Oh my God.


Title: Only In Dreams.



It's hard to walk. At 3 in the morning, coming out of being drunk, and tired walking is indeed hard. Especially when you were
promised a ride only to find you can't get one, and are left to walk home.

'Shinji, i'm positive I could give you a ride back home, I'm not drinking and your houses is on the way home, no biggie.'

I 'Hmphed' loudly as I played over the scene in my mind. Stupid Touji, shouldn't have trusted him. Should've known he'd have
met up with Hikari at the party. 'Sorry Shinji, Hikari asked me for a ride home, and she's all over me.' He smiled and gave me a little
nudge. 'You know what that means.' I spat and continued to walk.

"It means I have to walk15 miles in the rain, thanks Touji," I stated to no one as I walked down the street. Idle, except for my figure
often casting shadows due to the
streetlights. A car passed by, I didn't turn to look up though I could see it out of the corner of my eye take a right turn down the street.

"I wonder if Misato is awake still?" I thought to myself, in light of seeing a pay phone a few yards ahead. I reached out grabbing
the phone handle and placing it up to my neck, holding it by tilting my sideways, pressing it against my shoulder and head. I quickly swiped
my phone card down, and typed in numbers.

How come you know if the phone isn't going to be answered by the first 2 rings? And true to the case, the answering machine
kicked on. I sighed and hung up. "Well ain't that a bit-" The phone rang. I cocked an eyebrow at the phone, contemplating on who the
caller was. I snatched the phone once again and placed it to my ear. "Hello?"

"Shinji?" Asuka.

"I just called and there was no answer."

"Well, some people like to sleep at 3 in the morning," she growled loud enough for me to hear.

"Oh, ha sorry Asuka. I'm stuck halfway across town and wanted to see if Misato was there."

"What happened to that idiot Touji, wasn't he supposed to give you a ride?" there was a large emphasis on the 'idiot' during
that sentence.

"No, He's at Hikari's house most likely.." I didn't want to get too deeply into that matter. "Is Misato there anyway?"

"She's still at HQ, I doubt she'll be home anytime soon."

Sigh, "Kay... I guess I'll be home in a few hours then.. bye."

I started to pull the phone from my ear, but managed to catch "No, it's okay Shinji. I'll pick you up."

"Really? Ha thanks Asuka." I quickly tilted my head up to the street sign. Still a bit drunk It was hard to make out the numbers. I
squinted very tightly and was finally able to make out the numbers.. or something closely related to them. "I'm on 35th and 14th."

"God, I have to get dressed so I'll be there in about 20 minutes. So just stay where you are."

"Really, thanks a lot Asuka, see you then."

"Yah yah, Just remember this next time I need something stupid. Be there soon." *Click* I latched the phone onto the hook and
looked around my surroundings. I spotted a bench and quickly decided to sit down. Starring up at the sky, not thinking of anything in
particular, it's pretty understandable how one could fall asleep under these circumstances. Which i'm not ashamed to say, is exactly what
happened to me.

"Idiot," I was quickly awoke. This being by a certain 'red haired devil' she really lived up to her reputation. With eyes half awake, the
red hair could be mistaken for skin and with screaming profanity, she seemed like one. "Stupid Shinji." I finally snapped out of it and wiped
my eyes open. "Honestly Shinji, I had to search all around for you." She lifted me up off of the bench and I quickly swiped her hand away.
"You didn't even tell me the right street, I was searching for you about an hour."

Although yawning I managed to let out an 'I'm sorry Asuka'. She sighed and turned quickly to my car. Yes, my car. Misato had
neglected to tell us about a our salary, until about a 2 months ago. Actually, It was my 18th birthday. I had just got my licence, she surprised
me with my bank statement. I, Shinji Ikari, am a very rich man. It wasn't a very ritzy car, though I prided myself on it. It was a 2018 BMW, the
color.. silver. Expecting Purple?

We both walked to our expected doors and slouched into position. Though, still very groggy I turned to my right to look at her. She
started to drive, and I turned back to look out toward the open road.

"So..," I finally let out, softly.

"So," she retorted. "What happened tonight, Anything worth knowing about?"

I looked down to the clock: 3:45, then turned my head back up to Asuka. "Heh, Kensuke hooked up with a girl." This 'caused an immediate
outburst of laughter from her. "Yah, it's pretty funny. Though she wasn't that bad looking..." I turned my head back toward the road once again,
though grinning emensly. "Oh, and did I mention it was Ayanami?" Even I had a chuckle at this. She calmed down a bit and felt contempt with a smile
on her face.

"Wow, figures those two would find each other. Kensuke the nerd and Ayanami the freak," Asuka spoke out, while making a left turn. I smirked,
I was glad for them. Ahh, whatever.

I reached up scratching my chin, feeling a bit of stubble, growing back from 2 days of no shaving. "I didn't think you'd be one to jump and
give me a ride Asuka." I say without looking toward her.

"Don't get any ideas, I just couldn't leave you to walk home. That would be very cruel." She turned to look at me for a second. "Even for you."

I let out another 'Hmph', but this time in more of a happy tone.

Walking up the stairs sucked really bad. But the nagging and pushing behind me made me trudge through it. "Walk faster," and "Hurry up,"
not exactly words of encouragement, though they did help me speed up my pace. Upon reaching the door, I pushed the small button and entered
slowly, stretching out as I made my way toward the kitchen.

"I'm going back to sleep"

I turned to look at her and nodded. "I think i'm gonna make something to eat." She nodded and turned to walk away, "Ah.. Asuka."
She turned her head back around. "Thanks a lot for the ride."

"No problem," she gave me a cute smile and made her way back to her room, opened the door, turning her face just enough so I
could see one of her pupils looking at me. "Idiot," and with that she stepped inside the darkness which was her room.

I shook my head, a smug smile on my face. I plopped down in the chair, looking toward the kitchen. "Now.. what to eat?"

Uh, I'm gonna end it here. Why did I write this??? I have no clue. I just wanted to show a more human side to the Eva kids. Or maybe i'm
trying to write some of my life into thestory. By the way, the reason the characters are soooo OOC is because of this. This is based on a
world I created myself. Read the fic 'Hold My Hand..' I posted it a while ago. That was humor, this is not, but I'd rather have it set in that
time line then in the real Eva.. too depressing. I don't know what I'm gonna do with this fic, I'm thinking a few chapters.. about Shinji/Asuka.
I HATE REI... don't ever expect to see her in any of my fics, ever(Without her dying, or limbs falling off). Just comment and we'll see what happens


Yours truly,

The Locust.
