Shinji and Asuka 
-Life after Eva
By James

"Asuka?" called Shinji as he closed the door. 
It had been a little over a year since the defeat of the final angel. Misato had moved far away 
with Pen-pen and left the apartment for the children—but not before revealing that Eva pilots, 
like all government workers, did get paid for their services—a lot. She had kept their accounts a 
secret and had decided to allow them access when the time was right.
"Don't spend it all too soon. Save some for college, and afterwards," she had said.
That certainly wouldn't be too hard.
Shinji smiled where he stood and thought about the kindest person he had ever known.
Then he went and sat down on the sofa, engaging in a few memories.
Before leaving, Misato had made Shinji and Asuka promise that they would try to get along and 
be there for each other. Both had resisted at first—her more so than him—but eventually they 
broke their silence and remembered what it was they liked about each other. They remembered 
their hidden feelings, and above all, they remembered that they didn't want to be sad anymore.
This eventually led to a closeness neither Shinji or Asuka ever imagined possible—not with each 
other or anyone else. One they both remained skeptical about as it developed, but soon enough 
realized was real. They were heading down a road called "happiness," and through several 
activities each week, they became more and more eager to travel it together.
One night, Asuka found herself speaking a bit too loud when she declined a movie invitation. "I 
can't go with all of you tonight," she said to Hikari over the phone, "I'm staying in and watching 
something with Shinji."
She suddenly gritted her teeth and hoped that he hadn't heard.
Later on, they were enjoying a romantic comedy airing on TV. They laughed, discussed certain 
parts…and accidentally touched hands in the popcorn at one point.
Asuka looked at Shinji for a few seconds, who shyly turned away.
"That girl reminded me of Misato," said Shinji.
"…You miss her a lot…don't you?" asked Asuka.
"…Yeah," he replied, staring at the floor.
Asuka wasn't sure what she was feeling, but it seemed to be jealousy. She really thought that he 
would have been over Misato by then. She really thought that the two of them were becoming 
close. She really thought she could finally let her guard down and enjoy herself. She had even 
thought about returning to college in the fall—when Shinji would start.
"But I'm really having fun here with you," said Shinji soon afterwards.
Asuka was surprised, and found herself fighting a smile, but not for very long.
They had fallen asleep on the living room floor. The next morning, Asuka found herself stunned 
again when she woke Shinji—and realized that the smile on his face was due to seeing her.
"Umm…it's my turn to wash the dishes," she said quickly and began walking.
"Oh…okay," said Shinji as he felt a little shy.
Shinji felt something else as he watched her legs as she walked.
"Wait…I can't…Asuka's…I shouldn't be feeling this way," he thought to himself nervously as 
he looked away.
At the sink, Asuka found herself dealing with her own feelings. "He wasn't…smiling at 
me…I…it's just…Ikari…I mean Shinji…I can't be feeling this way."
As time passed, they kept spending it together and discovered they had a lot of feelings in 
common. They began confiding in each other very often at night, and also found it fun to 
compliment each other when the time was right. This eventually led to another kiss between 
Shinji and Asuka—and an overall feeling that neither were familiar with. All either of them 
knew everyday was that it was there because of the other.
--"Asuka?" called Shinji again on the sofa.
There was no response.
Shinji clicked the remote and began watching TV.
"Shinji!" called Asuka in a rather irritated tone from a bedroom.
Shinji turned off the TV and sprung up. He spoke as he headed towards the room. "Didn't you 
hear me?"
"Yes idiot," said Asuka as he approached.
"Then why…" Shinji stopped upon seeing a sight that always left him in awe.
Asuka was on the bed, completely naked.
"Oh…" said Shinji as he stood in the doorway.
"Well…do you need directions?" asked Asuka.
"…Nope," said Shinji as he entered the room and closed the door.
After removing all of his clothing, he was about to step over to the hamper when Asuka stopped 
him.
"Just put them over there with mine," she said motioning to a pile of clothes on the other side of 
the bed. "What? Is my little Shinji embarrassed to make love to me and wear the same clothes 
afterwards? Think they'll give you away to people on the street or something?"
"Stop teasing me," he said as he followed her wishes.
"But I have so much fun doing it," she replied.
"…Did you say…'little, Shinji?' " he asked.
"…Don't know how I could have said that," said Asuka as she looked him over, then brought her 
eyes up to his.
Shinji crawled on the bed and Asuka sat up on her knees. They closed the gap between them, 
feeling their bodies touch as they embraced in a passionate, loving kiss.
Asuka brought her hands down to touch Shinji's shoulders, then down to his member, and soon 
broke the kiss and pushed him back a little.
Holding Shinji's knees, she kissed down his chest and soon pleasured him with her mouth. Shinji 
moaned and gritted his teeth a little, while bringing his fingers along her bottom and back.
Soon enough, Shinji pulled Asuka up and kissed her again, easing her on her back with his own 
body. Shinji's mouth moved to her neck, and slowly made its' way down to her breasts. He took 
his time, savoring the moment as he kissed and suckled them. Asuka moaned and clenched a fist, 
refusing to let herself go as she stroked Shinji's neck with her other hand.
Shinji sensed her struggle, and moved himself downward to brush his face against her thigh, 
tickling the backs of her knees with his hands as he went.
Shinji sat on his knees, bringing his hands to massage up and down her legs, enjoying the way 
she felt as he stared at her body. One of Asuka's feet rubbed against Shinji's chest, then stopped 
under his chin. Shinji took it in his hands and gave it a deep kiss, then brought her toes into his 
mouth afterwards.
Asuka relaxed her toes, staring at the ceiling as she brought a hand to softly play with her 
breasts. Shinji opened his eyes as he suckled, and noticed, which got him a little more excited. 
Asuka realized, and brought her other foot to gently tease his member.
Shinji moaned a little.
Asuka continued.
Shinji moaned a bit more, warning her that he was reaching his limit.
Asuka silently kept it up.
"Hey!" said Shinji as he emptied his mouth.
Asuka giggled.
"…Here I am…trying my best to make it last…" he said.
Then Shinji crawled up to Asuka's face, kissing it softly. "I love you Asuka," he said.
"I love you," she whispered.
Shinji moved back down to her breasts, staring at them a bit before lowering his mouth onto as 
much as he could of her left. Asuka moaned again, and arched her left knee. Shinji stayed in 
position for a while, and closed his eyes. He never wanted to reflect on anything painful again. 
He didn't want to live in the past anymore. He wouldn't. This, was life now.
Asuka brought her hand to stroke Shinji's brown hair, almost as though she knew what he was 
feeling.
Then Shinji moved himself downward again, kissing her stomach and thighs as he went. He 
finally started pleasuring Asuka's most sensitive spot with his mouth, and she freely voiced her 
approval.
Before it went too far though, Shinji again broke contact, brushing against her thigh with his 
member before slowly entering her. Soon, Asuka and Shinji were moving in rhythm, bringing 
each other closer and closer to the end of the song. Asuka brought Shinji's hands to cover her 
breasts, and lifted her leg over his left shoulder.
Finally, a quiet Shinji moaned Asuka's name, as he felt his body surrender to hers. He entered 
her over and over, and over again. Asuka clenched the sheets on the bed and held her scream 
through her teeth.
Breathing steadily after it was over, a weakened Shinji let his head hang low as he rested on his 
knees. He was surprised, when Asuka suddenly flipped him on his back, and switched positions.
Asuka bounced, anxiously pushing herself on him until she reached her peak. Asuka exploded 
onto Shinji and threw her head back, letting out a soft moan. She watched the ceiling and her red 
hair hung down backwards as she finally knew for sure that her life of suffering was over, and 
her life of happiness, with Shinji, was really here.
After a little while, Asuka looked at Shinji, her hair flowing downwards, and rubbed his chest 
with both hands before crawling forward. She positioned herself so that her weaving breasts 
were just above his face, and slowly let herself fall on him. Asuka soon moved to rest on her 
side, and Shinji gently kissed her softness.
Asuka was holding his head in her hands when she bent down and kissed the top of it. Then she 
managed to get up a little, and pull the sheets over them both.
Shinji and Asuka fell asleep in each other's arms, their hearts beating as one. 
--Later, they walked down the streets of Tokyo 3 holding hands, smiling at each other as they 
watched young children play in the park. They arrived at the church, took a place, and got on 
their knees.
It was where they always came, to apologize for making love out of wedlock, and explain that 
they were only a bit too young to marry.
"Asuka's…the best thing that's happened to me in a long time," said Shinji.
Asuka turned to him slightly with a smile.
"I'll always love her and only her."
Then Asuka spoke. "Thank you for bringing me and Shinji together. I'll always honor him…I'll 
always honor us."
"And…once we get old enough…I want to marry Asuka," said Shinji.
Asuka turned to him in surprise.
"…I want her with me always. If she'll have me," he said turning to her shyly.
"…Oh yes…YES SHINJI YES! I love you! I love yooooooou!" she said embracing him.
Soon afterwards, they stood up, gathering the attention of many as they walked, planning to tell 
their friends the happy news.
"Amen," said a pastor, as the couple who would forever be in love exited and walked home.
The End
