Shinji-gelion

Chapter 7

A moment shared as one.

Disclaimer: I do not own Evangelion. I do not own the characters. I do not own the concepts. I do own my ideas.

Characters potrayed in my fan-fic, do not re-inact Evangelion. Hence this is a fan-fic. This is NOT the Evangelion story rewritten.

*deep breath* MY CHARACTERS IN MY FANFIC ARE OOC! OUT OF CHARACTER! NOT THE SAME! NOT THE SAME PEOPLE! DON'T ACT THE SAME! DON'T RE-INACT THE SAME!

*takes a another deep calming breath*

I know my characters are ooc. For one, Shinji has a backbone. The sap version of Shinji is in Evangelion. Watch him wuss around there! Not here!

Rei is DEVELOPING EMOTIONS! Meaning, that is not the normal Rei. To see the statue, non-caring Rei, watch Evangelion.

To see anything original and not my concept, watch Evangelion.

On a side note, I am very happy for the reviews. I love all my readers, thats why I am continuing this.

Thank you to all my readers and enjoy.

And some suggestive parts ahead. ~_^

Shinji shook his head.

"I am not going to help you bring in your mountain of belongings unless you learn to request it nicely."

"What kind of man are you?" Asked Asuka heated.

"A decent human being who is used to be treated as one and isn't going to put up with anything less." Shinji replied crossing his arms looking flat at the second child.

"Grrr! Why can't you just help me? You should be offering to carry the bags of a beautiful girl."

"I already carried Rei's stuff inside." Shinji smirked.

"AAAAHHHHH!!!!" Screamed Asuka in rage. Shinji stood waiting pateintly as she fumed. She paced around the car round and round again throwing her arms up in the air making a scene. This scene however wasn't something short. It kept going for quite the prolonged period. She kicked the tires of Misato's car and pounded her fists on the wall a few times. Shinji tried not to grin watching her wonderful act. It was rather amusing though. The best part was he had done nothing to agrivate her.

When they had gotten out of the car, Asuka had just walked in and when Shinji came in carrying Rei's bag, Asuka looked like someone had slapped her across the face. Instantly she came down on Shinji for not carrying hers. He hadn't been impressed so he decided to play her game. The end result was where he was now with her, standing at the door watching her pace and smirking waiting for her to drop her pride and ask.

Asuka kept pacing then stopped, she looked at Shinji hard. It looked like she was about to say something when she turned around and threw her arms up again. Shinji checked the clock. Fifteen minutes, she had been ranting and steaming about this. Asuka spun on her heels again.

"Take my bags in Shinji-san?" She asked threw gritted teeth.

"Close, your forgetting the word 'please'." Shinji said completely calm. Asuka gritted her teeth even more, if that were possible.

"Please, take my bags in Shinji-san?" Her eyes looked like they were going to pop out of her head.

"Hey, no problem. I would be glad to help." Shinji picked up a good portion of her bags and took them in. Asuka let out a great cry that echoed throughout most of Tokyo-3.

Within a few more trips he had them in Rei's room. Shinji looked around. Speaking of Rei's room, where were all her belongings? He heard some shuffling and the sound of large objects moving. He suddenly had a feeling her knew were they were.

Asuka stood at the door way staring at him. He knew she wanted to say thanks but again her pride was stopping her. Shinji smiled gently.

"Just ask please and I will glady help out Asuka-san." Asuka blinked dumbfounded. After a time of making her lips work she managed out.

"Okay." Shinji patted her shoulder gently and went out to the hallway making a quick turn for his room.

Opening the door his suspicions were confirmed. Rei was moving her things into his room. There was only one bed, but she had done a great job at making enough space for the two of them to co-exist. He was okay with it, she didn't need to ask him, but he wondered how Misato would take to it. I mean, he was a boy and she was a girl. Now in the same room and he doubted he would get away with sleeping on the floor if Rei had something to say on it. Rei smiled looking up to see him as she pushed a night stand. Well, she was pushing it but it was a bit of a heavier night stand.

"Let me help." Shinji quickly bent down and helped push. "Where would you like it?" He asked. Rei looked forward a bit.

"Just agaisn't the wall." With Shinji now helping it moved alot easier. When it was agaisn't the wall Rei rubbed her brow and stood up giving her small tight smile.

"Thank you Shinji."

"No, it was my pleasure but uh, Rei..."

"Yes Shinji?" Rei asked with a cheery tone. Cheery as her voice got tone wise.

"How come you suddenly moved into my room?" Shinji inquired gently.

"I don't like her. If I have to be in the same house, then I don't need to be in the same room." Shinji smiled a bit nervous.

"Have you ran this by Misato?"

"I haven't ran by Misato recently no." Shinji grimaced.

"I meant have you..." Rei was smiling at him.

"Not yet, but I will take care of it." Shinji blinked. Rei had made a joke.

"Rei! You made a joke!" Shinji hugged Rei with a big grin. Rei let out a small giggle.

"Yes Shinji, that was a joke." Rei hugged Shinji back. "I should go find her though, and let her know my desicion." Shinji nodded looking about the room.

"Wow. You worked hard, and got it moved pretty fast." Shinji praised.

"I didn't want her around my possesions. I don't want her around you." Rei stopped. Shinji smiled with a sweat drop. "You aren't my possesion I mean... Well, I don't want her around you. I don't like her." Rei quickly recovered her words.

"I understand Rei but I want you to know you have nothing to worry about. She's another pilot, I like you. Besides, didn't she like that scruffy man named Kaji?"

As Kaji walked down the street he suddenly sneezed.

"Odd, I don't think i'm sick. Must be something in the air."

"It's irrelevant. She is living with us now. A wall seperating her from me is still a wall between us." Rei replied. Shinji nodded taking note.

"Do you want me to come with you to talk to Misato?"

"No, I will suffice by myself." Rei gave a soft smile and went out into the hallway. Shinji sat down a bit nervous on his bed. He kept thinking about Rei now in his room with him. Sleeping in the same bed, in those... His mind began to drift, so he gave it a good shake. No, it was just his girlfriend in the same room. Nothing, aside realtionship development, was going to come out of this.

Rei walked out into the hallway. She felt a bit sticky from moving stuff around. She stopped and sniffed the air. She didn't smell clean. Then she began to fidgit thinking how she had just been beside her Shinji smelling unclean. This was not at all a pleasent thought to her. She didn't like being sweaty or noticing her smell. She saw no reason why Shinji would find it appeasing. It was then she had the sudden urge to take a shower. Her priorities now conflicted. She needed to talk with Misato but what if Shinji came out in the intermittent time? She would still smell and be sweaty. She fought with what to do when she realized that debating was taking all of her time. Now she started to grasp the concept of being flustered. Making her mind up she headed towards Misato, who was most likely drinking in the kitchen as it was her habit.

Misato opened the can and with a great cry downed it. Sighlying happily and looking to the ceiling, then frowning when she looked down to see Rei there. Determination to make herself look busy she grabbed unto another can and while opening it asked Rei,

"Yes Rei?"

"I am moving into Shinji's room. I am here to let you know of my activities." Then Misato emptied most of what she had drinking from her new can onto the table. The headache came back like a train wreck.

"What's wrong with you room?!" Exasperated and wiping beer off her chin and lips with her sleeve.

"It's occupied."

"That's the idea! You occupying with Asuka."

"Vacancy for that room is one. I am imposing on it." Misato threw her hands in the air.

"It's your room! You can't possible impose upon it!" She was breathing heavy. Too much stress was hitting her recently, this stress had a name, Ayanami Rei.

"I don't want there to be two people in that room."

"How is moving into Shinji's room going to help you stay one person per room!?"

"My room will still have one person."

"That's not what I am asking Rei!"

"I don't want to be in the same room as the third child. You have not consulted me nor Shinji over the matter of Asuka moving in. To accomadate her privacy, I am staying with Shinji."

"This isn't about Asuka is it? You just want to be in the same room as Shinji." Misato raised a brow finally calming down a little.

"Partially." Misato blinked.

"I see. Well Rei, you are obviously in full realization of what this could lead to. I guess if that's your choice I will have to honor it. I don't want any accidents though."

"Moving in with Shinji is not an accident Misato-san." Misato rolled her eyes.

