Doubt

Touji slammed his hand on the desk, “I’m tellin’ ya! She kicked his ass!”

Kensuke placed his camera on top of his desk and turned to face his best friend, “Touji, she only punched him...” The boy quickly remarked, too busy looking footage he got of the fight to bother with his friend.

“Yea!” The jock looked over Kensuke’s shoulder at the display on his camera, “She hit ‘em with a one hitter quitter though!”

Shinji sighed as he laid his head on his desk. The whole class was in an uproar over the fight between a boy and girl that happened during lunch. While he would agree with Touji since she did knock the boy out; he couldn’t say Kensuke was wrong in pointing out it was nothing to really get excited about.

Thoughts of the fight itself started to filter out of his mind as he started to think of the girl herself. Satsuki Kitaoji, from what he understood, was a pretty brazen and direct girl. Even if her personality reminded him of Asuka, her appearance was indeed a vast difference from all the rest of the girls he knew.

Idly, he lifted his head off his desk and looked at the girl.

In similar fashion to Asuka and Rei, she stood out among the girls in the class. Her long chocolate brown hair hung behind her in a pony tail as she leaned back in her seat. With closer examination, Shinji noticed she was a few inches taller than most of the girls and even a bit taller than he was. Another thing he noticed was that her uniform was too small. Her skirt was so short that, if she moved her legs, he would be able to see her…

“Idiot,” Asuka’s shrill voice made him immediately snatch his eyes away from his classmate in fear that his fellow pilot saw him, “She only won because he didn’t have the balls to hit her back.”

“He couldn’t because he was knocked out.” Kensuke pointed out.

“Shut up.”

Shinji almost fainted in relief. If Asuka caught him looking at her the pervert insults would probably never end and, frankly, he could do without her making fun of him every minute.

Sadly, the act didn’t escape the attention of one of his fellow classmates. Deciding not to start an argument with Asuka in defense of his friend, Touji chose to have a bit of fun with Shinji, “Hey Shinji… Ya were lookin’ pretty hard at Kitaoji over there. Ya want to get beat up too?”

Before he could retort, Kensuke nodded, “Yea, she hit the poor guy since he tried to look up her skirt or something like that. Don’t want to see you knocked out or anything.”

Shinji gulped.

Kensuke chuckled at the look on his friend’s face, “Well I don’t know. You already live with the Devil herself so you might have a chance.”

“What was that stooge!?!”

“He called ya a- Ouch!” The jock yelled as Hikari pulled his ear in order to prevent another fight today.

Kensuke laughed at his friend’s ordeal as the class representative proceeded to yell at him like she normally did as she somehow managed to hold Asuka back at the same time.

The pilot turned his head away from the antics of his classmates and prepared to get some well deserved rest before the teacher came into the room. Again resting his head on his desk, Shinji closed his eyes and started to drift off into a nap.

“Ha, Red is scared dat Kitaoji is gonna take her husband.” Touji said, thankful his ear was now free of Hikari’s hand.

Shinji’s eyes snapped open, “What?!” He and Asuka exclaimed in nearly perfect unison.

“Touji!” Hikari yelled as she advanced back on the boy who evaded her this time.

Asuka’s bright blue eyes were on fire as a blush crept onto her face. She held up a shaking fist at Touji who stuck his tongue out at her, “You better cut it out with the newlywed jokes before something bad happens to you stooge!” The redhead stated amidst the laughter that erupted from nearly the whole class.

“Let’s…” Touji continued to move further away from Hikari’s hands, “Let’s have a bet then Red!”

“You’re on!” Asuka yelled before even hearing the conditions.

“Shinji gets up and ask Kitaoji on a date and I won’t make the jokes anymore.” The jock stated before attempting to slide behind a desk to avoid Hikari who managed to catch his ear.

The class quieted down and all attention turned on the pilot who least desired it.

“W-What are you waiting for idiot!”

Shinji sat up in his seat, “The… The jokes don’t really bother me that much…”

His words caused Asuka to only get more embarrassed, “Well they bother me! Just do it!”

His heart started to beat faster as he got out of his seat and started walking to the back of the class. The closer he got to her seat, the more he could feel how nervous he was. He knew he had the attention of almost everyone in the class based on the fact that it was so quiet he could hear his own footsteps.

‘It’s… It’s nothing to get nervous about,’ Shinji thought as he looked up, ‘She’s going to say no anyway.’

