Disclaimer: I know some people find the Touji/ Rei pairing odd. But at least I didn't put Misato and Hyuga together. One thing I'd like to clear up, Shinji and Maya have never been fully naked. Maya did suck him off on the plane and he did play with her breasts that morning. But Shinji has never seen Maya vagina and he won't unless I decide. I'm sorry if anyone is offended by any accusations I have made.
The next morning when Rei awoke her head felt like and Evangelion had self-destructed in there. Opening her eyes she found herself looking up at the roof of her room in the condo she shared with the other girls. She remembered the four beers she had drunk last night and concluded that to be the reason for her headache. What she wasn't able to decipher was how she came to be in her bed after blacking out at the barbecue dinner last night. She doubted she was ever going to drink alcohol again until she was older. A vague memory of Touji cradling her in his arms after throwing up all over Aoba came back to her, as well as how she asked him to stay with her in a pleading voice. It was when she felt a hand move slightly in her stomach that she knew he had stayed with her the whole night.
"Sleep well?" Touji whispered in her ear causing her to shiver slightly despite being comfortably warm.
Turning her head her eyes met the caring warm smile on Touji's face. "Yes I did, especially with you sleeping next to me. What happened after the barbecue?"
"You hit you head on the table and passed out, threw up on that Aoba guy and asked me to stay with you. After we came back here I was thinking of changing you into your pyjamas but Asuka would kill me if she saw your bikini on the ground and me in your bed," Touji explained kissing her delicate neck. "You did ask me to touch you once we were in bed but seeing as how you were out of it, I thought I should wait until you were sober before we did that,"
"Thank you for considering that, Touji. Since I am now clearheaded would you like to touch me?" she asked, noticing she did still have you bikini on.
"Sure, if your Ok with it I mean," her replied getting a small smile on her face.
"Hey, Rei, Touji! You two awake yet?" Misato shouted through the door. "You two better not be naked!"
"And I used to drool over Misato. Now I share Shinji's opinion. I'd better be getting back," Touji whispered giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "See you after breakfast I guess,"
"See you soon, Touji," Rei replied watching him leave the room.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Maya, why are you wearing that bikini again?" Shinji asked, watching Maya from behind as she bent over a suitcase through his video camera.
"First off: Stop pointing that camera at my butt, and second: there's nothing wrong with wearing the same bikini again. Just hurry up and get your beach towel," she replied, continuing to search for her sunscreen.
"What for?" came his next question, lowering his camera.
"We're going jet-skiing," she said, looking through another suitcase.
"Jet-skiing!" Shinji blurted disbelievingly. "I don't know to drive a jet-ski!"
"Don't worry, Shinji, I learnt how to operate one when I was in high school. All you have to do is hold on tight," she grinned.
"It's not that, Maya, I just can't swim very well," he explained looking away from her.
"Oh, Shinji. Like I said don't worry. You'll be wearing a lifejacket so if you fall off you'll stay afloat. And besides you get to put your arms around my waist," she hinted with a purr.
"Let's get going shall we?" he replied racing to find his towel.
When he agreed to go jet skiing with Maya he didn't think she'd drive like Misato would on the road. With every sharp turn she made Shinji found himself landing in the ocean. At least he was getting wet and Maya was right, his lifejacket kept him floating until he climbed back on. As he climbed back on before they headed back for a break Maya gunned the engine sending flying off just as he was sitting down. What she hadn't been prepared for was Shinji grabbing her lifejacket to steady himself, that and the fact she wasn't bracing her feet properly sent them both flying off the water craft and into the ocean. Fortunately all jet-skis were fitted with ripcords, which cut the engine if the rider fell off so they didn't have to swim far before returning to shore to have their jet ski refuelled.
"So how was your first time on a jet-ski, Shinji?" Maya asked peeling off her lifejacket.
"You were going to throw me off on purpose back there!" Shinji shouted leaving his jacket on. "I can't wait to go again!"
"Wanna go for a quick swim while we wait?" she suggested, adjusting her bikini straps.
"I told you I can't swim very well," he answered, tossing his own jacket on the jet-ski.
"So? I'll be right by your side the whole time and we won't be going very far out," she reassured sweetly.
"You're right. I guess I've been using my fear as an excuse to avoid things and it's about time I doing that," he said confidently, slowly wading into deeper water. "You coming or not?"
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Hey, Touji! Have a good time in bed with Ayanami?" Kensuke teased annoyingly, pointing his camera as the fourth child entered the men's condo living room.
"Kensuke, I'm starting to think your parents dropped you on your head more than once, when you were a baby," Touji shot back, not in the mood for the camera freak's banter.
"Oh come on man, what happened to the Touji who drooled over the very thought of seeing Misato in a swimsuit? You still haven't told me how lucky you've gotten with Ayanami since you two hooked up," Kensuke persisted, not noticing Touji's annoyance.