"Just,... Keep your pants on..."

"What do you..."

"No! Conversation over! Misato needs more beer now! No more talking!" Misato cracked open another can and began guzzling. Rei shrugged and then smiled a little.

"Thank you Misato." Misato looked at Rei with a fixed expression and gave a very slight nod.

Rei then remembered her state. She was still sweaty, she hastily made her way towards the bath.

Shinji sat on his bead shaking his head at the exchange between Rei and Misato. He was sure only the entire complex had heard it. He heard a knock at the door. It couldn't be Rei, Rei would have just come in right away. Misato he had heard talking, or rather yelling, so that left...

"Come in Asuka-san." Shinji replied to the knock. Timidly Asuka came in. When her eyes met with Shinji's she turned her head and stuck her nose up a bit. Shinji looked at her for a bit waiting to see if she was going to say something. Since nothing seemed to be happenig after some moments of silence Shinji started.

"Did you need help with moving stuff around in your room?" He asked, offering this time. Asuka suddenly turned and looked at him.

"No, my room is fine. I arrange my own room."

"I see. I hope it's going well." Shinji opened up the conversation which was more arkward then anything he could remember.

"When I do things they go perfectly, without flaw and smoothly." Shinji nodded at her words. This time he waited for her to say something. She looked about his room and then finnally opened her mouth again.

"So, the first child has moved her belongings into this room? You shacking up with her now?"

"If you use that term again I will ask you to leave." Shinji eyes stared into Asuka's dead straight.

"Wrong word... She moved her things here didn't she though... I thought I would have to stay with her."

"Rei decided it was better for you to have your own room. She didn't do it out of spite." Shinji lied. Asuka looked at him.

"I don't think she likes me." Shinji sighed.

"Asuka-san, I don't know what it was like in germany but this is a family. Well not actually but we all work together. Misato has been there for me and Rei many times as we will be there for her."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Asuka voice started to rise.

"It means you don't need to put up a front. Or do an act infront of us. We are accepting people. No one's trying to better themselves compared to others. I feel very strong for Rei, I will go as far as to say I love her. I don't want her hurt physically or mentally. Rei might not act or seem like a normal girl, but I love her. That's what matters to me. Misato is not my mother, nor a parent. She is the closet thing I have. I've never had a sister though... There's an opening if you like." Asuka humphed and studied the ground.

"I don't put up an act. You guys are just so wierd." Shinji looked at her flatly.

"Do you want us to be nice to you? Show you around and act as freinds?" Asuka looked at him hard and then nodded very slightly.

"Don't expect specail treatment though... I have to live up to the great Asuka. I... I would like to be shown around. Maybe even learn new things."

"I understand Asuka. I will say this, opening yourself up opens others to you as well. Until you can do that, freinds are the ones you make. Make freinds that will last and stay by your side. Anything else Asuka-san?"

"My room, you did okay on bringing that stuff in."

"Your welcome Asuka-san."

"Hey, I ain't thanking you Shinji-san. Don't get me wrong. You could have done better and you could have done worse." Shinji chuckled.

"Whatever you say." Asuka then turned to her side and opened his door, just as she left she gave a suppressed smile and then went to her room.

'That was interesting.' Shinji thought. He leaned up agaisn't his bed waiting for Rei to return. There was alot to think about and ways to go about things. He leaned his head back looking at the ceiling to lose himself in his thoughts.