The first thing Shinji’s eyes met were not the skirt that barely covered her thighs or the uniform that was a bit too small. Satsuki’s caramel brown eyes stared directly into his ocean blue. He never noticed how beautiful her eyes were and was being drawn into them like he was in a trance.

Before he knew it, he was in front of her desk and their eyes were still locked on each other. Time passed as they continued to stare at each other and nothing happened until Shinji cleared his throat, “Would you… go on a d-date with me?” He said with obviously difficulty.

“Yea.”

“E-Excuse me?”

“Yea,” Satsuki grinned, “I’d like to go on a date with you.”

In a stunned silence he shared with the rest of the class, Shinji couldn’t move much less form any sense of logical thought.

Sensing that he wouldn’t say anything, the brunette took it upon her to make the details, “Will tomorrow work?” She asked, the small grin still spreading across her face.

Still speechless, he could only manage to nod his head.

With that finished, she returned to leaning back in her seat and Shinji started to go back to his desk. Arriving to his seat, he looked at almost everyone from Asuka whose jaw was still on the floor to Hikari whose hand wasn’t even applying pressure on Touji’s ear.

As the teacher entered, the first thing heard was not the usual order for the class to stand, bow, and sit but a quiet whisper from a boy as he went back to his seat.

“You win…”

~*~

Shinji leaned on the wall near the entrance to the fast food restaurant. Satsuki insisted that they meet here and Shinji went to the point of even writing down the address so he would be able to find it considering he never even heard of it before.

‘I’m lucky I got out without having to put on the clothes Misato told me to wear.’ He thought as he shuddered at the thought of himself wearing a fancy suit. His guardian got word, from Asuka of course, that he had a date and took it upon herself to tease him as much as humanly possible.

“I hope she doesn’t mind me wearing my uniform…”

“I don’t.”

“That’s go- Ah!” Shinji jumped as the girl suddenly appeared on the side of him.

Satsuki laughed as she stood before the boy dressed simply in a white tee shirt and a pair of denim jeans. Still, Shinji noted, she looked very good.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” She smiled as she gestured towards the doors, “So have you ever had pizza?”

Shinji thought and couldn’t recall ever hearing of it, “No, I don’t think so.”

Her warm smile became wider, “I’ll show you something good then!”

Without another word, her hand wrapped around his wrist and she pulled him through the doors with her. The moment they entered the scent of the place filled Shinji’s nose and he was reminded of how hungry he really was.

He looked at some of the tables people were sitting at and, ultimately, saw the pizza she spoke of. Although he never ate any before, he would be lying if he said that it didn’t look good.

Shinji was so caught up in looking around that he almost walked into Satsuki when she came to a stop in front of an empty table, “Take a seat. I’ll be back after I order okay?”

The pilot watched his classmate walk off and then took a seat. While the place wasn’t exactly the top of the line, the dark green wallpaper and gold trim gave the place a slight Victorian touch that he didn’t really match most of what was on the menu. Still, it was of little significance given the thought that many people didn’t seem to come in to eat anyway.

“The pizza will be here in a while,” Satsuki mentioned as she returned from making the order, “We can talk until- Wait, why are you getting up?”

Her question was answered as Shinji pulled her chair back before she got to the table. Satsuki blushed as she took a seat and allowed Shinji to slide it under the table.

“No one ever did that for me before…” His classmate said as she continued to blush.

“Sorry...” Shinji said before sitting back down.

“N-No! It’s…” The blush on her face took a darker shade, “It’s a good thing to do.”

For a while, the two teenagers didn’t face each other as an awkward silence fell between them. Taking the initiative again, Satsuki took it upon herself to make conversation, “I picked to come here because I work here. That way we can get a large for half price.”

Shinji nodded, “Oh, that’s why you’re absent a lot?”

“Well yea… sometimes I just don’t like going to school.” Her brown eyes looked down at the table as she continued to speak, “Everyone just thinks I like to fight and argue and stuff.”

She placed her elbow on the table and rested her chin in her palm, “I guess I do like fighting and arguing but that’s not all I’m about… I can be kind and stuff too.”

It wasn’t until she said it that Shinji noticed that how she was acting was far more than a drastic change from the way he heard she normally behaved. The angry girl who was hitting someone not more than twenty-four hours ago was the same girl who smiled and accepted to go on a date with him.

“I’m… tall for my age too.” She looked at the pilot, “I guess it’s kind of a turn off to be with a mean tall girl huh?”

“Y-You’re not mean… and you are only two or three centimeters taller than me.” Shinji said honestly.

She smiled, “You know, that’s why I wanted to go on a date with you.”

