**************************************************************************** **********************************************

Hikari walks towards Misato's apartment to check up on Asuka. But along the way she runs into Touji and Kensuke. "Oh, it's two of the three stooges." Hikari said.

"Hey the class rep." Touji points out to Kensuke. "What are you doing here Hikari?" asked Kensuke.

"I came to check up on Asuka." Hikari replied then asked "What are you two doing here?"

"We came here to check up on Shinji." Kensuke replies.

Hikari rings the door bell and both Asuka and Shinji answer the door. "Hello." The both reply in unison.

"Y-y-you betrayed us." Touji stuttered. "Y-you're even dressing alike again." Kensuke also stuttered.

Asuka and Shinji both answer in unison "It's all Misato's fault, she made us dress like this. We have to eat, breathe and sleep together."

"You're living in sin!" Hikari half yelled.

"No! It's not like that!" Asuka and Shinji replied (Again in complete unison.)

Misato walks along side Rei and asked. "Why don't we continue this inside?"

After Misato explains the situation, Hikari, Touji and Kensuke all laugh. Once the class rep. contains her laughter, she asks Misato "So, How are their coordination drills coming?"

"Not good as you can see." Misato answered bluntly.

Asuka makes a mistake, resulting in an error and proceeds to blame it on Shinji. "Shiest! How can you expect me to synch at the speed of this animated turnip?! I'm telling you the whole thing's damn near impossible!"

Misato takes another sip of her beer and says "So, you're giving up?"

"Well you don't have anyone else now do you?" Asuka beams with pride.

Misato at Shinji and then asks. "Rei" Rei replies "Yes, ma'am. Misato then asks "Why don't you try?" Rei replies "Yes, ma'am." Rei puts in a headset and takes her position on the mat.

They both start and are moving in complete unison. After about a minute, Misato says "Maybe I should change the mission plans for Shinji and Rei."

Asuka things and says "What? No. No!" and runs off crying. "Asuka, wait!' Hikari said.

Shinji and Rei finish the routine and take off their headsets. "Shinji, you go and apologize!" Hikari yells. "What?" Shinji asks. "You made her cry you jerk! Go find her and tell her you're sorry!" Hikari yells again. Shinji complies and goes out to find Asuka.

Shinji finds Asuka in a store. He walks up to her and says "Hey Asuka."

"What do you want?!" Asuka asks.

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry. for making you cry." He replies.

"Oh? And what makes you think that I was crying?" Asuka asks.

"Hikari started yelling at me, telling me to find you and tell you I'm sorry for making you cry." Shinji said.

"Go away Shinji!" Asuka yelled.

"Alright, I'll go." Shinji said "But hurry up and come back, we still need to practice the drills."

Shinji starts to walk away when Asuka says "I don't need to go back. Misato said she was thinking about changing the mission for you and Wondergirl."

Shinji turns around and says "Asuka, Misato said she was thinking about it. Which means if you give up she will have no other choice but to change the mission." With that said, Shinji leaves the store only to find Asuka following close behind.

~Asuka took heart to Shinji's words and worked hard. In the end, Asuka and Shinji completed the mission and became very close to one another.~

Shinji and Asuka arrived at school after the angel attacks. The day went by rather slow, but at the end of class Rei walked up to Shinji's desk and said "Pilot Ikari."

Shinji was startled a little because Rei doesn't talk to anyone outside of work. "Oh, Hello Ayanami."

"I would like to speak with you in private. Please come to my apartment later today." She said.

"Sure." Shinji replied. Rei walks out of the classroom, followed by the rest of the students. Shinji and Asuka walked home. Shinji discarded his backpack and went in his room to find his SDAT.

Shinji grabs it and announces to Asuka "Asuka, I'm going out. tell Misato to call me on my cell if she needs to reach me."

"And just where are you going baka?" Asuka asked.

"If you must know, I'm going to Rei's place. She asked me to go there so we could talk about something. I shouldn't be too long." Shinji then walked out the door and set out for Rei's apartment.

Once he arrived, he knocked on the door. Shinji was about to invite himself in like the last time, but Rei answered the door. "Pilot Ikari, Please come in." She said. He nodded, took off his shoes and stepped inside. Shinji sat on a chair and waited for Rei to sit on her bed.

