Nightshift

Nightshift
Serene

Maya screamed as she woke and sat up in a cold sweat.

The dream, no the nightmare, was so horrible. It was almost like a glimpse in Hell. Just trying to recall the vivid images of death made a chill run down her back. The young woman wrapped her arms around herself as details of the nightmare escaped into the deeper part of her mind as the groggy state of sleep began to fade.

Maya slid her hands down her face, “It was just-“

“Maya! Are you okay!” Shinji yelled as he burst into the room.

An eerie silence was his reply as both of them stared at each other.

Recovering from her shock, Maya blinked as Shinji looked at her from the doorway, “Um… Shinji, why are you in my apartment?” She quietly asked, curious as to why the pilot of Unit 01 was in her bedroom.

Shinji shifted his weight and let out a small sigh now that he was certain of her well-being; however, the task of explaining wasn’t going to be an easy one, “M-Ms. Ibuki, this isn’t your apartment.”

A quick look around the room guaranteed his statement was true.

The entire room was unfamiliar. Unlike the near empty room in her apartment, this bedroom was filled with memories of the people who actually lived here. Despite the unkempt condition of the room, it was still nice. The blue green of the wallpaper matched nicely with the oak furniture and the shades of blue that made up the bed sheets, but it wasn’t at all the room she was interested in.

“Where am I Shinji?” Maya asked as she pulled back the sheets on the bed to find herself in uniform which left her even more puzzled.

The pilot leaned against the frame of the door, “I… I don’t even know myself. I just brought you to the closest house I could find after I found you.” He admitted as Maya made her way to him.

The curiosity that filled her gradually turned into fear as her mind started to rake over the facts she had already gathered, “W-What happened Shinji?” Maya asked directly, unsure if she actually wanted an answer.

Shinji turned away as the frantic look in her eyes proved to be too much, “Third impact.”

The rush of memories nearly caused her to take a step back. The foggy images from her dream came back to life. She virtually relived the experience as she recalled the sounds of explosions and gunfire returned to her ears. Maya silently watched as, one by one, each of the people she worked with, her friends, turn to LCL.

Right as the technicians beside her were turning into the fluid that filled the entry plugs, her supervisor, Dr. Ritsuko Akagi appeared in front of her. With a cheerful expression that stood in extreme contrast to the chaos around them, Ritsuko neared her assistant with what seemed to be an escape out of this hell and Maya gratefully accepting it… Until she looked over her shoulder and saw a floating Rei staring directly at her as if she was passing judgment.

The intensity of the flashback caused as the technician fall to her knees in front of Shinji on the brink of tears. Maya sobbed as the tears started to streak down her face, “It… It wasn’t a dream.” She cried.

Not being capable of anything else, he replied, almost automatically, in one of the only ways he knew how, “I’m… I’m sorry Ms. Ibuki.” Shinji took another look at the grieving woman, sympathized with her, and was about to step out of the room until she stopped him.

“Shinji, please don’t leave me alone,” She pleaded as she started get her composure back in place, “Please…”

His conscious assured that a ‘No’ wouldn’t be coming from his mouth as he turned back towards Maya. As this technician got to her feet and started to wipe the tears away, Shinji remembered that he was the one at fault for her heartache… even if it was indirectly, “Ms. Ibuki…”

She didn’t have to almost come to begging him to stay. The simple thought of being that cold reminded him of his father and that was certainly one person he didn’t want to be like.

“You didn’t have to ask,” Shinji’s face tinted with a bit of color as he finished his statement, “Y-You can come with me… I wasn’t intending to leave you alone even if you wanting me to.” Shinji honestly said until he realized how stupid it seem seeing that he was just about to leave to give her some time to herself.

Maya was truly thankful, “Thanks Shinji.”

He scratched the back of his head as his blush intensified, “Don’t worry about it… I was going to go and get the stuff I left on the beach.”

Maya felt somewhat glad that he switched the subject to something else, “Why did you leave it there?” The technician asked as she followed the boy out of the house all the while taking notice of the lack of electricity.

“I left the food and stuff there since I couldn’t carry it and you at the same time.”

Shinji was slightly amused by the gasp that came from behind him. Maya stopped in her tracks, “Was I heavy?”

He smiled a bit as he kept walking, “No… not at all Ms. Ibuki.”