Shinji stared at her, “Huh?”

“It’s because you’re kind.” Satsuki tilted her head as her brown eyes looked back at her classmate, “I know it sounds selfish but I knew that you’d make me feel better.”

“The guy I punched yesterday was my boyfriend.” She laughed, the truth sounding as amusing as a joke, “He was supposed to be anyway.”

“What happened?” Shinji asked before he could stop himself.

“He was just messing around with me…” He regretted asking when the joyful expression on her face became a blank one, “He thought I was just a friend with benefits or something.”

“What’s that?”

A sad smile graced her face, “You know, a friend you do it with… not a girlfriend.”

The girl chuckled at the puzzled look on his face proof that he still didn’t understand, “A friend just for sex.”

“Oh…”

“I didn’t mean to make you feel bad or anything with my stupid stories…” Satsuki said as she continued to look into his eyes.

“I’m glad…” Shinji turned away from the girl, “I’m glad I could make you feel better.”

“Shinji…”

She was interrupted as the pizza landed on the table and attracted the attention of both Shinji and Satsuki. The girl who served the pizza winked at her co-worker, “New boyfriend?”

They blushed, “No… he’s a friend and thanks for taking my shift today.”

The young woman waved Satsuki off, “No problem, it’s just more money for me.”

“You took off work for this?” Shinji asked, oddly felling touched that someone would make time for him.

“Yea, I wanted to do this today.”

Satsuki pulled a slice of pizza off the tray and put it on a plate. With a smile, she handed the plate to Shinji who smiled as he accepted it.

~*~

“Oh, I didn’t know it was like that...”

Shinji nodded as they walked to the apartment he shared with Misato and Asuka, “Yea, if they really didn’t need me I would have left a long time ago… not to sound conceited or anything.”

Satsuki smiled and rubbed her hand in Shinji’s hair, “You have to stop being so insecure! I bet you are the kind of person who kicks ass but is too modest to say you do!”

Shinji blushed, “Not really… Asuka and Ayanami have real training. I’m kind of just learning things for real now.”

“Well,” She removed her hand from his hand and brought it back to her side, “I had a really good time Shinji. Best fun I had in months.”

He turned to his classmate as they walked, “Me too.” Shinji said as he shared a smile with the brown haired girl.

“I’m glad we got to know each other Shinji,” She buried her hands in her pocket as the apartment came into sight, “You’re probably my best friend now…”

He stopped, “Really…?”

“Yea, I don’t really talk to anyone at work and people at school don’t even know me for real,” She paused as she put more thought into it, “You’re the first person I really talked to like this.”

Shinji thought for a while, “I’ll… listen to anything you have to say.”

Satsuki playfully punched him in the arm, “It’s amazing that you don’t have a girlfriend.”

Shinji scratched the side of his face, “I guess I never really tried and I thought no one would really be interested in a guy like me.”

“Are you kidding me?” His classmate pointed at her shirt, “You’re practically the first guy I talked to that didn’t stare at my chest all day.”

He coughed as he recalled that he did take a few glances, “But I… I almost looked up your skirt once.” Shinji admitted.

She laughed as Shinji blushed, “What you want to see my panties? You could have just asked.”

Thanks to the constant teasing from his roommates Shinji had the ability to counter any tease directed towards him. Despite that, his whole face was red, “I-I already get enough teasing from Asuka and Misato.”

Satsuki leaned forward, “Who said I was teasing?” She whispered in a low, seductive voice.

“Satsuki…”

“Come to my apartment and I’ll give you a reward for treating me to a good time.”

“What about your parents and-“

“I live alone,” Satsuki said as she cut him off, “Do you still want to come?”

“Yea, but we don’t-“

“We won’t do anything you’re uncomfortable with.” She said, interrupting him again.

Any further debate about the matter was not discussed as she took his hand and led him back through the city to the apartment she owned. While a few words were muttered, nothing of importance was said as they walked.

Some of the street lights started to come on as they walked the street. Absentmindedly, Shinji’s eyes came to rest on their joined hands and, when she noticed, she squeezed it as she smiled at him.

The first thing that entered his mind was not the fact that it was the first time he actually held someone’s hand but the fact that it felt so warm.

“We’re here.”

Surprisingly, her apartment complex wasn’t far from Misato’s apartment.

Taking his sight off their hands, he looked up at the building.

The structure of the apartments was almost just like the apartments he lived in except it didn’t have an elevator. He followed her up the steps on the side until they got to the third floor. As they got closer to the door, Shinji gulped as he remembered the last thing that happened when he entered someone else’s apartment.

They were there in front of the door marked 311 in a matter of minutes and, after a minute or two of Satsuki fishing through her pocket to get the key, they were inside.

This was his first time being in someone else’s home without it being work related. Stepping deeper into the apartment, Shinji discovered that it was pretty small but more than enough living space for one person.

The lock on the door clicked and Satsuki turned towards Shinji, “Have you ever kissed?”

Satsuki watched him shake his head and took the rubber band off her pony tail which caused her long tan hair to cascade down her back. She certainly had the longest hair he ever saw but that was overlooked as she advanced on him.

“When our lips touch, open your mouth a bit for me okay?”

Shinji backed into the wall, “Okay…”

Satsuki licked her lips, “You’ll like it.”

“You are really going to…”

The only word that came to mind as her lips pressed against his was soft. Satsuki’s lips were so soft. It was the beginning of the kiss and he already liked it.

Remembering her directions, Shinji slightly opened his mouth and was surprised when her tongue slid inside. Satsuki placed a hand on the wall as she leaned into the kiss. Her breasts pressed into him and her tongue visited every area of Shinji’s mouth from the roof of his mouth to his gums.

She smiled as she broke the kiss, “How did you like your first kiss?”

Still in a slight daze, Shinji put together a sentence the best he could, “It… wonderful.”

“Just work your tongue a bit more and you’ll be good at kissing.” Her smile grew in size as he nodded.

“Wait…” Shinji voiced as the effects of the kiss started to pass.

Everything was moving to fast. It was almost like a dream and, even if he wanted to savor it if it really was, he had to question what was happening. Shinji considered that it could be she was lonely but people never kissed people they hardly knew because they were lonely.

He looked into her compassionate brown eyes, “I…”

“It’s okay… That was just my thanks for giving me a good time,” She leaned into him and rested her head on top of his shoulder, “When I accepted the date, I honestly wanted to just try and be friends with you but… do you want to be my boyfriend?”

“I don’t know how to be a good one.”

“That’s alright. I’ll show you how,” She paused and put her arms around his frame, “Just be kind to me okay…?”

Shinji attempted to make it she wouldn’t be uncomfortable but when he shifted Satsuki squeezed him tighter, “Can you let me stay like this for a while?”

He nodded, “Are… Are you lonely?”

“Yea, I’m not a desperate person or anything but,” She smiled despite the fact that he couldn’t see it, “I’m weak for boys like you Shinji.”

“Satsuki, you…” Shinji looked at her, “You don’t have to ask me to be kind to you…”

“Do you mind if I ask for another kiss?”

He blushed, “Not at all…”

~*~

“Satsuki, you still have some bread crumbs on your face.” Shinji pointed out as they walked to school with Asuka.

“Help me out Shinji,” She yawned, “I’m too tired to do it.”

Asuka looked over her shoulder at the two. She and Shinji were walking when he spotted the girl and asked her to join them. Even now, as they neared the school, she wasn’t exactly sure of their relationship.

The pilot of Unit 02 turned her attention back to the things in front of her as Shinji relented and actually brushed the crumbs off the girl’s face for her.

Satsuki laughed, “I was kidding! I didn’t expect you to do it for real.”

Shinji started to grin with his girlfriend, “You told me you weren’t a morning person so I believed you.”

Seeing her chance, Asuka spun around to face her roommate, “Hey Shinji, you never told me about the date.”

“Um, you never asked.”

The redhead pointed at the pilot, “I’m asking now then!”

Satsuki and Shinji exchanged looks with each other and Asuka knew they were up to something. Of course it had to be a joke they were playing on her. A cheerful Satsuki was one thing but seeing Shinji happy was too rare a sight to disregard.

“We had a lot of fun.” Shinji meekly replied as he continued to walk forward and pass the red haired girl.

“Wait!” Asuka yelled, “Why did you come back so late?”

Shinji did something she would never expect him to do to anyone, much less her.

He waved her off as he continued to walk away.

Asuka did not like being ignored and she was about to make that fact known to her fellow pilot until someone answered her question.

“He was with me.”

Satsuki calmly looked at Asuka who stared back at her. When Shinji’s roommate didn’t say anything else, the taller girl walked off and left the pilot to herself as she followed Shinji into the school.

Although she still didn’t like school, it felt better going with Shinji than it did before. Things were going pretty well considering that she was so sudden in asking him to be with her.

She wouldn’t lie to herself and say that he fully accepted to be her boyfriend. It was more than obvious that he was half, if not fully, forced into the position.

