Chapter Seventy-Eight: Confession
Chapter Seventy-Eight Confession
"But if you go on like this...... I'm going to be distressed. โ
"Huh!?" Hearing Shinji's words, Asuka who had been keeping her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes. Even the tender shoulders trembled a little, I don't know if it was because the weather was getting cooler at night, or something else.
"You just ...... Say what? โ
I said...... I'm going to feel sorry for you training so hard. Ignoring Asuka's surprise, Shinji continued slowly. I don't understand why you're training so hard, I don't know what you're worried about or what you're avoiding. I only know that you are getting thinner and thinner, and it will make me feel distressed. With that, Shinji staggered slightly and lay down side by side with Asuka, and at the moment Shinji moved, Asuka brushed her pretty cheeks aside, not wanting Shinji to see her expression.
"If I could, I'd like to ask what I did wrong to make you avoid me so much. Why the hell are you training so hard? Shinji's tone was very strict, and there was a feeling that people couldn't refuse.
โโฆโฆ Because, you are so good. โ
โโฆโฆ Outstanding? โ
"That's right...... That's right! It's because you're so good! Asuka's love became agitated, and her delicate body flipped and pressed Shinji to the ground. Holding Shinji's collar with both hands, he kept shouting. "Do you know that because of your talent, everyone's eyes are focused on you. Do you know that because of your excellent fighting, my combat results have always been overpowered by you. Do you know that because of your excellent character, my heart began to become confused. Do you know that because of your whole person's excellence...... I can't help but like you idiot!! โโฆโฆ At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the surroundings were very quiet, even the gentle breeze stopped. Until the young man under Asuka spoke......
"You just ...... Say what? The same words, this time from Shinji's mouth. Facing the hoarse Asuka, Shinji froze. Indeed, Shinji has always had a crush on Asuka. But he never thought that Asuka would also have feelings for him, he always thought that Asuka had always liked to bless Mr. Blessing alone.
"I said, I like you! Stupid Shinji! I like you!! After saying that, Asuka threw herself into Shinji's arms, and the tears in her ice blue eyes soaked Shinji's clothes. For the first time, Asuka unreservedly vented her inner emotions, and in the few years she lived with the blessing, Asuka had not done so, and she had expressed her heart to the blessing more than once. However, unlike today, this time Asuka did not have reservations. Instead, he did not hesitate to vent all his feelings to the young man who was pressed under him. Shinji, on the other hand, was lying there in a daze, not knowing how to face the girl in his arms.
After a long time, Asuka gradually stopped sobbing.
"Originally, I thought that I would always like to bless my predecessors. However, from that time of solitary life, you broke into my world strongly. Lying on Shinji's chest, Asuka said tremblingly. You know what, stupid Shinji, on the night of the last day of our solitary life, what you said made my heart start to mess up. โ
"Huh?" Shinji came back to his senses. He looked down slightly at the girl in his arms who was still a little choked.
"I don't want to be a savior, I just want to use my power to protect all the people I love and love me, so that they can live in this world in peace and happiness." Asuka repeats Shinji's words. "Warm...... I've never given a real definition of the word, but, after that night, I seemed to grasp it dimly, but alas, it was just a dream. Asuka smiled faintly, smiling very sadly.
"After that, the battle of the Eighth Apostle, huh...... I really don't want to mention it. Asuka got up and sat on Shinji's body. His hands pressed against Shinji's chest. The long orange hair looked a little messy, probably because of the cry she had just cried, and a few strands of textured hair stuck to Asuka's cheeks. "Stupid Shinji, why are you trying so hard to save me, if you didn't save me, maybe I could kill it myself and find myself. But...... Why! Saying that, Asuka's love became excited again. Crystal tears slid down the girl's pretty cheeks again.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโa.tfieldโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
โโฆโฆ Asuka. I'm sorry. Faced with such an Asuka, Shinji's head seemed to be blown up by an N2 mine, and he couldn't find any words to face.
โโฆโฆ After that, I traveled to the hot springs, and I thought that calling the blessed seniors to go with me could dilute my feelings for you, but God did not fulfill people's wishes. I saw you and Ayanami intimacy at the hot springs, and it was only then that it became clear to me that I had fallen completely. Asuka wiped the tears from her face and laughed miserably. I thought I could catch that warmth, but I was wrong. You and Ayanami are a couple, and I'm just a spectator. โ
"Asuka, I'm ......" faced Asuka with a gloomy gaze. Shinji was speechless again.
