Angelic love

Chapter twelve: School day

Shinji walked with Asuka and Hikari on there way to school. Hikari had her had resting on Asuka's shoulder while they walked and held her hand. Shinji wondered what it would be like if he and Rei did the same and he smiled inwardly to himself. He was in a rush to see her and was glad that he had school.

"So Shinji, are you in a rush to see Rei?" asked Asuka. He wanted to surprise her so he answered truthfully.

"Yeah" he blushed slightly.

"Typical baka Shinji" Asuka replied.

"I think it's cute" Hikari commented. She looked at Shinji and gave him a reassuring smile. Asuka agreed with her.

"You two might want to protect yourselves, you know what will happen once Touji and Kensuke see you and find out what's going on" Shinji warned.

"Those two stooges are no match for me!" the German gloated. " if they try anything I just have to beat them down"

"That's my Asuka" the class rep said and they stopped for a second and enjoyed a quick kiss.

Meanwhile Rei was already in class. She sat and stared out the window as usual and was bust thinking. She wondered what it would be like to be attacked by an angel again and to have Shinji save her. She blushed slightly as she though even more. She pictured herself wounded and in Shinji's arms as he cradled her and carried her away. He would whisper to her that everything was going to be okay and she would her love for him flow freely as she gathered what strength she had and kissed him on the cheek. She knew that if anyone could truly ever protect her then it would be him.

She had to watch herself, she snapped out of her day dream as she heard the words.

"Hi, Rei" coming from Shinji's mouth.

"Hello, Shinji" she said in her quiet tone but her voice carried emotion, a loving emotion that showed that she trusted him. He sat down at his desk. Immediately he was attacked by Kensuke and Touji.

"So, Shinji what was that all about?" asked Touji.

"Yeah, you and Rei seem to be really good friends" Kensuke commented.

"Well we have been spending a lot of time togther and she has told me that she thinks of me as her friend" he explained.

"We always knew you had a thing for Rei!" Touji exclaimed. Shinji blushed but couldn't think of any thing to say since it was the truth. The rest of the day was filled with Kensuke and Touji teasing him about how he liked Rei but after the final bell rung both there jaws fell to the floor as they were leaving.

Asuka ran for Hikari and the German girl was embraced lovingly by the brunette.

"Hikari!" Asuka said childish like.

"Asuka!" she replied and they laughed a little and kissed one another deeply.

"AND HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Touji was stunned.

"It makes sense if you think about it, they are best friends" Kensuke said after being surprised himself, it seemed to Shinji that he always thought logically.

"You two are a bunch of hentai bakas!" Asuka said fiercely.

"So that's why you seem so masculine" Touji said and the next thing that was heard was the sound of fist hitting flesh as Asuka's fist made contact with Touji's face.

"Yeah, you should watch it Touji, Asuka can be really feminine" Hikari looked at Asuka and whispered to her. "Especially in bed" and Asuka giggled.

"Naughty little minx" and they kissed again. And held hands while they walked home.

"Rei...could I walk with you?" Shinji was fearful that she heard some of the comments about him being in love with her.

"Yes" she replied. A constant blush was on her face the whole time and they spoke not a word, it was a comfortable silence.

"Goodbye Rei, I hope you have a nice day" he told her.

"Thank you Shinji, may you have nice day as well" and she entered her apartment.

"Why does my heart beat so fast and why can't I stop blushing...Why do I feels as if I am going to cry?" the red eyed girl thought to herself. "Do I wish to become one with him?" she lay on her bed and reflected upon their relationship. She felt the cold tears run down her porcelain face.

AU: Sorry for the short chapter, the next one will be the last, as some of you may I was planning to take a break from writing but I re-watched EoE and may write a S/R story that takes place after that and if I do I hope to bring back many long gone characters COUGH COUGH Yui COUGH COUGH