He didn’t even ask her on a date because he wanted to.

Shinji was too kind to say no to her offer and she took advantage of it. She wouldn’t go as far to say she manipulated him into being with her but she knew fully well that she was using him to make herself feel better.

Had they been using each other it wouldn’t have been such a big deal to suddenly stop seeing him but Shinji was with her because she wanted him to be.

Not the other way around.

This was the very thought her mind held as she sat through class. As the teacher kept on with his speech, Satsuki pondered about how far she was going to advance her relationship.

Shinji was already one of her good friends and, if she ended it, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he never spoke to her again given the fact she was the one that pretty much made him her boyfriend.

It was confusing. She liked him but she lusted after him. She wanted to end the relationship before she hurt him but, at the same time, she didn’t want to break up.

Satsuki sighed as she placed her elbow on the desk and held her head in her hands, “I’m getting a headache…”

“Are you okay?”

“Yea, nothing’s w- Ah!” She quickly turned towards the person who asked the question, “Shinji? Why are you-“

“It’s time for lunch… are you sure you are alright Satsuki?” Shinji asked before he dangled the bento in front of her.

One look around the empty classroom proved that she was indeed thinking too hard. Satsuki nodded as her boyfriend set the lunch on her desk, “Oh… but-“

“I don’t know how to make anything from the menu at where you work but I did my best.” Shinji cut her off again but she honestly didn’t pay much mind to it as she opened the bento.

The smell itself pleased her but, almost the moment her sight feel on the food, she would swear from this day forward that Shinji was probably the greatest cook in existence. Using the chopsticks he offered, Satsuki picked up one of the pieces of fish and placed it in her mouth as Shinji watched.

Normally, she would feel a bit annoyed at being watched but having Shinji stare made her feel embarrassed. When she raised her head to look Shinji in the eye, he instantly noticed his mistake and stammered an apology.

Of course, it didn’t take long to eat the whole thing. Satsuki leaned back in her chair as Shinji continued to stand, “That was good Shinji. I’m full.”

He smiled brightly, “I’ll make it better next time.”

“When are you going to eat your lunch though?” Satsuki asked as her brown eyes focused on him.

“Well… that kind of was my lunch.”

She blinked, “Huh?”

“I have to make lunch for myself and Asuka so I didn’t have time to make a third,” Shinji adverted his eyes from Satsuki’s puzzled look, “I… I made it with you in mind though.”

“You didn’t eat…?”

“I remembered when I didn’t really know anyone in the class and used to eat in the classroom. Since most of everyone left out, I remember that it was only three people who stayed in the classroom.”

“It was me, you, and,” Shinji continued before turning towards his fellow pilot who was still looking out the window, “Rei.”

“What does that have to do with anything Shinji?” You could have eaten some of-“

“I remembered that, out of everyone left in the classroom, only I ate lunch…”

She felt her eyes beginning to water and immediately started to rub them before Shinji noticed. Not only did he notice her back then but this was the first time someone else gave her lunch since her mother used to fix them, “Shinji… Y-You didn’t have to do something like this for me.”

Again, he smiled, “You asked me to be kind to you.”

Shinji was doing exactly what she needed him to do.

He was making her happy.

“Thank you.”

~*~

This was the first time it was quiet on the way from school.

Normally, Asuka would be ranting about how useless he was, how wonderful Kaji was, or the events that took place during school but she didn’t say anything as they walked to the apartment.

The red-haired pilot just walked a few steps in front of them but Shinji didn’t mind seeing that it was better than her walking behind them.

What he was more concerned about was how quiet his girlfriend was. Like Asuka in a way, Satsuki was rarely quiet. It wasn’t that she spoke a lot. It was mostly her body language and, today, she simply walked forward without any of her playful slaps or punches on the arm.

Her ponytail swayed as she walked beside him and Shinji was about to ask if something was bothering her until Asuka turned around.

“Alright! I’m tired of this idiot!” Asuka yelled as she pointed at Shinji and placed her other hand on her hip, “This dumb joke went on long enough.”

Shinji scratched his head, “W… What?”

“You heard me!” Asuka’s harsh glare nearly made him winch, “You can stop faking with Kitaoji. I don’t care if it was some stupid practical joke to get back at me! It’s annoying to have her tagging along everywhere!”

“She doesn’t follow me everywhere and I’m…” He matched her glare with one of his own, “I’m serious about Satsuki.”

