I'm really glad I'm getting so many positive comments about this fic.
You'll all be happy to know that I have a fair idea of what's going to
happen in chapters coming up, so you won't have to wait long for any
updates.
-Chapter 5-
---
Apart from the public displays of affection by Asuka, and the fact that Touji and Kensuke had avoided him, Shinji's day had been pretty much normal.
Currently, him and Asuka were walking back home with their hands intertwined. Shinji had agreed to hold her hand after she pleaded to him, and he just couldn't say no. This also brought about a new question: What does he do about his current relationship with Asuka?
It was just so confusing. She had gone from one extreme to another. One minute she couldn't stand to look at him, the next she won't leave him alone. He supposed that Asuka had always had over the top emotions, so it wasn't really that weird, but it just seemed so unreal.
He made his mind up to at least try and return some of the feelings. He had liked the girl ever since he met her, but he can't honestly say that he loved her. He would do his best, and hopefully he would develop the same feelings for her.

The apartment door opened and the two young Eva pilots stepped in.
"Hey guys, welcome home!" A voice called from within one of the rooms.
"What's Misato doing back so early?" Shinji asked his read headed companion.
"I don't know." Asuka replied. "Maybe she got some time off."
"Hey Asuka!" Misato called out from the kitchen again. "There's someone here that wants to see you!"
"What's this about now?" Asuka asked no one in particular as she and Shinji walked towards the sound of Misato's voice.
"Hello, Asuka."
"Kaji!" She exclaimed happily.
"How are things?" He asked her with a smile.
"Things couldn't be better!" She told him cheerfully. What Misato thought was weird was the fact that Asuka hadn't flung herself at the man like she usually did when he was around.
"I'm glad to hear it." The man then turned to Shinji. "And how are you today?"
"I'm fine." Shinji said as he turned to look at Asuka. "It's been a bit weird though."
"Oh I can imagine." Kaji informed them. "Misato told me about the change in Asuka."
Asuka frowned at this. "Will you guys stop analysing me?! I haven't changed!"
"Actually Asuka," Misato interrupted her. "You've done a total 180 on Shinji."
Asuka didn't respond to this. Kaji, feeling a bit sympathetic, chose to take Asuka's side and tease the good Major for a bit.
"Then again Misa-chan," he said thoughtfully "maybe Shinji's just more of a ladies man then we thought."
"Don't call me Misa-chan!" Misato snapped at the unshaven man. Kaji just smiled.
"Well I'm glad some things haven't changed."
"You'd be glad if I don't decide to beat you to a pulp!" Misato seethed through clenched teeth.
Both Shinji and Asuka had lost interest in the two adults by now. Their arguments were nothing new.
"What-ever!" Asuka said loudly. "Me and Shinji are going to watch TV." Both teens walked out of the kitchen and went to the living room.
Kaji immediately dropped the façade and turned to Misato, this time with a more serious expression.
"I see what you mean."
"What do you think is going on?" Misato inquired, her own anger subsiding.
Kaji didn't answer for a moment. "Short of sleeping together, I don't know what could have brought about this change."
Misato looked stunned. "I'm gonna have a talk with Asuka about this!"
"I think I might have friendly chat with Shinji too. It ought to be good for him." Kaji added.
---
Both teens were sitting on the couch watching some silly talk show. Surprisingly, it was a program of Shinji's choice. Asuka was resting her head against his shoulder, not really watching the TV. She had the same content smile on her face that she had during the walk to school.
"Hey you two!" Misato shouted from the kitchen. "Me and Kaji want to have another talk with you!"
Grudgingly both teens went back in to the Kitchen. Misato led Asuka in to her room, whereas Shinji followed Kaji in to his own.
Kaji told Shinji to sit on the bed as he pulled out the chair under the desk and sat down across from him.
"Shinji, I think we need to have a talk." Kaji said calmly.
"What about?" Shinji asked him, really not knowing what the older man had planned.
"I'm gonna teach you bout the birds and the bees." Kaji told him with a wide grin. Shinji started stuttering something out but it wasn't making any sense.
---
In Asuka's room, the major was trying the same thing but with the German girl instead. Un-like Shinji, Asuka wasn't just going to sit back and let someone lecture her like she was some sort of idiot.
"And why are we having this talk?" She demanded.
"Because frankly I don't trust you two anymore!" Misato shot back.
---
Cupid stood outside the apartment and alternated between the two room's windows so he can keep an eye on what was happening. He found the whole situation very funny.
---
"And that's why I think you should watch yourself from now on." Kaji finished.
Shinji just stood there, red faced, not saying anything. They could both hear Asuka shouting in the other room.
-To be continued-

That was rather dull in comparison to the previous chapters, however I am building up to something that will happen later on.
