Chapter 3: Ayanami Rei.
Shinji find himself in the middle of the nothingness white in every direction you could think of except for the mirror in the middle of the room or what he thought was the a mirror because suddenly the reflection spoke at him.
"so it was you" the reflection that look like Shinji was odd, it didn't have any visible emotions and the eyes looked dead and looking closely the color of the eyes was different it was a darker color than Shinji's.
"me? What do you mean?"
"you were the one that kill the angels"
Shinji was obviously confused "who are you?"
"I am Shinji Ikari"
"no you aren't, I am Shinji Ikari"
"I am a part of you that you don't know yet"
"what do you mean with that?"
"did you think that killing angels didn't bring any consequence?"
"consequence? Are you saying I shouldn't have?"
"whether you do it or not is your decision but just like every action you take it has consequences no one is free from the responsibilities of his actions, one way or another the consequences will catch up t you"
"and what those consequences would be?"
"that depend of your future actions but at the moment there is one advice I can give you, don't let your actions be someone else decision and don't let your past blind your future"
"that sounds like something a grandpa would say"
"the burden of the years always give wisdom to those that live long enough" the other Shinji that until now had dead eyes now give Shinji a look totally unlike himself he couldn't read it was it pity or was it sad Shinji didn't know "farewell the next time you see me will be when you need me"
"what?"
Shinji wake up looking at the familiar ceiling that belong to his room.
"what the heck was that?"
Shinji look at the clock and was now time to leave his bed, still thinking about the dream Shinji go through his usual routine make breakfast and lunch for himself Misato and now ritsuko then preparing for school everything was normal some small talk in breakfast some jokes a bit of teasing each other until the time he got out of the shower and look himself on the mirror he start noticing something was odd Shinji never had a big complexion and even if he indeed had some muscle it wasn't too notable so it was extremely weird that without any special workout the muscle in his arms and abdomen were starting to get a bit bigger even if it wasn't a really big change but he could notice he tried to let it slip but the dream he had come to his mind but put it aside it was too crazy to believe in some random dream.
Ready for school he walk towards the exit of the apartment "I am going to school Misato your lunch is on the table don't forget it"
The voice from Misato come from her room "wait Shinji, before you go take the envelope in the table I was supposed to give it to Rei but I couldn't so please take it to her after school"
"isn't that your job"
"please I promise I owe you one if you do it"
"*sigh* sure but I don't know where she lives"
"don't worry I send you the address to your phone later"
"sure later"
"have a good day"
XX
From then on Shinji's day was normal boring class, lunch with the idiots, occasional chitchat from some of the girls that where still cling to the fact he was a pilot, Shinji didn't really like then because he really didn't like to pilot and at the end of class when he was getting ready to leave for Misato´s odd job one of the girls reach out to talk to him.
"Ikari could you do me a favor?"
It was a girl with black hair and freckles somewhat smaller than Shinji.
"what is it class rep?" Shinji didn't really talk to the girl but at least he could listen he wasn't in a hurry.
"please call me hikari its weird that you call me class rep"
"then call me Shinji too hikari"
"sure Shinji then I need to hand these print to Ayanami but I have to go pick up my sister, I heard she was a pilot too so you would see her more than me so could you give her the prints for me?"
"sure in fact I had to see her today anyway so its okay"
"sure thanks Shinji!" the girl wink at Shinji before taking her leave.
"Did she just wink at me?" Shinji said to no one in particular.
XX
Now Shinji was walking in what could be consider the bad part of Tokyo 3, homeless people on the streets the buildings ready to fall and a certain smell that told you the trash truck did pass in this part of city.
"Is this it?" Shinji was following the directions that Misato send him and had arrived at an apartment building in a very bad state Shinji was seriously doubting someone really lived there, following the stairs until the floor that was supposed to be Ayanami´s apartment Shinji knock on the door but there was no response he knock again but the same result a third time and Shinji's patience was already out so he try to open the door "its open" Shinji took a look inside, the place was just as bad inside just a small kitchen a simple bed that look really worn out, a small closet and a little table a lot of trash cloth everywhere, there wasn't even curtains the only thing in the whole room that had any personality was a picture and a pair of glasses.
The sound of a door being open behind Shinji make turn around just to encounter a very naked Rei Ayanami looking back at him but that didn't last long Ayanami just walk towards the closet to put on some clothes Shinji just follow her with his eyes noting the pale color of her skin where the pink nipples stand out the little bush of blue hair and the curves that any normal teenager had it was a glorious sight.
neither of them had really acknowledge each other and Shinji didn't look away because he was just curious about the girl and in the time he had living with Misato Shinji was now accustomed to the female body so even if he was having a biological reaction his mind was calm.
