Shinji Grows Up

Disclaimer: still continues to own nothing

**********************************************

FRIDAY MORNING

**********************************************

      The Council of Shinji lay in ruins after the all night celebration of the date with Asuka and getting the fateful "goodnight" kiss from her. Shinji's laid all over the place, some on the tables, on the floor, and one named 'Party' Shinji who never once was thought of existing hanged from one of the ceiling fans up on top. How he got there is a mystery no one will ever know.

      ".... ugh what happened?" 'Brain' muttered groggily as he started to hold his head and wince to every little sound in the room. Apparently one of the Shinji spiked the punch they were serving so chaos began running around like a headless chicken. The Council would not be making any judgments today.

**********************************************

      Breakfast at the Katsuragi household was a sight to see; in one chair sat Misato with a very pissed off look, in another sat Asuka cheerfully eating breakfast, in another sat an equally cheerful Shinji going through second helpings, and Pen Pen mimicking Shinji to every movement. Misato looked on at the two kids and saw the happy looks on their faces.

      "You two seem happy this morning", she muttered out loud, "you two go on a date or something?"

      Two forks slipped and hit their respective plates as each were trying to come up with an answer for the accusation. Misato looked on with a dumbfounded face then one of realization.

      "OH MY GOD YOU TWO ARE GOING OUT!" Misato looked at the two blushing teens and got her answer.

      "It was only one date... " Shinji spoke out loud as Asuka looked at her plate of food.

      "YES!" Misato cheered, getting up and racing to the phone. She quickly dialed some numbers and waited eagerly for the other end to pick up.

**********************************************

      A phone rang on a nightstand next to a bed, the bundle of sheets on the bed began to move as an arm went out and grabbed for the phone. Ritsuko Akagi popped her head out of the sheets and brought the receiver close to her ear.

      "... hello... " she said groggily.

      "I WIN THE BET! THEY GOT TOGETHER!" someone who was Misato screamed out loud from the other end. Ritsuko eyes nearly popped out of her head and threw the phone away from her.

**********************************************

      Maya sat in the kitchen, eating her breakfast peacefully when her phone rang. She got up, putting the fork with the piece of bacon down on the plate, and walked to the phone in the living room of her apartment. She picked it up and put her ear to the receiver.

      "Hello?"

      "I WIN THE BET MAYA! THEY GOT TOGETHER!" Maya toppled over on to her butt from the force of Misato's voice. She blinked a couple of times and looked at the phone in her hands.

**********************************************

      Makoto was busy looking through the comic part of the newspaper when his phone rang off the hook. He got up and went to answer it.

      "Yes?"

      "I WON THE BET! THAT'S 11900 YEN YOU OWE ME! YEAH BABY IM GOOD!"

      Makoto looked at the phone funny then cursed when he realized the amount of money he just lost.

**********************************************

      Another phone rang through another apartment only to be knocked off the stand by a flying alarm clock. Shigeru Aoba let out a small smile before hitting the bed and falling asleep almost immediately.

**********************************************

      Misato let out a sigh, as all she heard was a busy signal from one of the bridge bunnies she was calling. 'If he thinks he can get out of a bet he's sadly mistaken' Misato thought. She then noticed that there was a tense silence in the air, she turned around slowly to see that Asuka left eyebrow was twitching considerably and Shinji was opening and closing his hand with a look that can make an angel dematerialize. Misato knew she was in trouble now, so she did the best thing she could think off.

      "I was calling to tell everyone about the good news that you two got together... hehehe" then began to dodge the breakfast food that was being thrown at her by the two pissed off teens, followed by things that could do some damage.

**********************************************

      Gendo Ikari decided to drive to headquarters today, a feat that was new to him on the count he always used the transport monorail that led to the Geofront. It was always faster but he decided that today he would try something new.

      "New experiences opens doors to the mind" he said to himself as he was going 15 mph with about thirty or forty cars behind him; all honking, flipping him off or just plain shouting learn to drive and among other things. It also wasn't good that he was going 15 in one of the busiest highways in Tokyo 3. So when people would go to the other lane they would be ready to either curse him off or tell him to get off the road but were met with the full force of the Ikari family glare TM, which made them speed up considerably ahead, forgetting their rant and fearing for their lives. Gendo Ikari looked down at the speedometer and it read 20 mph.

