Disclaimer: Yeah I don't own anything of NGE, I kinda wish I did, but I thought about it. I really do like my job I have now and coming up with something like NGE would just have hurt my head. So yeah don't come after me I don't have much money.

A/N: Okay this idea came to me while I was board. This is more then likely going to be one of those one shot deals, depending how it goes in the review area. So I hope you guys like the story. I also came p with the idea of this story after hearing 'Stop your self control' while playing the version three Initial D arcade game.

PROLOGE

The tragic events of third impact never happened. Things just went on as they will. The last of the angles came and went. People moved on. NERV became something much like the UN. Gendo Ikari went on to new and bigger things and was pretty much never seen again, with the exception of the occasional news broadcast about some latest discovery. Ritsuko Akagi got a real doctors job, at the local hospital. Something she wanted to do since she was a little girl. Be a doctor. As for the pilots and Misato? Misato had taken it upon her self to take in the three pilots. No legal action was sought, maybe because no one cared or they all forgot. But the apartment was far too small. So with the money she had gotten from the government for her services through NERV. She and the pilots found a House on the suburbs of Tokyo three. It wasn't too big of a place. Something different. Four bedrooms, kitchen, two bathrooms. And so the pilot; Shinji, Asuka and Rei tried to live out a normal life. But face it when you've piloted a fifty foot machine how normal can things get right? And this is the story. The story taking place three years after the events of the Evangelion project. A story of wandering souls finding one another. A story of heart ache. A story of things changing for the ex-Eva pilots. And the place this is taking place at is Tokyo three.

(Shinji Ikari)

It was a hot lazy summer day, for one Shinji Ikari. Now seventeen, and fast approaching his and the summer was only just starting then he, Asuka and Rei would start their last year of high school. Then it was on to college. But that was some time away and it was the last thing that was on Shinji's mind. Right at this vary moment he was more concerned about finding some relief from the stifling heat. So going into the storage room that was located behind the stairs Shinji pulled out a hammock then he went out on to the wooden deck. The deck was small… more like an enlarged step. Much like old house one would find out in the country side of Japan. On one section of the deck there was this tree that provided the perfect amount of shade and was also the location of the eye hooks for the hammock. Placing the ends of the hammock in the hooks, Shinji then undid his button up shirt and climbed in to the hammock, with his newer music player Misato had gotten him just the year before. When his old SDAT player met a vary untimely end when it fell from his backpack and plummeted down three flights of steps to only have it shatter in a thousand little peaces. And this couldn't have happened at a worst time. That vary same week one particular redhead was having her period. So Shinji had nothing to hide from the wrath that was sure to come. But the relief came as it always did. The later afternoon breeze came like it always did and Shinji was fast asleep; music pumping softly in his ears. All was truly with the world. But Shinji didn't know that this summer was one that he nor anyone else in the house hold will never forget…

(Rei Ayanami)

When the Evangelion Project was over, Rei found her self lost and confused. The commander had rather forgotten her or stopped caring all to gather. But one thing was for sure and that was Rei Ayanami at the age of fifteen was now truly alone. Well so she had thought. Misato had extended the offer to Rei when the moving process was in full swing for her to move in with her, Shinji and Asuka. At first Rei was this as a simply a means to have shelter, one of the most basic things needed to live. But soon Rei found that she wasn't alone anymore. She had friends… No…she had family. And that meant that there where no secrets among family. So Rei had told Asuka who she really was. A copy, a clone of Shinji's mother, at first Asuka wasn't sure how to take the information. But as that vary week went on Asuka accepted it. And told Rei that she and Shinji where brother and sister. Something that Rei had never thought of in that way. But Asuka was right in a since they where brother and sister thus they where family.

As time went on Rei slowly started to become like a normal teenaged girl, she even tried to do the whole dating thing but found that it was rather troublesome and when school functions came about such as a dance. She was one of the Girls that most of the boys in the school would kill to take to a dance. But those type where mostly the type she didn't care for. So she found her self talking to and spending time with Kensuke Aida. Nothing was set and nothing was official. They where simply friends that found common interest… Well that's what they told them self's and others, but the others weren't buying it.

It was a hot lazy summer afternoon, having just returned home from spending time with her friend/love interest Kensuke. Rei now also 17 found that the central air was not working, making the house hot too hot to even try to do anything else other then find some way to escape it.

"Wak!"

Looking down at the penguin, Rei gave a smile, a small one but still a smile before she kneeled down to the bird and patted him on his head lightly. "They forgot to feed you and get you fresh water again?"

"Wak!"

"Come on…. I will get you something to eat."

