@The Englanderish : I don't think Rei would suddenly be so body-shy. Apart from that... yeah, it's cute of course. Nice to see how Shinji and Asuka are such good teachers to Kaworu. ;) (well, "nice" in your continuity of course ;) )

It's not that Rei herself is body-shy, it's that she's not really used to being so close to Kaworu of all people - it throws her off, a lot.

The cover story of 'Only post-2I Children' is kind of needed, since Units-00, -01, and -02 are all set by the facts of Rei I, and Yui & Kyoko's Contact Experiments make it so that Rei, Shinji, and Asuka have to be the first 3 Pilots. Once you've gotten that far, you need an explanation as to 'Hey, why are all your Pilots 14 year old kids?'. Once you've done that, it's easier to keep rolling, especially as #1) 14 year olds are easier to manipulate and #2) if you're Gendo and SEELE, you know there aren't actually going to be all that many Evas and Pilots. Even without the MP Dummy Plugs, they'd still have been able to fill out the numbers just from Class 2-A.

See, I'm not as sure that Asuka might be one of the pilots. We might presume that all the other candidates have mothers (or some other close figures) who have died, or made contact with Eva, to be suitable to be pilots.

That said, we know Asuka was chosen. Perhaps (and this is only speculation) what Kyoko and Yui went through makes their children better candidates, all other things being equal, than anyone else. It doesn't seem likely that dozens of people would've been engaged in contact experiments of that magnitude. The other candidates might be usable but not ideal as a result.

So, it's easy for me to suggest why Asuka might be favored over Toji, Kensuke, Hikari, etc. but I think it does require some reasoning to get there.

That having been said, I've never seen a story where they try to use the elder Horaki sister as a Pilot, and only once where Nozomi gets tapped.

I see what you did there. My thanks.

Your claims that you only support R/K in order to combat the Israfel Special are suspect.

As a sort of addendum, Harmonic Bending A.V.A.T.A.R. will not have R/K. For one thing Azula gets Rei's role while Kaworu's role is [REDACTED].

I also haven't the foggiest if Evangelion Civil War will have R/K - I haven't even decided if it'll be mainstream Eva canon or A&T or what.

Omake: Early Sundae​



Rei let out a gasp as they separated for air again. The past hours had been a flurry of kissing, cuddling, quiet confessions and roaming hands and… exploring. The last of which had brought forth the discovery that Rei was ticklish, to Kaworu's absolute delight. Uncontrollable laughter had filled their private store room, only stopping when Kaworu had Rei literally begging for mercy. She flushed at the memory. Laying together on the crash mat, she and Kaworu held each other contentedly.

"What time is it?" she wondered aloud, dreamily. Kaworu checked his watch.

"Oh, we missed lunch!"

"Well… since we've already skipped classes," said Rei, fingers dancing across Kaworu's collarbone. "We could duck school entirely today. But where would we go?"

"I could take you on a date?"

Rei stared at him.

"You know what those are?" she asked, incredulously. "How?"

"Shinji told me; he… gushes a lot about Asuka."

"I… wouldn't mind a date," replied Rei, blushing. "But, what should we do on it?"

"Hmm, I believe Asuka once mentioned her and Shinji going to something called an 'ice cream parlour' on a date at some point," mused Kaworu. "we could go to one of those?"

"I have tried ice cream before… but only in the school cafeteria," said Rei, "I am told it is… inferior to the type served in parlours; that sounds like a good idea. I suppose we should probably get going."

"You'll be wanting this back, then?"

Rei gave a tiny squeak and immediately snatched the article of clothing he was holding up from him.

"Yes," she said, blushing even harder than ever. Kaworu seemed perplexed by her reaction.

"You seemed quite happy with me removing it…"

Rei shot him a look and he fell silent. The two made sure they were, if not presentable, at least fully redressed before they unbarred the door and, checking to see if the coast was clear first, departed their little bolt hole. Sneaking out of the school was less trouble than they were expecting. Presumably their absence from the register had prompted Section 2 to head off looking for one or both of them because they were nowhere to be seen.

Nevertheless, it wasn't until they were far from the school and well into a commercial district that they felt safe to even hold hands publically. A little asking around was all it took to locate the ice cream parlour that Asuka had spoken of; a quaint little place, just off the high street. They'd had a little trouble deciding what to get at first, confronted by a veritable excess of choice. Thankfully, the cashier had picked up on their togetherness and had suggested a large sundae to share.

Finding a secluded booth at the back, they sat as close together as they could and eyed up their prize.

"So… do you want first bite?" asked Rei.

"Today is about you, Rei," said Kaworu with a smile. "Takamori hurt you."