"Ayanami, what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked.

"Ikari, I wanted to know how you feel about our relationship outside of work." She said.

"Well Ayanami. I consider you to be one of my closest friends. Why do you want to know?" Shinji asked.

Rei sat there, silent for a few moments and answered his question "Ikari, It is because I have grown to like you. And I wanted to know if you would like to change our relationship to an. intimate one."

Shinji couldn't believe it. Rei, the girl who doesn't talk to anyone wants to be his girlfriend. After a minute of thinking, he decides to admit what feelings he has for her. "I have begun to like you too Ayanami. And no, I wouldn't mind making our relationship an intimate one. But I'm a little curious as to why you have begun to have an interest in me." Shinji replied.

"I see. I enjoyed it when you and I synched together. I liked it when you touched me. And when ever you're near me, I feel this warmth in my chest." Rei explained while pointing to her chest.

"Oh." Shinji said while blushing "Alright, but on one condition."

"What is the condition?" Rei asked.

"Please, call me Shinji." He said.

Rei nodded and said "As long as you call me by my first name, I do not mind." Shinji gave his new girlfriend a warm smile and she returned it.

Shinji looked at his watch and told Rei "I have to go, it's getting late." He walked to the door and opened it. The clouds were grey, lightning was constantly brightening up the sky, and the rain was pouring down heavily. Rei walked over to Shinji, took his hand and said "Please stay with me tonight, I do not want to be alone."

Shinji smiled and said "Alright, I'll stay. Just let me make a call first, okay." She nodded and sat back down on the bed. Shinji calls Asuka and tells her about the weather and says he won't be back until tomorrow.

"You are such a pervert, you're going to sleep with Wondergirl aren't you!!" Asuka yelled through the phone.

"No Asuka I'm not. I'm going to sleep on the floor. Tell Misato that I'm at Rei's apartment. You should be able to make dinner, That is unless you want to eat what she makes. Bye." Shinji turns off his cell phone and puts it on Rei's medical cart. Shinji notices that Rei is giving him a puzzled look. He asks "What's wrong Rei?"

Rei shakes her head 'no' and asks "You said you were going to sleep on the floor. why?"

"There is no other place for me to sleep but the floor." Shinji answered.

Rei then said. "You can sleep in my bed with me." Before Shinji could protest, Rei grabbed his hand and guided him to the bed.

"But Rei, I don't want to intrude." Rei put a finger on his lips and said

"You are not intruding. Please stay here with me." Rei then kissed Shinji on the lips. After Rei broke the kiss she gave Shinji a warm smile. He then returned the kiss and smiled back at her. Shinji grabbed Rei by her shoulders and brought her down with him onto the bed.

They both kissed passionately for a few minutes until Rei broke the kiss and said that they should get some rest. Shinji reached into his pocket and pulled out his SDAT. "What is that?" Rei asked.

"It's my SDAT. Listening to music helps me to fall asleep." Shinji answered.

Shinji placed one piece in his ear and was about to put the other in when Rei asked "May I?" Shinji handed it to Rei and she placed it in her ear. She took Shinji's arms and wrapped them around her waist. Both Shinji and Rei fell asleep to track 24 in the safety of each others presence.

The next morning, Shinji awoke before Rei. He propped himself up on one elbow and stared at his girlfriend. He put his SDAT away. Shinji took his finger and wiped away a stray lock of Rei's hair behind her ear. He kissed her cheek and whispered into her ear "Rei-chan, wake up. It's morning. Wake up or we'll be late for school."

She woke up slowly. Adjusting her eyes to the brightness. "Mmmmm, Shinji." Rei mumbled.

"Good morning, Rei-chan." Shinji said.

"Good morning, Shinji." Rei replied. She kissed him on the tip of his nose and got out of bed. Having no time for breakfast, Rei and Shinji take separate showers and get dressed. The two of them leave the apartment and walk toward school. Along the way, Shinji takes Rei's hand in his own. Nearing the school, Rei asks "Shinji. do you think it is wise to make our relationship public knowledge?"

