Tears of an Angel
Chapter 7
Misato was so scared she lost her voice. Was Kaworu actually alive? She swished around to get a better view. Shinji, depressed as he was, felt a soft object caressing his cheek. It felt so warm. Shinji opened his tear-filled eyes and smiled so sincere to what was before him.
"Don't cry, Shinji. Sad tears don't suit you."
"K-Kaworu? You're....you're...here?" Shinji was never so bewildered in his life. Misato clasped her hands to her mouth because she was so relieved. Kaworu began to cry so happily that made Shinji tighten his grip on the hand of his true love.
"I-...then I...wasn't too late," Shinji continued. "I saved you, Kaworu."
"Yes, you did, my love. Tabris is gone. I will now never disappear again. Let's go home. It's after midnight and it's raining outside. You'll get sick again." Kaworu noticed Misato standing by. "Oh, hello Misato-chan. How are you tonight?"
Misato just smiled sweetly and answered: "Never better, Kaworu-kun, never better. You are right, let's go home."
"No," said Shinji. "Let's go home together." Shinji looked at Kaworu as if he was going to kiss him forever. Kaworu was an angel, feeling all the pain in the world every single day can cause tears. Tears of an Angel.
"SO, THIS IS A TALE OF THE CASTAWAYS THEY ARE HERE FOR A LONG, LONG TIME, THEY'LL HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST OF THINGS....." Rei sang in a low, bored voice. "Why are you two pretending you are on a stranded island in the Sea of Japan?" she asked.
"No nation supported our treaty, so they said we can have a tea party on a stranded island. Keep singing," said Asuka using a fun noodle from the basement as a fishing pole in a glass of water. "It is 12:30; Misato probably went to LA along with Shinji and Kaworu. I wonder if they'll bring me back a whistle."
"Only problem is, I don't think that Los Angeles has a whistle big enough to fit between your lips," a voice came from the doorway answering Asuka. Shinji was standing there with Kaworu on his left and Misato standing right behind them.
"What's all this?" Misato protested. "It looks as if World War I started all over again in this room!"
"She's getting good!" Toji whispered to Rei, smirking.
"All right, everyone to bed!" Misato said pointing to the ceiling.
"But.....," Toji started.
"NOW!!" Misato snapped. In a reluctant manner, Rei, Asuka, Shinji, Toji, and Kaworu walked in unison up the stairs to their designated sleeping quarters. It was almost one in the morning as Shinji laid on his back, facing the ceiling listening to his walkman. The song was "My Heart Will Go On" by Celin Dion. For one reason or another, it made Shinji think about what had happened that night. Shinji Ikari almost lost the boy he was infatuated with. Kaworu and he were like Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers doomed by forces unknowing to their understanding of stopping. Shinji began to hum the tune after he turned to his side staring at the wall. The music died. The headphones were taken off. Not by Shinji, by Kaworu. Shinji blinked in surprise as he turned over to meet Kaworu.
"I came to wish you a pleasant night, Shin- chan," Kaworu said playing with Shinji's long bangs to and fro. "And thank- you for....tonight." Kaworu blushed a little touching Shinji's parted lips as a silhouette outlined him in the moonlight that beamed through the window's shades.
"I didn't want you to leave me, Kaworu-kun. I love you so much that I would not have the will to live on." Shinji patted his hand next to him on his bed and turned to Kaworu. "Stay with me tonight, Kao-chan. Come to bed, with me." Kaworu did what Shinji wished to happen. Neither of them was in their pajamas but they didn't care the least. Kaworu motioned close to Shinji. Shinji did the same. The older boy (Kaworu) slid his hand behind Shinji and caressed his back so softly that Shinji felt that this intense feeling was arousal. Shinji could not look away from him. Shinji, as shy as he was, lifted a leg over Kaworu's leg. Kaworu's skin was hot against his own. Kaworu's hand journeyed lower and lower until he felt Shinji's bottom. Shinji lips were on a few centimeters from Kaworu's; Kaworu heard the music coming from Shinji's walkman. He smiled warmly. Shinji's eyes were longing for Kaworu to be nearer than he was now.
"I love you so much, Shinji-kun." Kaworu whispered so slowly that his lips wouldn't touch Shinji's until he finished what he wanted to say. "You are so caring, brave, sweet, and so adorable." Shinji's heart finally melted away. He wanted to submit to Kaworu and let him have his way with him. Shinji was placed in a pitch black room with no light except for the strands of moonlight over Kaworu and himself. Dead silence. Well...not really. Shinji could hear Rei in Asuka's room on the karaoke machine singing Virtual Star Embryology with her pretty voice. The romantic Titanic song was heard by the two boys through the headphones and something beautiful happened. Kaworu began to sing along with the song to Shinji quietly. Shinji followed feeling Kaworu's breath in his mouth. The silent duet between Heaven's lovers. When the song ended, Shinji charged into Kaworu's mouth never giving any mercy to him for air. Exploring each other's mouth, hands felt the other's body inch by inch. Everything was so right. The sound of calling out the other's name and stealing kisses and gazing into each other's eyes made Shinji very happy to be alive. Kaworu leaned over to the window and shut the blinds to make the room pure black.
"N-Nani?" Shinji said, feeling incredibly hot.
"Many things can be emerged from total darkness, Shin-kun," Kaworu said crawling on top of Shinji. Shinji moaned so irresistibly that Kaworu continued down his body. Kaworu was alive. His heart lived on in two bodies; in himself and within Shinji.
Every night in my dreams I see you. I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
And will never go until we're gone
Love is when I loved you
One true time I hoped to
In my life will always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
You're here there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
God was in his Heaven and all is right with the
world.