"what are you doing here Ikari" it was Rei that broke the silence still in the middle of changing.
"I have an errand here" Shinji still didn't look away but a very small blush tinted his face not even he was immune to such a display of womanly charms.
"what do you require Ikari?" Rei really did have nerves of steel she wasn't in the least shame.
"I brought this for you" he handed the prints that Hikari gave him.
A now fully dressed Ayanami took the papers and put then in the small table and walk past Shinji again but now in the direction of the door, he just let her go having things to attend in NERV himself he just follow, the walk was fast neither of them break the ice.
When they get to the entrance Rei slid her card throw the reader just to have a sound announcing that her card didn't work.
"yeah you might want to try this Ayanami" with the card in his hand he held it in front of her.
Ayanami try to take it in a smooth swing but Shinji just keep it out of her reach.
"what are you doing?"
"just a little exchange if you want the card would you mind answering a few questions?"
"affirmative, as long as it isn't classified information"
"good then let's do that while we walk" Shinji pass the card and then use his own to cross the door.
Now on the way to their respective destinies, Shinji begun to talk.
For a moment he consider asking if her hair was fake but Shinji knew the answer already the carpet and the curtain match after all, so he moved to his other questions.
"Ayanami why do you live in that dump?"
"I live there because it was what is was proportionate for me"
"so you don't care that the building is old or that homeless live in the building too?"
"it is enough for my daily necessities" her answers where short and crude like a robot.
"and why does the door was unlocked?"
"I have nothing worth robbing so there is no point"
"and your safety is not part of your concern?"
"I can take care of myself" that it was a lie, he saw no muscle in her body and there was no way she could resist a grow man like the homeless that live nearby if they try to assault her, at least that's what he thought.
"does Gendo know you live there?"
"I would assume he does even if he have never visited me before"
"I see… so how does Gendo treats you?"
"the commander is nice to me"
Shinji wanted to know more about their relationship, the girl has been a lot more time with the man after all but there was another matter that he wanted to know more.
"how did you ended up with the injuries I saw the day I came here?"
"I was injured in an accident with unit 0"
"how does an Eva get you injured like that?"
"the activation wet wrong and the Eva go berserk and the entry plug had to be forcefully removed and end with the state you saw that time"
"so the Eva did that" Shinji just keep quiet the until they go their separate ways no words of goodbye just leaving.
Later Shinji heard that Ayanami was going to try and get the unit 0 to work again and that she succeed.

Now later in Misato´s apartment Shinji was getting ready supper when Misato came back.
"I am home"
"welcome back Misato"
"please tell me supper is ready I am starving"
"ready in a minute go change it will be on the table when you come back"
"I love you Shinji" Misato blown a kiss to the teenager.
This was now daily to Shinji now Misato even if she was indeed a grown woman was also really affectionate with him at least he never ask her if she was like that with other people, and Shinji didn't really care it's not like he didn't like it to a healthy extent and Shinji had would not refute what little time he had with a woman that didn't just try to get to him because he was a pilot. He know he was living with her because he was indeed a pilot but he doubted that being like that was a part of her job since most people at NERV really didn't try to get in his good side.
With the table ready Shinji took a can beer from the fridge for Misato, the woman like her beer and even if Shinji didn't like it she still drink it so he thought it was best to limit her rather than completely take the drink away.
"that looks good is it Italian?"
Misato was one to let loose in the apartment most of what she wore was small tops and shorts that looked really good on her not that Shinji would never admit.
Shinji was never one to go out of his way to do extravagant things but since he came here he was trying new things thanks to his now larger budget and a person to share it, he had to admit that cooking for Misato give him some motivation since he always eat alone in his old place also since he came he bought a couple of pieces of furniture including a game console a lazy sofa and some other things that make the apartment more lively.
"yeah I been having a crave for pasta these days I hope is good"
"I can't imagine you ruining a dish and a change of paste is nice but I am wondering if you´re trying to make me fat so no men come close to me. I think I have gained a few pounds since you cook"
"yeah that's the first step next I am make you addicted to my food so you can't live without me anymore"
"too late that happened already and I am going to make you take responsibility"
"sure give me a call when I am 18 then we see what can we do"
"damn law" this comedy routine nerve get old eating and chatting, Shinji had something this to look forward the days that Misato didn't have night shift.