Maya blushed as it began to register that Shinji carried her here… and was also calling her by her family name, “Ah, please call me Maya.”

Shinji, who was honestly happy to be in the presence of someone other than himself, nodded as both of them walked out of the house.

~*~

It was far worse than she ever imagined but at the same time it wasn’t.

The majestic purples and dark oranges and reds of the cloudless sky were a thing of a beauty that was second only to the fullness of the moon and the bright shining stars. The serene sea of LCL washed on the pale sand of the beach and dragged some of it back into the sea as the waves retreated just as fast as they came.

The impaled Evangelion series all but shattered the beauty of the aftermath of the Third Impact and, if it wasn’t already broken enough, the head of Lillith/Rei stared at them with an unblinking glaze.

Maya was staring to feel woozy at the scene before her. She drew her hand to her mouth as the contents of her stomach felt like they were about to come up.

“Ms. I- Maya, are you okay?” Shinji diverted his attention from his task of putting the canned foods he gathered into a bag he just happened to come across in the house.

The wave of nausea passed as Maya remember she wasn’t facing this alone, “Yea…”

“After I woke up,” He started before resuming his task of collecting the things he left, “I looked around for other people but, when I didn’t see anyone else, I started to search for what I need and that’s when I came across you laying over there.” Shinji pointed at the slight indentation in the sand.

Shinji stood up with the bag in hand, “I got everything Maya.” He quietly said still unused to calling the pretty technician by her first name.

She nodded and began to follow him back to the house while still taking the look around. Maya noticed that, despite the look of things outside, that most of the buildings and houses were still erect for the most part but, with the people who inhabited them missing, it felt like a ghost town.

“I’m…” Shinji’s voice almost made Maya jump, “I’m sorry Maya.”

“What are you apologizing for Shinji?”

“Everything’s my-“

“No!” Maya’s face was flushed with color when she realized she raised her voice, “I know you did you best Shinji… besides if it wasn’t for you it would have been worse.” She said as she recalled the numerous times he put himself in danger when facing the Angels.

If anyone knew how hard the pilots worked, it was Maya. With every synch test, battle, training simulation Shinji, Rei, and Asuka were pushed to their limits and beyond in some cases. Maya couldn’t find him at fault for Third Impact… Although she still didn’t understand exactly what happened, she knew or at the very least hope that he didn’t intend for this to happen.

“I don’t remember everything but,” Shinji halted, “I really started to understand…” He mused over the statement as Maya turned him with a perplexed look on her face.

“I mean I started to see how I quietly pushed people away from me,” He explained as he tried to find the right words, “People talk about how much they don’t want to be hurt but, in the end, nothing changes…”

“I have to… accept the fact that I’m going to be hurt sometimes because that’s what it means to a person.” Shinji whispered with an air of determination surrounding him.

Finding no need to continue the short conversation, Maya followed Shinji towards the house as they fell into a comfortable silence.

~*~

The contents of the pot boiled as the flames under it flickered. Maya watched the food cook with the occasional soothing breeze reminding her she was outside. She wondered where Shinji learned cook outside while she poked at the ramen on her plate.

The ramen wasn’t all that good but Maya took hold of some of it with her chopsticks and raised some of it into her mouth. She happily swallowed the food despite the fact that she didn’t enjoy the taste of them all that much.

Taking her attention off the plate on her lap, she turned to Shinji who sat stirring the ramen in a pot he confiscated out of the house. He looked at ease as he raised the can to his face and read the instructions printed on them. Following what he read, he picked up the glass cover and placed it on top of the pot as he took it off the fire.

Shinji looked over his shoulder, “Do you want some more Maya?”

“You didn’t even eat any yet Shinji…” She pointed out as she set her plate on the ground.

“Oh, I was going to get some later.”

“Where did you learn to do this Shinji?” Maya asked before placing more of Shinji’s cooking in her mouth.

He took a seat on the ground in front of her as he started to think back, “It was when I ran away once… I just so happened to meet with Kensuke while he was out camping and he taught me a lot of stuff.”

Maya remembered the trouble that Section Two had with keeping up with Shinji’s sometimes. She already knew of Kensuke. As a matter of fact, she knew most of the people who made up Shinji’s class since nearly all of them were a potential pilot.

“I used to go camping with my family before I went to college,” Maya set her plate aside, “My father always made me go fishing with him but I disliked it since he complained when I caught more than him.”