      "I believe I shall go faster" he said has he floored the petal and went to 60 in less then 5 seconds. He patted himself on the back for getting one of the NERV military vehicles, the ones that can go through a nuclear blast without a scratch.

      "Music seems logical at this moment" he said as he looked down and turned on the radio only to sidetrack a car into the cement wall on the side. He started to turn the dial to any radio station with music, this time rear ending a car in front of him and sending it off into the grass side of the road. He continued his quest for the perfect song never noticing that he was now in the middle of two lanes and his front hitting cars that were being thrown off left and right of him. He stopped the dial at a station that was playing "Limp Bizkit, Nookie" at the moment.

      "I believe I have heard this song before", Gendo Ikari said to himself, "ah yes... the "nookie". I believe I did something for the "nookie" once before. Note to self: must find out what this "nookie" is"

"Should I be feelin' bad?

Should I be feelin' good?

It's kinda sad I'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood

And you would think that I'd be movin' on

But I'm a sucker like I said

F**ked up in the head, not!

And maybe she just made a mistake

And I should give her a break

But my heart will ache either way

Hey, what the hell, what you want me to say?

I won't lie, that I can't deny

I did it for the nookie..."

      "Come on..." Gendo Ikari sang with the song in a monotone voice.

"The nookie..."

      "Come on..." he repeated monotone as he hit another car off the road.

"So you can take that cookie

And stick it up your..."

      "Yeah.." another car went barreling into another.

"Stick it up your..."

      "Yeah..." the sound of police sirens and a loud voice that screamed "PULL OVER NOW!" greeted his hearing. Gendo Ikari looked up into the rearview mirror.

      "Law officials" he said as he started to turn to the next lane, sideswiping another car, then to the next before coming to a complete stop at the side of the road. The cop car stopped behind and the police officer got out of the car and immediately withdrew his gun. The man wearily walked up to driver's side and tapped on the window. The window rolled down and a glare bounced off Gendo Ikari's ever-present glasses.

      "Yes?" he questioned with annoyance.

      "Sir, you do realize that you have caused massive damage in this highway for the past few miles now... and I also caught you going 112 mph as well... I would like to ask you to step out of the car"

      "Are you giving me a command?" Gendo Ikari said glaring at the helpless police officer.

      "Ah... Ah... sir... please just step out of the car, I am armed."

      "No one gives, Commander Gendo Ikari, commands" he responded glaring full force.

      "Gendo Ikari of NERV" the officer squeaked out.

      "Affirmative, now if you would excuse me but I must be off" he said shifting to drive and entering the highway not before knocking into another car. Then the officer saw the car speed up and completely knock the hell out of the car that was in front of it. The officer looked on and you could see the dark mark in the crotch area that contrasts to the light color of his pants.

**********************************************

      Makoto looked at his wristwatch and looked at the empty seat next to Maya, he then let out a sigh.

      "I bet he broke his alarm clock again," he said absently as Maya was typing up a report on the console.

      "Most likely, or threw his guitar at it this time"

      "Nah, that thing is like his child. I doubt he'd ever do anything like that to it"

      "Hmm who knows, you know what a lousy morning person he is"

      Misato just then decided to enter the room, with a big grin on her face and a piece of food in her hair. She walked up to the two and stretched out her hand to the two. They both looked at it and started to dig through their pockets and deposited the money not without grumbling that she had the devils luck.

      "Ahhhhhh the smell of success.." Misato said sniffing the money in her hands now.

      "Smells like waffles" Makato said absently as Maya giggled.

      At the moment Shigeru Aoba ran into the room and plopped himself in the seat, fixing his shirt and zipping up his pants, he sat there like nothing has happened. Three people looked at him then at each other, he then noticed them.

      "What I was in the bathroom..." he said fixing his hair.

