry. Unfortunately for Shinji, Anger was most strongly manifested.
"BAKA!" Asuka's eyes were watering as she yelled the insult. Now it was Shinji's turn to be confused. He stared up at Asuka with a look of bewilderment.
*Smack*
Asuka delivered a very hard, very fast, very sudden slap to Shinji's face, and then fled his room in tears.
Shinji just sat there, eyes wide, and mouth gawking as he watched the red- headed figure dash out of his room. He was confused, nothing new there, and it didn't help that the other two current occupants of the apartment saw the tearful girl. In seconds Rei and Misato had run into the room.
"Shinji? What is it? What happened?" Rei was already at his side, an arm around his shoulders.
"Yeah, what'd ya' do to her? I've known her for a while and I know that she's not one to cry." Misato stated knowledgably.
"I. . . I. . . she. . . she kissed me!" Shinji managed to get out while still recovering from the shock of it all.
"SHE WHAT?!" Now it was Rei's turn to go emotional. Not even the girls from school would kiss Shinji against his own free will. That's when it hit her. . . 'Did he let her kiss him?'
"U. . . um, Shinji? Did you. . . want her to?" Rei's fear and sadness was lingering on the edge of her mostly level tone. Shinji caught her unease and decided to put it to rest.
"Rei, you're the only one I want to kiss." Shinji turned to Rei and embraced her, showing her his love. Then he drew her back a bit and gave her a long, deep, and emotional kiss.
"Aaawww. . ." There was that annoying noise again this time coming from Misato.

Meanwhile, in a room directly Across the hall, a beautiful red-headed girl was lying on her bed. It was obvious from her eyes that she had been crying. The lids were all red and swollen. Her whites were blood shot, and her pupils were large because there were no lights on. Asuka was in inner turmoil. In a way, she was surprised at her own actions. She would have never committed such a bluntly open act of affection before. No, not until she met Shinji. In just two days, she had already fallen head-over- heels for the guy. Why? He wasn't very muscular, he wasn't a super-model, he definitely wasn't a rocket-scientist. Why did she fall for someone with so little going for him? Then it hit her, he had EVERYTHING going for him. Well, everything that really matters anyway. He could make her feel loved and accepted. His body emanated a warm aura of comfort that set her soul at ease. He cared for every person regardless of their past. Asuka made a strange connection in her mind at that moment. She remembered back in Germany when she had been made to go to church. Asuka remembered the man which most of experience was focused on. Jesus, that was his name, what remarkable similarities there were. Both Jesus and Shinji loved everyone, they both healed everyone, and they both were willing to sacrifice themselves for what they believed in. Asuka knew that Shinji was going to be an EVA pilot. He didn't even gripe about it, all he thought about was how he could protect Rei. Asuka's mind drifted off on that subject, and soon she was asleep. . .
