Hey all! Welcome to this chapter. To save confusion because there will be some if i don't explain. This whole chapter is done in Shinji's point of view. So I think that is the confusing part out of the way. Thankies to those who reviewed this story and a big thanks to jayhay who proof read it for me at school. Cheers.
Disclaimer: I don't own NGE or any other anime but if i did there probably would be some subtle changes.
Lying on my bed it was late at night. I was staring at that ceiling. So blank and boring that it was depressing. Recently this boy, Kaworu Nagisa, joined the Evangelion team with Ayanami, Asuka and me. Some how there is a strange aura around him. He is so quiet yet we are all edgy about him. Perhaps this is what makes him so different from the rest of us who either hides behind erected barriers or lashes out at the people that love us the most.
Where did he come from? The fifth child, here to replace Toji. They took Toji and made him a pilot and now he is missing a leg and father told me to kill him when he knew that I couldn't! What an inconsiderate shell of a man. His own son hates his very presence.
Kaworu…how easily it rolls off the tongue.
"Hey Ikari! Stop day dreaming and do some work for once!" that annoying shout only meant one thing at this time of day. Asuka was watching me staring into oblivion when I should really be looking at my work.
"Why do you yell when he only sits 2 seats ahead? The whole class does not need to hear your squabble," so wise and soothing, I can just see his red eyes looking at the back of my head. Yet I can feel Asuka's boring themselves into my brain trying to figure out what I will do.
"Sorry Asuka, I really was paying attention," I heard myself say.
"Don't apologise you stupid git! Why do you always apologise when you know that it only annoys the rest of us!"
"You sound like a married couple squabbling," Toji remarked from his seat at the back of the classroom.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY SUZUHARA?" she was really pissed off now.
"You heard me, or do you want me to explain? Okay, you and Shinji-"
"I know what you said! Do you want me to go over there and beat you to a bloody pulp?" Asuka was now starting to stand up.
Hikari, the class rep, stood up, "Asuka sit down please. Suzahara, you can help me clean up after class. Nagisa, next time try not to add fuel for the fire. She gets really fired up some days."
"Kaworu, is there something that you know that you aren't telling us?" I asked as I watched Asuka return to her seat. He smiled and said nothing else as the teacher was talking about the Australian involvement in World War I and II.
What a funny name. Oh well, it doesn't effect me. I just wish that-
"SHINJI DO YOUR WORK!" –she would shut up.
"Yes Asuka," I sighed. Aida was laughing at me behind my back. How embarrassing to have her yell at me during class so many times when the rest of us are trying to learn something new. Doesn't she know how to keep her trap shut?
Oh well, where was I…oh yes Kaworu. Perhaps he would like to go out later this afternoon after quartet practice and going to NERV. Stupid crappy organisation of grumpy old men and good-looking women. Why was I dragged into that mess? Who cares, I won't live much longer by the look of it.
"YEAH! Lunch time!" Toji could be heard above any thoughts by the sound of it. Would Kaworu join me for lunch today then? Maybe I should ask him before he leaves and disappears like he normally does.
"Kaworu, wait up!" I called as he went out the door. He stopped and turned around to face me. Wow how gorgeous- what the heck am I on about? "Would you like to have lunch with me today instead of by yourself?"
I looked into his beautiful red eyes hopefully. "Shinji Ikari…I would love to have my lunch with you today. Where would you like to sit?" WOW, he said yes…what does that mean?
"H-How about under that big oak tree? It is always nice and cool under it. I normally sit there by myself," I started to ramble. He laughed at me. Turning toward him in confusion, I didn't know what to do. Kaworu looked me in the eyes.
Walking off, he turned, "Well are you going to come have lunch with me or are you going to stand there like a stunned mullet?" That shocked me. My mouth must have dropped open as it soon felt as parched as paper. I quickly ran after the silver haired teen that was already at the edge of the building.
Sitting down, I found that I couldn't speak. Looking down I started to unpack my lunch and eat.
"Shinji, you know our trip to the movies? Did you enjoy going with me? Because I got a feeling that you didn't want to be seen going to the movies with me," he was quiet and that usually meant that the person was not happy about something. I stared down at my lunch again.
"Kaworu…I-I really enjoyed going to the movies with you. I really did I am sorry that you got that impression from me," I looked up at him; he was studying his sandwich that he was holding. It looked as if it was peanut butter. Wouldn't I like to smear- No Shinji, bad Shinji. Stay away from those nasty little thoughts!
I chuckled to myself, "What do you find so amusing?" He was smiling and slowly edging closer. "Please do tell me. For I wish to know what my petal laughs at, I pray do tell." His petal? What the.
"P-p-p-petal?" I could feel my face heating up; "uh…I was laughing at the thoughts that were running through my head. You wouldn't want to know what they were." I shook my head at the last sentence. Once again I turned my face away from his in embarrassment. What was the matter with me today?
"Ah yes my petal. I would love to know the thoughts that cloud your mind when you look at someone or something that makes you go red. It would be nothing but an honour," an honour to hear something from me? He should know what I am thinking.
Well, I was thinking about peanut butter and smearing it all down your sexy body then slowly licking it off till you couldn't stand the feeling anymore! Taking a deep breath, I pushed those thoughts out of my head, "I was thinking of-of." I leant forward and kissed him. It was the only thing that I could do.
Letting my lips lingered on his, I could feel him press against my own. His tongue rolled against my lips. Parting them, I felt his tongue find mine lying in wait. Where did this come from? Is this what has been missing from my life? My hands went into his hair pushing on him gently as to bring him deeper into the kiss.
Pulling back, I whimpered at him wanting more, "Hmm, so that is what was really lurking on that hidden mind. Perhaps I should find out more of this little rubrics cube I have started playing with." Kaworu leant in and started another kiss. Hmm, Kaworu. A small smile crossed my lips.
Pulling me closer to him, Kaworu rested against the trunk of the tree. My hands cupped the back of his head making sure that it was not being pushed into the tree under the force that I was applying to his lips. His own arms had wrapped around my back and were supporting me.
This time I pulled back, "I am very sorry if that was a bit blunt but what I was thinking was much worse. So please forgive Kaworu-koi." I pushed my tongue passed his lips searching the cavity that was his mouth. He groaned quietly, but I just let my instincts run.
"SHINJI IKARI WHERE ARE YOU! Uh- stupid idiota!" came the call. I pulled back so quickly that I landed in Nagisa's lap. Opening my eyes, I found that I had landed looking right at his crotch. I turned a deep scarlet, but I couldn't stop looking.
"Shinji, are you alright? You just turned a shade of red that I have never seen before," his voice was so sweet and calm. Obviously he wasn't embarrassed that I was looking directly at his groin, but hell I was.
Getting up quickly, my hand slipped, causing me to land exactly where I started. "I-I am so sorry koi, but I am so embarrassed that I was staring at…well, I think you know what I was looking at," I spoke out from my lovely position. Rolling over, I found myself looking up at his angelically carved face. How could someone look so handsome?
"Ikari get out of his lap! You don't know what people would think if they saw you like that!" she had found me, "it is time for us to go to NERV. Might as well bring the fifth child since he is a pilot. Just don't let me catch you like that again. It gives me the creeps."
Sitting up, I leant into his chest. So warm and comforting. Closing my eyes, I concentrated on listening to his steady heartbeat through his shirt. Over that he was humming another Beethoven piece, Symphony No. 9. Drifting off in a light slumber, I felt him wrap a warm arm around my shoulders and embrace me.
Pushing back my fringe, I could feel his warm breath on my face, "We need to move Shinji, or Sohryu will be riding up our backs if we are late again. That would mean twice she would have done that to us."
"I don't care, as long as I am with you Kaworu Nagisa." He looked down at me. Smiling, I flashed my teeth quickly before pulling away from his warm body. Standing up, I held out my hand, he grasped it strongly and I pulled him up. The force with which I pulled him up at flung him straight at me and into my arms. Seizing the moment, he kissed me again before letting me go.
Staring at his back as he walked away, I had let my mouth gape open. Then came that piercing shout again, "SHINJI! GET YOUR ARSE HERE NOW!" How I hated that shout. It is so screechy and angry. But now he knows, and I…What do I really feel? Love, compassion, hate or fear? Can I trust this strange boy with his soft hands and…Shinji no dirty thoughts! The last thing I want happening is…I hate thermal expansion.
So just who is this Kaworu Nagisa that has stolen my heart?
Please review, because I don't know if you are enjoying my story. Plus it helps me out if I want to change stuff.