Asuka walked to her room and opened the door entering it, she stopped a second before she closed the door. This was how it was going to be. Seemed she wasn't fitting in the way she had expected. She walked over and fell down on her bed, lying on her side. There were certainly interesting people she had come to meet. There was Misato, she wouldn't be a problem, if anything Misato would be fun. The fact that Misato had a constant beer supply around was a little appealing too. There was Rei, she didn't know what to make of Rei at this point. Rei seemed so bland and quiet, but when she was around Shinji she came to life. Like she reserved everything for Shinji. Seemed like she had trouble expressing herself but it still showed when she had watched her chat with Shinji. She remembered the ride. The girl had come to life. They had talked on and on. Making suttle hints here and there. It had almost made her sick but it was all she knew. Then there was Shinji. Shinji was the hardest yet to figure out. Her first impression was a weak boy. The third child had little physique and she would have expected him to be quiet like Rei. It was quite the opposite. He hadn't looked when her dress had went up like his pervert freinds. Well Rei had her covered his eyes but he had turned towards Rei when it happened anyway. She knew Shinji wouldn't have been looking had Rei not been there. She wasn't sure if that bugged her more that he wasn't typical like the other two or more the fact that he was different. What little she had met of him had aggrivated her so bad but when she really though on it he had done nothing to aggrivate her. He did well on his tests but that had nothing to do with beating her. She was the one that had challenged him. His main problem was his infactuation with Rei. If Rei wasn't there he would probably be a statue or something. Yet he was sure of himself and confident how to go about things. In her own way back in his room she had said thanks. Even though she denied it to him. It was too early to decide what to think of her life here in Japan. She didn't like it so far, but on the other hand she didn't hate it.

She sighed and turned to her other side. Tommorow was another day. She would be going to school tommorow. If she could convince Shinji to show her around without having to beg him it would be nice.

The bath was nice. Even refreshing. Rei felt alot better about herself being clean now and smiling nice. She wasn't a total mess before but she wasn't very appeasing either. Appeasing, was that the word she wanted to use? She wasn't sure. It did fit the description of her purpose for what she was trying to describe to herself but she wanted to be more. Shinji had given her alot. He fought for her and protected her. He cared for her. He had gone out of his way to care over her. When he first had met her he took care for her. It wasn't immediate that he went for her although it was quite direct. It was so confusing at first she never knew what to think about it. Not even what to do about it or why it was happening. More and more as he oppened his self to her and shared his feelings, his past and emotions, she had started to want to do the same for him. As they saw each other more often and talked more, she found herself telling him far more then what was nessacary to say in her responses. Then kissing her, she closed her eyes when she thought of the kiss. She mimicked with her lips how she remembered every seperate minuscule detail. How she was shocked at first and then wanted to melt into it. Melt might not be the way to explain how she felt about it, but it was warm and inviting. Soon she returned it, she wasn't sure how she was going to return it but it came quite naturally. More and more they grew closer. Time was flying by so fast while she visited with him. He had opened her eyes to many thing she hadn't experienced before. He was sincere and kind. She knew that what he felt for her was love and it was developing. She sunk downwards letting the water cover up to her nose, bathing herself in the warm heat. Soon she would be in his arms and that kept her mind at ease and excited at the same time. That night they had spent before, she wanted to be close. When they lied together with their bodies so close just reaching out would touch the other. It had been arkward at first, soon it became comfortable. Shinji strechted out his hand to meet hers. She met his and pulled it across her like a second blanket of sorts. Then feeling inclined she had reached her hand out and put it around his side. Soon they were hugging. It became warm, so very warm but it wasn't hot. It was a very nice warm and her eyes had closed right away as she started to drift, her mind becoming peaceful. When she awoke Shinji was looking into her eyes. That was such a wonderful feeling to wake up and have someone there.

She sat back up and looked around. She was clean now and she wanted to talk more with Shinji. She had many things to ask and she wanted to hear what he might talk about in return. In all her thought and lost in it, she walked straight out of the bathroom and dripping wet into Shinji's room. Causually she shook Shinji's shoulder. He was staring at the ceiling. When he refocused his eyes and look down he suddenly jumped back. Rei blinked not sure why he jumped and then realized she had been so distracted that she had forgotten clothes.

"R-Rei!" Shinji exclaimed, obviously totally shocked. Rei began to get embarressed with herself for not remembering clothes. It was a very simple thing, the fact she had been so distracted she had forgotten to put them on baffled her.

"Sorry Shinji. I will return with clothing." Rei turned to leave and then stopped. Her clothes were in the room, and she wasn't going to put them on somewhere else seeing as this was her room now as well.

"On second thought, I will be changing here as my clothes are located here." Her cheeks were burning. She was sure if they got any hotter her face would light on fire. Not litteral fire but it felt like it was.

Shinji got up equally embarressed and red and went to leave. Rei watched him trying to find some words and then called to him.

