Shinji was sitting on the examination bed and was putting his shirt back on. After he and Ritsuko had finished their little talk, the doctor did what she was supposed to do in the first place, checking him up (in the medical sense). She had done the usual routine exams, taken a few samples and made him pass a few tests. Right now, she was sitting in front of a computer, working on the data she had gathered.
Shinji smiled and hugged Ritsuko from behind "So, doctor, what is your verdict?"
"Well, the good news are that I can't find anything wrong with you... yet" answered a happy Ritsuko "Quite the contrary in fact..."
"How so?" Shinji asked as he massaged her shoulders and playfully trailed her neck with soft kisses.
"Uuuummm..." Ritsuko closed her eyes and groaned, enjoying Shinji's little 'treatment'. It was little things like that which proved he cared about her. Another reason why she loved him so much. Since admitting to herself she loved Shinji, she had never felt better and more free "Uuuuh... You'd better stop... Ooooh... Doing that if you want me to... Aaaaaah... Tell you"
"You want me to stop?" said Shinji in a teasing tone as he was putting more effort in his task.
Ritsuko didn't put up much resistance but still managed to get her point across "Aaaannn... No... Not really, but... We have to..." She turned her head and kissed him "We've been in here long enough, Shinji. We'll take up where we left tomorrow, okay?"
"All right..." Shinji stopped and went to a nearby chair to sit down "What can you tell me?"
Ritsuko smiled a little contented grin, showing off her legs and cleavage to her young lover. His obvious appreciation was heartwarming, especially when she knew he lived with two gorgeous females "From all the scans I took of your body, I can estimate that your physical age is approximately between eighteen and twenty-one years old. You're stronger and quicker than before the incident"
"I knew that already..."
"Patience, Shinji-kun. Your test results are also impressive. In fact, you got a perfect score in each one of them. Vision, hearing, hand-eye coordination, reflexes... Many if not all of your senses are more acute now"
"Now that you mention it, I believe you're right. Food tastes... more than it did. I think my sense of smell is stronger too. Generally, I don't pick up Asuka and Miisato's perfumes yet this morning..."
"There's more. You know that listening to your SDAT with earplugs is slowly damaging your eardrums, right?" Shinji nodded "Well, according to the scanner, your eardrums are completely intact. When you took the same scan when you arrived months ago, it showed a few minor lesions. Normally, this kind of damage never heals..."
"Oh... It's good, right?"
"Yes, more than good. The blood test shows nothing in particular. No signs of any harmful side effects of your fast growing either. You seem to be a totally healthy young man" Her eyes wandered to his lower parts "A fact I can personally vouch for... You naughty little boy, you"
Shinji blushed and squirmed under her gaze, embarassed "So there's nothing wrong with me?" He sighed in relief, thanking his good fortune.
"I am still waiting for some results but apparently, no. But you must remember that there is only so much I can find out from these tests in one session. Long term effects can only be detected with regular examinations"
"I understand... Besides those tests are not going to be that annoying as long as you do them" Shinji winked at Ritsuko and the two smiled before breaking out into laughter.
"Shinji... I think it's time I let you out of here. Misato must be frothing at the mouth with worry for you. It's been, what?" She checked her watch "More than two hours? My, how time flies fast..."
Shinji stood up and Ritsuko did the same. Before letting him go, however, the doctor gave him something "It's an electronic agenda. It will help you keep track of when you have to come here for check-ups, synch tests and other things... My working hours are highly variable so it will facilitate your life. NERV is paying for it so..."
"Thanks, Ritsuko, this will be very useful" He kissed her on the lips. She eagerly reprocitated "Tomorrow, after school, then?"
"Yes, I'll be waiting, Shinji. And don't forget... Even if you must be Rei's boyfriend in public, I'll always be there for you" She kissed him again, longer this time "For luck..."
Shinji nodded. They stood like that, looking in each other's eyes the whole time, for a while longer.
But it was time to go. Ritsuko unlocked the door and it opened, allowing Shinji to leave. He knew he would return, however.
