The operations planning tonight had been finished much earlier than expected so there was no need to pull another all-nighter. Just as she was about to enter, she noticed that the lights in the apartment were still on. "Are those two still up?" she thought and decided to eavesdrop for a while to find out what her two charges were up to. "Ummm. Mmm. More to the left, Shinji. Yeessss." "Hmmmm." "Aaaah." Asuka went on for a few more minutes. "Ummmmmm. Okay, Shinji. Just let me change position.... right. Back to work." "Jawohl mein fuhrer. Heil Asuka." "Yes, I'm glad you realize you're only fit to be my slave. Ooooooh! That was sooo good... ummmm." "Aaaaah." "Oooh." "Mmmmm." And on she went. Meanwhile, ear pressed against her door, Misato was debating whether or not to burst in on the two of them. After much consideration, she turned around and headed to the nearest bar. * * * At breakfast the next morning, Misato observed both Shinji and Asuka very carefully. Shinji, in his apron, was serving breakfast. He was just like he usually was except that he looked just a little tired and occassionally snuck a quick glance at Asuka. The object of his attentions meanwhile was definitely Miss Sunshine. She smiled broadly as she ate her breakfast heartily. As Shinji, sans apron, returned to the table and settled down into his cup of tea, Misato decided to strike. "So what were you both doing last night before I got back from headquarters?" Shinji nearly choked on his tea. Asuka, on the other hand, seemed completely unperturbed. "Television. Homework. Sleep," she shrugged. "Really? Anything else? Anything at all?" Shinji was blushing as he set his cup down on the table with shaking hands. Asuka's brows were furrowed in thought, her finger on her chin. "Oh come on, you two. 'Jawohl mein fuhrer. Heil Asuka?'" Shinji turned even redder. Asuka's eyes lit up and she exclaimed,"Oh! Last night! Yeah! Hey, you tell her, Shinji!" Shinji could only stutter helplessly, overwhelmed by his shyness and embarrassment. "Oh come on, Shinji! You can tell Misato. She probably just wants you to service her as well." All the colour drained from Shinji's face as he clasped his hands over his mouth. "Asuka!" Misato was really shocked at how casually Asuka was treating this whole matter. "This is something very special between you and Shinji-kun. How can you talk about it like that?" "Why not?" "Asuka! You and Shinji-kun have just become one in body and soul... don't you feel anything about it?" "What are you talking about, Misato? I would hardly call getting a foot massage becoming one in body and soul!" Misato was very confused. "Foot massage? You mean the two of you didn't... didn't..." "Didn't what!?" Asuka demanded. Shinji looked like he wanted to hide under the table. "You know..." said Misato reluctantly. "That...." Asuka's eyes widened again. "Oh mein Gott!!! Misato! How could you think I would demean myself like that! Shinji's a wimp and a pervert! I wouldn't get with him even if he were the last male on earth! Augh! Yuck!!! That's disgusting!" Misato had already fallen off her chair. * * * Asuka and Shinji were walking side by side, on their way back home from school. The former was humming a tune while the latter looked positively downcast. "Hey Shinji. Why so gloomy?" "Asuka... I..." "Oh, stop giving me that sad puppy dog look. What's the matter with you!? You've been like that the whole day!" "Did you... did you really mean what you said this morning?" "Hmm?... Oh that. Of course not! You have to thank me for my quick thinking. Otherwise Misato would have had both our asses." "I'm sorry, Asuka. Thanks." "That's better. You're such a lousy liar." "Sorry." "Oh, you can make it up to me later," said Asuka as she casually reached over and pinched Shinji's butt. "Misato's working late again tonight." End. * * * Notes I'm really a Rei person but Asuka can be fun to write, especially when she's in character. The idea for "Jawohl mein Fuhrer" came from a Calvin and Hobbes strip. It was Calvin's response to Rosalyn's (his baby-sitter) instructions. The phrase "Heil Asuka!" seems so appropriate given Asuka's German heritage and her domineering nature. In "Allo Allo", this device was used to great effect. A whole room of people saluting and screaming "Hail Hilter!" one after another. Then Hilter himself emerges from a doorway - looking short, pompous and slightly disoriented - and declares "Hail myself." Comments and criticism welcome!
