A Diving Sensation Part 3
Back at the Katsuragi household the silence is broken by the opening of the door and our three heroes arriving. All three of them deep in thought but very relaxed from the spa.
Something strange happened after they arrived. Something that Shinji missed to notice. Instead of grabbing a beer and going straight to her room complaining about how tired she was, Misato left her thing next to the wall of the apartment and made some excuse about how she had to go buy food for dinner. And with that she went.
Shinji just ignored it thinking it was nothing and went to his room.
Asuka on the other hand, knew exactly what Misato had just done. Mostly because Misato winked at her before se leaved the apartment. Asuka felt a chill run down her spine. 'Oh my god, how am I even going to ask him??!!' Asuka was scared... no, she was terrified about talking to Shinji about what happened.
She rested her look on Shinji's door. "Well, it's now or never", she whispered to herself as she initiated the "long" walk to Shinji's door.
At Shinji's room
As soon as Shinji entered his room he threw himself in his bed. He reached for his SDAT and started listening to track 26.
'Misato and Asuka were really silent on the way home'. Shinji thought to himself remembering the boring and long road home. 'I hope Misato didn't told Asuka anything 'bout today... I'd bet Asuka would kill me if she knew' he let out a *sigh 'I still don't know why I did it... could it be...'
He was interrupted when he heard a knock on his door. He took off his earphones and said "Come in, it's open". He repositioned himself and sat down on his bed.
The door cracked open and in came Asuka. 'My god she is beautiful' was all Shinji could think as she came in looking shy, timid; a side of her which he had never seen.
"umm... hi Shinji I was wondering if we could...um...talk?" she said looking up at him. 'Calm down Asuka, calm down'.
Shinji now feared the worst scared of what Asuka might want to talk about. "Yeah...sure" he paused for a minute and removed some clothes from his bed and threw them to the floor, "Here" he said patting the place next to him in the bed.
"Thanks" was all Asuka could say as she sat down with a serious look on her face and her hands on her knees.
They sat there like for a minute before Shinji asked her "So what did you wanted to talk about Asuka?" he said, nervousness clearly on his tone.
She brought her eyes up to meet his. "Today...what exactly happened out there on the volcano today Shinji?" she asked. Just by looking at her Shinji knew that she wasn't teasing him or anything. "I guess Misato told you huh?" he looked down at the floor.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT MISATO SAID, I WANT TO HEAR IT FROM YOU...I'm just want to know...please" Shinji jumped at her sudden outburst and immediately looked at her, noticing the single tear that had flowed out of her eye making its way down her cheek.
"I umm...*sigh...after your cables were cut, I got really worried and I wanted to do something about it but Misato ordered me not to". He paused for a moment to look at her and see that he had her full attention and continued, "I kind of disobeyed that order and just dived into the magma to try and at least...reach for you" he finished and stared at the floor afraid of how might she respond.
"Why'd you do it baka?" There was something different at the way she had said "baka", it wasn't in her "put down" tone but rather in a caring way, which startled Shinji. "Asuka I really don't know why I did it but if you want an easy answer then I guess I didn't wanted to loose you". He really didn't know why he had saved her and he answered honestly when he said he didn't wanted to loose her.
They sat still for a while until something out of line happened that was completely different from his thoughts of how might Asuka had reacted. She reached for Shinji's hand and rested it above his. She lifted herself a little to be able to get near him and then she gave him a little peck on the cheek.
"Thank you...baka Shinji" she whispered into his ear with truthful feelings of thankfulness and those were the last words that she said to him before she stood up, reached for the door and left the room. Leaving a very, but very confused Shinji Ikari behind.
Well finally I finished chap. 3 , I know again not too long but it's REALLY hard, well at least I think it is. Please send reviews, I fixed the problem of only being able to receive signed reviews, now everyone can send reviews. I want to give thanks to:
