Animefan2017: "Ya know... this seems kinda rushed and not very
descriptive..."
Guess there's no pleasing everyone. It hurts me inside, it really does.
Anyway this story is meant to be a romantic humour piece, but all the funny stuff ended 6 chapters ago. Give it some time and it will get back to how it was at the start, it just needs to get past the predicament the characters are in right now. Personally, I would never have thought that this story would get so many reviews. I guess quitting it is out of the question now, and as much as I lack in talent, I really don't want to disappoint the readers.

-Chapter 11-
---
Rei had left the apartment after having a talk with Shinji, who was now left alone with the German girl, although she had made no signs of coming out of her room. The boy noted that the apartment was way too quiet, even for his liking.
---
*FLASHBACK*
Rei and Shinji sat at the kitchen table, observing one another.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about Rei?"
"I just wanted to make sure." She said.
"Make sure of what?" Shinji winced at the pain from his bruised lip.
"Shinji." She spoke calmly. "When the time comes, will you help me?"
"Help?" He asked, unsure of what she meant. "Help with what?"
"I can't say." She said nonchalantly.
"Huh?" The boy looked even more confused now.
"Listen to me Shinji." She spoke again, her voice sounding more urgent. "Tell me, when the time comes, will you help me out?"
He stammered. "I-I guess."
Rei looked satisfied, and with that she stood up and exited the apartment.
*END FLASHBACK*

That was weird. It wasn't until she had left that Shinji noticed that she was wearing an odd looking hat.
The Unit 01 pilot was tired from all the things that had happened. He had tried to watch TV, but his mind always wandered. He had tried to listen to his SDAT, but the music couldn't reach him. He even tried to read one of the NERV manuals, but found that he had already memorized every page of it.
Lucky for Shinji though, the silence didn't continue for much longer. The apartment door opened and Misato stepped in, carrying the bag that Asuka had dropped downstairs.
"Hey Asuka!" She shouted in to the apartment. "I found this bag, is it yours?"
No answer.
"Hello?" Misato looked around. "Is anyone home?"
"Shhh!" The startled woman turned to see Shinji behind her with his finger placed over his lips. "Keep it down, Misato. I think Asuka's asleep."
"Oh, okay." The Major looked closer at Shinji's face and gasped. "Shinji?! What happened to you?"
"Don't worry about it." He replied as if he didn't care. "We'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm off to get some sleep."
"Oh." She was worried about him, but now wasn't the time. "Well, good night Shinji."
A simple "Yeah," was heard as he walked to his room and closed the door behind him.
Misato placed the bags down on the floor and retreated to her own room, too tired from the long day at work.
---
Now it really was getting late, and one of the few people that were still out at this time was Rei Ayanami, who was currently heading back to her apartment after visiting Shinji.
"You didn't tell him anything." Cupid told her in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"We know that he will help us." She replied monotone.
"Yeah, but he doesn't know what he's helping us with!" Cupid protested.
Rei didn't reply.
"Anyway, just how will he be able to help me with finding my pod?"
Again, Rei didn't reply.
"Okay, so it's ignore the hat day!" Cupid was getting aggravated, but still, he had no room to talk.
---
Surprisingly, sleep had not come easily to the NERV major easily that night, and she had not slept much at all. Because of this, she got up very early, even before Shinji usually did. The apartment was again, very quiet, as her two charges hadn't woken up yet. The first thing Misato did was to go in to the kitchen and pull out a nice six-pack of her favourite brand: "Yebisu" beer.
She opened the first can and practically downed it in one go.
"YEEAA-" She clasped her hand over her mouth, remembering that Asuka and Shinji were not yet up. "Better keep it quiet."
"No need for that now." Misato gasped and turned around, the voice having startled her.
"Asuka?!" The major calmed down again. "Why are you up so early?"
"I'm going over to Hikari's." The girl replied.
"It's 6:30 Asuka." The major told her with a flat voice. "Do you think she'd be up at this time?"
"I don't care!" The German girl raised her voice. "I'm going there anyway." And with those words, she walked to the door, with Misato following her.
"Aren't you at least going to say goodbye to Shinji?" The Major offered.
"Why the hell would I want to talk to that Baka anyway?" Asuka bit back.
'So, that's what this is all about.' Misato thought to herself. "Well, I guess I'll see you later?"
Asuka didn't look back as she closed the door behind her and left. "What- ever."
When Misato walked back in to the kitchen, she saw that Shinji was up, and was currently making breakfast.
"Morning Misato." He said without turning from his task.
"Morning Shinji." She replied as she sat back down. After taking a few more gulps from a new can of beer, she spoke again. "So, are you going to tell me what happened?"
Shinji sighed and stopped what he was doing. He then turned around and sat down on the table opposite Misato.

Okay, the only reason why that chapter stops there is because I'm feeling particularly lazy today. Well, the next one will be up shortly.
