Breathing in deeply, I felt the LCL fill my lungs. I felt as though I was drowning in it. Coughing slightly, the Eva kicked into gear. Closing my eyes, the power of the Eva throbbed under me. So much power coursed through this creature and it was at my fingertips, much like my friend.
"We all in? Okay, okay! Now lets get started. Shinji relax, you're not fighting today," Misato said over the com channel. Even though he was in his Eva, I could hear his quickened breathing. Shaking my head to myself, I breathed in deeply and relaxed.
"Yes Misato," he was so obedient around her and the other people in this stupid complex. Shinji was quiet and shut off from everyone but me. Should I feel special since I have earned his respect and inner thoughts? I ponder that thought for a little while.
"Okay pilots, this test is over for today. Make sure you sleep well okay, okay," she was too cheery that Misato Katsuragi. How did my petal put up with it? I need coffee.
Around me, the LCL was draining quickly and I coughed it out of my lungs. Once again, the taste of blood was left in my mouth. One of the biggest downfalls of the air-rated liquid, it smelt and tasted like blood. Getting up, I moved out of the entry plug and waited for him.
We were both drenched, but since my suit was a dark colour, it wasn't effected much. In Shinji's case, it was lined with some white, making it go semi transparent exposing his slim arms. Smiling, I grabbed his hand and ran to the changing rooms.
"Kaworu do we have to run so fast? I feel rather tired now," slowing down I turned around to face him. Unfortunately, he was falling asleep on the spot. Smiling softly, I picked him up and ran with him in my arms. Shinji's mouth fell open, but he clung to my neck.
"We have to get there now petal, no time's to be wasted. Shinji, don't fall asleep yet," I said as I reached my intended area. Putting him down softly, he stood up and walked in. Yawning, he stretched his back. From the door, I heard multiple discs and vertebrae cracking, "Ow, that never happens."
Walking over to my locker, I opened it and started to crawl out of my plug suit. Behind me, I could hear him fighting with his. As easy and delicately he pulled it on, he struggled to pull it off. Too much moist in between him and his suit. Pulling on my underwear and pants, I walked over to him.
"Do you need a hand? You're fighting with it again Ikari," I grabbed the top of his suit and carefully twisted it off his torso. His face was a shade of red. This I still couldn't figure out why he did it. Standing up straight again, I picked up Shinji's shirt and unfolded it. Letting him slip his arms in, he was like a little child, only not so little.
Pulling it around to the front, I did up the buttons and stared at him, "Thanks Kaworu…yawn…I don't know what I would do without you sometimes." I smiled weakly and went back to my own locker. With me not having a shirt on, I could feel Shinji's eyes roaming over my torso. At this I smiled and found my shirt. I didn't care as much as he did.
"Shinji, you need to get into some dry pants you know. Wearing those won't do much for your health I don't think," I smirked as I looked at him. Standing there with his eyes half shut, he nodded in acknowledgment and stripped down to his skin. Composing myself enough, I looked over his naked bottom half.
Moving over to him, I grabbed him around the waist. He breathed in quickly. Kissing his neck softly, he melted into my arms. In his hands were his boxers and pants. As he pulled on his boxers and pants, I found that my open shirt was tucked in at the back. This exposed my chest and stomach as I pressed myself onto his chest.
"Perhaps we could go out tonight Shinji. That movie can be tonight as we don't have school tomorrow because of our testing again," I spoke in between light kisses that I placed on his neck and lips. His hands were in my hair slowly massaging my scalp.
"Perhaps, but what about Misato and Asuka? You may not have to deal with them, but I do," he kissed me on the lips, "they both have to know where I'm at night. I guess it's just a chick thing."
I pulled back slightly, "Don't keep me waiting at the theatre koi. About six then?" I looked into his eyes. They were a soft brown and they held fear. Fear of what? Shaking my head, he noticed the slight movement.
Pulling me closer to him, he whispered, "Hmm, you seem to smell good even after being drenched in LCL. How's that possible?" The teen was falling asleep in my arms. Picking him up and placing him on the bench, I looked down his body. It was so relaxed and hassle free.
Lying beside him on the bench, I slowly stroked his stomach. His muscles twitched under the touch, making me smile. Pulling myself closer to his head, I kissed his neck. Kissing it again, I moved up toward his face. Shinji's body was responsive, even if his mind wasn't.
"Shinji, are you awake still?" I whispered to him. His eyes were shut, but he smiled sweetly.
"Yeah, but I mightn't be for long," he sat up and straddled the seat. Now it was the opposite of earlier, my head was resting next to him and he was comfortable with it.
"Maybe it's time that we left this room Shinji, you need your sleep. Also I think that we'll stick to the original plan with the movies. You look so tired that I don't think you'd last the night," I said as I sat up.