"Sooner or later, Mr. Aida, your curiosity is going to get you killed," Fuyutsuki said, sitting in a lounge chair near the patio door reading a newspaper.
"Come on, Touji, spill the beans already. What happened when you went to bed with Ayanami?" Kensuke asked completely ignoring Fuyutsuki's warning. "Did she take her bikini off? Did you touch her breasts? Wait, I know, you actually had sex with her didn't you? I was hoping one of us would get to home base before Shinji!"
"SHUT UP!" Touji roared grabbing Kensuke by the collar of his shirt and slamming him forcefully onto the floor. "I've had enough of your crap, Kensuke! I've had to put up with so much of your shit since we've been friends and you've just pushed me to the limit!"
"Touji Suzuhara, stop this at once!" Fuyutsuki shouted trying to pry Touji of the cowering camera freak.
Drawn by the sounds of a rough struggle Hyuga and Aoba rushed into the living room pulling Touji to his feet while Fuyutsuki dragged Kensuke into a corner. Once Touji had calmed down Hyuga and Aoba released him but kept themselves within arms length in case he decided to attack Kensuke again.
"What the hell's wrong with you, Touji? I was only trying have a little fun," Kensuke wondered pushing his glasses up on his nose.
"Oh! And I suppose you think all girls should have 'over-ripened' bodies like Misato's! What about the way you acted when Fuyutsuki showed you the Evas? I almost died piloting Unit 03 you dambass and you still acted like it's all fun and games! War is anything but fun, Kensuke! And if you pulled you head out of your ass you'd see that," Touji roared some more, trying to implant his fist in Kensuke's face.
"Touji, knock it off!" Hyuga yelled grabbing the fourth child under his shoulders. "You guys are supposed to be friends,"
Finally calming down again Touji nearly threw Hyuga off him and headed out of the room to grab a change of clothes and his wallet before storming out of the condo. "I'm going out for a while!"
Later that night Touji was still fuming over Kensuke's behaviour and his own disgust at wanting to throttle his own friend. But he didn't want to go back for some reason. So instead of returning to the condo he just wandered aimlessly through the Caribbean streets going nowhere in particular. He knew Rei and the others would be worried about him and would most likely start searching for him sooner or later, but he didn't want to be found. At least no yet. In some strange way he felt like being in Unit 03's entry plug with it's internal sounds surrounding him. The only thing close to that was Rei's heartbeat. Snapping out of his musing Touji found himself outside a boat rental yard filled with jet skis, sailing boats, hydrofoils and small yachts. Now he realised he was on the other side of the island and it would take him six hours to get back to the others.
'I've gotten myself into a real mess now. If I sleep on the ground I'll probably get robbed,' he thought, unsure of what to do. "I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!"
After deciding to head back in the direction he came from Touji suddenly hear the screams of a girl in trouble who sounded a lot like Rei. "No! Let go of me!"
"Rei? Rei!" Touji shouted running towards the screams. "Rei!"
"Touji! Help me!" Rei screamed, struggling against her single captor.
"Shut your mouth bitch!" the man hollered backhanding her across her face making her shriek in pain.
The assailant made two mistakes by hitting Rei. The first because it got Touji really pissed off. The second was he had to free one hand in order to backhand her. This gave Touji the opportunity and added incentive to throw the hardest punch he had ever used into the assailant's face, shattering his jawbone and removing several teeth. As Touji stood over the unconscious attacker catching his breath a hand slowly crept up his shoulder. Turning around he saw Rei holding her other arm over her naked chest with a red mark on her pale cheek and tears streaming down her face. Her bikini top ripped in half on the ground. His anger faded instantly as he took in the frightened look in her eyes and wrapped his arms around her protectively, letting her cry into his shoulder.
"I was so scared, Touji. I didn't know what he was going to do to me," she sobbed fisting his shirt in her hands.
"It's over now, Rei. There's nothing to worry about from him," he replied running his hands up and down the smooth skin on her bare back. "But what are you doing all the way out here?"
"I came looking for you when Fuyutsuki told us about what happened between you and Kensuke. I just happen to see you here right before I was attacked, but I didn't bring my cell phone with me," she confessed wiping her tears away with the back of her hand.
"Neither did I. Here take my shirt, can't have you walking around the streets half naked," he said, hoping it would fit her. "You want me to turn around while you put it on?"
"No, I wish for you to see my breasts, Touji. You do not have to turn away anymore now that we are in love," she answered dropping her arm from her chest. "Or do you only love me just to impress others?"
"What? No, of course not! I didn't mean to make it sound like I didn't want to see your breasts, Rei. I just wanted to respect your privacy that's all," he reassured pleadingly. "I think you have very nice breasts, Rei,"
"Thank you, Touji," she replied, blushing as she pulled his shirt over her head. Enjoying his smell and residual warmth as it surrounded her.