Satsuki’s heart skipped a beat as he mentioned how he felt. In a moment, all the thinking she did over how she would break up with him when she felt better made her feel wrapped up in shameful guilt but his words also made her feel needed for the first time.

“I-Idiot Shinji! Did the stooge set this up or did-“

“I told you it wasn’t a joke,” He said cautiously knowing best how Asuka could react to being wrong, “Satsuki is my-“

“Friend…” Satsuki finished his statement for him, “I’m his friend.”

“Ha! I thought so! That stupid jock thinking he can make me jealous with his little joke,” Asuka laughed out loud as she marched to the apartment, “I’ll have something for that stooge tomorrow.”

The brown-haired girl breathed out a sigh of relief and risked a look at her boyfriend.

Shinji wasn’t facing her but instead watching Asuka confidently walk off. Still, she could tell by the way he looked that what she said bothered him.

“She likes you Shinji.” Satsuki admitted as she turned back around, “You can tell by the way she was pressing you.”

“That’s just how Asuka is.”

“It’s obvious how she feels.” She replied as she dug in her briefcase.

Shinji turned towards his girlfriend and looked at her back, “What does that have to do with anything?”

“Nothing… Here.” Satsuki said before she placed his bento in his hands and started to run off towards her apartment without so much as a goodbye.

“W-Wait!” Shinji yelled but it fell on deaf ears as the girl continued to run and then turned the corner before he could even chase after her.

Now having to decide rather he should continue to Misato’s apartment or go to Satsuki’s apartment, Shinji didn’t even have to think about the choices as he made the obvious decision.

The pilot looked at the bento in his hands and headed directly to his girlfriend.

~*~

“Satsuki…”

Shinji knocked on the door for at least the sixteenth time, “I’m… not leaving until you let me in.” He boldly stated but, at heart, he knew it was only a bluff.

Even if he knew that, he was going to hold out as long as he could and, thankfully, she opened the door before he could try for seventeenth time. Satsuki stood in the door way and addressed at Shinji with sad eyes, “…Why did you come?”

“For you…” It was an easy question to answer even if it did embarrass him a little, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. It’s just-“

“I know. You are…” Shinji looked her in the eye, “You’re insecure too.”

Satsuki shifted her weight and looked away.

Taking her reaction as proof, he continued, “I felt the same way when you saw the boy you were with before me. I kind of thought that you were going to forget about me…”

Of course he was right and that was how she felt exactly. Even if Shinji was in a similar situation earlier, it didn’t exactly compare to hers since she knew her ex-boyfriend wasn’t going to try and be with her. She had good reason to feel this way seeing that Asuka liked him, lived with him, and also knew him way longer than she did.

If Asuka made a move on him what chanced did she have? His roommate was prettier, shorter, and more active than she was.

“I just wanted to let you know that I understand… if you just want to be friends,” Shinji gave her a slightly sad smile, “As long as you feel better.”

He knew.

He knew the whole time that she was using him for her own reasons and that it was making her feel like this but he went along with her for her sake. The date, the kiss, and his lunch all resulted from his unselfish kindness and she did nothing but take it at face value.

She tried to justify the situation with reasoning that she was lonely and that Shinji was getting something out of it but it was obvious that she was treating him like her ex-boyfriend treated her.

Like an object.

“I’ll see you at school…”

Satsuki grabbed him, “I… want you.”

Again, it was a selfish desire and, although she really wanted him to come in, at the same time she wanted him to walk away since she was so self-centered. That single statement defined their relationship with each other and how she viewed it.

It was that bold declaration that Shinji relented to, “Alright…”

He shuffled inside, Satsuki hastily closed the door, and the dull click was proof that she locked it. Shinji leaned on the wall beside the door and, the moment she finished the task of locking it, Satsuki turned towards him, “I’m so selfish.” She muttered as she let her hair down.

“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel good.” Shinji remarked as his classmate moved closer to him.

“It’s at your expense though. You’re wasting your time with me…”

“I’m not wasting anything.”

She rested her hand on the side of his face and leaned forward to kiss him and Shinji quickly allowed her to have what she want by opening his mouth. Satsuki half opened her eyes as she felt his hands sliding up her leg and around her waist.

As she tasted him for the second time, his hands softly caressed her body while his tongue battled hers for control. Satsuki leaned further into him and placed her hands in his brown locks of hair as she continued to passionate kiss.

His hand made its way under her skirt to her ass and gave it a gentle squeeze which made both of them blush as Satsuki broke the kiss, “You’re… You’re better than before.”

“It’s thanks to you.” Shinji said with a blush forming on his cheeks.

