Kitty Kasumi: Sorry to keep you waiting...I think I had writers' block or
something...whatever it was, I needed therapy...

"Don't look so shocked...he just fell asleep." Toji watched on, speechless, as the nurse gently lowered Kaworu's limp figure onto the bed. "Oh, I'm sorry Suzuhara! There's another visitor for you!"
Suddenly intrigued by the proclamation, Toji looked around and swore that he saw a blushing, freckled face turn away from the doorway. The pitter- patter of light running footsteps could be heard moments later.
**********
"Fuck it...I'm such a coward...why am I running...?"
"Because you are afraid..." Rei's unmistakable icy tone stopped Kensuke in his tear-filled tracks. The flawless angel stood imperiously before him, looking down upon him with her ruby eyes. Kensuke tried to recompose himself, but as he realized that it was no use, he forced himself to meet her eyes with his now half-blind ones.
The sight that met him put him off guard instantly. Rei's porcelain pale face remained as dispassionate as ever, but her fiery eyes were filled with a compassion that no mere mortal could achieve. She reached inside her shirt pocket gracefully and pulled out a packet of tissues. Kensuke stared for a while before his runny nose made him reflexively reach out at the offer.
"You are afraid, but why should you be afraid when you are already loves?" She tilted her head on its side slightly, as if to reinforce her bemusement. Kensuke stared even harder, with a look of confusion to match Rei's.
"I'm only his friend - his best friend - but I'm not his lover!!!" Rei seemed satisfied with this answer as she blinked and returned to her authoritative stance.
"You misunderstand me, Aida-kun, I said 'love' not 'lover'. The label 'friend' could be used to describe a person to assist you in establishing the person that is you. The label 'lover' could be used to describe a person you take and give pleasure from, a desperate escape from reality. A 'love' is much deeper than any of these...and yet so much more simple...a 'love' is, in the most simple terms, your other half. You notice everything special when you interact with him, it is just that your labeling him as a friend, suppresses the notion of him being, in reality, much deeper to you."
//A/N - did everybody out there understand that? ^_^//
Kensuke stood there, mesmerized by the truth flowing into him with such intensity. Rei was right...but it still didn't help him from being the fraidie-cat that he was. Rei swept past him, and as she did, her final whispers sent a massive blush to his cheeks.
"Your thoughts and desires have no effect on the purity of your love..."
**********
As Toji slept, a familiar sensation pulled him from his present dream and into a limitless world of white. He felt slightly disturbed as he found comfort in the endless gentle rain of sleek, black feathers. A sudden burst of these feathers confirmed his instincts.
Bardiel was in his mind again.
Despite what everyone had witnessed when the 13th Angel had attacked, Toji had suffered no pain as he chatted to the chibi that represented Bardiel - the only pain he felt was when the chibi disappeared and when he had his limbs torn apart.
"Hello, Suzuhara-san?"
"Hello, Bardiel-sama, what brings you from your comfy cloud?" Toji responded as the chibi ran into his arms. Without thinking, Toji transformed into the loving brother that he was, and started tickling the defenseless Angel with one of the feathers.
"Stop it Suzuhara-san!!! Heeheehee...no!!! You're so mean!!!"
"Ok then, why *are* you here, hmm?"
"Tabris-san said that you needed a guardian angel." The world of white melted and they were transported to into a world of soft hues of blues and pink. They were sitting on Bardiel's favorite cloud.
"Guardian Angel, huh? Well, who is Tabris-san?"
"Well...he said if he wasn't already someone else's, then he would have been yours...but he likes who he is looking after...and uh..." The chibi squirmed a bit and blushed, "I'm sorry Suzuhara-san, he isn't here...if you wanted to meet him..." The chibi started to draw a quick portrait of Tabris on the cloud.
"Hey! That's Kaworu!!!" Toji blinked as he realized that it didn't surprise as much as it should have - after all, what sort of a normal person could heal such terrible afflictions? "He's already someone else's guardian angel?"
The chibi drew another portrait that was unmistakably Shinji. Toji couldn't help but burst out laughing when the chibi enclosed the two in a large love- heart.
"Why do you find it so funny, Suzuhara-san? Ikari-san has been through so much pain, why do you laugh at him when he finds an Angel to love him?"
