A/N:I don't own Neon Genesis Evangelion.

It's not a dream.

The alarm clock started ringing.

Shinji woke up for the first time in many years,smiling.He never woke up happy.because of Kaworu he woke up most of the times,well...scared.

But now,there remembering her hug , her words,her scent...He never felt happier.

Flashback

They stayed in each others arms for a while.He didn't want to let her go anymore.he never felt so peaceful.She had no idea how much she meant to him.How much he dreamed about this moment in the past 4 years.

"Ika-Shinji?"-she looked at his eyes and he looked gently at her.

"Yes, Rei?"- she looked down , like trying to make up what to say to him.And if she should say it.

"I missed you too."- she had tears on her eyes, but he didn't notice.He smiled and kissed her forhead and rested his head on her shoulder.

"I...I...need to...arrange your bedroom."-she said blushing slightly and went to the guest room.

End of Flashback

How she had changed.She actually blushed and hugged him back!That was amazing!I mean before the third Impact she would barely smile and now she was even getting embarassed!He was afraid of opening his eyes to find out that he wans't in her house.That it was all a dream.

But when he opened his eyes he saw a very beautifull blue haired woman , dressed into a blue baby doll, that almost made Shinji have a nose bleed.He smiled at her.The expression of her face softened.How long had she been there?And why?

"Good morning...Shinji."-she greeted.'It isn't a dream after all.'

"Morning Rei.It's very nice to wake up and see you."-he said before even thinking of what he was saying.She blushed.No one ever made her blush.Only him.

"You embarass me."- she said and looked down.He laughed a little, feeling now, after the chock, very comfortable around her presence.

"Shinji?"

"Yes?"- he said observing her.

Don't you have to go to work?"- she asked looking a little confused.

"OMG!I'm late!I'm so late!"-He got of the bed quickly forgetting that he was only in his underwear muttering a quick apology.

Rei observed him looking quite amused.She smiled slightly but he did not notice, since he was to woried about being late.So, she went to the kitchen to prepare his breakfast.

A few minutes later:

"God I'm so late!My boss is going to kill me!i don't even know where the office is!"-he seemed pretty stressed.

"Shinji?"- Rei politely called him.

"...where are my papers!This is not going to-"shinji continued to talk not noticing Rei's presence.

"Shinji."- Rei continued.

"...work, I still have to call a cab!"-he went to the phone.

"SHINJI!"-he stopped.'Wow.Powerfull voice'

"Sorry Rei.I just get very stressed when I am late."- he apologized.

"My driver will take you wherever you want, so no need to call a cab.And...I made you breakfast."-she said pointing to various kinds of food.

"You did this for me?"- he asked looking softly at her.

"Yes."-she looked down, not knowing if she was approved.He smiled.

"Thanks Rei."-he said and kissed her forhead.She blushed again.'How cute!'-"Unfortunaly I don't have much time to eat with you, and I have both hands ocupied ,so I can't really ea-"- she put a toast with strawberry jelly on his mouth.

"You are late and my driver is waiting."- she smiled softly, almost unoticeable.But he notice.He tried to say thank you but the toast almost fell from his mouth so he just left.

In the car going to work how funny the situation was.Yesterday, he found out that she was alive, and today she was making his breakfast.Not that he was complaining not at all.He was happy.Happy that the connection that they had is still alive.

'Finally, the day is over.'-Shinji thought to himself as soon as he sat on Rei's couchwaiting for dinner.Work had been tiring,and coming back..."home" was all he thought about the whole day.

But to end his comfort the phone rang.Andunfortunaly to him, he answered.

"Hello?"- he said not noticing the fact that he didn't live there.

"I knew it!You are already answering the phone in her house!What are you doing with my sis man!"- Kaworu laughed on the other side.

"WHAT!You!The moment I get back to...Wait..."-'Sis?'-"Sis?Like sister?"-Kaworu was Rei brother?

"Yes, Rei and I are brother and sister.What a relief right?"- Kaworu said sarcastically.

"Don't even tell m-Hey, don trick me!"- Shinji didn't wan to admit but yes it was a relief.He didn't want his best friend to be dating the girl he had been wishing to see for so long.

"I got you!You thought I was her boyfriend?C'mon I would never date the woman you love!"-he said seriously.-"Anyway,Asuka and Mana want to talk to you.Don't worry I didn't tell them where you are or who you are with."-he said and soon he heard two girls yelling at him and felt tired.100 days of work wasn't as much tiring.

After about 1 hour Shinji hung up the phone.Rei was worried.During the conversation he expressed so many bad feelings , and now he looked a mix of sad and angry.

After he hung up he went to his room , he did not eat, he did not speak with her.What had she done wrong?

She decided that the best was to call Kaworu.Her brother always knew how to calm her.

"Rei, Rei calm down...It's not your fault.He gets like these when Asuka and Mana fight with him.He gest like these ever since they dated."-Kaworu said while trying to calm down his sister, who didn't know why Shinji got so mad.

"Dated?How can someone you decide to have a relationship with,hurt you so bad?"- she didn't get it.She always thought relationships were for people that loved it each other.

"Well I guess now you understand why I was so desesperate to make you come to America."-she got confused.That's why he said that Shinji missed her?

"What would I be able to do for him?"-'Nothing.'- she thought to herself.

"More than you can understand.You and Shinji have a certain connection.Your presence would have been enough.After all you saved him twice and he saved you once.You complete each other."-he said trying to make her understand-"And he needed a friend.He passed trough so much pain with these girls.When he needed help they pushed him down.I wasn't enough.I couldn't help him Rei."

"I don't understand."-'what happened that could hurt him so much?'

"I will tell you then, what happened with him in the past 4 years..."
