(A/N- Shinji's first person thoughts of the situation after the testing as they are given a speech by Ritsuko.)
Odd. Odd is the only word I could describe him in. Odd. Kawrou Nagisa. Why did he look like Rei? The eyes, the skin..... but opposite personality, outgoing and friendly. I miss Rei. I wanted to see her smile or blush again. Though little things were a huge achievement for me. I looked over at the male albino. I felt strange in his company. Relaxed, calm, open. I felt like telling this stranger everything about myself before I even knew him. Why? The only soul that truly knows about my past and emotions is my new found happiness Asuka. Now it seems my thoughts are shifting to her.....
In Japan, you could pick her out of a concert. Fiery red hair, cerulean blue eyes. After talking with her for a few minuets people are either disgusted by the way she is, or just focusing on her other, more likable attractions. Sad to say she has reason to believe that all boys are perverted, seeing as almost all have gone with the second choice. It came to a point were she passed judgment on me even before she knew me. Heh.... my dull and weak personality didn't help much. Now that I think of it, maybe she did always have a little thing for me, but seeing me change and give her the attention she so desperately wanted made her feeling come out. Love. Some will deny it, some will hate it, but we all need it. I choose to embrace it. Unfortunately love brings pain, were I know that Asuka will not, something's we have no control over..... The next angel.
"Hello Shinji Ikari." The albino boy said snapping Shinji back to reality (A/N- no more first person.)
"Oh, um hi Nagisa..."
"Please, Kawrou will do just fine." He said with a full hearted smile.
He thought with a slight smile. Quickly noticed his German girlfriend walk over to him.
"Shinji, Hikari just moved back and I'm going to see her, you don't mind do you?" Asuka asked with a puppy dog face.
"Of course not Asuka." He quickly grabbed her and brought her into a kiss. Afterwards the both blushed at the howls and cat calls from all the other employees. They forgot about them....
After Asuka walked away to see her only true friend other that Shinji, The boy was left alone with the 5th child. Always smiling for some reason. With the absence of Kesuke and Toji, he really needed a guy to talk to. He had so much to say now that he had become accustomed to expressing himself.
"So were do you usually go after your tests?" The new enigma said with a cheery tone.
"Well before I started dating Asuka I went to the shower room and then home." Shinji said slightly embarrassed by Kawrou's ever happy appearance.
"Well then lets go to the shower room." He said leaving the room.
Shinji was quite a bit embarrassed to be butt naked next to a guy he had just met. Kawrou had been asking a few questions about Shinji the entire time. Shinji being the polite person he is, answered the questions truthfully. Kawrou though seemed to gracefully dodge the questions about his past. The conversation continued....
"Well Asuka hasn't been able to synchronize very well since the last two angels but she's starting to go back to the way she was, but since you have the higher sync ratio, you might have to take her Eva in the next fight....... she won't like that at all." Shinji said slightly worried.
"I'm not worried. From what I heard, you saved her from insanity and past trauma. This is a little task for you huh Shinji?" Kawrou asked keeping his smile.
"Well I guess.....hey Kawrou?"
"Yeah Shinji?"
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"Simply being here for me. I really needed a friend right now. I'm glad your here." Shinji said giving a true smile.
"Hey what are friends for?" Kawrou responded.
Shinji thought to himself
Shinji came home to find a message on the machine, but before he could press play, he say a note on the desk:
Shinji,
Be home later tonight, don't worry about me
love,
Asuka.
Shinji could only smile at the letter, as he walked into his room and laid down with his ears plugged.
Minuets later a seemingly drunk Miasto came walking in. Though unbeknownst to Shinji, the was not in fact drunk, but depressed. She played the message on the machine and cried and smiled as she heard Kaji say his good byes. She had done it too quick, but she knew that he loved her. She broke down crying on the desk as Shinji realized that she was in fact sober.
"M-Miasto?" Shinji asked making sure she's OK.
"Oh, Shinji.....I'm OK, just a bit drunk." She said between sobs. Shinji seemed to be making a habit of it so he threw his arms around her in a attempt to comfort her. It seemed to work as Misato rested her head on his chest.
"Your not drunk and I know it." Shinji said in a soothing voice. "Know are you going to tell me what happened or are you going to just keep it inside until you explode? Trust me about this Misato, you don't want that to happen."
Misato recalled the entire even of Kaji's real job and what he did and how she was assigned to kill him. As he heard it, Shinji could only hold her tighter. After letting the huge weight off of her shoulders, she soon fell asleep. Shinji barley brought her to her room and lied her down and left only to come face to face with a slightly pissed off German.
"Why were you coming out of Misato's room?" She asked intently. "were you giving her another BACK MASSAGE?!?!............. Shinji?" The whole time Shinji didn't even smile. Now she was scared. "What happened?"
The story was retold by Shinji as Asuka was reduced to tears and like Misato just minuets before her, was held by the third child. After the tears stopped Asuka went on to tell how her extreme crush of Kaji had faded and replaced with more like a older brother feeling. She was devastated by this.
"So how's Misato taking it?" Asuka asked with concern that would have shocked anyone about two months ago.
"Worse than you, though I'm not surprised in the least." Shinji said as he looked over at Misato's door. "Lets go to bed." And they walked off together into his room.
The next day at NERV HQ a certain 5th Child looked up at the Goliath known at Eva Unit 02. He calmly stated to himself...
"Lets start this." As the Eva Strangely activated and made its way to Terminal Dogma........