"Shinji." He stopped but didn't turn. His voice was low and quiet but carried a hint of something in it that was beggining to excite her.

"Yes Rei?"

"Is it bad to look at me this way?" Shinji shook his head in earnest and turned to face her still flush.

"It's not that Rei. You are the most beautiful and captivating person I have ever seen. It's not right for me to see you this way though." Shinji tried adverting his eyes but they kept falling back to her and her eyes.

"Is it not right if I don't mind you seeing me like this?" Rei swallowed.

"It-it's..." Shinji trailed off losing his rational mind. Rei stepped closer.

"I have a request." Shinji nodded looking at her eyes now.

"Yes?" His voice tone had changed now, it was no longer shaky or nervous, it was carrying something she had never heard before and it made her shiver in a good way. When she responded back she found her own tone now carried the hint of what she didn't know.

"I want to see you like I am now. Again that is." Her cheeks burned hot and she shook slightly not sure why but lost in her thoughts too much to turn back. Shinji's eyes went wide.

"Are you sure Rei?" Rei nodded in response.

"It will be even." Shinji looked down for a while then nodded making up his mind. Rei watched as he undid his belt and pulled it off. Then he reached, cross armed and taking grasp of his shirt pulled it off. Slowing almost unsure, undid the button to his pants and using his thumbs in one motion had them to his ankles and then stepped out of them. He stood slowly back up with only his boxers on. His eyes looked to her as if asking if she was really okay with this.

"I have seen it once before Shinji, let me see it again."

"Yes." Was what he managed out. Then he pulled them off. Her heart raced fast in her chest. It was beating so hard she felt it might burst. She also was not feeling hot just in her cheeks anymore but her body was heating up. She walked forward and looked at him head to toe. In return he looked at her the same. Then she walked up and placed her hands on his chest and leaned on him gently.

"You are handsome Shinji. Don't let someone say different. I like you the way you are and I want you to stay the way you are. I will always know you as Shinji. I will always feel for you as I have come to feel. I want to share as you have shared with me. I want to see things through your eyes. I want to feel alive like I see when I look into your eyes. I see something I have barely begun to grasp. I want to grab hold of that tingle and keep on it till I can experience it myself. I want to experience this not alone but with you." Rei took her head of his chest and leaned into a kiss. Shinji kissed back. Then her troubles washed away. There was only Shinji in her mind and she felt at peace and felt love.

Shinji kissed back as her lips touched his. He was so embarrsessed and at the same time felt beyond something he could measure. Rei had surprised him. He was so nervous, with where she was going but Rei was better then that. Rei was trying to understand her feelings. He felt ashamed he had thoughten dirty thoughts. He winced at each time he had hesitated while preforming her request. Dispite all those thoughts aside this was the most incredible thing he had ever felt. He was so close to Rei not just physically right now but emotionally.

"Let's go to bed Rei." He said as they parted. Rei nodded in agreement, embarressed face and big grin.

They climbed in together. Shinji letting her go first and then getting in himself. He turned himself so he faced her and gave her another kiss. This time she returned his kiss immediately. He wrapped his arms around her, as she wrapped hers around him. Soon they started to drift and fell asleep in each others arms, as close as possible and even closer with thier hearts.

Misato looked around the room. Her head slowly lifted from the table. She looked at the table. There were cans of beer empty of course and strewn about. How many had she drank? She didn't remember. She started to count. She stopped counting at fifteen. That was enough for her to know she was drunk. She stood up wobbily, the room began to spin. She wondered if Asuka was up still. She should check up on her to see if she settled in. She stumbled down through the hallway banging her shoulder from side to side a few times. Reaching out and almost falling when she grabbed the door handle. She opened the door with a big smile.

"Good evening!... hic." She said in a loud voice. Asuka looked at her half surprised and half not.

"Misato your drunk." Asuka looked at her wobbling while supporting herself on the door.

"I'msh finesh! I's only had a few. S'not that many! Jusht a couple... Or more..." She counted on her fingers.

"I think you need to lie down Misato, before you hurt someone or yourself."

"Don't be sucsh a worry wortsh!" Misato took a few steps and fell on Asuka's bed. Asuka brought her legs back quickly out of the way. She had been lying down and now she was sitting up keeping on eye on her.