"Misato how much do you know Rei?" this was new to Misato he usually didn't bring random people into the conversation.
"oh what's that getting interested in Rei?"
"Misato have you ever been to Ayamani´s place?"
"well not really the girl usually keeps all to herself so I never had a reason"
"good to know, so can I be sure you didn't know the state she live?"
"what do you mean exactly Shinji? Is there something wrong with her?"
"Misato she lives in a freaking dump" Shinji told Misato about he had seen that afternoon, the bad part of city the horrible building and how she look that didn't care.
"I have some trouble imagining that the commander keeps her in such a state"
"I thought the same but why would I lie, can you do something about this?"
"I don't know what can I do but I am going to have to see it myself there is no way I am leaving a child live in such a place"
Shinji felt relieved that it looks like she cared enough to do something.
"thanks it would be great if you could"
"oh! That does look like you have some interested in her did something happen when you go to her apartment?"
Shinji was not a good liar never have, and it was in this kind of situation when he felt that being the official chef had its benefits.
"there is some desert in the fridge if you forget that question and a day without lunch if you press the question, your choice"
Misato didn't really had to think too much in that one.
"so what kind of desert is?"
"Good girl"
XX
The next day Shinji was surprise to see the seat in front of him not empty Ayanami was sit there like if it was natural for her, well maybe it was Shinji didn't have more than a couple of months living here and she probably attend the school before he did.
But reality was different that he imagine the girl was like air no one seem to talk to her not even the teacher and she was always looking out the window, it seem like she was in school because she had to not even slightly interested in what happened around her, but Shinji did notice more than one classmate taking glances at her from time to time most being of the male population and when it was time for lunch she didn't bother with it she just past time watching the sky.
It was odd Shinji was sure of this but didn't really bother him, he knew the place she lived after all it look like the girl didn't care as long as it didn't affect her in a negative manner.
Then shit hit the fan again that same afternoon Shinji's cell phone rang and it was time to confront the next angel.
XX
"Shinji are you ready"
"yeah when you are Misato"
Inside unit 1 Shinji was already preparing for what come next.
"ok hear this, the angel looks like some kind of multi form shape and until now it has only attack our defense with some kind of high energy beam if you can avoid it the possibility you could get close enough to take him out is good it doesn't look like it can shoot in rapid succession"
"good to hear"
"what's the status of the target?"
"its moving this way, there seems like its passive for the moment"
"good then send the Eva"
The Eva got in the catapult and started its ascension.
"we got a read, there is a high energy read from the angel!"
The emerge from the ground and the angel immediately shot out the energy beam at it.
"Shinji be careful!"
"what?" that was all that Shinji manage to say before the beam made contact with the Eva chest.
"aaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggggggg" the LCL was boiling from the temperature and Shinji could feel his chest being tear open with the heat itself.
"hurry raise a wall to shield him"
The sparks that flew from the Eva chest stopped when the wall in front act as shield and he fell into unconsciousness.
"hurry bring him down"
"we cant the beam melted the rails"
"them bring the whole block down"
The Eva fell down in the floor and the whole was close with metal plates.
"what's the status of the pilot?"
"signs show the heart stopped"
Now ritsuko intervene.
"quickly send a cardiac massage trough the plug suit"
"it looks like it worked the pilot is alive but in a really bad condition"
"send the extraction team the rest with me a strategic meeting now!"
XX
Shinji's look around he was again in that white room in front of that weird version of himself.
"I didn't think I would see you again so soon" the weird Shinji spoke.
"not like I had too much of a choice what did it happen anyway?"
"the angel killed you… momentarily at least then I brought you here"
"Momentarily?"
"he stopped your heart but they manage to revive you"
"I understand that and why did you bring me here for?"
"as I say I am here because you need me"
"and what exactly will you do?"
"I am going to take that fear from you"
"what fear?"
"that fear that you had since your first encounter with an angel as you are right now you wont be able to pilot again and probably kill that girl"
"what girl, do you mean ayanami?"
"yeah if you don't pilot she will and if she does the angel will kill her"
"so I just have to pilot isn't it?"
"yes but you need some motivation"
"what exactly-" Shinji stooped mid sentence as the "motivation" hit him.
It was too fast for Shinji like a movie going twenty times faster a lot of voices and images run through his head but there was something that he understood perfectly.