Shinji looked Maya up and down, “I didn’t figure you’ll be one to go camping.”

Maya pulled her knees up to her chest, “Yea, I always liked things like that.” She said as memories of her childhood started to come to mind.

She rested her head on her knees, “I wasn’t really a tomboy or anything… I used to be made fun of because I wasn’t like the other girls though. I never told anyone but being called a nerd and a tomboy really hurt…”

Shinji suddenly stood up, “Y-You’re not a nerd or tomboy.” He stuttered while failing to hide his blush.

As he retreated to retrieve his food, Maya smiled for the first time since she woke up. She was thankful that she wasn’t alone and even more grateful for the fact that it was someone like Shinji.

“T-Thank you.”

~*~

Days quietly passed and all the while nothing seemed to change but Maya was content with thing the way there were. While she hoped that they’ll come across people soon, she honestly didn’t mind spending her time with the bashful pilot of Unit 01.

But sometimes they did go their separate ways and now was one of those times.

Maya softly exhaled as her hand neared the fabric of her panties. Thankful that she disposed of her stockings in the corner, she caressed the folds of her sex through her panties. With one hand, she delicately slid her hand under her panties and started to rub her clit before inserting a finger inside herself.

With a moan, she raised her hand to her subtle breast and gave it a slight squeezed as she began to slide her finger out and slipped two in. Stimulated by the constant rubbing of her clitoris by her thumb and the massaging of her breast, the pace at which her fingers entered her picked up.

Everything about her started to feel hot and hazy as she drifted off into a state of pleasure, ultimately defined by the dampness between her legs and the speed at which she satisfied herself. Maya’s breathing started to grow shallow as she changed the tempo of her fingering by slowly having her fingers slide in and out of vagina.

Still… In the heat of the act, the technician forgot one vital thing.

A sound roused Maya’s attention from her task. Tilting her head in the direction the sound came from, she found herself looking at a door creaking open.

“Maya, I found-“

She forgot to lock the door.

Shinji dropped the bag he held and looked at his roommate who blankly stared back at him. Both of them gazed at each other allowing the awkward silence to descend onto the room.

It almost seemed like a dream… Surreal in the fact that she was exposed to him in such a light but, in an instant, the silence was broken and reality of the situation made its presence known with Maya’s soft but stunned voice.

“S-Shinji…”

Knocked out of his daze, Shinji attempted a hasty retreat as his lips already begun to mutter his apology.

“Wait Shinji!!” Maya screamed catching him off guard, “Wait…”

Unsure to why she stopped him, she watched him look over his shoulder and then leisurely turn around as if he wasn’t sure if it was safe or not. Maya blushed heavily as she followed his line of sight directly to her.

More than anything, she was confused. About her feelings, what she was thinking, about the situation, about Shinji… but she was certain that no one ever looked at her like that or ever saw her like this.

Shinji…

He did everything.

No matter if it was cooking, cleaning, or even going out to get what they needed, he was the one who did it but not out of some twisted form of pride or because she was a female but because it was the right thing to do. He always looked out for her first and overlooked himself despite the fact that he obviously took the entire workload on his back.

He pampered her and she let him do it. Yes, he was almost spoiling her and she didn’t have any problems with it at all.

And what did she do? Enjoy his company?

In all honestly, he would be better off without her here but she could at least do something for him now.

Nervously pulling up her skirt, taking off her panties, and spreading her legs just that much wider, Maya turned towards Shinji and started to touch herself again in front of him. With her legs open, he could easily make out the pink petals of her sex as she slid her fingers over them before inserting her fingers back into her vagina.

Resuming her task, she blocked out everything except the warm feeling between her legs and the craving for pleasure that caused her to go faster and deeper with each go. With soft whimpers escaping her mouth, Maya brought her hand down from her breast and used it to further divide the lips of her womanhood allowing as she continued to finger herself.

A solid gulp from the doorway reminded her that she had an audience and, suddenly, she felt a shock. Being watched while engaging in something so personal was pushing her to the edge and she liked it. With a final look at Shinji, who’s eyes were set at the at the area between her legs, she felt the floodgates of ecstasy open.

Maya withdrew her fingers as she fell back on the bed as her orgasm finally came.