      "Sure"

      "Yeah"

      "You owe me money"

**********************************************

      It was a beautiful day outside in Tokyo 3; everyone seemed to be in good moods and spirits. The teacher decided instead of the boring seven-hour lesson plan of death, he would use the one that made you think of suicide then actually doing it. Shinji automatically typed on his laptop, making it look like he was writing notes when a chat invitation popped up out of nowhere. He looked down on it, shrugged and went in.

**********************************************

ReDbAbE2: yup he does

StUdBoY: hn its like you like him or something, what you two go out last night or something

**********************************************

      Shinji let out a cough as the spit went down the wrong pipe and Asuka coughed as well. The chat room was silent for a few minutes until....

**********************************************

StUdBoY: ..... tell me i was lying?

StUdBoY: TELL ME IF IM LYING?

nobody3: your not lying...

**********************************************

      "WHAT THE HELL!" Toji shouted in class out loud while the teacher was writing on the board.

      "My thoughts exactly, Mr. Suzuhara, I might as well said that too if I was in the man's shoes" the teacher said as he started writing up more notes on the board.

**********************************************

classrepgirl: OMG ASUKA HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME

ReDbAbE2: we only went out yesterday...

**********************************************

      "NOOOOO! WHY GOD WHYYYY!" Toji screamed as he held his head.

      "Wow, Mr Suzuhara, you certainly have the energy for history today. Yes, it was a tragedy at the battle, alot of people did die...."

**********************************************

The truth is out there: well jeez the way you two looked at each other in class i kinda figured you two had an attraction, i mean you have to be the biggest idiot not to realize it. i bet rei knew too

**********************************************

      Four heads turned to Reis direction simultaneously. The blue haired beauty was listening to one of her songs disguising it by holding her head, when she felt the gaze of people. She lifted her head and saw that Shinji, Asuka, Kensuke, and Hikari were looking at her. She turned her head to the right and saw that Toji looked like he was having a heart attack with the way he was holding his chest. She looked back up and mouthed the word "What?" all heads immediately turned back to the front of the room.

      'The hell was that about?' Rei thought to herself as she shrugged it off and got back into listening Bad Religion's "You".

**********************************************

The truth is out there: ok maybe i was wrong

ReDbAbE2: sigh

nobody3: sigh

classrepgirl: sigh

StUdBoY: zzstxdrycftuvgybhunjimko,lp;'

**********************************************

      Toji's hand went across the keyboard of the laptop as he was trying to get himself back into his seat.

**********************************************

FRIDAY AFTERNOON

**********************************************

      The lunch bell rang as all the students piled out of the classroom only leaving six people behind. Rei took out her lunch and started to eat from her place, Hikari dragged Asuka to the hallway to interrogate her on the newfound relationship that has been just discovered, and that left with the three stooges sitting together and eating lunch.

      "She a good kisser?" Kensuke asked.

      "Yup"

      "Ah" the other two stooges said.

      "Sorry about the whole state of shock thing before, with the class and you dating the demon well you figure it out" Toji said biting into his sandwich.

      "No problem, it was kind of funny"

      "So what did you do on the first date anyway?" Kensuke asked

      "Took her to the ramen place" both Toji and Kensuke whipped out small notepads and started to write down every word Shinji said. Shinji did get the hottest girl in school thus has been deemed "god" by the male student body. Well, will be once the grapevine gets a hold of the information.

      "Men..." Rei muttered softly as she saw the two boys write vigorously, trying to keep up to Shinji's pace of words.

**********************************************

      Asuka laughed nervously as Hikari glared at her with both hands on her hips.

      "Ok, spill now" she said in a command tone of voice.

      "Well, he asked me out yesterday... and I said sure and then we went out that night to that ramen place for dinner..."

      "Awww that's so cute!" Hikari beamed.

      "Anyway, we ate then we were going to go for a walk but we just went home and that was it"

      Hikari looked at Asuka like she wasn't satisfied with the explanation.

      "OKAY! Earlier he held me while we were watching TV, that's when he asked me out then back at home I kissed him goodnight, happy?"

      "Yes", Hikari said smiling, "oh my god, you and Shinji going out... your so lucky"

      "I guess..." Asuka said not really knowing how to answer that.

      "I mean with the way Shinji changed he was the most sought after guy in school"

      "What?!" this was news to Asuka.