It was her turn to blush, “Let me do something to make you feel better.” Satsuki said as she got on her knees and reached for his belt.

“No! I mean… you don’t have to do something like that.” He said as her realized what she was attempting to do.

“I never really liked it,” She admitted, “but you should be selfish too sometimes…”

Shinji looked down at her unfastening his pants and turned away, “But it’s demeaning.”

“Let’s…” She stood back up and looked Shinji in the eyes, “Let’s take it slow then.”

He was prepared for a kiss but, when she leaned forward, he wasn’t expecting her tongue to be on his earlobe instead of inside his mouth. Satsuki tenderly licked his neck while she reached her hand into his already unbuttoned pants.

“Ah…”

Now that the side of his neck was coated with some of her saliva, she started to press her lips to his neck and apply light kisses that were marked with the occasional small bite. As her hand fumbled around in his pants, there was no question that she was skilled at this.

Satsuki knew how to pleasure men and his arousal was proof of that.

Now fully under her control, Shinji made no motion to move as she pressed into him again causing him to be sandwiched between her and the wall. It would seem to be uncomfortable but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Her hand slowly eased up and down the length of his growing erection as her kisses started to trail lower and lower until she was almost at the collar of his shirt.

“Satsuki…” He moaned her name as the girl calmly continued her task of making sure his dick was erect. Her cool hand worked its way up and down his dick and all Shinji could do was lean back on the wall as she provided a level of pleasure never before experienced by the boy.

Suddenly, she stopped her kisses but it wasn’t missed as her lips brushed across his ear, “I’m about to go down on you now.” She whispered as the warm breath that flowed across his ear and neck nearly made him shudder.

What at first was a direct refusal was now a slow nod as she motioned to get on her knees. With agonizing slowness, she pulled his pants down and his boxers soon followed. His dick proudly stood erect thanks to Satsuki and she made no haste in taking it into her mouth.

Shinji steeled himself as she placed her hand on his dick and placed it in front of her mouth. No bracing could stop the flow of feelings that came forth when she licked the tip of his penis and then proceeded to take it into her mouth.

With the head of his swollen member in her mouth, Satsuki began to suck as she rubbed his shaft with her hand. Her tongue swirled around his dick and playfully toyed with the tip as she started to bob her head up and down his length.

The wet sound of her mouth sucking his dick sounded dirty… but it still aroused her enough to start rubbing the sensitive area between her legs as she continued the blowjob. Shinji’s deep moans and the warm hardness of his penis in her mouth was making her wet and, more than that, it was making her feel good.

“I’m…” Shinji panted as the feeling he experienced when her tongue met his manhood started to multiply, “I’m coming…”

Satsuki removed her hand from his dick and started to stroke his balls as she nearly forced her face into his pelvis. She brought her mouth all the way back to the tip and repeated the process as she felt his member starting to twitch.

She formed a tight seal around his penis as the first wave of semen splashed on the back of her throat and the second and third wave followed almost simultaneously. His lover, her hand furiously rubbing under her skirt, sucked the last of his seed out of his dick before she finally looked up at Shinji.

As the pilot leaned against the wall, the expression on his face told her that, like his first kiss, that this wouldn’t be forgotten. Still panting because of his orgasm, Shinji’s eyes traced the small lump that went down her neck as she swallowed, “Satsuki...”

“It tasted kind of salty but,” She said as she got back to her feet, “I don’t mind at all.”

“Do…” His sight rested on her skirt as she stood in front of him, “Do you want me to-“

“That was just for you,” Satsuki smiled as she pulled her skirt up and revealed her damp panties to him, “Let me show you something better.”

Holding the skirt of her uniform up so he could see, she moved her panties to the side and allowed Shinji to see a girl’s bare sex for the first time. Right under the patch of curly brown hair, he could see her dripping womanhood. He was so mesmerized by the sight that he almost didn’t notice that she grabbed his hand and was leading it directly to the spot that had him so hypnotized.

In the small hallway inside her apartment, Satsuki backed into the wall opposite Shinji and directed his fingers towards her wet slit. She held her breath as one of his fingers brushed across her clitoris.

Seeing her reaction, Shinji used his thumb to rub the most sensitive part of her body as he, hopefully following her directions, took the initiative and inserted his middle finger inside of her.

A surprised moan came from her as he took his finger out and drove two in. The satisfying friction his thumb stimulated her clit with and the two fingers inside of her made her feel better than she felt in a long time.

That feeling also meant she was ready.

