The door slowly creaked open revealing Kensuke Aida standing right in front of me. He looked just like he did three years ago, except he had gotten a new pair of glasses.
"Hey Shinji, what's up?"
"Kensuke. Can I come in? It's important."
"Uh. Yeah, sure."
Kensuke motioned for me to come in. I walked down the dimly lit hallway to the living room. I proceeded to sit down on an easy chair across the sofa. I looked around. The TV was dusty from not being used. The floor was messy, filled with pizza boxes, papers, and so many other junk that I didn't even know what they were. Kensuke sat down on the couch and offered me a pizza.
"So what brings you here?" He asked as he brought a slice of pizza toward his mouth. I looked at him, 'How could he be eating a rotten pizza? That must've been here for days!'
He sorted of looked at me sheepishly. Maybe he wanted to offer me a pizza. I hope not.
"Hey, you want a pizza?" He asked while his extending his hand that contained the pizza.
'So much for that.'
"Errr. No thanks. I came here to talk to you about something, something very important. Something that can change our lives completely."
"Sounds serious." His voice was muffled by the consumption of his pizza. The chewing sound was really annoying, but I tolerated it.
"It is, I've thought this over for a long time. I've decided to leave Tokyo- 3 and go to another land. Far, far away from here."
Kensuke choked on his food, just like I expected he would. He stared at me wide-eyed, shock filling his mind.
"Wh.what!!! Why?"
"Asuka. I thought that after the wedding she might change, but. sadly I was mistaken." I was starting to get tears in my eyes again. I felt like that the whole world would crumble before me. "She still acts the same way about me. She still beats me up and insults me." At this time, I was already crying, my tears came gushing out like a waterfall. "I don't know why. I've always been kind to her, did whatever she wanted. I did nothing wrong. I tolerated her, even when nobody else could. Not you, not Touji, not anyone else. So why!! Why doesn't she feel the same way?"
Kensuke looked at me in the eyes, heaved a sigh, and said, "Well, man that's what you get for marrying a devil."
After saying that remark, Kensuke found himself being slammed on the wall, courtesy of me. I was really angry with him. Asuka didn't deserve to be insulted, especially when she wasn't here to defend herself. I looked at Kensuke with anger in my eyes. He was starting to get a little scared, so I dropped him. Kensuke looked very relieved after I dropped him.
"Hey, have you gone nuts, why did you do that?"
I looked at him coldly, much like my father, when he was still the commander of NERV.
"Don't insult Asuka."
Kensuke looked as if he wanted to shrivel up and die. "Alright! All right, stop doing that, it's giving me the creeps. Why are you still defending her, even if she tore your heart in two?"
"Simple, because I still love her. I could never stop loving her. She is my sunshine. She lights up my day just by being with me. Despite all her insults and beatings, I still love her."
"Man, you're like a weirdo. Nobody could be that dedicated. Asuka's also a strange case, she can't see what a good person you are, Shinji."
"Thanks for the praise, but I'm not a nutcase. I just feel it in my heart and my soul. It's like a roaring flame that won't be put out; I won't let it be put out, that passion I feel is what drives me to make my decision. Even if she's not with me, as long as she's happy, I'll be happy."
"You've got the dedication of a rock. If it were me I'd never live through marrying Asuka."
"Well, yeah. About me leaving, I think I'll be staying in Okinawa-2 or maybe overseas."
"Think it through man, this is a big step."
"I have thought it through. For a long time now, it's been running through my mind for what it seems an eternity. This is my final decision."
"Well, thanks for at least telling me, man. I would hate to see you go away without so much as a goodbye. When are you leaving anyway?"
"Today."
For the second time today, Kensuke looked shocked again. It looked like his eyeballs were about to pop out from its sockets.
"WHAT! Today? But it's so sudden!"
"I've decided. After visiting Touji and Hikari, I'll be leaving."
"Alright, but I still think you should stay."
"I can't. It hurts too much, knowing she'll be here with me. Not loving me. I need to leave."
"I'm sorry for you, I really am."
I glanced at the clock; it's just about time that I left for Touji and Hikari's house.
"Hey, I need to leave or I'll be late. Thanks for taking the time to talk with me."
"Sure, no problem."
I stood up and slowly walked out the door. Before I walked out however, I turned around and said, "Kensuke, you really need to get a better life than hacking. Get around, go to the park. Something, anything."
Kensuke looked around his house, then stood up and looked out the window.
"Maybe I will, maybe."
"Don't just stand there, go out, live!"
Kensuke looked at me and smiled. He walked up next to me and extended his hand towards me. I knew what that meant, it would be a long time before I would get to see him again, I walked up next to him, and shook his hand.
"I'll miss you, Kensuke."
"I'll miss you too, Shinji."
We broke to a hug. A simple one between friends, it meant goodbye for the both of us. I said goodbye once more to my old fried and walked out his door. I looked up at the sky and walked down those familiar steps that I was walking up not too long ago. I stepped onto the street and went to go to the final destination to my journey.
'It's almost time.Asuka.'

I'm sorry for the length of this chapter and all my other chapters, but this was intended to be a short story.
The next story I'll write will be much better than this one.
Thank you for putting up with me, my loyal reviewers.
Thank You Animefan 2017 for pre-reading, again.
