But this time, it wasn't for one of his regular reasons, like being in a battle with an Angel.
For him, this was much worse though.
The reason for that was standing right in front of him.
He sort of doubted that Doctor Akagi had realised what the current situation was doing to him. To him, it looked like she was merely doing what she was supposed to, and as the consumate professional he thought she was, he expected that. Yet, the examination itself wasn't even starting yet, and he was already sweating.
That was due to the fact that he was finding himself paying close attention to her body, something that he'd only done casually before. When she knelt, he noticed that her shapely legs were encased it tight hose that hugged every curve. As she reached over her equipment tray, he saw how her skirt pulled over her bottom, showing it so nicely. He noted that the zipper on her blouse was pulled down so that it gave a hint of the valley between her cleaveage. It didn't help when he saw her lick her full lips as she concentrated on something.
All of those were places that he had touched, pressed, or tasted, and he was reliving those memories at that moment. Yet, for all the remembered pleasure, he was also wondering just how she had taken it. He'd seduced her, made love to her, and he still had no idea of how she'd taken it. Misato might have been in favor of a continued relationship, but this was Doctor Akagi, and she'd always been in control before. Just because she was continuing on in a professional level did not mean that she might not find ways of showing him her displeasure with him.
Not that he would blame her, what with the way he'd... used her to settle his lusts, despite the fact that he had thought it only a dream.
Finally, she turned to him, and frowned as she did so. "Shinji? Is something wrong?"
He gulped for a moment, and looked like he was going to talk calmly and thoughtfully.
Then his anxiety set in and he broke. "I'm sorry!"
"Pardon?"
"I didn't mean to make love to you without finding out if you wanted to first! Not that it wasn't great, but I should have not taken advantage of you like that! You're probably mad at me now, and I don't blame you, because it was wrong of me to make advances you probably didn't want! I just thought that you were so attractive, and I didn't know that I wasn't dreaming, so I figured, what the heck, if I'm not going to get into trouble, I might as well try to see what I could do with such a wonderful woman! But I did get into trouble and you're probably going to stick me with needles full of drugs..."
Putting one hand over his mouth, she gave him a reassuring smile. "You're not in trouble."
"I'm not?"
"No, you're not."
"But I thought..."
"You know what I thought?" she asked rhetorically. "I thought that you were a wonderful young man who gave me pleasure like I have never gotten before. That what we did was special, and far from being angry, I'll treasure it for the rest of my life. And that not only would I not mind a repeat, I might actually want to... see if we could do it again."
The Third Child's eyes widened as he looked at the woman before him. "You would..?"
"Yes... You have to understand, my... experience has been with guys who only want to have the pleasure that bedding a woman that they find attractive would give them. None of them ever tried to give me more than they wanted to recieve, and for you to do that... I've never felt better after making love before. If you can call those other times that."
"But why? I mean, you're beautiful and smart and classy and professional and a whole lot of other things... Why not try to take care of you?"
"Oh Shinji," the faux blonde told him, and stroked his cheek, "They never saw me that way. I've never seen me that way. I'm just... I've done things that I'm not proud of at all, and you're making me feel better about myself just like this..."
"I am? That's good, right?"
"Very good."
"I'm glad. I was really worried that I'd gotten you mad, Doctor Akagi."
"Ritsuko."
"Huh?"
"It's my name. My given one. I'd like you to call me by it."
"You would?"
She nodded. "Being this close, I can't see it otherwise. We'd have to be formal in public of course, but in private, we can be more... intimate."
"Okay... Ritsuko."
"Thank you Shinji-kun."
"No, thank you," he told her with obvious honesty, "Just thinking that a woman like you would want to... you know... with a guy like me, it's so... amazing."
"You're so wonderful, you know that?" she said as she leaned close to him.
"Nah... I'm just glad that you're happy with me."
"Very," she whispered as he cupped her cheek.
"Good."
Rather than replying verbally, she pressed her mouth against his in a soft kiss, wrapping her arms around him in a comfortable embrace. He returned it, and held her tight against him, paying less attention to the way that her bosom pressed against his chest and more about what he was sharing with her at that moment.
Right then they were not doctor and patient, nor were they ranking officer and pilot, but simply a man and woman enjoying what was between them while:
