Elysium

Chaputa-roku

Shinji lay awake on the futon on the floor.
Well, he didn�t lay awake all night, he woke up early. And this time he knew
that he had woken from his dreams. The brunette was even thinking rationally as
he lay there in the silence and the hazy blue-grey air of the darkened room.
First he wondered where his SDAT was, since he remembered always listening to
it while he tried to sleep.

The third child was surprised to find that
the fog over his own mind had lifted; he could actually remember the passing of
the past few days. Before a couple days ago in Shinji�s mind was all a hazy
jumble of blurry figures and a soft German symphony. But ignoring the fuzzy
bits that were in his mind the ex-pilot concentrated on what he could now
remember. The memories weren�t really anything special they were full of
sitting in a boring classroom sitting on Kaoru�s lap. The last realisation made
the young insomniac pause and think.

The memories that were flowing through his
mind were hard to decipher. For Shinji knew, knew that he had woken the
previous day and gone to school he knew that, so why would Kaoru be there? As
his blue eyes flickered closed and sleep retook the lithe form on the mattress,
Shinji sighed at his last thought before sleep took him over; he had woken from
his nightmares, but sadly he was pretty sure that he was now hallucinating.

Morning came all to soon for Tabris, he sat
up on the futon and stretched his arms up over his head and then he looked over
at the sleeping face of his love, and as he did most mornings he thought of his
Lord, the one he left for his love, his love that was still insane. The thought
of whether or not Falling from God�s graces was worth all the trouble had never
crossed the ex-angel�s mind. Not even now as he looked down on the boy that he
loved, the boy who was trapped in his own trauma filled mind. With a smile the
silver-haired boy stood up from the futon on the floor and dressed in his
school uniform.

Once Tabris was finished making the vitamin
enhanced bento, he also heated up a pot of miso soup that was left over from
the previous day, since it had been about a week now since Shinji Ikari had
graduated to a more complex diet. Setting the table for two the Fifth Child
walked back towards the bedroom to wake up the brunette. The ex-angel was
surprised when Pen Pen�s refrigerator opened, Tabris paused a moment and
watched as the penguin came out of his room dragging a small suitcase. The
silver head tipped slightly to the left and red eye�s followed the penguin
towards the door, �Are you going on vacation?�

Pen Pen paused and turned around to look at
the owner of the apartment that he had taken up residence. The penguin gave a
slight nod before he turned back to continue walking out of the door.

�Thank you for all your help Pen Pen, I am
truly grateful,� yelled Tabris as he watched the penguin walk down the hallway
as the door slowly came to a close. Turning around the silver-haired boy went
back to his original plan for that morning, waking up the boy he loved.

Stepping into the bedroom that the two of
them shared Tabris leaned over and gently began to hum Ode an
die Freude and shake Shinji�s shoulder, �Wake up Shinji-koi we have to get up
and go to school.� Blue eyes sprung open with a sense of clarity. Those eyes
darted worriedly around the room before landing on the silver-haired angel. The
Fifth Child�s heart leapt up into his throat at the look of utter disbelief and
confusion that he found in his love�s eyes. The ex-angel allowed a glimmer of
hope to fill his heart, �Shinji-koi?�

�Kaoru,� replied the brunette as he slowly
sat up and scanned the room for his school uniform. The red-eyed boy allowed
the hope and happiness to swell more in his heart at the normal gesture that he
was viewing, but all of his hope faded away when Shinji finished getting
dressed and clung to the slightly taller male. With a sigh Tabris lead the
Third Child to the kitchen table and sat them down in a single chair.

The ex-replacement for the pilot of Eva 02
reached for the spoon that lay next to one of the bowls of soup. But
surprisingly the spoon was taken directly out from under his nose and the
red-eyed boy stared as the young brunette began to eat on his own. After the
initial shock wore off Tabris just sat there with a smile on his face, his arms
tightened around the thin waist of his to be-boyfriend. When there was a knock
on the door the ex-angel came back to his senses and quickly ate his own
breakfast.

As the Third, Fourth and Fifth child walked
to school with their class Iinchou, Shinji did not outwardly look any different
as he clung to the taller boy but a pair of red eyes noticed that the brunette
was paying more attention to his surroundings and also had a looser grip on the
ex-angel�s arm. The closer the group got to their school the tighter Shinji�s
hold on Tabris became. �By the time that
they reached the classroom Ikari turned into a detached but nervous wreck.

As roll call was being called Hikari
skipped over the two boys sharing a seat in the back of the room like she
normally did since Tabris had showed up a few months prior. After roll call,
since there were no new announcements the teacher began to present his lecture.

A confused Shinji turned to look at Tabris,
and he whispered, �Why was my name not called, I�m here.�

The silver-haired boy looked startled down
at the brunette in his lap, as he slowly raised his hand. It took a while for
the teacher to actually notice that there was a hand raised, but when he did he
was surprised that the hand was raised at all, �Hai, Angelo-san.�

�The Iinchou never called our names,�
replied Tabris, the teacher gave the silver-haired NERV employee an exasperated
look.

The teacher was ready to ignore the usually
silent Eva pilots, but was interrupted by Horaki Hikari,
�Ara gomennasi, Angelo Tabris.�

�Hai,� replied the
smug ex-angel.

�Ikari Shinji.�

�Hai� whispered the
brunette a confused look still on his face. The teacher began to grumble about
his students before he returned to his lecture. The teacher didn�t get very far
before Shinji asked another question and even while the teacher was speaking in
his slow sleepy voice, the Third Child�s voice seemed to carry, �Why do they
call you Angelo Tabris, when your name is Nagisa Kaoru? Are you not Kaoru?�

The room fell silent.
Tabris took a deep shaky breath and the arms he had around his love�s waist
tightened, �Iie, Shinji-koi I am Kaoru. I am from America and so my birth name is
Angelo Tabris. When I first came to Japan to pilot Eva Unit 02 Nerv assigned me
the name Nagisa Kaoru so that it would not look so odd,� red eyes looked down
at the brunette in his lap, the boy looked to be near tears, �ara, Shinji-koi,
I will always be Kaoru to you. You may address me however you want.�

By this point Shinji
was a crying mass in the ex-angel�s lap. The brunette buried his face into the
pale neck and quietly cried for the reminder of the day. He even ate lunch with
tears streaming down his cheeks. The new information that Ikari was being
exposed to at that moment was too much for him to handle and he broke down.
Sometime after lunch Shinji fell asleep in his friends lap and the tired angel
had to carry his love home. Both boys went to bed early without dinner.

Blue eyes fluttered
open and took in the blue-grey hazy atmosphere that shrouded the room. It took
the brunette a minute to divorce the original thoughts from the memories of the
previous night. But he knew that there was a difference, since this time his
eye stung a bit, and his eyelids were still heavy from crying.

Once he realized that
he fell asleep crying, that morning�s events came rushing back to him. How the
Iinchou and the teacher addressed his hallucination�so that means that Kaoru
isn�t a hallucination, right? Shinji was beyond confused and with a huff threw
his arms spread out at his sides. He hit something. Something
hard. All previous thoughts and confusion fled and a new curiosity
filled him as he touched this thing that was beside him. It was harder then a
futon but softer then a mat floor. Hesitantly and slowly blue eyes turn to see
what it is that he had found. To Shinji�s utter surprise directly to his left
lay a sleeping Kaoru.

There was a pause,
where blue eyes took in the sight before him. The silver messy hair, the pale
skin of Tabris� chest since the sheets had slipped down to expose the majority
of the ex-angel�s upper body. The sleeping youth was only in a pair of boxers,
which when Shinji realised this he blushed, thinking it was an odd dream.
Shinji froze�but it wasn�t a dream, was it?

Sitting up slowly and
keeping his eyes trained intently on the sleeping figure beside him, Ikari
reached over and ran his hand threw the silver hair�it felt real. The hand
trailed down to hover over the pale lips and nose, he felt the soft
breaths�which pointed to the fact that the person was alive. Blue eyes
flickered to the slowly rising chest and with a deep breathe Shinji placed his
hand on top of Tabris� chest and took a deep breath as he slide the hand over
to where their should be a heart�it beat.

Tears formed in the
blue eyes and a choked sob came out, �Kaoru.� The brunette threw himself over
the prone body and began to sob into the pale neck, a move that his brain
registered as vaguely familiar.

The sudden weight
thrown on top of the sleeping boy woke him in a startled instance. It took
Tabris only a second to register that it was his love that had woken him, his love
that was crying over him. Slowly lifting his arms he encased the crying
brunette in a warm embrace and whispered into the closest ear, �Shinji-koi why
are you crying?�

The slighter male
pulled back and stared down into those red eyes he had been dreaming about, �You�re
here.�

Tabris tightened his
arms around the brunette that was half on top of him, �Of course I am here,
where else would I be.�

�But I killed you, I
did,� Shinji whispered a new round of tears trickling down his cheeks.

The Fifth Child
shushed the boy above him and leaned up and kissed both of Shinji�s cheeks
directly below his eyes, �But I love you Shinji-koi, so I can�t die.�

�But 01� and� you-
your� head-� Shinji wailed.