"Say no more, stupid Shinji." Asuka interrupted Shinji's words. "I'm ready to come to your senses to tell you this, but after saying it, my heart is much more comfortable, I don't want to disturb your life and Ayaba's life because of my appearance, after all, you two are a couple."
Asuka's eyes were gloomy, and her orange bangs covered her delicate face. "Thank you, Shinji, for giving me a new definition of warmth. However, I guess the warmth that belongs to me may not have come yet......"
"......" time stands still again for two people. Asuka sat on Shinji's waist like that, her ice-blue eyes turned gray because of her master's affection. That bleak, lonely expression was all taken in by Shinji.
โโฆโฆ Asuka ...... I just want to ask one question. There was a brief silence, and Shinji asked softly with a look of solemnity.
โโฆโฆ You ask. โ
"You...... Longing for that warmth? โ
"Huh?" Hearing Shinji's question, Asuka's eyes shrank slightly, but she still stubbornly turned her head, not wanting to answer Shinji's question.
There were no superfluous words, Shinji just looked at Asuka quietly, hoping to get her answer. Facing Shinji's eyes full of sincerity, Asuka's heart fluctuated again, this time, reason failed to overcome her heart, although it was very small, but, Shinji clearly saw the girl's head lightly clicked.
A smile of pity hung on his lips, and Shinji reached out and pulled the girl's arms around his chest. With a coquettish cry, Asuka who lost her balance immediately fell into Shinji's arms, and before she could react, Shinji wrapped her hands around the girl's delicate body and held Asuka tightly in her arms.
"Stupid Shinji, what are you doing!" Asuka Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, struggling hard, but how could her strength compare to Shinji's? "Hurry up and put ......"
"Don't talk." Shinji interrupted Asuka's words, and then his arms tightened again. "Asuka, please listen to me."
After struggling for a long time, Asuka couldn't move at all, so she had to say with a hint of reluctance. โโฆโฆ What do you want to say. โ
"Huh...... Actually, I don't know what to say. Shinji smiled faintly. After you said those words to me, I don't know why, my heart felt extremely peaceful at this moment, and all I can say is, thank you, thank you for being willing to open up to me and say what is really in your heart. Shinji's hands let go slightly, giving the girl more space.
"So, I don't care what tomorrow will bring, no matter how things will play out in the future, whether you will continue to like me tomorrow, or ignore me from tomorrow. No matter what other people think of me, even if Leigh is leaving me, I don't want to think about it now. Because now, I just want to convey that warmth to you again, even if it's only for a few minutes, so please let me hug me quietly for a while. I think that's the best response I can give to your inner thoughts. โ
Although "......" did not speak, Shinji could clearly feel the girl in his arms trembling slightly after his words fell.
After a long time, a shy voice reached Shinji's ears.
"Stupid Shinji...... Only tonight. After saying an affirmative answer herself, Asuka gave up the struggle and leaned into Shinji's arms instead, no more words, a young man with tenderness in his eyes lay on the green grass, and in his arms, a young girl who longed for warmth was quietly leaning on the boy's chest. It seemed as if a few minutes or hours had passed, and the peace had not been broken until the girl's slightly choked voice came out.
"Now, stupid Shinji, why are you so good?" Asuka rubbed her cheek against Shinji's chest. Finding a comfortable position, he asked.
"Excellent? Hehe, I never thought I was good, I was just doing my best to fulfill my promises. โ
"Promise?"
"Ahh Promise. Shinji reached out and rubbed the girl's orange hair, and said softly. Didn't you just say that? The reason why I drive the EVA. โ
โโฆโฆ What does that have to do with promises? โ
"That's what I used to say to Leigh. You hadn't come to Japan yet, so now I want to say what I said to Rei again. โ
"Huh?"
"Hehe, didn't you just say that? The reason why I drive the EVA. โ
"I don't want to be a savior, I just want to use my ability to protect and love myself and the people I love, so that they can live in this world in a stable and happy way...... Is it? โ
"That's right." Shinji pulled Asuka to sit up, but Asuka still knelt on Shinji's waist, the posture of the two people was very ambiguous, but it did not affect the current love between the two, but added a romantic sense of happiness to the warmth of this moment.
"After that reason, I would like to add a special word." Shinji smiled softly, one hand wrapped around Asuka's slender waist, and the other hand wiped the tears from the girl's face.
"That is. I want to protect the people I love and who love me...... And you are the one I want to protect. โ