Her back arched and her hips buckled as the ecstasy of the event overwhelmed her. It was the first time… The first time she felt this good and it was because of him.

Not entirely recovered from her state of bliss, Maya turned her head back to Shinji who stared back at her. He stood, almost unmoving, in the doorway and his line of sight was completely and directly on her.

Maya shivered, the feeling of being watched made her feel so vulnerable but at the same time it made her feel so open… so good.

“Shinji…” Maya whispered causing him to jump at the mention of his name, “Come here.”

Nervously, he took step by step until he was a mere foot away from her. Sitting up, the technician firmly reached out and took hold of his hand. She could sense, no she could feel his uneasiness about the situation and she didn’t, even if she wanted to go on, want to force Shinji to do something like this if he didn’t want to.

She licked her lips, “Do… Do you want to do this Shinji?”

Almost as soon as he nodded, her hands were working at his belt and finally his pants. Before long, Shinji was standing in front of her with his pants pooled at his ankles.

Maya looked up at Shinji’s face and then administered a quick tug at his boxers. The undergarment met with the rest of his clothes and he quivered as his erection was released from the confines of his boxers.

He cringed slightly as her cool fingertips were placed on his shaft but the minor discomfort was all but forgotten when Maya applied her lips to the head of his manhood.

Taking great care not to rush things, she parted her lips and lowered her mouth onto his dick. A loud groan escaped from Shinji who never felt anything like it as Maya slowly bobbed her head up and down his manhood. It was so warm and moist but the best part about it was how her tongue swirled around the tip.

Again, she drew her head back and slid her mouth up and down his member covering it almost completely in her saliva and Shinji didn’t have any problem with it at all. Almost lost in the utter pleasure of the act, he placed his hand on her shoulder to support himself and she, in turn, placed her hand on his balls and started to fondle them.

With her lips locked around his penis, Maya started to suck. The sensation… was too much. Her tongue lapped at the head of his manhood as she sucked like she was trying to get something out of him and she certainly did.

“Oh… Oh God…” Shinji muttered as he felt the familiar feeling of his orgasm coming. His knees felt weak as he finally came and shot his seed into the mouth of his lover.

She was glad. Thus far, he did everything with her well-being in mind and she could finally make him happy. With those thoughts in mind, Maya swallowed, to Shinji’s surprise, his seed.

Despite what went on, Maya blushed. This was her first time with anyone and the awkwardness of the situation became apparent when Shinji noticed the look on her face, “Did… Did I do something wrong?” He inquired surely hoping that he didn’t because that would put an end to this happening again.

“No!” She stated as she looked him in the eye, “It’s just… I’m a virgin.” She adverted her eyes. She probably had opportunities but… she was just busy and she couldn’t find the right guy. If she wanted to she could-

Shinji squeezed her shoulder reassuringly reminding her that his hand was there, “Don’t worry… I am too.”

Maya broke the strangely tense atmosphere with a chuckle, “I would expect you to be Shinji but…”

The amused expression on her faced turned faintly serious as she laid her hand on top of his, “I don’t mind if it’s you Shinji.”

She reached for the zipper on her uniform but Shinji got to it first. Maya reclined back slightly to allow him to undress her and that was exactly what he did. She slide her arm out of the sleeve and her other arm followed as the uniform was cast aside on the side of the bed.

A chill went down her spine as he touched her. Not on her breasts or between her legs, but on her waist. Shinji tenderly grasped her thin waist as he climbed on top of her. His eyes looked her up and down and he could see her cheeks flush with color as their eyes met.

For once, Shinji took the initiative and lowered his head until their lips came into contact. Maya opened her mouth and allowed his tongue inside as she fought to unclasp her bra. As the kiss deepened, Shinji fumbled around to find her breast and massaged it through the lace causing her to moan softly as their tongues danced in each other’s mouth.

Breaking the kiss she wished to continue, Shinji gave more attention to her breasts as he raised his other hand to her neglected breast and started to squeeze it, taking delight in the small whimper that came from Maya.

Her breasts were petite but their overall fullness made up for it. They were just right size to grope and, as Shinji started to prove, do other things.

With the clasp unlocked, Shinji all but threw it to the side as his mouth descended on her breast. He clutched the sensitive mound of flesh just enough to get as much of it into his mouth as possible as he, like she did before him, sucked as hard as he could, his other hand almost furiously distorting the shape of her petite breast with each squeeze.