He grabbed me around the middle and nuzzled into my back. "Thanks Kaworu. As much as I love being with you…yawn…I think that you maybe right about the last one," Shinji breathed into my ear. My body tingled; the feeling was what I wanted.
Getting up, I pulled my shirt around to the front, but left it undone. Who cares if they see me like this? Turning to face him, he struggled to his feet. Shaking my head, I grabbed both his and my shoes from our lockers and placed them in front of him. He smiled at the thought and pulled them on.
Standing up, he picked up his bag and flung it over his shoulder. Getting up again after placing on my shoes, I pulled his shirt to the front and did it up for him. Tucking his in, I held his hand lovingly and we walked to the door.
Even if we didn't go to the movies, we still had the bus trip home to keep us occupied. That thought brought a mischievous smile to my lips that went unnoticed by the teen. He would have to find out what it was about later.
Walking out into the hall, I noticed that he still was half asleep and not realising what was happening around him. This worked in my benefit as this meant that it looked as though I was leading him by hand, which I was. Also, I held his hand out of…love? What ever it was, it had a warm feeling attached to it.
"See you tomorrow Kaworu. Is Shinji all right? You seem to be leading him," Ristuko said as she stood with us on the flat escalator thing.
"Master Ikari is just very tired that he doesn't seem to know where he is going at the moment. Other than that he is fine. I will see you tomorrow Dr Akagi," I stepped off the moving conveyer belt with Ikari in toe and went in the direction of the train station.
Taking a seat next to the door, I pulled Shinji down on my left. The seat was hard vinyl that made my backside hurt after sitting on it for half an hour. Shifting to get comfortable, Shinji had laid his head down in my lap. Obviously he was too tired to realise what he was doing. Shrugging, I ran my fingers through his hair. It was so soft.
Leaning back into the rest, I found that I might as well shut my eyes for a few minutes to recover some sort of strength so that I could go to his house, drop him off and then get back to my own. Closing them, I felt eyes staring at me.
Opening them to slits, I saw the fiery German girl looking at us. Her face was livid. Smiling inwardly I watched as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat and then get up and move to a different cabin. At this I openly smiled at the triumph of making her realise that he does mean something to her.
Closing my eyes again, I nodded off for a little while. In my light sleep, I had been lying on the cold, soft snow of the mountains. A mound of snow was in front of my face and I could hear someone laughing. Getting to my feet, I grabbed a compacted snowball and peered over the top of the mound. Just visible over the mound across from me was a pale blue beanie. It bobbed and disappeared for a couple minutes till its owner peered over the barricade. Throwing the snowball, it hit him fair and square knocking his hat to the ground.
"Hey, what was that for? You trying to start a war?" at that a snowball was thrown. It hit me in the chest, as I had stood so I could see him better.
"You're on Ikari. Take that!" another snowball was thrown at him. This time however, he had gone behind his structure and it glided over his head.
"You need to learn how to throw Kaworu!" he chided back. A snowball hit my wall of ice. I laughed to myself.
"Kaworu Nagisa and Shinji Ikari, wake up! It's not that tiring to do synch testing!" the Second Child had taken it upon herself to wake me up. She's making a fool of herself again I think.
"…Yawn…huh?" Shinji rubbed his eyes.
"Didn't you notice that you were asleep Shinji? On his lap for that?" Looking from Asuka to me, he blushed. Closing the slits that were my eyes, I ignored the German.
"No, and no. It's comfy here," I opened my eyes again to look down at him. A cute smile crossed his face. I felt heat radiate from my cheeks.
"What's with the blushing today? First you Third Child, now the Fifth Child has gone and done it! STOP IT NOW!" the Second Child yelled across the carriage. Everyone on the train turned to look at her. Misato was right down the end.
"Asuka, chill out," Katsuragi could be heard.
"But Misato, Shinji and Kaworu are like twins today. Both were late, waited for each other and now they are basically sitting on top of each other," Asuka was whining now. I shook my head and closed my eyes again.
"Kaworu, stay with me please? Asuka will rip my throat out otherwise," he laughed slightly, "where did you come from Kaworu?" Touching his head with my hand I said nothing for a few minutes.
"Shinji, I'm not entirely sure at the moment. All I know is that I arrived here about a month ago," I lied; I knew where I came from. He just didn't need to know that yet. I'd rather remain that mystery guy that has made him come out of his shell.
Across from both of us, sitting like she had a straight backbone was Rei Ayanami. Burnt crimson eyes stared at me, I could feel them. She knew me for what I was, the end. Rei always followed me around the complex like a shadow follows its owner.
"You seem to only bring more trouble Nagisa," her voice was as quiet and strong as always. I noticed that I was looking into her eyes when she said it. Ayanami's face was blank, unreadable.
"Only you see that Ayanami. In fact, I'm here to settle it down."
"What are you?" her eyes flashed with unforetold knowledge.
I smiled, "Only God knows that."
