"Ahhhhh~, this is even nicer than I expected," Asuka said with a pleased sigh as she wriggled under the new silk sheets. "The mattress is just right, too, and so much room to roll around! Excellent present, liebling."

Shinji smiled at her expression. "I'm glad you like it."

Asuka grabbed Rei's box off the headboard of the bed and rolled over to face Shinji. She placed the box between them on the bed. "Now... I've been wondering all evening what Rei gave us, and it's time to satisfy my curiosity. I've got some ideas..."

"Do you thing she... well, she said it was personal. Do you think she gave us, um... a new version of that... box she gave Kaworu-kun? Shinji guessed.

Asuka tore the paper open and lifted the top off the box. "........yup," she said in a strangled voice. Her eyes widened and her face started to turn as red as her hair. "She did. Holy Gott, Shinji! Look at these!"

"I... I... Wow. Um... Rei is..." Shinji fumbled for words. "...Beautiful," he finally got out, sounding almost astonished.

"Yeah..." Asuka turned the pictures over slowly, examining each one in detail. "Wow... I... Shinji, have I told you lately that I love you?"

Shinji blinked, confused. "Um... yes?"

"Good. Ok, there are deeper emotional aspects I want to take about regarding these pictures, the fact Rei told us she loves us and gave us these, and that she also gave some to Kaworu to help fight that compulsion SEELE put in his head... but that's for tomorrow. Right now..." Asuka carefully put the pictures back in the box, closed it, and put it aside.

"...I want my lover," she said, and nearly leapt on him.

Rei clicked 'STOP' on the SDAT and took out the headphones. She laid the tape player aside and stared at the ceiling. After a moment she lifted one hand in front of her face and noted it was shaking slightly.

Her phone chirped. She looked at the message. DID YOU LIKE IT?

She did not need to look down to sense the nervous anticipation. She typed a quick reply back.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

+++

Four stories below, a young half-Lilim who at the moment was very much Kaworu Nagisa and not at all Tabris stopped where he'd been pacing in circles for over half an hour. He had tried to lay down on his futon and relax as instructed, but this had proved utterly impossible. Relax? Relax? With his first tentative efforts at both love and Lilim creativity on the line?

He looked at the message she's just sent. He steeled himself for a moment, then slowly looked up, through the four floors of concrete and metal that hardly impeded his Sight at all, and...

Shinji-kun and Asuka were like a bonfire of emotion and bonds. They shone like the sun, lighting up the whole building. Not far away, Major Katsuragi and Inspector Kaji were making their own glow, smaller and lesser in comparison. And just beyond that was Aya-... Rei.

She was glorious. Her Light shone like a star, rippling and shifting like a rainbow in a kaleidoscope. The same fractured splendors that always made her so beautiful to him were there, this time flaring with notes of deep emotion and enjoyment... and a recurring, rich ochre thread of... something he saw constantly between Shinji-kun and Asuka.

His heart soared. She liked it! And a thing he had made! He threw his fists in the air. "I did it! I did it!"

His phone beeped again. NOW GO TO BED, YOU STUPID FISH. I'LL MOST LIKELY KILL YOU IN THE MORNING.

He couldn't stop the grin that threatened to split his face. He typed back a reply, and flopped onto his futon, exhausted but happy.

+++

AS YOU WISH.

Rei put her phone down and closed her eyes. "Idiot."

Goodnight, everyone.

Goddamn it, Stryp...

All this update needs now is a mike-drop and a rock band playing Strypgia off as he rides off into the sunset on a robot stallion.


Yeah, I thought that update was pretty cool...

I think he'd want a pop group for that robot horse.

Well it's his choice on the matter. but usually pain is trying to tell you something and dulling it makes it difficult to tell when something might be getting worse.

He was in a walking cast after, as it fractured a bone. He was on the medication so that he could function.

This is not really used in modern German anymore, except in a derogatory manner.

Correct would be 'Liebling'.

This sentence runs in a different direction than it starts out in - there seems to have been half the sentence cut at the end, but no rephrasing has been done to the first part.

That's, like, a very nice way of saying what they are currently doing. :p

The man can learn. Now the question is, have they all sat down and watched Princess Bride yet, or has the Trout figured the line out from first principles?

Rei was still half sure he was screwing with her at first, so sat him down and made him watch it with her. He knows exactly what he's saying now, and so does she.

Rei's complete non-reaction when he said that when they were on the phone during her ride back from the Geofront is significant.

Unless he actually wants to see what the spy is up to. So far, Kaworu hasn't done that much spying, which is going to make Gendo curious.

Gendo knows why Kaworu is there, and it's not to steal information. He is already quite aware that Kaworu is the final Angel, and is waiting for him to start his run at Terminal Dogma he can cook the fish and then start the final phase of his plan for HIS version of Third Impact, all without tipping off SELEE that he's good to go on that last bit. A simple assassination of Kaworu, assuming it worked at all, would put him in a tight spot with SELEE, so he needs to wait for Kaworu to reveal his true nature, then drop the Evangelions on him.
 
Hello. What follows is a Discord discussion that sprouted off of a certain infamous Peta poster involving a chicken, a bed and two men. I've taken the liberty of trimming the bits that weren't relevant. I was, however, too lazy to mash them together, so it just has holes in it.

It's well worth a read, nonetheless.
Long as fuck image, but worth it.

Only thing that could make that better:
If she's doing a Bluth chicken dance.

Man I don't know what branch you were in.

Tooth extracted? Ibuprofen.
Broken foot? Ibuprofen and water. PT is at 0600.
Sucking chest wound? Ibu-oh wait stop the bleeding, start the breathing, treat for shock.

A slightly irrelevant note: in Vietnam, and I think many other SEA countries, Ibuprofen is virtually unused just because how widespread Dengue disease is :p.