"my mother? What was that?"
"It was a part from the truth"
"the truth? Was that a memory?"
"I cannot answer you right now is I don't know either but I an tell you that the only way to uncover the truth about your mother and everything that will happen will come if you keep as a pilot"
"this truth that you're talking about will it make me happy?"
"that depends on you some say there is bliss in ignorance but I take you aren't one to take these words aren't you"
"hahaha I guess you know me, I guess more pain is in order for me but if there is light at the end of the tunnel it will be worth it"
"also you may have realized it already but keep an eye on Ayanami the girl is more than she look like"
"not like I needed you to tell me I would do it anyway"
"great now it is time for you to awaken"
"I have one last question, are you taking pity on me or is it sadness that you feel?"
"neither its something you wouldn't understand yet"
XX
Shinji awoke he was again looking at that white ceiling and looking at his left he found the girl with red eyes looking at him intently.
"I guess that mean I am really alive or you die too"
"Neither of us is deceased"
"good that mean I can still have my revenge with the angel"
"I would assume you may be able to kill it if the plan succeeds"
"Does the plan involve me getting boiled in LCL again?"
"That is not part of it I think that would be counterproductive for us"
"you need to learn some humor and common sense on the way"
"hurry we have little time before the operation"
"sure give me a moment I need some clothe"
"here it is" Ayanami handed a fresh set of clothes and a light meal Shinji haven't notice but he was hungry that mean he must have been out some time.
"how much time was I unconscious?"
"about eight hours and twenty five minutes"
"how much time have you been here?"
"around two hours since I was ordered to inform you of the plan when you awake"
"thanks I guess I be ready in ten minutes"
Ayanami stood up and leave the room, Shinji didn't waste time and in eight minutes he was already trough the door where Ayanami was waiting.
"is there something else Ayanami?"
"I am to give you a small report of the plan, the angel is too powerful for normal weapons so you use a prototype rail gun to finish him in one go"
"and what if that thing attack before I do like last time?"
"I will protect you me and unit 0 are to be your support in case the shot is miss"
"I see so a protector I guess that I rely on you Ayanami" with a small bow Shinji continued "I be in your care"
Ayanami just started walking Shinji following close.
XX
Shinji and Ayanami seat at the bridge to their EVAS looking at the massive gun that was supposed to kill the angel it was calm too calm like just before the storm Shinji was still thinking about what his other self say, most of what he said sound like some bullshit but Shinji deep in him believe him he just knew that somehow or another what he said was true so now he had a reason to fight a reason to survive Shinji now had something else in his life beside rage so it just add to his reasons he was going to protect his new life until his last breath, Shinji had now the resolution no matter the pain no matter what he would find the truth, that was his light at the end of the tunnel now.
"Ayanami why do you pilot?" Shinji didn't really think what he said but he wanted to know, why would someone pilot the EVAS what was the drive that kept this apparently frail looking girl to pilot the mechanical monster.
"I pilot because is what I am supposed to do is what I live for and what gives me purpose"
"so you have nothing else besides the EVAS" Shinji didn't know the girl for long but now he understood, that's why she didn't care about most things in her life all of it was just aside, pilot would always come first and if it didn't involve piloting she didn't care and now that Shinji understood that he was yet again angry there was but one person that could make something like this, Gendo was the one in control of Ayanami´s life, so it was yet again his fault that someone had a shitty life he was going to make him pay but not yet there was going to be time for revenge on him but right now Shinji had to focus.
"Ayanami why don't you eat at school?" it was a bit out of now where he knew but he was sure she wouldn't mind.
"the school doesn't offer a satisfactory meal and I don't have the skill myself"
"would you want one if it was offer to you?"
"I wouldn't reject it but I have a strict diet I am prohibited from eating meat"
"I see good thing you mentioned it, it would have been a bad surprise later"
"do you plan on providing me of such thing?"
"yeah I always cook a lot since I do it for tree people so some more wouldn't be too hard"
For the first time ever though Shinji, Ayanami broke that expressionless mask and widened her eyes in what Shinji would assume to be surprise.
"why?" it was a simple question but yet Shinji didn't have a concrete answer he just wanted to do it so he would maybe it was that Shinji could relate with Ayanami to some extent having a empty life until some time ago, but Shinji didn't think it was pity, no it was something else Shinji wanted to pull her out of that life he wanted to give the girl at least something like what someone had offer to him some time ago.
"because I can" that was the simple answer to the simple question he wasn't going to over think this, he wanted to and he would simple as that.