"Shou, how you likesh it heresh?" Asuka had to say it again to herself to catch what she meant. It was very hard for her to translate drunken Japanese.

"I don't know yet. Just got here really. Those two are really wierd." Misato slapped her on the back with laugh.

"They in love! Thesshe probablysh making itsh right nowsssh." Her breath completely reaked of Yebisu beer. Asuka turned her head a bit to get some fresh air.

"I don't care. Why are you telling me this?" Asuka questioned.

"Caush I your gaurdian. A-an I wanna check up on ya." Misato head bobbed almost shoulder to shoulder she shook it trying to keep it straight. "Whatcha shink of Rei?"

"She's reserved, and for Shinji alone. She's devoted to him." Misato laughed again loud.

"Nothingsh wrong with thatt! She needsh love Asuka. Shinji'sh really good phhor her." Misato smiled. "And Shinji... Whatsch about himss?"

"He's not what I expected. He can be nice. I don't like something about him though."

"Shure shure." Misato stood up wobbling almost over. Asuka almost went to reach to catch her.

"Jeez, your being stupid Misato. Go to bed and get some rest." Asuka insisted. Misato waved her hand and then started giggling.

"Not till I seesh if theys making lovesshh."

"WHAT!?" Asuka screamed. Before she could say anything more Misato had stumbled out into the hall and was tripping her way towards Shinji's room. Asuka ran out tryin to stop her but it was too late. With a laugh she opened the door shoving her drunken wieght into it. Asuka covered her eyes scarred to look. When there was silence she opened her eyes peaking through her fingers. Then uncovered them to see Shinji sleeping in Rei's arms. Both were asleep and looked very peaceful. Misato now wore a calm smile.

"There good kids aren't they?" Asuka blinked as Misato was talking normal now with almost no slur at all.

"I don't see what's so great." She said keeping her voice low but throwing her tone into it.

"One day you will Asuka. You can go to bed now. I will be fine." Misato smiled at her as she closed the door. Asuka looked at Misato and the door for a second trying to figure out what just happened.

"The moron isn't even taking advantage of her." She said after a time. Misato nodded at her.

"Yes, Shinji is a good kid. Deep down he might be a bit scarred of somethings but he tries hard to fit in. He tries even more hard to protect Rei. I think he's trying to prove something but not only to his father but to himself. In the process he realized it wasn't important and started falling in love with Rei."

"Why did you show me this Misato?" Asuka asked still confused slightly.

"I wanted you to know why Shinji is the way he is. There was no way I could explain it but I could show you it."

"Why is he trying to prove himself to his father?" Asuka looked skeptical.

"Because Asuka. His father abondoned him as a child. He's more like you then you think." Asuka gasped at hearing this. She closed her mouth and searched the ground with her eyes trying to find something to say to counter it. This time she was at a loss.

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Be kind to him Asuka. Shinji could end up being one of the best freinds you could ever have. Don't turn him away just because he has good abilties with Eva's. If you let that get in the way you will never see what Rei sees in him. You will never see what I see in him. You children are all very specail. There is alot that rides on your guys shoulders. Instead of carrying the wieght alone... Try carrying it together." Misato gave Asuka a gentle pat on her shoulder with a slight rub then walked quite straight to her room. Asuka thought for awhile.

"You tricked me Misato." Asuka whispered. Then she went to bed.

"I want you to schedule a test." Ritsuko turned at the voice. She knew te voice anyways but he had managed to sneak in, like he seemed to be so well at doing.

"What test am I going to be scheduling?" Ritsuko asked not showing any sign of surprise.

"A synch test." Ritsuko blinked at Gendo.

"There's one scheduled in a few days."

"Change it for tommorow." Gendo replied walking away. Ritsuko stared at his retreating form for a while. This didn't make sense to her. Without a doubt he was up to something. As what to do about it she was unsure. Informing Misato would be the safest and most logical action. She had to finish her tasks first anyways. Bending down to continue, she had lots of time to reflect upon the recent development.

Author's note: I have to end the chapter here because notepad runs out of memory. 8th chapter is on it's way right now.