"I really don't know. But I do want everyone to know that you and I are off limits." Shinji answered while giving Rei a broad smile. She returned a similar one as they walked into the school grounds still hand in hand.

Shinji and Rei walked in the classroom together, causing everyone (including Asuka) to stare. They broke hand contact when they reached their seats. Shinji opened his laptop and received a message from Kensuke. It read: 'Shinji. What happened?! You better spill it at lunch or Touji is gonna torture you.'

Shinji laughed a little and deleted the message. Surprising enough, lunch break came quickly. Shinji and Rei bought their lunches and sat down to eat them together.

After they finished, Hikari came to give her congratulations. Kensuke and Touji tapped Shinji on the back and asked "Shinji, can we talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah." He replied. Shinji, Touji and Kensuke walked until they were away from everyone. "So, Shin-man have you decided to spill it?" Kensuke asked.

"Yeah, I might as well." "Hurry up Shinji, I'm getting impatient." Touji said, cracking his knuckles. "Rei and I are a couple." Shinji said.

Touji and Kensuke just stood there with their jaws hanging open. "How did it happen?" Kensuke asked after he picked up his jaw.

"She asked me how I felt about our relationship and I told her how I felt. She asked if I wanted to make it an intimate one and I said yes. It's that simple." "Wow. I still can't believe it, you and Ayanami." Touji said.

"Why? What's so unbelievable about it?" Shinji asked, extremely curious.

"It's just that she's so quiet. It's like she's in another world sometimes." Touji explained.

"She can appear to be that way if you don't know her." Shinji said while walking away.

Shinji walked back to the table he and Rei were sitting at, to find Asuka talking to her. "Tell me Wondergirl, is Shinji still great in bed?" Asuka asked.

"I---" Rei started. Before she could start to answer Shinji stepped in and asked "Asuka, what are you trying to pull? You know I've never slept with you, so why are you lying?"

"You can deny it all you want Shinji, but the fact remains that you had sex with me." Asuka stated, then walked away.

"Rei-chan, are you okay? Did she hit you?" Shinji asked after kneeling down to look at her. Rei shook her head 'no.' "Then please talk to me, Rei." Shinji pleaded. Rei started to cry. "Rei, please tell me what's wrong." Shinji pleaded again.

"Sh-Shinji did..you..really..sleep with..her?" Rei asked in-between sobs.

"No, of course not!" Shinji said "Come on, lets go to someplace more private to talk."

Once they were away from everyone Shinji spoke again "Rei, I never slept with anyone. I'm still a virgin. The only reason I can figure Asuka said that is because she's jealous.jealous that you won my heart before she could. You're the only person I could ever love in such a way to do something like that."

"You are certain?" Rei asked.

"Yes, Rei. I could never lie to you." Shinji said, while wiping away her tears. "I love you and only you."

"Oh Shinji!" Rei exclaimed. Rei pulled Shinji into a passionate kiss. Shinji slid his tongue along Rei's bottom lip. Unknowing what his intentions were, Rei opened her mouth slightly. Which in turn caused Shinji to slide his tongue in her mouth. Rei moaned in Shinji's mouth when he used his tongue to come in contact with hers.

The kiss lasted for a while until the bell rang. "Rei-chan, come on..we have to get back to class." Shinji said, as he caught his breath.

"Alright.but promise me that we will continue this later today." Rei said.

Shinji replied "I promise we will." He took hold of Rei's hand and they walked to their class.

Shinji and Rei both walked in the classroom hand in hand again. They stayed that way until they reached their seats. Throughout the rest of the school day, Shinji kept receiving e-mail from Asuka. He just deleted them as soon as he got them.

When the school day finally ended, Shinji and Rei walked out side by side. "Rei-chan, I have to go back to my apartment to get my things. I'll be at your place as soon as I can." Shinji said. He kissed Rei on the cheek and ran towards his apartment.

Shinji packed most of his clothes and valuables into a duffel bag and set out to leave. Asuka was standing in the way of the door. "Asuka, please move. I don't have time for this." Shinji said.

"Shinji why?! Why are you with her and not me? Why can't you love me instead of her?" Asuka asked.

"Asuka, I don't have time." Shinji said.

