"I choose my duty. I'm sorry, my Shinji."

By the time Shinji was done with his bath, Kaworu had already left the house for the young fey could not find his young lover anywhere. Shinji gulped down his cup of milk, finished his plate of pancakes and did the dishes in record time.

He was about to put on his shoes when he saw a note reading: Ne Shinji-kun, I will love you now and forever.

Shinji smiled at the thought of Kaworu, but he was still upset about Kaworu leaving for Nerv without waiting for him. He made a metal note to ask his pale lover why he did that.

Standing in front of the red Eva, Kaworu kept staring at it. He could not bear to kill Shinji. But he wanted to free his brothers and sisters from the curse of being bounded to their missions. He was about to activate Unit 02 when…

"Kaworu-kun!"

Kaworu turned to find a familiar face looking angrily at him. He heart started to race. Did Shinji found out about him being an angel?

But before Kaworu could do anything, the next thing he knew was that Shinji was already right in front of him, staring straight into his eyes.

"Ne why did you left the house without me!" Shinji asked trying to sound angry.

Kaworu signed and replied, "I had a meeting with Doctor Akagi."

Shinji was taken aback at the statement. Damn what a time to make a mistake.

Kaworu saw the sudden change in expression of his koi and took Shinji into his embrace. "It's alright, I know you are just worried about me. Sa…let's go and get a drink shall we?"

Shinji only nodded for this time he really made a big mistake in mistaking Kaworu.

Kaworu was now having second thought about his mission. Looking over at his young lover again, Kaworu knew that even if he and his brothers and sisters were able to be alive once again, life for him would not have any meaning without Shinji.

Kaworu could survive and live just like a normal human being if he wanted to and he was so muddled in thought that he had not noticed Shinji had walked up to him from behind and hugged him tightly.

"I will never let you go Kaworu."

Now that did it. Kaworu felt tears well up in his eyes again. How could he bear to hurt Shinji? No. He could not. 'I am sorry my brother and sisters, but I have chosen to be and live as a lilim. Life would mean nothing without my koi, and I hope you understand.' Kaworu prayed in his heart for his siblings, the other angels, before turning around and embracing Shinji.

"I now know what is my choice."

Shinji was puzzled by Kaworu's statement by he did not care. He loved Kaworu and he was not going to let him go, ever. He gave Kaworu another reassuring squeeze, before nuzzling his head into Kaworu's neck.

Kaworu, who was sobbing, managed to utter, "I have finally chosen you over my duty, my koi. I will never let you go and you will b forever mine."

Upon saying the last sentence, Kaworu pulled Shinji into another deep kiss, pouring all his feeling into the kiss and marking Shinji as his and no one else's.

Outside by the window, the two lovebirds did not seem to notice Maya and Misato watching.

"Eh…Misato-san I think we should lave them along ne?" Maya finally managed to utter before fleeing back, flushing from head to toe.

Misato on the other hand could only smile as she finally knew that Shinji was happy.
