Guy's name was Deadboy. [She grunted sourly.] Total prick. We ended up on other sides of a fight between costumed freaks with powers and he had a scythe from hell. It could sever the connection of the soul to the body. A way to 'reap' them to hell once and for all. He caught my wings with that thing, and my dad couldn't bring them back.
The joke of it all was it wasn't even some great rivalry or him hunting me down. We ran into each other on accident, and I just wanted to get away from the prig. I had things I needed to do. Their fight was a waste of everyone's time.
[Asuka huffed. What more could she really say? Samantha's world was just as alien to her as the mess of Angels and Eva would have been to the demon girl.]
I think I've told you how I lost my eye before. Like an idiot I volunteered to take Ayanami's place as the test pilot of a new Eva. But it turns out the thing had been infected by a parasitic Eva, so the moment it started up the Angel took control.
NERV dispatched Eva 01, that's the brat's Eva, to fight the thing. I don't know how it happened, but 01 went berserk and ripped my Eva to pieces then tried bit the entry plug in half. If the thing's teeth had been a few feet to close it would have killed me, but I got lucky and survived with just a contaminated eye to show for my stupidity.
So... it's still in there. [She looked at her as she turned down the street, her apartment complex around the corner from where they were. Her hand reached over and towards the cheek, brushing under the eyepatch as she looked at her carefully for a minute.]
[Asuka blushed and pulled back a bit as Samantha's hand brushed against her face]
It's fine for now, they out some kind of seal on it to prevent the Angel contamination from spreading to the rest of my body. You'll know it when you see it.
And here, it isn't getting any worse obviously. Still ... I hope that you get this dealt with. No wonder you've got issues with him.
[Seeing her shy away, Samantha retracted her hand for a second and started to head over towards the door, pulling out her keys. She closed her eyes and breathed in for a moment. She wouldn't start when she saw the eye, nope...
But then again, to show those scars, she was going to need to take off more than just an eyepatch.]
[Samantha paused inside once the door was locked and reached up to the straps holding on her dress. She breathed in and turned around for her, pulling her hair up and out of the way.]
You can look first if you want. Touch even. The bones are still there, inside. Makes it kind of a pain to massage.
[She wanted it to be comfortable for her, and if she was nervous about her eye, why not deal with her nerves first, give her a second?]
<small<[Asuka paused and just stared at Samantha bare back for a moment. There wasn't anything especially unsettling about the scars, she had seen far worse in the days following Third Impact, but it still left a strong impression on the eternally fourteen year old girl.
Hesitantly Asuka extended one hand closer to Samantha, something in her wishing to touch something that had been hidden from her previously. She had no plan to put her whole hand anywhere near the demon-girl, that would be to much, but with her outreached limb she did manage to press one finger against Samantha's back, tracing her scars lightly in a probing manner.
She would withdraw her touch soon after, not wishing to overstay her welcome.]
[The small, gentle touch would give her the feel of the jagged scar tissue there and the bumps where the bones remained just below the skin. Samantha looked back at her, holding her dress half on her frame and smirked a little.]
Since when did you turn into a church mouse about touching me? I'm the one who's pinned you to the wall you're standing next to you, you know.
[Of course, that hadn't technically been a 'date,' and they hadn't gone into her home afterwards to show each other little secrets like this. She tied the dress top back in place hastily, waiting on the other girl.]
That's not the same thing at all! How can you even compare the two?
[Asuka shook her head, there was a world of difference in her mind between the current circumstances and that particular day.]
But I guess that means it is my turn now...
[Carefully Asuka reached behind her head and lifted the black patch from over her eye. Beneath lay an eye dull and grey in color and sitting unmoving in its socket in an almost creepy manner. On the surface was inscribed a faintly blue rune that almost seemed to glow in the right light.]
[Mostly because she didn't see nearly as much difference. When the eye was revealed, she didn't flinch, looking at it curiously. It wasn't as horrifying as she'd expected. Swallowing once, she imagined the gray spreading and the thought of the corruption was a worry.
Still, for now, it was... pretty.]
Can you see me through it? Do I look different at all?
[Asuka nodded in the negative. If she could see through it, why would she wear an eye-patch?]
As much as I wish I could, ever since the accident my right eye has been pretty much useless. I've learned to adapt but I really hope I'll be able to use the stupid thing again someday.
[Asuka sighed. She couldn't even remember the how long it had been since she had two functioning eyes, but the ability to rid herself of the one of the oddities plaguing her ageless body was an exciting premise to say the least.]
But no, you look the same as ever. Pretty I guess?
[She started to slip up against Asuka, her arms settling to either side of the girl's neck, body pressed in close against her. She was smirking definitely now, leaning up close while one of her legs lifted and ran a booted calf against the side of the red-head's leg.]
I'm going to have to try a little harder to make sure I get more than a guess out of you aren't I, beautiful? Much as it might be a stupid thing, it gives you... an exotic look. Like an alien sort of beauty.
[Well isn't this awkward? Asuka wasn't going to fight Samantha's advances, as she had actually come to enjoy the attention, but that would not stop her from wiggling a bit and turning red as the setting sun.]
[Her fingers started to reach in, forearms sliding up along the side of her neck before she began to run those fingers up and into her hair. While she did, her lips came in a mere inch from Asuka's, breath running over hers. She reached her leg around, curling over the older woman's and smiling softly.]
You make me hungry some nights, Asuka. Late at night thinking of the taste of your lips. Of course you're beautiful.
[As Samantha stroked her hair, Asuka's breathing became quicker as her heart began to beat as an incredible pace. No matter how many times Samantha embraced her, kissed her, or stroked her hair, Asuka had yet to get used to such intimate contact with another person.
Asuka could do little in response, so blank was her mind, but she managed to pull herself a bit closer to Samantha and wrap her arms around the demon girl. It seemed appropriate.]
[Her lips hovered at the edge of a kiss and those eyes grew more lidded, heady. Tail was coiling around a leg and one hand running slowly down her back. It traced Asuka's spine while the demon leaned her forehead against the other girl's. She spoke, but it was barely a whisper, her fingers running up through her hair to cup her head.]
I want dessert, Asuka. May I have it tonight, or do you want me to get us some ice cream to cool down?
[Asuka quivered at the touch, but managed to regain her wits long enough to speak.]
...Let me put my eye-patch back on first.
[As much as she liked Samantha, as much she trusted her more then she did most people, she felt naked with her corrupted eye exposed to the outside world.
[She pulled back a little so Asuka had room to maneuver. She didn't let go of her, but she did hover far enough away that she could easily put it back on.]
[Asuka carefully tied the patch behind her head and once more brought it to a rest covering her faintly glowing eye. A part of her breathed a small sigh of relief, feeling safer now that the reminders of her failure was once more locked safely away.]
All right, I trust you. Which is an honor, I will remind you.
[She smiled a that, her tail reaching over to open the bedroom door.] You're right... but it's also my pleasure. I'll fix you breakfast in the morning as a thanks...
[And as that door closed behind them, one of her boots flopping to the floor in the hall, the scene faded to black]

It had been sometime since she had last showed anyone her sealed eye, let alone someone she cared about as much as Samantha.]