"I… I guess."

His fingers curled around hers, under the table. With his other hand, he loaded up the spoon and brought it to Rei's lips. He slipped the first spoonful into her oh-so-enticing mouth. As it hit her tongue, Rei's eyes widened. She elicited a delightful little squeak, her eyes taking on a bright shine.

"It does weird things to me!" The most blissful expression spread across her face. Kaworu leant on his hand and gazed at her, affectionately.

"Wow," he breathed, "You look even more adorable than when you're angry…"

"Shut up, Trout!"

Kaworu stared at her, confused.

"Oh, right," said Rei, blushing yet again, "Sorry; force of habit…"

Smiling bemusedly, Kaworu took his first mouthful – and resisted the urge to squeal. His body, however, did all the squealing for him, practically glowing with sparkles as his expression turned borderline euphoric. His look also caused funny things to stir in Rei. Adoring things. Sinful things. Fighting off what felt like a minor heart attack, Rei placed her hands on Kaworu's cheeks and placed her lips on his while he was still savouring the ice cream. The result was, in Rei's opinion, the most delicious taste she had ever tasted. After lingering for a little, she pulled away, leaving Kaworu very red, but very pleased.

Leaning into his ear, Rei whispered, "I want you again."

"You already have me," he returned, feeding her another spoonful and restarting the kiss again.

And so they went, feeding each other, kissing and occasionally muttering affection to one another, until the glass ran low. Filled with ice cream and worn out from their earlier antics, they leant together comfortably and basked in their mutual warmth.

"So, Rei, I must ask," began Kaworu, with a small smile. "Why such a Rei of tsunshine?"

Rei stared at him, struggling to process what he had just said. Then things finally clicked.

"YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT!?" she blurted out in shock.

Kaworu's smile only widened.

"Shinji explained the concept of puns and 'tsundere' to me, among a few other things… but do you know what the answer is?"

Making a mental note to kill Shinji, Rei narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"What?"

"Beca~use," he continued in a sing song voice, "You make me happ~y, when skies are gre~y…"

Rei went almost completely scarlet, stuttering in response.

"I… wh… you… nnggg!"

Kaworu leant in for yet another kiss, but stopped as something caught his eye through the front window.

"Oh dear."

"Section 2?" asked Rei glumly.

"It would seem so, we should go."

Departing quickly, they staged a hushed 'argument' as they led their followers out, away from the city and into the surrounding hills. Rei tried to put more effort into her feigned hostility, but was she honestly struggling. Mercifully, they managed to lose the agents after an hour or two of evasion.

"So, where next?" asked Kaworu as they looked out over Tokyo-3.

"We~ell…" said Rei, fiddling with Kaworu's collar. A rather lustful expression began to sprout. "We could go to your place… and… do more… things. If you'd like?"

Kaworu returned her gaze with a sultry one of his own.

"I would like that."

Rei leaned her head by his ear and whispered something else. It set his breath on edge. It also had an interesting effect on his blood flow.

It might. You can't make the argument "Asuka was chosen anyway" when it is entirely possible she was only chosen because Kyoko got half her soul sucked into EVA-02.

Sorry, your statement is precisely what I meant to suggest: that Yui and Kyoko being involved in contact experiments makes Shinji and Asuka better pilot candidates. It seems reasonable to me that no one else, or very few others, would've attempted contact experiments to the same degree that Yui and Kyoko did.

I always took it that SEELE or their subsidiaries either killed the others mothers for use in Evas or somehow got access to them after they died of incidental causes and used them for Evas. Yui and Kyoko were in contact experiments because they were some of the main researchers working on Evas at the time. I figure that SEELE was able to streamline the process after that and used it to make backup cores so they'd have as many potential pilots as they could wish for.

Upon reading, I am filled with the need to strike back for my side of the battle. OT3 omake's shall be written and they will be WAFFy, mark my words. .
 
[Rolls eyes] Do we have to do this again? Because I honestly can't be fucked.

Also, aha! Somebody rated one of my old posts... somebody who is not listed as having replied yet...

@chunacbe



Welcome.

Please, nobody scare them off.

No, after that. At the hotel in Geneva, when he booked her the honeymoon suite. Pity for him that, pretty as he looked, Rei had serious jet lag, and the bed looked even better...

That Rei was... decidedly different to this Rei. As was Kaworu for that matter.

Aaaanyway, moving on before a mod squishes us for the line of conversation we're having.
 
I now have a mental image of a Section 2 agent seeing Rei and Kaworu on a date and just going "...Okay. Never asking Akagi for a hangover cure again..."