Shinji feared he did something wrong as her hand softly landed on his wrist, “Did I-“

“No!” She instantly said. He was doing extremely well for his first time, “I’m ready…”

Without question, it was obvious what she was ready for even to someone as naïve as Shinji.

It didn’t take long for Shinji to take action as he start to move his dick towards the wet petals of her sex but it didn’t take long for Satsuki to remember he didn’t have any previous experience.

“Stay just like that. Yea, like that,” She softly directed as Shinji pressed himself against her, “Now hold my leg up.”

Satsuki held her leg up and Shinji placed his hand behind her knee. She laid her back on the wall, “Now use your hand to guide….”

She didn’t need to complete her sentence since Shinji’s dick invaded her before she could finish. Shinji relished the feeling as long as he possibly could. It felt just like it did with his fingers.

It was moist and warm like her mouth but it had a unique difference. Her vaginal walls surrounded his dick and pressed against every part of it. She was tight but neither of the two felt it had to be discussed as Shinji’s hips started to rock forward and backwards.

Slowly, he was starting to get the hang of it but Satsuki felt she still had one more thing to say.

“Go…” Satsuki wrapped her arms around him as she too cherished the feeling she missed, “Go as fast as you can.”

He nodded as he proceeded to do just as she said. Gripping her leg tighter, Shinji moved his hips with more force causing Satsuki to moan as his entire length quickly went in and out of her. Shinji’s pelvis slammed into hers again and it was little he could do as his sex drive took control of him.

Satsuki squeezed her arms around his frame as his dick pounded into her at an increasing rate. With every rough entry Satsuki’s breasts bounced despite the fact that they were pressed against his chest and every whimper that escaped her lips drove him on.

It felt too good.

He was entering her so fast that he was almost lifting her off the ground. It was no wonder why he clearly felt the oncoming of his orgasm even if the ecstasy clouded his mind.

“I-I’m coming!” He announced as he continued to drive himself in and out of the girl as fast as he possibly could.

“J-Just a little longer…” Satsuki begged as she felt it coming as well, “Please…”

He tried as best he could but the tightness of her pussy got the best of him; however, it was still enough to get her off. Satsuki cried his name her vaginal walls clamped down on his dick in an attempt to get everything out of it.

As her vagina contracted around his penis, she lost her focus on showing Shinji how to be a good partner and fell into a level of bliss unlike anything she ever experienced before and the fact that Shinji more or less felt the same only added to the euphoria.

“Shinji,” Satsuki called out as the world came back into focus, “We can go to the bed-“

“No…” Shinji sadly muttered as his regular thinking pattern took control. He released her leg but continued to rest in her arms, “I don’t want Misato to come looking for me.”

“Oh, I almost forgot you couldn’t stay...”

“I would if I could…”

She pulled her boyfriend closer to her and placed her head on his shoulder the same way she did when he first visited her apartment, “I don’t know how to say it but… I’m sorry for using you like this.”

“A lot of people use me… and I let myself be used,” Shinji confessed as he wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to provide comfort, “I know Misato doesn’t really try to but she uses me to clean up and stuff and Asuka makes fun of me, but you’re the first person who I don’t mind using me because-“

Satsuki released her hold on Shinji and softly punched on the arm, “Don’t say something corny.” She joked as she smiled at him.

The pilot shared her smile and blushed, “Because I want you too…”

His girlfriend’s smile became wider as she shook her head causing her beautiful long hair to move behind her, “I thought I told you not to say something corny.”

Shinji chuckled for the first time since she met him and it was a sound that she was going to get used to because she wasn’t ending anything with Shinji.

Not because she held some allusion that they were in love now because they had sex or because it would make her feel bad if she did but, simply, because he was kind to her…

Author’s notes: Damn, this was long so I guess I’ll have a long author’s note to go with it. If anyone couldn’t tell from the disclaimer, I took Satsuki from Ichigo 100%.

Now someone out there is probably wondering why I even wrote this. o.o When I said various female characters, I meant almost all of them including main characters, side characters, and even character roles such as classmate. I could have used any character or even make up my own to do this ‘Classmate’ chapter but I decided with Satsuki simply because I like her character.

Now about the story itself, I think I put up a good effort to do everything right. From Satsuki’s guilt over using Shinji’s kindness to make her feel good to Touji’s evading Hikari’s ear-pulling, I think I did alright.

Satsuki herself, on the other hand, was probably not in character but that’s alright since I changed her anyway (Making her live alone since her parents are dead).

Also, thanks for all the feedback everyone. It motivates me. >_<