He could fell her body nearly convulse under him as he continued his task, slowly pausing with each moment in order to twirl his tongue around her areola.

Shinji’s hand wandered towards her crotch and he began to rub in the same motion he witnessed from her earlier as he pinched her nipple, which was quickly becoming hard, between his lips.

As he rubbed her sex, he could feel the moisture there and on her inner thighs. The soft moans of Maya urged him forward as he kept rubbing and occasionally brushing his fingers across her clit.

“F-Feels so good…” Maya thought out loud, the idea of voicing what she wanted him to do sounding better with each passing moment, “Shinji… I’m ready.”

Understanding completely, he nodded and got off of her. Maya spread her legs and Shinji stood at the edge of the bed. She licked her lips in anticipation as she slid forward allowing her legs to dangle over the edge.

Lifting her delicate, long leg and placing it atop his shoulder as he moved in closer, Shinji paused before his dick actually came into contact with her sex. As if he was waiting for confirmation, he waited for a sign to come from Maya before he proceeded.

With a simple nod issuing permission, he slowly but surely guided his pelvis forward until he could actually feel his penis come into contact with the sensitive folds of her sex. Shinji used his hand to direct himself into her as he slid his member across her vagina in hopes of finding the spot.

And he found what he was looking for when the head of his penis slipped snuggly into her. Shinji could barely contain himself… Unlike her mouth, it was tighter. Almost to the point where he didn’t know if he wanted to move in order to savor the feeling.

He slowly drove himself in deeper until he was met with some resistance. He knew what it meant and halted again, but Maya was already aware of the situation.

“Please… be gentle.” She uttered the order almost automatically, the thought of him being deeper inside her sweeping away any ideas of the pain of having her hymen broken.

He carefully withdrew his penis out of her and steadily forced it back inside. With the gentlest thrust he could muster, he took her virginity.

Maya bit her lip as the pain of the act finally reached her, but she quickly recovered as the feeling of Shinji tenderly driving his dick in and out of her came as well. With one hand implanted on her inner thigh and the other holding her leg on his shoulder, he forced all of his length into her and her mind went blank.

Any train of thought that she would by chance pick up was easily broken by the careful, secure pace of which his pelvis met hers. That warm feeling of being one… being whole spread through her body so quickly that she believed it to be a dream.

Shinji pulled Maya towards him as he started to invade her faster and faster with each stroke. Being extremely careful to heed her words, he slowed his pace as his member slid into the tightness of her vagina and out again.

Yes, he had to take this as slow as humanly possible… Shinji wanted to relish every second of the intimate act and he was sure Maya did too.

Instead of going faster, he went slower with each thrust. Bringing the head of his shaft out of her and then gradually guiding himself back into her.

Maya clutched the sheets as he repeated the process, inserting himself fully into her each time. She couldn’t even explain the feeling with conscious thought, much less words, as Shinji continued to make love with her.

She drifted into a different plane of pleasure that was on a completely different level of any before that and, before she knew it, her orgasm arrived to meet her there. The walls of her vagina clamped down on his penis as her juices spilled forth and she began to pant.

Shinji, however, was still in that dream like state of ecstasy as he, despite the tightness, continued to guide himself in and out of her at a steady pace until the feeling finally overwhelmed him.

He ejected his sperm into her and withdrew himself. Suddenly feeling as tired as she was, Shinji crawled back onto the bed and laid on top of his lover. As she drew her arms around him, pulling him into the most welcoming embrace he was in, Maya sighed with content, still unable to speak because of the bliss she was in.

Snuggling his head on her, Shinji softly whispered the words that he knew didn’t have to be said, “Hold me as long as you want to…”

Author’s Note: Hmm, Shinji and Maya chapter complete.

I still think I did the best on the second chapter but I also think I did a better job setting the mood here. I mean, besides the actually sex stuff, the mood is the most important.

I know someone out there is going ‘The damn? Shinji/Maya AFTER Third Impact?’ so I guess I’ll expand on that also. Well, I could have made up something easy just as easy but I figured that it’ll be better if it was a period where Shinji was close to his usual self but not exactly and End of Evangelion was perfect. You see, this was originally the plan for the Rei chapter but Maya’s shy and cute personality seemed to fit more with the bleak setting. Oh well, enough of my rambling. o.o
