Rei's soft chin rubbed against Shinji's. There was the sense of both pain and happiness in her mind but also, undoubtedly, there was a sense of relief. The relief that Shinji was alright. She wouldn't have been able to live with herself if Shinji had died. No matter how much he had hurt her, no matter how much Shinji became her nightmare, Rei would never stop loving him. She would not stand the fact that he would die out of sorrow for what he did for her.
"I love you, Shinji..." The words rolled off of Rei's tongue like she had practiced for countless hours; it was natural.
Shinji stared blankly at Rei. He didn't know how to react. The shock came to him, that no matter what he did, Rei would always love him. A stab of guilt hit Shinji. To him, there was nothing more precious in the world than Rei. He had realized that when he vowed his love to her the night before. He could feel the soft braces of the cloth around her eyes.
"I'm sorry..." Shinji didn't know what else to say.
"Don't say that," Rei choked," It's my fault, I should've listened to you..." Rei sniveled, but Shinji couldn't see if she was crying or not. Shinji felt stabs of pain. It hurt to watch Rei in pain. It hurt so much to watch such a beautiful girl in agony and even worse to know you have caused it.
"I don't want to be like this, Rei," Shinji said.
Rei calmed down a little, "Can you forgive me?"
"Rei... Can you forgive me? What I did was stupid."
"Of course, I know you didn't mean it..." Rei lips curved a little to a iridescent smile.
Shinji caressed her face. He hugged her slender waist. Rei stayed by him throughout the night. As the night air cooled the room, Rei crawled into Shinji's sheets. The warmth of the two bodies made the scene more magical. Shinji closed his eyes. He savored this moment so much. He then felt the soft clothing with his fingers. Another internal stab of pain.
"What happened?" Shinji whispered to what seemed like almost asleep Rei.
"What?" Rei whispered back. There was happiness in her voice, no longer holding the grim strain of despair. It chimed Shinji's heart but didn't take away his worries.
"You eyes... what happened?"
"The medicine I take for restraining my angel powers... an overdose... can either kill you or have temporal vision loss..." Rei whispered, hoping that this didn't hurt Shinji. But her fears were confirmed.
"Temporal vision loss?"
"Yes," Rei said softly. Her hands ran through Shinji's smooth hair, reassuring him that it would be alright.
"I want you to stop taking those." Shinji said sternly.
"Why? Don't you mind me being..."
"No. I don't, Rei, I said it before..." Rei felt bad. She didn't think that what she did for Shinji would hurt him so. She didn't mind losing her vision in order to make Shinji a happier person. In the face of that, her vision was not any price to pay at all, although Rei didn't think it would hurt Shinji so much.
"Do you have to wear the bandages?"
"Yes, until my eyes heal..." She could feel her words effecting Shinji.
There was a moment of silence.
"I'm sorry..." Rei apologized, feeling guilt for Shinji's pain.
"Don't be." Shinji hugged Rei tighter.
"No, Shinji. I'm the reason you're here in this hospital right now, I'm the reason you were hit by a car, I'm the reason for the many problems in you life. It's not fair to you that I have to cause you more pain in a time where you need comfort."
"You need comfort more than I do, Rei. I am the cause of all the pain in your life as well..."
Rei giggled very softly. Shinji smiled. He didn't know Rei was capable of seeing the bright side of things like this; only one more reason to love her more.
"The irony of our love..." she said softly and kissed Shinji deeply; it was magical.
The morning sun was radiant. Rei opened her eyes for the first time in a week. She lay next to her love, Shinji. Their bodies were entangled with each other. Her nimble fingers took off the bandages. There was a sense of relief that flooded over her body. Her vision first began as a blur, then slowly it returned to normal. She saw Shinji... her heart jumped. She had gotten up and now kneeled next to him to remove her bandages. She smiled at the boy. Rei wore a shirt and undergarments, but as Shinji woke up with his love, there was sense of excitement when he looked at the devastatingly attractive girl who was wearing just a soft white shirt.
"Rei, you're beautiful..." Shinji said softly as the morning sun's light shined through his apartment's window. Rei blushed a little.
"Thank you, Shin-chan, but I'm not as cute as you are..." With that, Rei planted her lips on Shinji's.
Shinji finally saw Rei's brilliant ruby eyes again. Bliss filled him at happiness of the sight.
"I love you, Shinji."
"I know, I love you too."
Shinji continued the kiss, running his fingers through Rei's soft and gentle hair. Rei didn't complain; she held herself next to Shinji. The pair were lying down... Rei inched closer and closer to Shinji...
Suddenly, the door bell rang. There was sigh of regret from both Rei and Shinji. They smiled sweetly at each other.
"I love you." They said in unison. The door bell rang again.
"Okay, I'm coming!" Shinji shouted irritated.
He trudged over to the door and opened. It was Asuka, with a bright smile on her face.
"Hey. Baka! You forgot all about the Spring Festival! We were supposed to go today!"
"Oh..."
"Yeah... WHAT THE HELL!" Rei appeared next to Shinji in her near naked appearance.
"HENTAI!"
"No, no wait..." Shinji was desperate. Asuka looked away. Shinji opened the door further, but didn't notice that Hikari, Touji, and Kensuke were behind the door too; they all saw.
Shinji blushed heavily and slammed the door shut.
Rei looked with confusion from behind him.
"Why are you blushing...?"
Shinji laughed a little.
"They think I'm a pervert..." he said sadly.
"Why? I don't think you are." Shinji smiled at Rei's innocence.
"Never mind."
Rei smiled.
"There is a Spring Festival?"
"Yes." Shinji sat down still blushing. "The Cherry Blossom Festival."
Rei smiled.
"It sounds romantic..." Rei teased.
Shinji smiled.
"I'll go with you!" Rei decided.
Shinji retained his smile.
Rei giggled and hugged Shinji.
"When do we leave?"
The soft cherry petals flew from the sky. The air was warm and soothing. Kensuke wandered around with his camera, photographing his surroundings. He aimed his lens at his friends. Asuka laughed out loud and playfully hit Shinji's left arm as Touji and Hikari giggled and laughed with her. Rei, on the other hand, hugged tightly to Shinji's other arm. Shinji bore a childish smile on his face, a smile of pure bliss. Rei was wearing a light cerulean kimono with little white rabbits painted on it. Shinji was in a traditional blue kimono set. Asuka wore a vibrant shade of crimson, while Touji had on a cream white color. Hikari was in a yellow kimono with red spots, and Kensuke had dressed himself in a black kimono. Happiness filled the air as the friends conversed to each other. Often times, Kensuke would try to film Rei and Shinji kissing, but the end result was Shinji holding his hand in front of the lens. Asuka and Hikari would tease Rei about what they last night. Touji and Kensuke did the same with Shinji. The group went to get some treats. The cherry blossoms rained, the crowds were in harmony, the noise was living, the spring air filled the day with a scent of happiness, and the bond between Rei and Shinji grew ever stronger.
As they walked over to the stand holding some rice cakes, a girl with a lavishing green kimono appeared. Shinji recognized her... Fumiko.
Shinji stopped, paralyzed.
"Shinji?" Fumiko spotted him.
Rei looked up in horror.
"Fumiko..." Shinji said, a stab of guilt hitting him.
"Shinji?" Rei questioned her lover.
"It's a nice day, isn't it?" Fumiko smiled to Shinji and looked Rei. The two stared at each other for a second...
"It was..." Shinji said solemnly.