Walking in to the kitchen Rei opened the fridge to find that the central air should have been the first clue that something was wrong. "The power is out again." She stated as she quickly pulled out a can of caned fish. Placing it on the counter top she went over to a drawer and pulled out a can opener. The moment that can opener broke the seal to the can she closed her eyes and looked away slightly. She didn't like the smell of meat, especially that of fish. Dumping the cans contents in to the birds bowl she placed it on the floor and patted Pen-Pen on his head again before going on in to the living room. Where she found the deck sliding doors wide open letting in a nice breeze, one that knocked the heat out just enough to make sitting in the room bearable. And she also found Shinji laying out on a hammock his ears plugged with ear buds to his old almost antique hand held, that played movies, games and music. He was just lying there with just a pare of cargo shorts the elastic to his boxers showing over the shorts just barely. Rei decided that it would be best to let Shinji sleep. So she sat there on the couch in the living room and pulled out a book to read. But something was different; there was change in the air. Something was going to happen, something that no one would forget about…

(Asuka Langley Sohryu)

When things came to a close for the Evangelion Project, Asuka had the chance to go back to Germany. But for some reason that no one really understood besides her. She stayed there in Tokyo three. Maybe the place grew on her, or it was something entirely different. But the fact remained that she stayed and moved with Shinji and Misato. Asuka and Shinji for a couple times gave a relationship a try. Several times, but something always happened. But they went back and forth until they found the right way to go about things…. School functions, parties, even subject of sex came up between them. Now things had gotten complicated. Their feeling for the other where true but their personalities always gotten in the way for something working out. But like always in relationships things happen and things heat up. Again things had gotten complicated. And so the two kept their distance, but always leaving them self's open for the other when they needed each other. Truly a strange relationship.

I was a hot summer's day and the heat was to the point that if any one would have cracked an egg out on the sidewalk, one could fry it in minutes. She had just gotten home, minutes after Rei. She like Rei had found out that the central air was out. Letting out a sigh she went in to the kitchen to find her self a bottle of water, but when she opening the fridge she had found that not only the central air was out but the house was lacking power all to gather. Walking in to the kitchen she found Rei sitting there on the couch reading a book, or I should say trying to. The heat was making it hard to consternate on doing any task.

"How long has the power been out?"

Rei looked up from her book. "It was out when I returned home."

Opening the bottle, Asuka took a drink. Then she looked around to find Shinji sleeping out on the hammock. "Was he sleeping there when you got home?"

Rei kept her eyes on the book as she nodded.

Getting up from the couch, Asuka walked over to the sliding door and looked out to see Shinji sleeping in much the state that Rei had found him. So quietly she went back in to the living room and looked at Rei for a moment.

"We should give the Baka a break for once and the two of us make dinner." Asuka said making Rei look up from her book.

Rei thought about it for a moment, and then closed her book. "If we are to do so, we should get started before Ma… Misato returns home."

Stop Your Self Control

The relation between Asuka and Shinji; tried as they may to keep it secret. Was well know among Rei and Misato, but both had found out in different ways. Rei had discovered the truth and the extent of Asuka and Shinji's relationship one night when she had returned home from a late night movie she and Kensuke had gone to see. On her way to her room she had over heard they two while they where in the… uh middle of things. That had happened just the year before. Misato had discovered this little fact when she had discovered two things. The first was a box of condoms that was not so well hidden in Shinji's room. And the second things that tipped Misato off was an empty pill card of birth control. At first she didn't know what was going on, and so she talked to Rei who confirmed what she had thought was going on. But for once there as a balance of peace in the house hold. And the two had decided not to let on that they know. But to let Asuka and Shinji think and believe what they will.

Somewhere in the edge of sleep and awake, Shinji laid there on the hammock. There was something missing in his life. He needed something other then school and the meaningless part time job he had gotten. He needed something other then the cello. Did he miss being an Eva pilot? No, he hated those days. He hated the fighting, the feeling he got when he was in his Eva. And so there was the question; what is there out there to take his time. Asuka? Well Asuka will always be there and sure it was true she's the type that requires a sizable amount of cash to take out. But money wasn't an issue with Shinji. He had all the money saved that he had gotten from NERV and that what he earned him self. In other words Shinji was getting board with the same old things everyday, but at this moment there was something else that was nagging at his mind and that was the burning smell he kept on getting a slight waft of now and then. Opening his eyes, Shinji looked over in the direction of the kitchen to see smoke come from the door way. Jumping to his feet to only have him self fall flat on his face but he quickly recovered and ran to the kitchen.

"What the hell is going on in here!"

Looking up from their 'project'. Asuka and Rei both gave Shinji a look that said 'what?' to the teen. But Asuka knowing that Shinji wouldn't pick up on it she answered.

"We're making dinner." She said putting her hands on her hips. "What dose it look like?"

Shinji took another look around 'His' kitchen then back at the girls. "Making a mess."

Rei simply nodded, agreeing with Shinji. Asuka stood there. Getting madder by the second. Feeling Asuka's anger level raising, Rei took this moment to return to her book. "And so the peace is lost for a couple of days." She whispered.

"What was that?" Asuka asked… okay demanded.

"I'm returning to my book." Rei answered as she left the room leaving Shinji to deal with Asuka.

Once the only witness in the whole house was out of the room, Asuka glared at Shinji. Making him gulp.

"We where making dinner so you wouldn't have too stupid!" She shouted.

