Chapter three: A Day at the Park
Rei felt the touch of a warm hand caress her cheek as she slept and she slowly opened her crimson eyes to see Shinji standing over her.
"Good morning, Rei" Shinji greeted.
"Good morning, Shinji" said Rei in reply with a noticeable smile and a soft hue of pinkness in her cheeks. She got up and sat on the bed.
"Your clothes are in the bathroom if you would like to change" said the third child.
"Thank you" said the first child and she got up and made her way to the bathroom. She easily spotted her school uniform and changed quickly.
"Hey, Rei after breakfast I was wondering would you like to go to the park?" asked the boy franticly.
"The Sakura trees should look really beautiful around this time" he added.
"That would be nice, yes I will go with you" said Rei. Shinji could have sworn that her voice had more personality in it now and he was able to get her to smile almost just by talking to her.
"Has the second child moved away?" asked Rei.
"Oh, no she just stayed the night with Hikari" answered Shinji. They left the room and went to the kitchen. Shinji began work on breakfast and Rei sat down at the table with Misato who was busy with her morning beer.
"So Rei is Shinji a good kisser?" asked the woman.
"I wouldn't know he has not kissed me" answered Rei.
"Shame on you Shinji, you haven't kissed Rei yet what kind of boyfriend are you trying to be?" scolded Misato.
"Ah, I'm not her boyfriend!" Shinji said in protest.
"We're just friends!" he added. Misato just glared at him and took another sip of beer.
"Here you go, Rei" said the boy placing a plate of toast, rice and tea in front of her.
"Thank you" said the crimson eyed girl. Shinji handed Misato a plate and finally Shinji sat down with his and they ate.
"Shinji……he is my friend" thought Rei as she ate.
"Does my heart wish to become one with Shinji?" she questioned. As she ate a small smile appeared on her face.
"Does he desire to become one with me?" questioned the blue haired girl. Rei's thoughts were quickly interrupted as the sound of a door closing rang through her head.
"I'm home" called a familiar voice.
"WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?" exclaimed Asuka in shock.
"She spent the night" explained Misato.
"SHE SPENT THE NIGHT?" Asuka asked.
"Shinji invited her for dinner yesterday and it ended up storming and she had to stay the night" said the purple haired drunk.
"She didn't sleep in my bed did she?" asked the German girl.
"I slept with Shinji" Rei's quiet voice rung out.
"YOU SLEPT WITH SHINJI!" Asuka couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"We didn't have sex or anything like that!" Shinji said in his and Rei's defense.
"I think we should get going Rei" said Shinji.
"Very well" said the pale skinned angel.
"Were are you going?" asked Asuka.
"We're going to the park" answered Shinji and with that they left.
"THANKS FOR INVITING ME!" Asuka scorned.
"Look out Rei there's a puddle" said Shinji and he held out his hand for Rei, she placed her hand into his. They didn't even notice that their hands were still joined as they walked.
"It's a very nice day" Shinji commented.
"Yes the weather is very fair" said Rei.
"Has my father visited you lately?" asked the third.
"No, he does not visit me unless its work related, I am only valuable to the Commander as a pilot, nothing else" said the first.
"My father doesn't care about anyone, he just uses us all" Shinji told her.
"I'll never hurt you like that Rei" Shinji added and when she heard that he face grew a deep red and her heart fluttered.
"Thank you, I value are trust" said the blue haired beauty and a big smile came upon her face.
"Rei do you remember when we first met?" he asked.
"Yes" she answered.
"My father was going to make you pilot, hearing your screams and cries I knew that I couldn't let you pilot" he told her.
"You have always seemed to be a very caring person" she admitted.
"I'm glad that you smile when I'm around" said the boy.
"It's because you make me feel happy" she admitted again.
"I really treasure are friendship" said the blue eyed boy. Rei just looked at him, smiled and nodded. They finally arrived at the park and sat down on a bench.
The Sakura petals fell from the trees and drifted onto a nearby lake.
"Look how beautiful the lake looks!" Shinji exclaimed.
"It's very pretty" Rei commented. Shinji could hear some of the passing people making remarks on Shinji and Rei being boyfriend and girlfriend but instead of being embarrassed Shinji just took in the people's comments.
After sitting and talking for a bit they decided to go get some lunch.
"I wonder if my father will mind that you and I are spending time together?" questioned Shinji.
"He shouldn't your friendship will not affect my ability to pilot" said Rei. They ordered some food. Rei of course ordered a salad and Shinji ordered a sandwich.
"Hey, Rei have you ever laughed?" he asked her.
"No, humor is an unknown emotion to me" she answered. Shinji made a mental note of that and continued eating.
"Here is your bill" said the waiter.
"I can pay my half" said Rei.
"No, I will pay for everything, don't worry about it" he told her.
"If you insist" she replied. After paying the bill Shinji walked her home.
"I guess I will see you tomorrow, at Nerv" said Shinji.
"I look forward in seeing you as well" said Rei and as the door closed they both smiled.
"So you and Wondergirl seem to be getting pretty friendly" said Asuka.
"She really likes you" she added.
"She does?" he asked.
"Yeah, she was looking at you during Gym class the other day, looks like Rei likes you a lot more than your father" said the redhead.
"I hope so" said the boy.
"Shinji and Rei sitting in a tree K, I, S, S, I, N, G, first comes love then comes marriage then comes Shinji with a baby carriage!" Asuka sang. Shinji face grew red but he took it all as a good hearted joke and began to think about what to cook for dinner.
"Looks like Misato might become a god mother!" Asuka said.
"Oh, Shinji what would name your baby?" asked Misato in a cheeky way.
"Uh, I don't want kids right now!" he tried to defend himself.
"I don't even know if she was made with reproductive organs!" he added.
"Ewwww, looks like Shinji wants to know about Rei's reproductive organs, I knew he was a baka hentai!" cried Asuka.
"That's not what I meant!" he kept trying to defend himself but it was to no use. He sighed as he stood at the stove with a pot of boiling water. He desperately wanted the day to end and the next day to begin just so he could see Rei again.
