Chapter 4

"Are we...alive?" Touji asked, timidly.

"I guess...I don't see any angels here with wings and halos if that's what you're asking," Kensuke replied, looking around amid the confusion in the air among the other people in the shelter. The two boys then heard a running sound from behind. They turned around to see Hikari running up to them.

"Are you two all right?" she asked worriedly, bent over from running a bit too quickly.

"Yeah, we're fine. What about everyone else?" asked the bespectacled boy.

"As far as I can see, no injuries whatsoever," the freckled girl paused for a second. "I hope Ikari and Asuka are all right, wherever they are."

"Oh yeah, they're having the time of their lives right now," Touji smirked. The jock then started singing, "Fly me to the moon, and let me--"

*Twack!*

"OW!"

"Now is not the time to make crude jokes like that!" the class rep scolded. Touji could only cringe while Kensuke just shook his head in silence.

ONBOARD THE SDF -- IN A PITCH-DARK AREA

Shinji's head buzzed and he slowly opened his eyes. And all he saw was nothing but a pitch-black void of sorts. Slowly his eyes started to adjust to the dark and he could see details on the wall and other things lying around.

'Ugh, where am I?' he thought. He realized that no one was next to him, or near him for that matter. "Asuka!" he yelled out. He only got his echo back in reply. 'I was in a jeep, then I started seeing triple, then I flew off the jeep with Ayanami,' he trailed off. Then his head shot up in realization. 'Ayanami!' He got to his feet and started to look for her. Fortunately, it was a small room so he found her in a matter of minutes, thankfully in one piece.

Shinji got down to his knees on top of Rei. "Ayanami! Ayanami! Wake up!" Shinji shouted down at the still-unconcsious albino. A few seconds later, her eyes slowly opened, revealing those red irises Shinji couldn't help but find fascinating. "Ayanami! Are you OK?"

"Ugh..." she let out, and moved her head to the sides to see where she was. She then looked back up at him. "I am fine,"

Shinji's face then changed to a smile. "Thank God," he mumbled quietly and got off of her and sat next to her. Rei slowly sat up, making sure she wasn't hurt anywhere. Both sat quietly for a few minutes until Rei got up and approached a wall.

"We should look for a way out of here," she said in her usual soft voice. Shinji barely picked that up and looked at her first in confusion, then agreed and got up and approached her. "We should split up and look for a door or a window," she suggested.

"Umm...OK. I'll go to the right," Shinji answered, pointing to his right. Rei nodded in agreement and went to the left, her hand on the wall feeling for any noticeable differences in the wall structure. Shinji did likewise, towards the left. Both kids kept going their ways, raising their hands up and down every now and then, without any success of finding a door or a window, or even a ventilation opening.

Eventually, since it was a small room, both met up again, but didn't see each other because they were so engrossed into finding a door of sorts. Their hands were headed towards each other without either of them realizing it. Then they made contact, Shinji's hand on top of Rei's and both looked at it with surprise. Shinji was stunned for a second, then most shocked. He immediately retracted his hand.

"I...I'm sorry!" he apologized loudly, with his head bent away from Rei. He was thankful the room was dark enough that she couldn't see him blushing furiously. (A/N - so much like Love Hina eh?)

Rei at first was stunned about the minor skinship. However, she felt......pleasure......from the contact. It was like a mother comforting her, telling her everything would be fine. She then said what Shinji least expected.

"Please put your hand on mine again."

Shinji was dumbfounded to say the least. "Umm...excuse me?"

"Please put your hand on mine again," she repeated, without any change in tone or volume whatsoever.

Shinji was somewhat surprised, now that he was sure about what she said. He did as she asked, and brought his hand back. He tentatively placed his hand back on hers, more nervous than ever. Rei could feel his shaking through their contact.

"Ikari. Please relax," she softly instructed. Shinji then took deep breaths, trying to calm his nerves and his racing heart down. After a few breaths, he was calm, more or less.

Then the feeling of relaxation that Rei had slowly took over Shinji as well. He couldn't help but observe how smooth Rei's hands were, with no scars or elevated marks whatsoever. He then took the hand on hers and slowly moved up and down Rei's hand, enjoying the smoothness and amplifying that feeling of relaxation, on both sides.

Rei on the other hand was enjoying the feeling immensely. As Shinji's hand moved around on hers, she had a tingling sensation that she couldn't quite put a finger on but felt most pleasant. Then something clicked. She wanted more. She wanted more of this pleasant feeling. She wanted more of this contact. She could do only one thing.

(A/N - for those certain people, this is NOT a lemon, and they are NOT going to have sex)

She grabbed and hugged Shinji, tightly. This Shinji did not expect at all from a girl who did not say much, if at all, and showed little emotion. He was so surprised he just froze there, like a statue. Rei took both her hands and put it on his back. She did what Shinji did to her hand and slowly rubbed her hands across his back. Shinji felt two hands roaming across his back and instead of freezing up like earlier, relaxed. He took his hands and just clasped around her back, bringing these two teens very close. Both enjoyed the attention one was giving the other, Shinji the backrub and Rei the feeing against his body.

"Let's lie down," Shinji softly whispered. Rei nodded, against his shoulder, and both slowly got down to the floor. Soon, they were lying on their sides, still connected to each other with a hug and a rub.

"Ikari-kun,"

"Shinji," he corrected. "Call me Shinji."

"Hai." Rei paused. "Shinji, that was most enjoyable."

"H-hai," Shinji stammered, his stuttering coming back. "A-ayanami?"

"Rei," she corrected.

"Hai," he answered. He then felt Rei snuggle against him more, bringing his blush back to him.

"Shinji, I would like to sleep like this. Is this acceptable?" Rei asked, even softer than before, if such a thing was possible.

Shinji took this the wrong way for a second and was about to burst out with a nosebleed before his conscience took over and re-analyzed what she just asked. "Hai," answered the usually timid boy, now replaced by some spine. Both teens got closer and soon fell asleep.
