Stay with me Part 4

Asuka slowly staggered up the flight of steps to the roof, she had had a terrible night yet not because of her nightmares, which was always the angel prying her deepest darkest and most private thoughts, and shattering her inner sanctum and resolve as if they weren't even there, removing the "Almighty Asuka the Great" and leaving the scared young girl Asuka, feeling frightened and all alone, screaming for het long lost mama, and hearing no reply, and this torment kept happening every time she tried to close her eyes and sleep.

Yet as she slowly climbed the last steps to the roof she began to think about what she had been thinking about last night, which was about the raven haired boy whom she had once despised, yet now she was having difficulty not thinking about him, about how he had always stood there and taken her beatings, and never even so much as raised an arm to defend himself, how he had stood up for her when the boys at the school started getting a bit too excited, and how he had taken a massive beating without so much as one complaint, even though she had brushed it away as nothing before, Asuka was starting to realize how much this boy had done for her, how much he had given up and sacrificed to keep her safe and happy, and how much pain he had willingly received to keep her out of harms way, and the thought of how badly she had treated him for it made her cringe, the fact that this boy was under attack from his father and the angels at "Work" most of the jealous boys at school and him and Misato at home allowed Asuka a brief insight into why the boy hid within a shell, and it scared her.

And with this final thought in mind Asuka slowly walked over to Shinji, and sat down beside him feeling that at the time they could both do with each other's company, and even though Asuka wasn't going to be admitting it any time soon, she had found over the last couple of days she enjoyed the young boys company, and the same could be said for Shinji, as he had come out of his shell a lot more lately, and although Asuka was unaware of exactly what had caused it, Shinji had gotten a lot more courage since the Third Impact, and this was another thing that intrigued Asuka, admittedly he was still prone to fear, but for example as Asuka sat next to Shinji, before he would have looked frightened and backed away, yet now he looked her in the face and gave her a weak smile, as though he was too busy with something else in his mind to be frightened of the fiery redhead beside him, and this fact worried Asuka, although this was something else she would never admit to, though she had to admit, keeping her secret from becoming completely discovered was getting harder as each day passed, the intense warm feelings of a dependence and a caring for the boy were becoming quite prominent, and were scaring the girl.

Though these thoughts quickly left her head as she heard a small sob from the boy next to her, he was… crying…?

Asuka quickly flew into a rage, all sense of sympathy gone for the boy, and she raised her fist, and was about to let loose on the boy, until he started speaking…