"No Shinji! I need to know." Asuka pleaded.

"Alright I'll tell you. I thought that I was in love with you. But I convinced myself otherwise. I did it because you constantly abuse me verbally as well as physically. Asuka, you blame me for all your mistakes." Shinji explained "You insult my intelligence in almost every sentence you speak. You call me a pervert if I so much as see your bear arm. And above all else Asuka. you don't appreciate anything I do. Those are just a few of the reasons why I can't care for you like I do for Rei."

Asuka starts to cry. She falls to her knees, brings her hands to her face and cries harder. Shinji was about to say something but he decided against it, thinking that it would do more harm than good. He leaves the apartment and heads for Rei's.

Shinji knocked on the door. Rei answered it and invited him in. After he put his bag in a corner, Shinji approached Rei by cupping her cheek in his hand. Shinji leaned in and his lips met Rei's. Shinji had every intention to keep his promise.

The both of them stumbled over to the bed. Rei decided to take the initiative by slipping her tongue into Shinji's mouth. But Shinji countered this by closing his lips around Rei's tongue and sucking on it. Shinji eventually broke the kiss and started to kiss his way down Rei's jaw line, to her earlobe.

Shinji gently bit on her earlobe, and Rei brought her hands behind his head. Shinji kisses her collarbone, stopped and said "I guess I kept my promise." Rei shook her head 'no' and pulled off all her clothes down to her waist. Shinji just sat there, blushing.

He couldn't believe what she just did. Rei almost smirked at Shinji's blush and said "I want you to touch me like you did before." He nodded and had her lay on the bed.

Shinji fondled Rei's breasts in his hands. "Ohhh, Shinji! Please.. don't.. stop." Rei cooed.

She constantly moaned and panted Shinji's name as he continued with his ministrations. "L.lower." Rei urged.

Shinji leaned down and whispered in to her ear "I really shouldn't Rei- chan, we're too young. And besides that, I don't think that either of us is ready for that."

"But Shinji.I-I want to be one with you." Rei pleaded.

"And I with you, Rei-chan. But please bear with me. I know it's hard but no matter how much we want it, we can't have it until we're older." Shinji explained.

Rei nodded despite her disappointment. Shinji kissed Rei's lip's softly. "We can always try something else." Shinji said, trying to make Rei feel better "I have heard of a few things, but I want to confirm them tomorrow. We can try them out when we come back from school." Rei smiled. She gave him the smile that was reserved just for him.

Shinji smiled back, then kissed Rei on her nose and said "Go take a shower, we'll talk when you come out." Rei nodded and left to do as Shinji suggested. A half an hour later, Rei came out and got dressed while Shinji went in.

After Shinji came out and put some clothes on, he asked "Rei-chan, are you hungry?"

"Yes, I am. Would you like me to cook something for you?" Rei asked in response.

"I appreciate the thought Rei-chan, but if you don't mind, I would like to cook for you tonight." Shinji said, with an unmistakable hint of hope.

"Alright, but do you need any help." Rei asked. "Although I could use it, I want to surprise you."

One hour later, Shinji placed a dinner of rice, vegetables, and ramen. "This looks very nice Shinji. It smells wonderful." Rei said while giving Shinji a warm smile.

"Thank you Rei-chan." He replied, with a slight blush spreading across his face. When Shinji and Rei were finished, Shinji asked

"Rei-chan, could you meet me up on the roof in 5 minutes?" Rei smiled and nodded. With that, Shinji left.

Rei saw Shinji leaning against the wall "What is it Shinji?" Rei asked.

"Come here Rei." He said holding out his hand. She took it and let him lead her to the bench. With one swift pull, Rei fell into Shinji's lap. She blushed and looked into his eyes. Rei could feel Shinji looking into her very soul.

"I just wanted to look at the moon with you." She rested her head on Shinji's chest and sighed. "I love you Shinji."

"I love you too Rei-chan." Shinji said, then kissed the top of her head. They stayed like that for a while until Shinji broke the silence "Let's go to bed Rei." Shinji guided the half asleep Rei to her apartment. He picked her up and gently laid her down on her bed. They wrapped their arms around one another and fell asleep dreaming of what their future could be like.
