**Author's notes**
Hi guys I'm back! Ok! This fic is the epilogue to the other two fics in the D.I.L..Y. series.
Disclaimer: I do own all of these characters and all of Gainax! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!! *Wakes up from writing induced hallucination.* What? …Oh crap-_-;…*reality*
I don't own any of these characters. They are all owned by Gainax .
Btw this takes place after Asuka's sync ratio goes down. (This is not in the series so I'm not referring to after the angle rapes Asuka's mind, ok? Good.)
Ok, now that I'm done all of my pre-fic ramblings you can scroll down and read the fic! =)
Confessions of love
"I'm worthless!" screamed Asuka, fuming. The two pilots had been arguing for an hour, "That's not true Asuka! I don't think your worthless! Neither do Misato or Hikari!" Shinji pleaded.
"So what?! Who cares what you think, and as for Misato and Hikari they don't really care either," Asuka countered. Shinji, who was obviously hurt by Asuka's comment about him, shouted,
"Fine! I'm only trying to show you the truth, that's all! You're gonna have to realize that people care about you sooner or later!" and as he said this, Shinji got up and started to leave. Just as he reached the door however, he heard Asuka whisper, almost inaudibly,
"Please don't leave, Shinji…"
Shinji turned around slowly to see Asuka crying.
"I'm so sorry, Shinji," she sobbed loudly, "I-I shouldn't have said that! Please forgive me!"
To her self, at this time, Asuka thought, 'I should tell him how I feel now…' The truth was, she'd been thinking of doing this for months. Meanwhile, Shinji was dumbfounded by her words. 'Did she apologize? To *me*?'
Asuka was still sobbing loudly, but finally she choked out,
"Shinji! I-I love you, Shinji Ikari! I've loved you since we first met; I just couldn't tell you because of my stupid pride, "she whined, "I'm so sorry, Shinji, I shouldn't have been so mean to you all that time."
Asuka hung her head in shame; it was a sight Shinji was very unused to.
"It's ok if you don't forgive me, I-" she continued, but she was cut short when Shinji abruptly lifted her chin and kissed her lovingly, right on the lips. He stopped long enough to say,
"Asuka, I forgive you! I've loved you for a long time as well…I love you, Asuka."
Now it was Asuka's turn to be dumbstruck,
'He forgave m-me? I thought, surely he'd reject me but…he loves me, too?'
Shinji's mind was racing as well,
'Did I say something wrong? Oh, what if I was wrong?! I can't believe she really loves me, I thought it was all one-sided. Could it be a trick of some sort? A joke, perhaps?'
Before Shinji could do any more thinking, Asuka recovered and rebounded with a very passionate kiss which Shinji returned gratefully. It seemed, to them, to last a very long time and was very pleasurable indeed. They only ended the kiss for air.
"Shinji, why do you think I call you 'baka' all the time?" asked Asuka a few minutes later.
"Because," replied Shinji slowly, "because you were annoyed?"
"Well, yes, but it's because you're my baka, Shinji, my darling baka Shinji!" Asuka beamed, suddenly in a much better mood.
"Oh, um, wow! Thanks Asuka…chan," Shinji added the 'chan' hesitantly.
"You're welcome, Shinji-kun!" giggled Asuka.
A little while later, after some more making out, Shinji yawned and said,
"It's getting late you know, we should probably get to bed…"
"Ok, you can go to bed on one condition," said Asuka mysteriously.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"I get to *sleep* in your bed with you!" said Asuka with a huge wink.
Shinji flushed. "Eh…ah…ok…"
After the children had gotten settled, Shinji whispered to Asuka,
"I love you."
Asuka smiled in the darkness and nipped lovingly at his ear as she snuggled in closer…
"I love you too, Shinji-kun."
And with that, they both fell into the blissful oblivion of sleep…
****well I'm done and I hope you enjoyed it!