Shinji saw for the second time a pinch of emotion on Ayanami´s face but this time he couldn't really tell what was it.
XX
"Shinji are you ready to start?"
Now Shinji knew why his other self had talk to him he was indeed afraid in the Eva his hands were slightly shaking and his breath was heavier, the last encounter had indeed put the seed of fear in him, but inside the entry plug he try to remember the words that had been told to him he clench hi hand and make it stop shaking he remember his resolution and close his eyes a second.
"Shinji?"
Opening his eyes his resolution set in stone and a burning flame inside of him light up now he was ready.
"I am ready Misato"
"good, Ritsuko is the equipment ready?"
"everything is ready Misato, Shinji we are entrusting you with all the power in japan and remember if you fail you have to recharge manually the weapon"
"Ayanami are you ready?"
"on standby ready to assist major Katsuragi"
"commence operation!"
"all lines functioning the rail gun is charging"
"Shinji remember the automatic program will do the aim just pull the trigger when ready"
"confirmed!"
Shinji could see the machine doing the calculations and the two target overlapping to fix the aim.
"charge is ready"
"there is another high energy spike coming from the angel!"
"Shinji fire!"
Shinji pull the trigger.
And the angel shoot out his own weapon, the shots met in the middle and distorted the other path.
"the shot change its trajectory the angel is untouched"
The angel didn't wait for Shinji and it shot another beam of energy at him that melted the top of the mountain he was in.
"Shinji! Shinji!"
"unit 1 suffer various damage from the heat and the pilot vitals are weak"
"THIS MOTHER FUCKER IS GOING TO MEET HIS END EVEN IF I A HAVE TO DO IT WITH MY OWN HANDS"
"Shinji are you okay?"
"of course not I feel like a god damn roasted turkey but this is not enough, that thing is going to have to roast me to a piece of coal if he want to stop me! Do you hear me bastard! I am coming for you!" the last was shout in the general direction of the angel while Shinji did his best to stand up.
The truth was his consciousness was slipping already he felt so hot and burn even if it was the Eva´s pain but he wasn't dead yet and he already resolute to fight until his last breath.
"what's the state of the weapon?"
"it is functional there is some damage to the lines but it still good enough"
Shinji pick up the gun from the ground and change the burn fuse and initiate the manual targeting.
"new fuse ready charging in progress"
The Eva stands up in what was left of the top of the mountain and took aim targeting the dead center of the angel.
"charge at 50%"
"god damn it, quickly that thing won't wait long"
"the angel is firing again"
"fuck!"
The angel shot but this time it stooped before it hit Shinji unit 0 was there with a shield that was supposed to conation the beam, but it was just going to buy time Shinji could see already the shield and part of unit 0 being melted.
"Ayanami!"
"charging ready"
"Shinji!"
"Eat this!" Shinji fire the weapon and hit the core of the angel a scream that come from the angel was heard and the beam stop a pool of blood erupted from the angel and it was dead.
When the angel die Shinji felt a surge of electricity run through his body and a surge of adrenaline that make him fully awake, "what was that?" Shinji thought.
"Ayanami are you okay?"
"Shinji Rei´s Eva melted too much the entry plug is stuck"
"damn it I go get her"
Unit 1 get to unit 0 and use its knife to open the melted part and take out the entry plug then Shinji got out of unit 1 and try and open up Rei´s plug.
"fuck is hot" the plug was too hot to open it but Shinji couldn't let Ayanami stuck in there, so he took the handles burning hot in his hands and start turning it to open the plug, Shinji felt the plug suit being burned and his hands burning with it that was going to leave a mark, the plug finally open and Shinji took a step inside and look for the girl, there she was in her white plug suit likely unconscious floating in the LCL.
"Ayanami!" Shinji took her out of the plug and rested her in the shoe of the Eva, then he check the pulse, she was alive didn't look too good but alive none the less.
Ayanami open her eyes and he saw Shinji in front of her in his plug suit checking her pulse.
"Ikari" she manage to squeezed out.
"thanks god you're alright" Shinji sit beside her with relieved on his face.
Ayanami took a closer look at the boy he didn't look too good either but what call her attention were the burns in his hands.
"what happen to your hands?"
"ah this? The plug had melted so the automatic eject didn't work I had to open it manually" the burns looked fresh so they probably still hurt but Shinji just stand there like nothing was wrong.
"thank you" Ayanami said to him but with a weird expression.
