As we all know, none of us own the rights to Evangelion.  We are just simply and humble fans keeping the fun
alive by writing fan-fiction.  Suing me or anyone else is pointless.  We do this for fun, not money.

OK now on to the other stuff.
This is not a side story to any of my own fics instead it is a side story to the fic
“What the Hell happened to Evangelion” by Jayson Deare.  A good friend of mine.
This side story takes place during chapter eight, 
actually in the middle of the night near the end of chapter eight
Jason was cool enough to use Anthony Draven in his fic so I figured I could put some effort into it as well.

Now
A Moment of Reflection:

The night was peaceful, the two young lovers were snuggled close together.  
The young man was awakened suddenly.
A thin veil of sweat was on his forehead
Anthony looked around, shaking the remains of the dream from his mind
Shaking with a chill, he felt the warmth of the young beauty laying with him.
Anthony looked at the green hair lovely, in bed him.
“Yoko” he whispered.

Anthony  smiled as he though of the girl who had just come into his life and 
yet was so important to him.  He had just met Yoko and yet here he was in bed with her.

For the moment he allowed himself to think of the other girl who had been important to him
A wave for sadness passed through him.
Amy.  She was a pretty young girl.  Anthony had a crush on her since he was ten
Too scared to tell her how he felt it wasn’t until he was thirteen that she learned of his feelings.
It was the night Amy learned of that feeling towards her that they had gotten involved in a game of ‘doctor’ while no sex happened it did make something clear to Amy.  There was a boy who loved her.  
Then it happen.  Her goddamn father had been drinking too much, while the family had been out to dinner
There had been an accident, no one survived.  

At the funeral Anthony had just stood there.  He had loved her, now she was gone.
After that Anthony was scared to love again.  He forced down the natural feeling that come with puberty 
Attraction to girls, he buried deep down.  When he became an Eva pilot he used the frustration that had built up
to fuel his fighting skills.  While trained in no specific discipline Anthony had become a skilled swordsman and a strong fighter.

Now it was happening again, he had found a girl who cared about him  No girl had every come on so strong to him as Yoko had just a few hours ago. Removing her clothes right in front of him, trying to seduce him ,while they had just met a day before.  His fear had overwhelmed him, fear of loving and fear of losing that love.  He had tried to make an excuse that he know how to fight but no to love,  That had not stopped Yoko, maybe things moved faster in Japan  

Looking her, Anthony swore to himself, history would not repeat.  He hugged her a little tighter.
No matter what Anthony would protect Yoko, with his very life if every the need arose.


“Anthony” whispered Yoko as she opened her golden eyes and looked at him sleepily.
‘Something wrong?”

“Nothing Yoko,  just thinking,” respond Anthony

“About what” asked Yoko 

“About the past and about you” he said quietly

“You want some more?’ she asked slight seductive tone in her voice

“No Yoko, laying here with you is enough” said Anthony gently 

“It will have to be enough” said Yoko
“At least until the Championships are over.  After that, anything goes” 

‘Then I have a reason for kick my opponents ass quicker.  The sooner we win the Championship the sooner we can be back like this” said Anthony

“But.” Yoko said with a hint of worry
“The sooner the Championships are over, the sooner I go back to Japan, I‘ll never see you again”

Anthony smiled, he had already thought of that.
“Don’t worry, my love” he said with a reassuring tone in his voice
“Everything is going to be fine,  I’m not leaving you anytime soon, I swear it”

“But” said Yoko confused

“Please, leave it to me” said Anthony soothingly
‘I have everything worked out”

Satisfied that her new found boyfriend would live up to his vow, Yoko went back to sleep.

Anthony looked at her.  He felt his eyes heavy with sleep.
One final though coursed through his mind

With that, Anthony succumb to the veils of sleep.

Yes the fates had dealt Anthony a new hand but he was unaware of just how eventful of a hand it was.

The End
