Chapter 3: Asuka's Back!

"A-Asuka" Shinji trembled as the gap between their faces got smaller and smaller. His face was as red as ever.

"Shinji, I need you… prove to me that I exist." Asuka brushed her hand against Shinji's shirt. He can't avoid it, the girl in front of her was very irresistible. And it wasn't just some girl, it was Asuka.

"Asuka I know what you've gone through but-" He was cut off by Asuka's soft kiss. It only took a minute but for him it was forever. It was the best moment he had.

Asuka sat between his legs. "Do it, Shinji. I know you want this. I want this, too. Help out in this one." She motioned him to take off her top.

Shinji swallowed. "Asuka I-I can't."

"You've always been a coward. I should have known. Now you have to prove me two things. First, that I exist. Second, that you're not a coward." She teased.

"I-I'll prove it." He swallowed again.

"Don't say it, show it."

He slowly reached for the bottom of her top with his shaking hands. Asuka closed her eyes in relief. As soon as he touched it, he slowly pulled it up, trying not to hurt her injured arm. Asuka lifted both her arms so that he can completely take her top off. He gently dropped it on the floor. He gasped, seeing her only with her red lacy bra. She smiled at him. 'Beautful…' he thought. 'Haven't seen her smile like this. Is she okay now?'

"You're good, Shinji." Asuka crawled on top of him. He smiled but still shy.

"Th-thanks." He replied.

She shook her head then reached for his shirt and took it off. He was now topless. She loved his thin and warm body. She leaned forward for another kiss. This time, it was passionate. Shinji took one of his arms to her red, long hair. The other hand placed firmly on her back. Asuka giggled a little. She knew he gave in.

At Sukishiro restaurant

"Ah, that meal was totally great!" Toji exclaimed, patting his stomach. Hikari was laughing at him.

"Oh, Toji. I love the way you eat." Hikari said.

"You do?" Toji blushed while laughing and scratching his head.

'I can't believe I just said that! Stupid me…' Hikari thought, blushing.

"Umm… hey, Hikari. I wanted to give you something."

"What is it, Toji?" Hikari got very excited.

"Here." Toji handed her a box wrapped in a blue and yellow striped paper.

"How wonderful. A gift for our first date!" She shouted, rushing over to his seat and giving him a tight hug. Toji's face is now really red.

"I… I think you should open it first before you give comments."

Hikari nodded and quickly opened her gift. It revealed a blue box. She paused then looked at him. "Are you… you know…. courting me?"

"Umm… looks like it."

Hikari nodded and continued on her gift.

After a few seconds…

SMACK!

"Toji!" Hikari slapped him. He was embarrassed. Hikari, realizing how embarrassed he was, frowned and touched his face gently. "Uh, I'm so sorry… I was just surprised. A man, giving me a…. a…. bra."

Toji smiled. "I know. You like it." His smile widened. " I would like you to wear that on our honey moon after we get married. Hehehe…"

"You're a sick pervert, Toji! This is over! We'll never marry each other!" Hikari turned away from Toji and whispered, "I want to go home."

"Okay." He stood up and led Hikari to the door and walked her home.

At Misato's apartment

Toji opened the door. 'Hey, what a mess!' he thought. 'I wonder what evil girl did to him.' Toji continued examining the apartment. Then he came to a stop in front of Asuka's room. He saw Asuka's shirt as well as Shinji's on the floor.

'What the-!' he knelt on the floor. "As far as I remember, this was what I saw them wearing this day. Oh, what did that evil girl did to him?" Toji entered Asuka's room. It was a total mess. He looked at the bed and there, he saw the two sleeping together. Asuka on Shinji's bare chest while his arms wrapped around her.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The two woke up surprised to see Toji. Asuka grabbed the blanket and covered herself with it. Shinji blushed then scratched his head.

"What's up, goof face?" Asuka mocked. "Gee… you scream hell like a sissy girl."

"What – have- you- done!" He replied. "Hold on," Toji was gaining composure. "Did- did the evil girl just talk?"

"Yeah I did, you idiot!"

"Darn! My life's going to be miserable!"

"Put off your drama, Toji!"

"Stop it now, you two," Shinji was still blushing as he stood up. "I'll prepare our dinner tonight. And oh," he faced Toji. "How did Hikari react on your very special and wonderful gift, Toji?"

Toji shook his head in despair. "Tonight's not my lucky night, my friend."

"What! She dated you?" Asuka shouted with eyes wide open.

"Yeah, she did." Toji grinned.

Asuka's mouth fell open. "Never mind. I'm not the one who's going to regret it at the end anyways."

"What did you say? You evil girl!"

"I'll shut myself up only if you scream like a sissy girl…" She mocked.

"Grrr! I'm going to vanquish you! You evil girl!"

"Come on everyone. Let's just eat." Shinji suggested.

"Thank my stomach, evil girl or I might have just killed you."

"Toji!" Shinji said.

Suddenly, a fist hit Toji on the face which made him trip over.

"OOOUUCCHH!"

"Go scream, goof face!" Asuka grabbed Shinji's arm and dragged him to the table.

"God, my mortal enemy is back," Toji said as he stood up, still in pain, but still in the mood to eat.
