The shock begin to fade away. It was dark, and the shadows were playing tricks on his eyes. He couldn't see for certain if Asuka's eyes were open. But then again, he reasoned, if they were, he'd probably be dead by now. The earphones tugged and slipped from his ears. Now the white silence of the night could be heard, along with Asuka's slow, gentle breaths. Shinji steered his eyes downwards, surveying his unexpected companion. She was wearing a sleeveless shirt that was much too big for her. The collar drooped down to above her chest, revealing the top curves of her breasts. Shinji held his breath. Slowly, his eyes moved downwards. Her boxers were half hidden by her large shirt. Shinji exhaled as slowly as he could.
Shinji was just about to get up and sleep on the floor when Asuka sidled closer to him, her face moving towards his. Her slender legs where against his thighs and he could feel her soft, smooth skin pressed against his. He could feel her warmth radiating onto him. Her nose was pressed against his cheek. Her slightly parted lips were about a centimeter away from his, and Shinji could feel her warm breath on his lips. One sudden move, and their lips would be pressed against each other. Shinji couldn't deny that he was tempted.
Shinji moved his hand across her waist, softly placing his wrist along her hip. As if by reaction, Asuka's hand slid behind Shinji, her fingers resting limply along his back. Shinji was uncertain if she was pretending to sleep, but if she were her acting was beautiful. Shinji moved his hands upwards, trailing her long red hair, taking in the softness. It was not unlike fine silk, cool and smooth between his fingers… like water.
"Shinji…"
Shinji was still for a moment. It was a while until he was certain that Asuka was just talking in her sleep. She had called his name. Was she dreaming about him? If so what dream was it? Her fingers were a little tense against his back. It was as if she was gripping him. She softly muttered something unintelligible as her fingernails dug gently into his shirt and eventually relaxed and settled again, resting against his back. Her other arm slid underneath his neck
Both her arms were around him now, holding him in a gentle hug. Shinji closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. What was he doing? Was he really taking advantage of someone asleep? What was this feeling? It was growing inside him yet he couldn't identify it. What would happen if people found out? Would they hate him? Shinji opened his eyes and involuntarily exhaled, sending waves of hot air all over Asuka's face.
Asuka's eyes snapped open. Shinji could see her pupils shrink as they adsorbed the situation. She opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off when Shinji crushed his lips against hers. What motivated him to do so, he would never really understand. But he did. Asuka's eyes grew wider but soon begin to shut and eventually close completely. She was locked in a passionate embrace with Shinji Ikari, and she was enjoying it. Slowly, she slid her tongue into his mouth, exploring him. His tongue met hers, and they lapped together in a slow, graceful dance. Shinji pushed his tongue past hers, discovering her, savoring her taste. Shinji's arms were pressing her towards him, and her arms were rummaging his hair, pushing his face greedily into hers, wanting this moment of heated passion and bliss and primal ecstasy to never end.
Their lips parted eventually, and they stared at each other over the veil of darkness, both their moist lips curved in a smile. Asuka sidled closer to him, her head resting against his chest, as Shinji pulled the blankets over both of them, and they slept in each other's embrace until the sun rose the next morning. It was on that night that Shinji Ikari, 14 year old Evangelion Pilot and destined Third Child, fell in love with Asuka Langley Shoryu.
