Part 3 - An Interesting Picnic
Saturday morning raced through quickly enough. Shinji was woken up bright and early when a cute and barely clad German redhead climbed on top of him. "Wake up, Baka!" Asuka yelled, her mouth almost touching Shinji's left earlobe. With a start, Shinji opened his eyes and looked around the room. A second after his eye's met with Asuka's, Shinji was again lying on his back, the red impression of a hand burning brightly against his face. "How DARE you look at me when I'm not fully dressed! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you pervert! Now get up and make me breakfast." And with that, Asuka marched out of Shinji's room, slamming the door so it slid shut.
Shinji lay back upon the bed, lacing his hands behind his head. After taking a few breaths, he pulled with ear buds out of his ears and put away his SDAT. Putting on a robe, Shinji waited outside the bathroom until Pen- Pen had gotten out and then bathed and brushed his teeth. Going back into his room, he got dressed into his school uniform.
Shinji clenched his hand into a tight fist. Taking several breaths, Shinji clenched and unclenched his hand for a minute, working up the courage to go outside into the kitchen. After finally firming his resolve, Shinji opened the door and walked outside to face Asuka and whatever torture she had prepared for him.
Walking into the kitchen, Shinji was met with a grumpy Asuka and a drunken Misato. Ignoring the loud belch coming from the nearly undressed adult and the stream of German curses that came from the red-head, now dressed in her school uniform, Shinji went about preparing breakfast.
After giving Misato, Asuka and Pen-Pen each a serving of their individual breakfasts, Shinji went about preparing lunches for Asuka, Yui and himself. As Shinji hadn't told Misato or Asuka about his "date," Shinji made his and Asuka's bentos first and after Misato and Asuka had left the kitchen, he went about secretly making the third lunch. Setting out Asuka's bento on the table, Shinji put the two he would need for his picnic in his backpack and headed to the door.
"I'm heading out now," Shinji yelled and he left before he heard an answer from either Asuka or Misato. Walking out of the apartment complex, Shinji turned and started to walk towards Kensuke's house, which was only a slight detour from school. With luck, he would catch Kensuke before he had left for school.
He wasn't lucky though, but not because he had missed Kensuke. Instead, he had only taken a few steps towards Kensuke's house before he received a blow to his head that left him sprawling on the pavement. "Baka, why did you leave before I was ready?" Asuka yelled at Shinji. Shinji could only look down at the ground, away from Asuka as he got up and dusted himself off.
"I'm sorry," Shinji said. "You always complain about walking with me so I thought you would like it if I didn't walk with you." Asuka glared at Shinji for a few seconds and with a Hrumph, started walking towards school. Shinji stood there, confused for a moment and then started running to catch up to her when he realized that he needed to be getting to school.
Asuka and Shinji arrived just before the school bell rang and so they didn't have time to chat with their friends before class started. The half day of class was almost a total waste as Math, Science and English class were taken up by the ramblings of their teacher regarding his life before second impact. Most of the students were asleep before the teacher had even taken a breath.
Finally, the class rep dismissed them for the weekend and the students broke up into their various social groups. Asuka and Hikari got together and left to do whatever it was they did when they were together and Rei just left the room without once talking to any of the students nor the teacher. She did look at Shinji once before she left, but he was busy, engaged in conversation with Touji and Kensuke and so, he didn't catch her glance.
"Well, I'm going to visit my sister, I'll catch up with you two tonight" Touji told his friends and he grabbed his things, racing out of the room. Kensuke turned to Shinji and said, "Well, I'm going out for the day. Wargames, you know." He turned away from Shinji and began to walk out the door.
"Do you want to come?" Kensuke asked, a hint of hopefulness in his voice.
"Sorry," Shinji told him, "I have things I have to do."
Kensuke put on an obviously fake smile and gave an equally fake chortle. "Yeah, I know, NERV stuff, right?" He moved closer to Shinji, and said with a low whisper, "Hey, make sure you get me some top secret information, OK?" When Shinji nodded, a real smile replaced Kensuke's fake one and he almost skipped out the door.
With the people he was worried might find out about his date firmly out of the picture, Shinji waited outside of the schools main door. Students continued to stream out the door for almost a half hour. After it seemed that he was the only person left on the schools campus, Shinji got up and prepared to leave, disappointed and yet somewhat reassured by the fact that he had been stood up.
"Where are you going? Did you forget we had a date?" Shinji let out a yell as spun around too see Yui, who was smiling cheerfully, with her hands folded behind her.
"I thought that you weren't going to show up," Shinji told her. Pausing a moment, Shinji looked t her and asked, "Where have you been anyway?"
Yui just continued to smile. "Silly boy," Yui said to Shinji, "Didn't it occur to you that I needed to go to the bathroom and primp? What kind of date would this be if I didn't look entirely my best?" Shinji looked at Yui more closely and he did notice that she looked different than she normally did.
Her normal school uniform had been replaced with a short, blue pleated skirt that was still conservative in its length and was accompanied by a matching blue short sleeve blouse. Yui's shoulder length brown hair was neatly arranged with a series of pins that kept her hair out of her face yet still complimented it. Makeup was lightly, if a bit inexpertly applied, making Yui look, in a word, hot. "You look.wow," was all Shinji could get out, but it was enough to get Yui to break out into an even bigger smile.
Yui grabbed Shinji's arm. "Come on," she exclaimed, "Let's get to the park." And with that, Yui pulled Shinji as she began running. Shinji started to run too and the two of them chased each other until they reached the picnic benches at the Tokyo-3 Park.
"I'm exhausted," Yui said, plopping down on a park bench. She motioned for Shinji to sit next to her, which he cautiously did. "Thank goodness for all these parks and lakes around Tokyo-3. Every time the military has to set off an N-2 mine, we get a new lake and a whole new park and recreation center. I guess it's easer to do than trying to rebuild the buildings that had been destroyed in the blast." Shinji gave Yui an odd look and after she caught his eye, she began to smile again. "OK, so I ramble. But you know what? I'm hungry so you can easily persuade to be quiet if you give me a nice, tasty bento I can stuff my face with." Yui batted her eyelashes at Shinji expectantly.
Shinji got out that two bentos and presented one to Yui. "I didn't know what you liked, so I made two different meals. One is a vegetarian meal and the other is different types of Sashimi."
Yui looked at the two bentos and thought a moment. "Tell you what," she said, "Since I do eat fish, as well as all types of meat, thank you very much, how about we share the two so I can get a taste of the great Shinji Ikari's cooking?" When she said OK, Yui broke out the chopsticks that accompanied the bento and started to eat. After grabbing a few pieces of broccoli from the vegetarian meal, she picked up a cut of Tuna from the fish meal.
"Why didn't you just call me to ask me what I liked?" Yui asked Shinji. "By the way, I do love sashimi, so you chose well."
She started to mumble an answer, but when Yui shot him a look, he took a deep breath and began to speak normally. "I didn't know your number and I didn't want my friends asking why I wanted your number if I asked them for it."
Yui gave him a look and said, "I've eaten much more than you have already. Start to eat some of this food or else I'll be big and fat and nobody will like me anymore and it will be all your fault." Before Shinji could misinterpret her, Yui smiled, said, "Come on, eat," and pushed a big piece of Sashimi into Shinji's mouth. Shinji gulped it down, picked up a pair of chopsticks and started to eat,
Between bites, Yui spoke to Shinji. "Well, so we won't have this problem on our next date, give me your phone." With a confused look, Shinji took his phone from his pocket and handed it to Yui. As Yui pushed several buttons, she said to Shinji, "I'm programming in MY cell number so you can call me whenever you want." Yui looked deeply into Shinji's eyes. "You can use this number WHENEVER you want to, understand?" Shinji gulped down another piece of fish.
"Thank you," Shinji said and he reached out to the vegetarian bento to take another bite. Yui placed her hands on Shinji's. He looked up into her eyes. "Since I gave you my phone number, I think I need something of at least equal value in return." Shinji blinked but Yui's deep brown eyes kept gazing towards him.
"Would you like MY phone." Shinji didn't get to finish his sentence before he was interrupted by Yui.
"You'll be calling me, so I can get your number then." Yui moved closer to Shinji. "I want something else, something.different"
"So, what would be different?" Shinji asked her. He kept staring into her eyes as they seemed to get bigger. No, not bigger, closer. Shinji closed his eyes in surprise as Yui's lips pressed against his.
It was.soft. Soft and comfortable. Shinji seemed to fall towards Yui, as the kiss continued. Although Shinji, when he had even momentarily thought about kissing, had worried about his nose hitting the girls, Shinji's and Yui's heads seemed to fit comfortably together, without any discomfort, as Shinji had imagined. Finally, the kiss was over. It had probably lasted only a few seconds but it seemed to have just gone on forever.
"Well, that was different enough, right? Wasn't it nice?" Yui said softly. She opened her eyes, which she had closed during the kiss and look into Shinji's. His eyes were wavering.
"I'm sorry," he said. He backed away from Yui, slowly at first, but after he had gotten a few feet away, he speed away as fast as he could. "I'm sorry," he said again and he ran off towards his apartment, leaving Yui behind.
"But you didn't do anything wrong," Yui whispered as she watched Shinji move out of her sight. He didn't turn around to look at her and Yui could only begin to cry.
Author's notes: Well, I hope you like this chapter. It took me long enough, huh? Well, if all goes well, I will be able to keep a better schedule. I hope you enjoyed it.