      "Well almost every girl wanted to ask him out, a few actually did but he declined them saying his heart was for someone else. I guess that was you, Asuka"

      Asuka looked at Hikari not knowing what to say.

**********************************************

      Three sighs were let out simultaneously as Maya, Makato, and Shigeru leaned back against their chairs and looked up at the ceiling.

      "I miss the angels... jeez cant believe I just said that" Makato said out loud as he heard another sigh from his female partner and a grunt from the male. Then he heard a chair give way, as both Maya and Shigeru were flat on their backs onto the floor.

      "The hell.." was all he said as his chair gave way and he joined them.

**********************************************

      Misato leaned against her chair and looked at her computer, which was full of holes. She forgot that she did in fact shoot the computer so now she spent most of the day either walking around the Geofront or just sleeping in her office.

      "I miss the angels... ugh cant believe I said that" she muttered out loud just as her chair gave way and she fell flat on the floor.

**********************************************

      Gendo Ikari looked on into nothingness with his hands entwined in front of his mouth and his glasses giving off that weird glare that can't be explained. He let out a sigh the pressed the intercom button.

      "Has anything happened yet?"

      "No, sir. No activity yet to be discovered anywhere" was the reply from the other end then the transmission was cut off. He let out another sigh then leaned back into his chair only to have it give way and fall flat onto his back.

      "I knew I shouldn't of cut the budget on chair repair..." he said from his position on the floor.

**********************************************

      Ritsuko Akagi was walking down the hall, looking at a clipboard with some papers on it when suddenly she tripped and fell flat on her face. She lifted her head off of the floor, blinked and stood back up.

      "What the hell just happened?" she said out loud but no one was around.

**********************************************

      Somewhere up in the heavens, Fate was laughing its ass off.

**********************************************

      Back in school, much to everyone's horror the teacher was still preaching on history now showing a projector of slides of locations where important events happened. Toji was asleep, snoring lightly and fidgeting every so often. Kensuke was already asleep for a while now using an arm for a pillow and Hikari, her elbow propped up on the desk and holding her head with her eyes closed. Shinji looked like he was losing the battle, his head dropped down and hit the desk then he quickly looked up only to have his eyes droop down again. The only thing that woke him up was the chime that he received an instant message, he looked down and saw it was from Asuka.

**********************************************

ReDbAbE2: hey

nobody3: hey whats up

ReDbAbE2: nothing much just bored out of my mind

nobody3: same here

**********************************************

      Asuka nervously typed out the next message with a faint blush.

**********************************************

ReDbAbE2: hey shinji did other girls ask you out?

nobody3: where did you hear this from

ReDbAbE2: hikari told me

nobody3: ah well yea but i turned them down

ReDbAbE2: why though, i mean you could of had a good looking girl

nobody3: because im already dating a good looking girl

ReDbAbE2: ohh

nobody3: you want to go out tonight or stay at home and do something?

ReDbAbE2: uh i dunno

nobody3: how about we go rent movies after school or something and some video games, bet i can wipe the floor with you

**********************************************

      Asuka let out a cocky grin, the idea of beating Shinji in video games and watching a movie in the comfort of home did appeal to her.

**********************************************

ReDbAbE2: YOUR ON THIRD CHILD! YOULL BE AT MY FEET BY THE END OF THE NIGHT!

nobody3: hehe well see well see

**********************************************

      It was finally the end of the day and everyone at NERV were relieved to leave the "exciting" day on the job. Misato let out a string of curses as she had to stay behind and finish the reports she couldn't do on the count of "technical difficulty", she now sat in Doctor Akagi's office typing up what seemed to be an endless amount of pages that laid next to her.

      "If I ever find that online chess player Ill skin him alive for making me shoot my computer" she muttered and gritted her teeth as she tried to get all the reports done by the next morning.