.........well, almost.
Monday morning~ (No, not the song)
"Shinji! Wake up, dear! You're late for school!"
Misato cried out from downstairs. PenPen, wearing a magician hat,
squawked in a hurry. As this went on, Shinji's alarm clock did indeed
go off. Shinji jumped up and the fun starts all over again!
"Wha????? OH, NO! I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL AGAIN!!!!"
Shinji announced. He rushed out of bed and started to get dressed and
wanted to make his bed but felt that he did not have time. He raced
downstairs fixing his shirt and belt, looking stressed out-big-time!
"MISATO! Why didn't you wake me up in time for the first bell?!"
Shinji zapped left and right trying to collect all his things as a
piece of toast was hanging from his mouth.
"I tried waking you up Shinji, dear, several times
and each time you said you were getting up right away."
"And you believe me?"
"Shinji?"
"What? I'm very late!!"
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Misato said as she
held up his lunchbox. Shinji poked out his head from behind the
corner.
"Oh, yeah. Thanks. Hey, where is everybody?" as he
looked around.
"They already left awhile ago, Shinji-kun," Misato
happily answered.
"WHAT?!?!?!?" Shinji shouted. Shinji grabbed his
school bag and stormed out the door. "Bye-Misato-sama!"
"Good-bye, Shinji!"
"Now, I hope these newspapers will be enough for the
bonfire at the school," Toji said.
"Well, our teacher wanted us to note what happens
when we set things on fire can be a dangerous thing," Rei said.
"Maybe that's why we didn't set our home on fire to
eat those smoorz for dinner the other night," Kaworu added. Kaworu was
dragging a small red wagon filled with old newspapers that Misato
never got around to throw away.
"That reminds me, we're all going out for dinner
tonight," Asuka remembered. "It's that new restaurant- The West Hill.
I heard their cheesecake was to die for!"
"Really? Better not make any plans tonight," Toji
finished.
"Um...." Kaworu blurted out at a random second.
"What is it, Kaworu?" Asuka asked stopping with
everyone else at once. "What is wrong?"
"Do you hear a galloping vibration? Like a person
dashing faster than a cheetah?" After hearing this, Rei saw someone
running at full speed with a trace of smoke behind him. Shinji flashed
by the four dumfounded pilots, making their hair and loose cloths blow
with the wind he created. With no one moving, Toji said:
"Was that Shinji just now?"
"Uh-huh," answered Kaworu with the same mono-toned
look that Rei was unique for.
In the back of the school with the class~
"I tried to wake you up, then Kaworu tried to wake
you up next, then Toji, then Rei, then PenPen, then Misato. After all
those tries we left. Then Misato tried to wake you up another few
tries. Try getting more sleep, will 'ya? I can't spend my time and my
priceless energy fixing and cleaning up your mistakes, Shinji! Neither
can everyone else. What were you doing last night? Reading? Listening
to music? Or whatever you were aimlessly doing, don't be too sleepy
for tonight! You and Kaworu-kun have to play for the musical! I don't
want to repeat myself, ok?" Asuka blabbed on.
"All right, all right, Asuka," Shinji said. "I'm ready for tonight. For sure! Urm....what was the title of our performance again?" Asuka blasted Shinji over the head with her fist.
"You, BAKA!!! Where have you've been for the last three months? Our school is putting on a performance of "The Scarlet Letter" but we are putting it in the form of a musical. Sheesh!"
"Sorry."
"Shinji, don't worry. I found extra copies of our music. We're all set for tonight," Kaworu reminded him.
"Wow! You're the best, Kaworu! I thought we would be in big trouble with the director!" Shinji fell silent when the teacher walked out of the school and to his class. Putting on a happy face with clean hair, the teacher greeted:
"Good morning, class!!"
"Ohayo!!!" everyone greeted back.
"Today, we are going to figure out why not to play with fire! I know you all learned this when you were small, but since all of you are fourteen and fifteen years old, I thought it would be the perfect time for a reminder. Besides, this is a science class. We will be handling fire and chemicals in this course so it's best to be prepared. Now, thanks to Ms. Rei and Asuka, and Mr. Shinji, Toji, and Kaworu, they brought in some old newspapers to demonstrate that paper can be set on fire." The sensei went over to the pile of newspapers and threw one into the bonfire and it burned all the way through. "As you can see, paper can be set on fire. Any questions? Good. The point of this lesson was never to play with fire. It can harm you."
"Excuse me, sensei?" asked another teacher who came from inside the school. It was Mrs. Otonashi, the assistant principal.
"Can I help you, Mrs. Otonashi?" said the science teacher.
"Yes, are Shinji Ikari, Asuka Souryu Rei Ayanami, Toji Suzuhara, and Kaworu Nagisa present?"
"Yes, they are."
"The drama director needs to see them for a few minutes."
"Yes, yes. OK you five, and hurry back or you'll miss how to put out fires without water which I highly recommend not to do."
"I'm very sorry to drag you five out of class like this, but I have very important news to tell you. I'm afraid that we need to take Kaworu and Shinji out of the band for tonight's performance. I just received info that the girl who played Hester Prynne and the boy who played Reverend Dimmesdale just decided to leave. The girl has the chicken pocks, and the boy was just getting sick of it, so some parts are going to be changed to different people."
"So, me and Kaworu won't be playing in the orchestra?" Shinji wondered with sadness.
"Sadly, no, Shinji," said the director. "Instead, here are the new roles. Rei, you will be Hester. Shinji, you will be Dimmesdale. Toji, you will be Chillingsworth, and Kaworu you will be the Governor Winthrop. I hope you all payed attention during the rehearsals."