The silver-haired boy
pulled the brunette close to his body and cradled his Love�s head as he rocked
them back and forth, �You remember Shinji-koi, at the end of it all with Asuka,�
the ex-angel received a barely perceptible nod, � You called my name,
remember,� another nod, more confident then the last, �That is love Shinji-koi,
if you call me I will come no matter where I am, it might take me a long time
to get back to you, but I always will come for you.� ��

�Really?� it was whispered,
unsure and very insecure.

�Of course, and if I
can no longer come to you, God will bring you to me,� Tabris reassured, red
eyes looked up towards the ceiling and under his breath he added, �I hope that
you will Father.�

Shinji sniffed and
wiped his teary face into the pale shoulder, �What did you say?�

�We should go to sleep,
I�ll be here when you wake up, but remember the apartment is larger then this
room,� replied the ex-pilot as he stroked the brunette hair and hummed his love
to sleep.

Ihr st�rzt nieder, Millionen?

Ahnest du den Sch�pfer, Welt?

Such'ihn �ber'm Sternenzelt!

�ber Sternen muss er wohnen.

When the morning came,
red eyes fluttered open and a smile immediately graced his pale features.
Careful to extract himself from under the brunette, Tabris got up stretched and
got dressed. Looking out of the window he took in the sight of a beautiful
Sunday morning. Part of its beauty was that there was no school on Sunday.

It was late in the
morning, but the ex-pilot didn�t care as he gently woke the sleeping boy on the
futon below. Tabris Angelo knew that they would need to go out and buy
groceries, especially since Pen Pen was on vacation.

Blue eyes fluttered
open; they gazed upward for a brief unseeing moment. Shinji�s eyes went wide and
his heart skipped a beat before he smiled a slow brilliant smile. �Ohayou
Kaoru.�

Tabris� face lit up
and the smile reached his ears, �Ohayou Shinji-koi�

Shinji sat up on the
futon and looked around the room as if it was the first time that he was there.
The third child noted that the western style bed was missing and there in one
corner was his cello next to a violin. The blue eyes moved and focused on the
other person in the room. The brunette racked his brain for the last time that
he had seen his friend dressed casually. He couldn�t remember a time; cocking
his head to one side Shinji began to study the boy in front of him.

�It is Sunday, if that
is what you were wondering. We don�t have school. I thought we could go grocery
shopping, is there anything that you would like to do today?� asked Tabris
after a moment.

The pilot of Eva 01
thought for a moment and then shook his head, �Maybe a bath later,� Shinji
seemed so innocent when he said that sentence and the way he had his head
turned was very cute, that Tabris couldn�t help but laugh. The young brunette
was torn between the elation that he felt at hearing his friend�s laughter
again and the sadness at being laughed at. His lip began to quiver.

Tabris quieted
instantly as soon as he saw the face of his love, �Ara, iie Shinji-koi I am not
laughing at you I am just so happy that you are thinking of something as small
as a bath. I did not mean to make you sad, will you forgive me?� The ex-angel
leaned over and hugged the brunette tight to his chest until he felt the small
nod, �Why don�t you get dressed for the day and I will go and make us
breakfast.�

�O-ke,� said Shinji
Ikari in a very small voice as he slowly and reluctantly let go of his friend,
his life line. Tabris got up from the futon and moved into the main room and
headed straight for the refrigerator.

� ��

Quickly taking stalk
of what was in the refrigerator and what he could make for breakfast and what
they needed to buy. Tabris quickly decided that the quickest thing to eat for
breakfast would have to be leftover bento. Neither of the boys had been able to
eat their lunch since Shinji was so upset.

Taking out the two
mostly full bento boxes and setting them on his table. Going to the counter he
pulled out two pair of hashi out of the drawer before setting them on the
table. Looking at the table for a moment the ex-angel decided to set the bento
on the same side of the table, but made sure there was two chairs just in case
Shinji wanted to sit by himself, but if not the brunette wouldn�t feel
pressured.

Hearing a shuffling
noise in the direction of the bedroom red eyes looked up and met blue, with a
smile Tabris said, �I hope you don�t mind that breakfast is yesterday�s bento,
we really didn�t have a chance to eat it yesterday.�

The third child
approached the table and took a seat in the chair closest to the bedroom, �Why
didn�t we-� Shinji paused as he mulled the words and
the memories it brought over in his mind, �your name isn�t Nagisa Kaoru?�

There was a pregnant
pause as blue and red eyes met, �I told you yesterday that I am American, my
name is Tabris Angelo and NERV gave the fake name of Nagisa Kaoru so I would
not stick out. You can call me Kaoru if you want.�

The brunette slowly
nodded as he looked down at his lap excepting the story. Reaching for his hashi
he put them between his hands and quietly said, �Itadakimasu.� �Shinji
quietly began to pick at and eat the left over bento. Picking up a hotdog
octopus he held it before his face and smiled before taking a bit from one of
the �tentacles�.