       The bridge bunnies waited for the bus that gets them to monorail that led them back to their homes. Doctor Akagi drove off, the only person that actually drove normally among the group. Which led Gendo Ikari, who walked to the parking lot and got into the car he used to get to work. His facial expression never changing as he turned on the ignition and shifted to reverse, he slammed the pedal down and crashed into the car parked behind them. Shifting to drive, he turned the wheel right and floored it yet again to peel out and fly out of the parking lot. He drove so carelessly that he didn't notice that he was about to hit the people that were waiting for the bus at the moment. The people did notice the big SUV speeding toward them and jumped out of the way as it took out the little bus stop structure and drove off making a sharp turn to the left, hitting a car in the process.

      "CRAZY MOTHER FUCKER!" Shigeru screamed out waving his fist as Makato helped Maya off the ground.

**********************************************

       The school bell rang and everyone ran home, cheers being heard from kids as the weekend finally arrived. Shinji and Asuka headed off by themselves, leaving the others behind. Asuka held on to Shinji's arm as they both entered the video rental place a few blocks away from their apartment. Asuka raced off to the section of her choice while Shinji started to look around randomly, not really knowing what to get. He went off to the anime section, looking around he thought of maybe getting "Cowboy Bebop" which was one of his favorites. He thought he might as well see what Asuka was looking at; she might as well make the decision since he didn't know what she really liked. On his way to the section she was in, he stopped and looked at a title that appealed to him greatly.

      "I wonder if Asuka's afraid of horror movies... nah she's an Eva pilot for god sakes... but just in case" he said to himself as he grabbed the movie and headed off to the section she was in.

      He saw her kneeling down and looking at the back of a movie title. Shinji tapped her shoulder and saw her jump, dropping the movie she was looking at. She stood up and stared daggers at the smiling face of Shinji Ikari. He let out a few chuckles as she crossed her arms and huffed but only to be surprised as he pulled her to a hug.

      "I'm sorry I scared you," he whispered to a blushing Asuka.

      "Its ok", she said meekly then wrapped her arms around him only to feel the box he was holding," what's this?" she said grabbing the movie and looking at the title. Her face paled slightly.

      "Something wrong?"

      "Aliens..." she said looking at the title of the movie.

      "You don't like scary movies?" Shinji said smiling.

      "I... er... of course I do!" Asuka said indignantly as she picked up the title she was looking at. Shinji nabbed it from her hands and looked at it, the movie was called "Dumb and Dumber".

      "You like comedy?" Shinji said looking at Asuka who was blushing at his gaze.

      "Yeah..." she said looking down on the floor.

      "Cool, I love this movie", Asuka looked up and smiled brightly at Shinji who in turn smiled back, "come on lets find out what game were gonna get"

      "Okay", she said as went up ahead to the game section, "come on you slowpoke"

      Shinji chuckled as he went to catch up with the energetic girl.

**********************************************

FRIDAY EVENING

**********************************************

      Gendo Ikari finally made it home, taking out about a few dozen cars and eluding the National Guard at a corner.

      "I believe I will take public transportation tomorrow," he said while pressing the button on the little remote to lock the car, when the beep was heard the car collapsed onto the street.

**********************************************

      Shinji couldn't believe his luck as he stared at the television screen with "Player 2 Wins", he looked at the energetic Asuka jumping and waving her fists in the air.

      "Oh yeah, I am the queen!" she said dancing around some more as Shinji still continued to stare at the screen. The game was SNK 2002, Asuka's character was Mai Shiranui and Shinji was Andy Bogard. Somehow Asuka reminded Shinji of Mai as he looked from the screen to his side seeing that both were jumping up and down similar to each other.

      'Figures, she goes with the one with the breasts', he sighed as he put the controller down, ' they're a couple in the anime version of the game aren't they?' he shook his head and laid back into the couch as Asuka plopped herself next to him after her victory dance.

      "That's thirty matches won and zero lost" she said poking his cheek and laughing.

      "Yeah, yeah. You kicked my ass, rub it in some more" Shinji said dully as Asuka rested her head against his shoulder.

      "Okay, a girl beat you, ha ha you suck" Asuka said poking his chest to the syllable of each word.

      Shinji sighed and took out a movie; "Lets watch a movie now so I can get my pride back together".

      "Alright, what's the first movie?"

      "Aliens" he felt Asuka stiffen then relax again.

      "Something wrong?" Shinji said smiling to himself.

