Tears of an Angel
Chapter 2
~Hi everyone! I'm back! *evil laughter* Enjoy Chapter 2! Yes, I think this time the shonen-ai thing will be in full swing^^.

"How about you Rei? Can you stay home today?" asked Misato.

"I can't Misato-sama. I have an algebra test today. Gomen," said Rei looking a slight bit disappointed.

"Asuka?" asked Misato.

"Me? No way! I have to put up with the famous Shinji all day and even in the morning! Plus, when he's like that, he gets so whiny! No thanks."

"Toji? What about you?" asked Misato again.

"Sorry, Misato-chan, but I want to practice soccer after school in my brand new, clean shoes!" Toji proclaimed in a joyous voice.

"Fine. Kaworu?" Misato saying in a tone that Kaworu was her last resort, only she was expecting him to say 'yes' because she knew that Kaworu found Shinji very cute.

"I would like to stay and take care of Shinji," said Kaworu, smiling. "It would be my pleasure. But, if you think its okay, I mean. You need to call the school of course."

"Of course! Thank-you so much, Kaworu! And as for you three," she was referring to Rei, Toji, and Asuka "Off to school with you, PRONTO!" The three teenagers left the room and headed for school grabbing their jackets and backpacks, and Asuka did have her right report with her.

Misato spent the next three hours cleaning up the mess in the basement. "Crazy kids, what were they thinking? Well...I probably would have done the same thing. Besides they were only trying to help," said Misato thinking that this was a real accident rather than on purpose. Kaworu was preparing a small serving of toast for Shinji in the kitchen. Misato came up the stairs and wasn't wet at all except for her bare feet. That was amazing!

"Thanks again, Kaworu-kun, for all your help. Now, you know the number to Nerv if you need anything. And play nice with Shinji, all right?"

"Okay, Misato-chan," answered Kaworu sweetly. "See you later tonight."

"I called the school for you and you're all set. I'll be home at five. Bye-bye!" called Misato, blowing Kaworu a kiss as she left. Kaworu decided to check up on Shinji before his toast got cold.

Kaworu knocked on Shinji's door and quietly said "Shinji? I'm coming in, ok?" Kaworu opened up the door to find Shinji sleeping like an innocent angel. He placed the tray of food on a stool across the side of the bed as Kaworu sat next to the object of his feelings of passion. Kaworu extended his hand and soothed it across Shinji's sleeping face feeling the bones of his jaw and cheeks. "He's burning up, my poor Shinji." Shinji started to wake up softly that made Kaworu's heart pound like an eternal drumbeat. He's beautiful, thought Kaworu, so innocent. Like an angel; my angel.

"K-Kaworu-kun?" said Shinji turning his head to meet Kaworu's deep crimson eyes. "Are you ok?" Shinji was so snuggled into his sheets that his night shirt was pulled right up to his chest.

"No, I just brought you some food. In case you were hungry later," Kaworu smiled sweetly that made Shinji's cheeks turn a light shade of pink. "I'm sorry, Kaworu-kun," Shinji whispered.

"About what, Shin-chan?" Kaworu asked in small surprise.

"About...the music; if I found them sooner, then..." Shinji was hushed by Kaworu's long cold finger on his silky lips that Kaworu just had to have. He slide down on the bed next to Shinji resting on one elbow, never looking away from the smaller boy. Being so close to Kaworu made chills go up and down Shinji's spine that he couldn't help but give a small shudder and a soft sigh that made him blush even harder than before. "Also...I...um, thank-you for finding my report," Shinji said not being able to look away from Kaworu's pure face and gentle smile. Shinji wanted that smile; he had to have it, so he snuggled closer to Kaworu until their flesh touched the other. He is so warm, Shinji thought.

"It's ok, Shinji. You have a way with words in your schoolwork."

"You read it?"

"Yes, indeed. It was...interesting." Kaworu said widening his eyes a little larger.

"It was about animals and how they respond to their natural instincts and about reproduction," Shinji said, as he blushed at the last word, "Mainly about..."

"Courtships?" Kaworu said innocently. Shinji was partly red now. Normally Shinji never imagined talking about "those" kinds of things with another boy, but with Kaworu it was ok. Kaworu leaned in closer to Shinji as Shinji snapped out of his la-la land.

"Kaworu? I-I don't think you should. I have a cold, you'll catch it if you...if you..." It was too late. Kaworu placed a kiss gently on Shinji's parted lips. Shinji did not have any gut feeling to push him away instead, he brought him closer. Kaworu pulled away with a look in his eyes toward Shinji that was definitely not for innocent play.

"It's ok, Shin-chan," said Kaworu as he played with the loose hair at the back of Shinji's neck. "If I would become sick, I'd rather have caught it from you." He and Shinji were so close that any closer they would be one body, one person, one angel. Kaworu brought his remaining hand to Shinji's top button and unfastened it with such playful motion that he did the same with remaining ones. Shinji already had a fever, however, he felt himself getting hotter and hotter at the touch of his lover's ivory skin. Suddenly, the night shirt slipped off and fell over the bed. Kaworu laced his fingers with Shinji's and whispered into his ear- "Let's perform our own courtship here and now." He moved his hand down Shinji's flat, bare, smooth back and caressed it gently making Shinji lose control of his feelings.

"Please...I want you Kao-chan" Shinji said as his voice started to turn into moans "I love you, please." Shinji shyly started on Kaworu's buttons as Kaworu helped him since his fingers were shaking either of fear or excitement. His shirt was off; Kaworu let Shinji wrap his thin arms around him as he placed his face at the base of Kaworu's neck. They stayed like that for awhile, not knowing where to go from there.

"Do not worry about the music," Kaworu started, tightening his grip on Shinji, feeling his legs intertwined with his. "I sure we can perform something else."

"A-All right, I'd be happy to." Not knowing what to do, Shinji looked up at Kaworu's lovely eyes. You have such deep, elegant eyes, thought Shinji, deep pools of rubies. Kaworu kissed Shinji lightly, and then opened his mouth more for more passion and pleasure, sending one hand down Shinji's chest. Shinji let out a moan and Kaworu kissed and licked Shinji's neck, loving every inch of pale skin that he knew as well as his own. Shinji's head whipped back with a gasp of pleasure.

"Am I hurting you? I'm sorry" Kaworu said smoothly licking Shinji's lips.

"No, I'm just a little ticklish that's all. My chest is pounding from my cold too. I-It's nothing to worry about;" said the younger pilot.

"I'll make you feel better, my angel," said Kaworu, as he held Shinji's delicate face in the palm of his hands so close to his. "This will make you feel more at ease. I had a dream about you, my darling."

"You did?" Shinji said all ears and his mind nowhere besides listening to the young, adolescent boy near him.

"Yes, it was so right, you and I. I found you for the first time in my dream, all alone. You were so sad."

Shinji nearly choked at this. "Me too, Kao- chan, I had the same dream as you! You were just like this, smiling and the wind blew across your gray hair and you were...close...like...you are now." Shinji was so happy that he was fighting an army of tears in the back of his eyes. Kaworu, noticing this, embraced Shinji's head and pulled it so that both boys were eye-to-eye, so close it was the closest of human possibility.

"I'm happy that you feel that way too, Shinji," Kaworu whispered as he had tears of his own to take care of. "I love, you" he spoke with the most passionate voice that Shinji has ever heard. No longer keeping his heart from melting, Shinji's tears trickled down his glowing cheeks. Shinji couldn't help but call out Kaworu's name over and over as he planted kisses on Shinji's chest. Shinji was crying of pure happiness and joy. Those kinds of tears were known as~
Tears of an Angel.