Red eyes watched the
boy for a moment, before taking his own seat, following suit he whispered, �Itadakimasu,� and began to eat his
meal. The two ate in silence and when both boys were finished eating Tabris
took their dishes to the sink and began to wash them.

Shinji
just sat at the table and watched the silver-haired boy clean up for a moment
before asking, �So we�re going grocery shopping?�

�Hai, I
thought would could go once I finish with the dishes,� replied the ex-angel, �Is there anything in particular that you want to eat
for the next week?�

The
brunette just shrugged, seeing that Tabris was soon to being done with the
dishes he moved to stand near the door. It wasn�t long until the silver-haired
ex-angel met the young brunette at the door with a few canvas bags in hand.

The two
boys made their way out of the apartment as they walked down the hall the two
were separated. In the elevator to the ground floor Shinji linked his arm with
the free arm of the taller teen. When they stepped out onto the street the
brunet was glued to the silver-haired boy�s side. The farther away from the
apartment and the solitude the more attached Ikari became.

The
ex-angel asked, �Are you all right Shinji-koi?�

The small
brunet mumbled quietly under his breath if the other boy had not been listening
then he might have missed it. Halting the steps of the two boys, the fifth
child asked for the words of his love to be repeated. �Why are there so many
people? I thought they died,� was the quiet almost non-perceptive reply.

Red eyes
starred at the smaller boy for a second before pale arms wrapped around the
slighter figure. Shinji was so confused, thin lips spoke soft words in the
nearby ear, �Adam had two wives the first was Lilith and she did not yield to
her husband so she was cast out of the garden, more for conflicting
personalities. You cannot have two people who each refused to yield to the thoughts
of the other. So God created Eve from Adam to ensure that she would yield to
him and they could come together without strife. And thus two kinds of people
were born the Children of Eve, and the Lilin�the demon
children of Lilith and Asmodai. The Father was angered by the remainder of the
Children of Eve for they were falling from his graces. Deciding to start over
he sent the Angels to kill all of the Children of Eve and the Lilin. But the
Lilin followed none of God�s orders, and forged their own way. So all of these
people are Lilin, there are only four Children of Eve left in the world.�

Tabris leaned back far enough to look into
the blue eyes. Red eyes followed the slow comprehension form in the mind of his
love. Shinji�s mouth opened a bit the breath caught in his throat and the words
died. His elder companion did not press the issue and just slowly let the
brunet from his embrace. Turning and offering his arm to the third child Tabris
continued to walk to the market.

It was not long until the silver-haired
angel was regretting if only slightly the choice to bring his love shopping. As
the streets became narrower and the people more packed Ikari, Shinji became
more frantic and nervous. From any other perspective in those moments of the
street markets it would appear that the small brunet had not gotten better he
seemed his usual silent self.

In the beginning the ex-replacement for the
pilot of Eva 02, tried to engage the third child in any type of interaction whether
it was the type of tofu he preferred or simply a telling of his favourite meal;
to no avail. Besides to quiet fear of the brunet the shopping was done in relative
peace.

The Fifth Child was busy picking out vegetables,
he was only slightly worried about the death grip on his arm, but as long as he
knew where his love was then he was fine. Suddenly the arm of the brunet was ripped
from its grasp on the ex-angel. Tabris spun quickly around and to his horror
Shinji was sprawled on the ground with tears in his eyes. A short distance away
stood Asuka her fiery hair standing out amongst the crowd of Japanese.

There was a sneer fixed on the second child�s
face, �What are you doing here? I thought you kept him confined to his room and
school so that he will stay in your world, Engel.�
(Angel).

�My world, is your and his world now
Daughter of Eve. This does not however, give you the right to hurt him more,�
replied Tabris as he helped the third child off of the ground and wrapped the
brunet in a comforting embrace.

�He should be with me,� came
a whispered hiss.

�He should be happy. It is time that you
forget this Child of Eve, oh, Daughter and embrace the Lilin instead,� was the
quiet reply as Tabris turned Shinji to return home. The rest of their shopping
could wait, all the while humming.

Freude,
Sch�ner G�tterfunken,

Tochter aus Elysium,

Wir betreten feuer-trunken,

Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!

Deine Zauber binden wieder,

Was die Mode streng geteilt;

Alle Menschen werden Br�der,

Wo dein sanfter Fl�gel weilt.