      "Nothing pop the disc in and lets watch, i love this movie" Asuka said in her normal indignant tone of voice.

      "Alright" he said with a grin on his face as he got up, put the disc in and sat back down, putting his arm around Asuka's shoulder.

**********************************************

      About an hour into the movie, Asuka was holding on to Shinji for dear life. Her legs were on Shinji's lap and she had both arms wrapped tightly around his waist. When one of the aliens hissed, she squealed and held Shinji tightly. He had his arm wrapped around her, holding her tightly so she wouldn't be so scared and the other was patting her knee. The room erupted in gunfire as the marines were shooting at the incoming enemy monsters in the movie. Shinji looked down and saw that Asuka had her eyes tightly closed and her head was resting against his shoulder. He then started to caress her back lightly, which got her to open her eyes and look up at him.

      "There's nothing to be afraid of" he said soothingly

      "I'd like to see you go against an eyeless monster and say that..."

      "Angels remember?"

      "We were in Evas, it was different..."

      "Poor baby" he said as he pulled her to sit on his lap, he grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV. He wrapped both arms around her waist, she immediately wrapped both arms around his neck and nuzzled against his neck.

      "Your the first to make me feel like this, Shinji" she said absently, eyes closed and enjoying the moment they were sharing.

      "Oh? What were you feeling before?" he asked gliding his hand up and down her side.

      "I don't want to talk about it... I just want you to hold me like this..." she said holding on to his neck a little tighter and leaning her forehead against his cheek. He felt her shiver lightly, he wrapped both arms around her body, as she seemed to snuggle into him and sigh contently.

      "You cold?" he asked.

      "No" she said, her breath tickling his neck.

      "Oh?"

      "Its never cold when I'm with you..." she said kissing his cheek.

      Shinji was swept with a sense of deja vu, he could of sworn that this already happened.

      "Something wrong?" he looked into those beautiful blue eyes peering up at him, he brought his palm against her cheek, seeing her close her eyes then open them back up again. He leaned in and planted a firm but soft kiss against her sweet lips. After half a minute he came back up and looked at Asuka's face, flustered with her eyes closed. He couldn't get that image out of his head; she looked so beautiful at that moment.

      "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" Asuka's eyes snapped open and looked at Shinji, her face completely red now.

      "... no..." she said softly trying to hide her face but only to have him lift up her chin and have her look at him.

      "Well you are, no goddess in the world rivals your beauty" he said then kissed her lips. Asuka leaned in more and started to caress the back of his neck. Shinji pulled her close, holding on to her tightly as the two kissed passionately. After awhile both came up for air, faces red and chests heaving for oxygen. Shinji got up, holding Asuka and made way to her room.

      "We should get some sleep now" he said kissing her forehead. He opened the door to her room and put her on the bed. He was about to leave when Asuka grabbed his wrist. She got up and pulled him to her. She wrapped both arms around his waist and rested her head against his chest.

      "I don't wanna go to sleep" she said in a cute tone of voice that Shinji couldn't help but give a genuine smile. He glided his fingers through her hair and kissed the top of her head.

      "Go to sleep and well spend the day tomorrow, ok?" she whined a bit holding on to him tightly.

      "Alright..." she finally said letting go but only to have Shinji hug her from behind and kiss her cheek.

      "Goodnight" he said kissing her neck, letting go and left. After she heard the soft click of the door behind her, she let out a sigh and fell onto her bed. She then got up and changed into her nightclothes then fell back onto the bed and slid underneath the covers. In a matter of moments she was asleep with a content smile on her face.

**********************************************

      Shinji laid awake, thinking about the red head beauty that slept only a wall away from him. He let out a sigh and turned to his side. A matter of moments he too was asleep with a content smile on his face similar to Asuka's.

**********************************************

      The sound of gunshots and alien hisses boomed off the walls of a small apartment. Rei Ayanami sat cross-legged in front of the TV, wearing an oversized white t-shirt and eating popcorn while watching "Aliens". One of the aliens grabbed a marine and pulled him down through the floor.

      "Cool..." she said as she stuffed a handful of popcorn into her mouth.