"It's just, well...I have nothing against it really...I always thought that Shinji would go for one of the girls - Ayanami, or maybe even...nah - but then, well, he falls for a guy that he's known for less time than I've been in this fucking hospital...as I said, nothing against it..." The chibi turned around in Toji's arms and glared at the teen. "Oh, right, I shouldn't have said the 'f' word..."
The chibi's smile didn't reassure Toji - it seemed a little too evil for a chibi. All off a sudden, another burst of black feathers blinded him. As soon as the flurry cleared, he felt a pair of arms wrap loosely around his neck and shoulders, and found himself staring into a pair of beautiful (even if they were spectacled) jade-colored eyes...
**********
"Hey, isn't my conscience supposed to resemble what I look like?"
"Yes...but who ever said that we were your conscience?" Kensuke was dealing with chibi's of his own - except they were in the forms of Rei and Kaworu. "We've been informed by Tabris that you are totally confused about your current predicament."
"I HAVE NO PREDICAMENT!!!!!!!!"
"Even in his sleep he lies...I think I like him." Said the chibi-Rei, who was wearing a chibi-demon outfit. "Yes, you do have a predicament!!! Hit it chibi-Kaworu!!!"
Kensuke paled as he realized what was happening around him. He was wearing a NERV Lieutenant's uniform and was alone on top of the MAGI structure. Doors slid open and closed and he now faced the charming, cocky, and slightly arousing smile of his fellow bridge bunny, Toji Suzuhara...
"PAUSE!!!" The chibi-Kaworu had lost the remote control, which resulted in the fantasy running in its entirety, and causing Kensuke to feel very uncomfortable - in more ways than one. "Ah...baka-chibi!!! Anyway...if that wasn't enough to convince you...we have, the sappy side of our argument."
"Tsk, tsk, don't we have a dirty mind here?" Giggled chibi-Kaworu, who was flying around in an angel getup - his fluorescent halo flickered on and off for a moment. "It is NOT sappy!!!"
"Yes it is - now get on with it, before Tabris holds our clouds hostage!!!" The chibi-Kaworu seemed flustered at this new prospect. It flew up and conjured the silver necklace from ages ago.
"You have a predicament, and it isn't as bad as you think - what do you think will happen when you confront him? What do you think will happen when you confront him with your emotions? What is it that you fear so much?"
"What if he rejects me?"
"Then it will be as if you never confronted him at all - you will still be the best of friends...there is no losing situation for you." the chibi- Kaworu pressed the necklace into Kensuke's hands and flew off to an unknown destination. Before the chibi-Rei followed, she pressed the replay button on the remote control...
//A/N - well...this is a fluff, but if enough requests come in, we'll write a R rated side-story ^_~//
**********
"How did you end up here?"
"I fell asleep. Did I worry you Shin-chan? Gomen-nasai..."
"You fell asleep??? Ah...don't apologize...if my eyes don't deceive me, I think I understand why..." A light kiss was heard in the near distance as Toji tried to adjust his vision. Shinji, on his EVA pilot reflexes, whirled around as he mentally felt the new conscious presence.
"Hey Shinji...long time no see..." Toji smiled as he saw the distinct blush on his friend's face, "Hey, no fear, I know everything..."
Shinji turned from Kaworu to Toji in a surprised frenzy. Kaworu's puzzled expression indicated that he had nothing to do with it. Toji smiled again, although this time with a hint of smugness.
"Good morning to you too, Suzuhara Toji. I am dismissed from the hospital, so I must leave you now...please be patient, our game is not over yet..." He pulled the now quite mystified Shinji into a comforting and passionate kiss and as the couple left hand in hand, Toji wondered if the enigmatic Nagisa Kaworu heard his response.
"I'll be waiting Tabris-san!!!"

Kitty Kasumi: Sorry, that was sort of an interlude...I promise that they will get together next chapter!!!
Neoangel: We need to work out some of our kinks after not writing for so long.
Rei: Ah, miss Neoangel...Ikari-kun, Nagisa-kun, Suzuhara-kun, and Aida-kun wish to have a yaoi foursome...what action should we take???
Misato: I say let them have their yaoi foursome, grab a beanbag, and enjoy the show!!!
Ritsuko: Don't forget the beer!!!
Kitty Kasumi and Neoangel: -_-;;; what the hell, why not...hey gals!!! Wait for us!!!