"your expression is weird you don't normally look like you have constipation when you thank someone" if there was any sign Shinji felt better was his sense of humor kicking in.
"I don't know the appropriate expression to make at this moment"
"that's depends on what you feel but a smile couldn't hurt" Shinji had meant it as a joke since the girl barely even show any expression.
"thank you Shinji" Ayanami said again but now with a smile.
Shinji felt like any pain he had was gone when seeing her smile, he didn't expect the apathetic girl to give him such a heartwarming smile.
"you´re welcome Rei" his heart skip a beat without a doubt.

"good job Shinji" Misato enter the nursery where ritsuko was tending Shinji's burns.
"thank you Misato, ouch!"
"don't move too much Shinji your hands need to rest"
"does that mean he can't cook?"
"Misato are you really more worried about if he can cook than if he is actually okay?"
"yes… I mean no but you know I am but I didn't think it was that serious"
"well thank god is not but Shinji has to be careful"
"I know Ritsuko and it's not that big of a deal really so don't worry too much Misato but I do think at least I want one day to recover"
"yeah don't worry it's okay we can always order something you deserve some rest after all, by the way those scars look nasty are they permanent Ritsuko?"
"unfortunately they are unless there is some surgery involved, but that depends on Shinji we can always pay some of it since it was on duty"
"nah its not like there isn't going to be more scars in the future and I am not really bother by then" Shinji look at his hands and the marks that remained, maybe it was because how they happen that Shinji wasn't bother by then it was after all the product of his attempts to save Rei.
"that's my Shinji for you anyway I have things to do so in the mean time you should go rest at the apartment, before I forgot there is a surprise waiting for you there I hope you like it!"
"hum I have a bad feeling about this"
"don't worry its nothing bad I promise" Shinji had his suspicious since Misato had that grin in her face that tell him that she was up to something, like the time she got him a pink apron as a joke.
"if it's something bad I may take more than one day off cooking" Shinji got her by the balls there (well figuratively).
"really I promise" Misato show a different smile now.
"we see, thanks again Ritsuko" that's all he said before he walk through the door
Ritsuko just give a small nod in confirmation before turning to Misato "what surprise did you mean Misato?"
"well I received certain information from section 2 and after a bit of a heated discussion with the commander I manage to get an arrangement, so Shinji and I have a new roommate"
"are you sure you shouldn't have told Shinji about that?"
"nah Shinji doesn't have enough emotion in his daily life so wanted to give him a little surprise"
"you mean the Shinji that fight angels and punch the commander in the face doesn't have emotion in his life, jeez I don't want to know what kind of life would you consider exciting"
"I mean the good kind, besides he´s going to live with another beautiful girl he cant be mad at that does he"
"geez getting a bit narcissist here but you got a point maybe it will be good for both Shinji and Rei"
XX
Shinji notice something odd the moment he got home there was a couple of shoes that weren't his or Misato´s then there was some boxes and one of the unoccupied rooms was not longer that, there were things just a few but it was obviously enough for a certain person that he had visited not too long ago.
He didn't notice the sound of the shower until it was cut off and Shinji just stare at the bathroom door he knew from experience what was coming, and there she was just like the first time a very naked Rei in all her glory but this time Shinji was the one that broke the ice.
"are you Misato´s surprise?"
"I am not I have been reassigned to live here under major Katsuragi supervision"
"so you ARE her surprise"
"not as I said-" Shinji interrupted.
"yeah I got it just go put on some clothes you're going to catch a cold like that" the truth was Shinji was having another biological reaction in the presence of Rei and he actually felt tire so he wanted to rest.
Rei stared at the bandage in his hands, she got closer and instead of moving to the door of her room she took his hands in hers and look him in the eye before speaking.
"are your injuries serious?" Shinji was yet again taken back by the actions of the girl, Rei was actually showing concern that yet again made Shinji's heart skipped a beat and made his biological reaction lager but still he replied.
"no they aren't I will recover soon but they are going t leave a scar but I don't really care about that"
Rei just stared at his hands again before letting go and moving but in the way she spoke again.
"I would recommend that you take care of your erection is not healthy to keep it neglected, but in the case of your injuries would you like my assistance with your necessity?"
The way she said it like it was a normal thing finally snap Shinji and his face took a deep blush, awkward was an understatement raising his voice just enough he forced himself to answer.
"no I just go to sleep now I feel tired and I need strength to give hell to Misato when she comes back"