"Asuka I thank you both, but the place is trashed." Shinji said pointing at the mess in front of them.

Before Asuka could say anymore, she noticed it. Shinji standing there in front of her with no shirt; she had found that Shinji was nicely tanned and had more muscles forming his chest and stomach nicely.

"You've been working out?"

Shinji was about to say something about the kitchen but stopped at the question that was clearly an attempt to change the subject. "Yeah… I've been going with Toji a couple times a week. Why?"

"It shows… it looks good." Asuka replied.

Apparently changing the subject worked.

"It's nothing really….. "

In the other room Rei turned the page to her book. 'It may seem that things will be resolved this evening…'

Having successfully evaded what could have been a fight and blame being placed on her for the state of the kitchen, Asuka managed to slip out of the kitchen leaving Shinji to clean and again prepare dinner. When she had walked out of the kitchen she received a quick glance from Rei.

"What?"

Rei looked up from her book. "I did not say anything."

"You gave me a look." Asuka said.

Rei returned to her book. "I do not understand…."

Asuka stood there looking at Rei. "You know… You know you understand so don't hide behind that book of yours."

Asuka turned and went to the deck where Shinji was sleeping to get him his shirt.

"I simply do not want to get involved." Rei stated with out looking up from her book.

Out side Asuka had picked up Shinji's shirt, but before bring it out side she looked around to make sure that no one was looking then she took a quick sniff of Shinji's shirt. Letting out a sigh, she could never get over his scent. Maybe it was the type of body gel, or just simply him. But either way she loved his scent. But little did she know, Rei had seen everything and had just reinforced her belief that what ever problems Asuka and Shinji where having. They will be fixed by this evening.

Walking back in to the house, Asuka went back in to the kitchen where she saw Shinji downing a bottle of water. She handed him his shirt.

"Oh thanks Asuka…" Shinji said as he took his shirt.

"It's nothing." She said watching him put on his shirt, studying him as he did. "So what are you doing later on tonight?"

"Nothing much." Shinji replied puling out the trash bag from the trash can. "Why?"

"I was going to do some shopping and I wanted to know if you wanted to go with." Asuka said.

"Sure I'll go with."

Shinji was no fool; he knew what that really meant. Asuka was looking for some action. He knew that she and him where exclusive. But they kept their distance. And when ever Asuka needed company of another, Shinji was there. Did he feel like a tool? No not really. They just needed time to work out their own differences before a real official relationship could start, but for right now they where what most would call Friends with benefits.

Couple hours later

Everyone was home; Misato had come back from work and was clearly enjoying her afternoon beer.

"Shinji you did it again." Misato said as she inhaled her food. "This… is the greatest!"

"Thanks…." Shinji said, sounding like he really wasn't there in the room.

"Say what's wrong?"

"What?" Shinji looked up from his food. "Nothing."

"Shinji? You know what I said about that tone you use when there is something bothering you?"

Cough again, damn that none convincing 'Nothing' of his.

"It's nothing really Misato."

Misato sat there across from Shinji. She could tell that there was something bothering him. She glanced over at Asuka and gave her and look, making the redhead point to herself and shake her head no. Then Misato looked over at Rei who only shrugged her shoulders as she chewed her food.

"So you're not going to tell me are you?" She asked.

Shinji shook his head. "There's nothing to tell…" He let out a disagreeing moan. "Asuka I'll be up in my room. I should be ready to go by the time you get done eating."

Then with that Shinji got up and left the table. Once he was up the stares and in his room. Misato again looked to the two girls. "Okay you two what happened?"

"We attempted to make dinner so he wouldn't have to." Asuka replied. "You know give him a break…"

Rei put her fork down. "I believe that there is something bothering him and he wishes to figure it out himself."

About an hour later

Walking down an open air mall, Asuka peered in to one of the shops. "Come on Shinji.. Why you taking so long?"

Shinji walked up to Asuka, his hands in his pockets. "It's nothing. Just like I told Misato."

Asuka rolled her eyes; she now knew that something was bothering her Baka Shinji. "Look you can tell me."

Shinji thought about it for a second then he looked at Asuka. "Promess you won't laugh."

"Sure I do."

Shinji took in a deep breath. "Okay… I'm board with the everyday thing. School, work, school and work." He said. "That's all I do. I guess I need a new hobby."

"That's it?" Asuka asked.

Shinji shook his head. "Yeah that's it."

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief. "Come on let's find something for you to do… Video games maybe."

"They've never been my thing." Shinji stated.

But instead of saying something Asuka just grabbed his hand and dragged him off to an arcade that was not too far from where they where standing at in the out door mall. Along the way they had passed a parking lot that was really a lot for a used car dealership. Still being dragged by Asuka Shinji only had a couple of second to see it. There in the back, out of sight of others was a dirty blue car that seemed to be missing its front bumper, right head light. It looked sporty, and small. About the size of Misato's car. Little did Shinji know that encounter will change his life, I would be something that would deify he for who he is. Something other then an Ex-Eva pilot, someone other then the son of Gendo Ikari.
