My Protector: Reverse Polarity
“I said go away, Kosuke!” A redheaded girl yelled. “You’re not good enough for Asuka Langley Sohryu!”
“But we were meant to be together!” The young man pleaded.
“Sorry.” Asuka said with dismissal. “Goodbye!”
Kosuke started pursuit, but was cut off by a door slamming into his face. Out of the room came a blue-haired girl who was quite familiar to Asuka.
“Hi, Wonder Girl,” she began with a semi-polite greeting. The other girl had just removed an irritating boy from her sight, so some civility was in order.
“Hello, pilot Sohryu,” was the usual monotone reply.
“Thanks… for the help.” Asuka said, trying to show some gratitude. She quickly turned and left for home.
It wasn’t long before she noticed a second pair of footsteps behind her own. ‘If Kosuke’s following me home, I’ll have Misato shoot him!’ She looked behind and saw Rei. ‘Why is she following me?’
“Is something wrong?” Asuka asked mildly concerned.
“Nothing, pilot Sohryu.” was the reply.
Nothing of note happened on the way home, but Rei faithfully followed her home like a puppy. Asuka felt a surprising feeling of safety having those bright red eyes watching out for her.
The German girl couldn’t come up with an appropriate farewell before Rei took off. She waited long enough to make sure Asuka was inside.
‘Is she trying to protect me from Kosuke?’ She pondered during her bath. ‘It’s sweet but I can handle him myself!’ She sighed.
That night she dreamt of a blue-haired knight who broke the evil doll who had been chasing her. She smiled in her sleep.

The next morning, Asuka and Shinji had a surprise waiting at the door.
Shinji managed to sputter out something first. “Why are you here, Rei?”
Rei shyly looked from him to the German girl. “I’m here to walk pilot Sohryu to school.”
Asuka blushed and pulled the blunette out the door towards school.
Shinji just stood there floored. “That’s weird.”
Misato sipped her morning beer. “No, that’s cute.” She grinned into the can.
--
When they reached school, Asuka couldn’t stand it any longer. “Why did you follow me home yesterday and walk me to school today?”
Rei took a moment to respond. “Because Kosuke has been showing signs of an obsession with you and is a danger to you.”
“Is this just because I’m an Eva pilot?” Asuka had a suspicion, one that made her slightly nervous.
“No…” Rei said with a blush.
“Then why?” Asuka felt the need to push for the full truth.
“I want to keep you safe…” Rei said, her eyes dropping to the floor.
Asuka was shocked by the intense flutter she felt. “You like me… even after how I’ve treated you?”
Rei looked directly into the German’s blue eyes. “You make me feel alive. I’m not just another pilot to you. There’s no one else who makes me feel so… significant.”
Asuka smiled. She was special to someone. She realized that this was a unique opportunity to change both of their lives. “Does this mean you want to go out with me?”
Confused, Rei tilted her head cutely. “What do you mean ‘go out’?”
Asuka blushed. “Do you want to be my girlfriend?” She wasn’t sure how to explain further.
A look of understanding dawned on the pale face and she nodded. “I would like that, pilot Sohryu.” There was the beginning of a small smile.
Asuka returned a friendly smile and lightly grasped Rei’s hand. “First thing, Wonder Girl… I mean Rei… call me Asuka.”
“Asuka…” The other girl seemed to be attempting to taste it. Asuka was surprised at how much she liked hearing her say it.
The classroom warning tone sounded and they hurried off to class.
--
“Asuka… and Rei!” Shinji said with some confusion.
“Hell must have frozen over…” Touji said with a grin that spoke that he was happy about the new relationship.
Kosuke was truly upset. “You were supposed to go out with me! Why?”
Asuka, still on cloud nine, replied: “Did I forget to mention that I’m a lesbian?”
“You… dyke!” The outraged young man made an attempt to grab Asuka. Suddenly, in a blur of motion he was on the floor with Rei standing over him.
“If you come near my girlfriend again, I will be forced to use more force to dissuade your actions.” Surprisingly, the monotone made it all the more threatening.
The end result involved Kosuke transferring to another part of the country. Not to mention, Rei was rewarded for her efforts with a kiss on the cheek. The surrounding boys all received nose bleeds. Asuka was too happy to slap them and call them perverts, since she had gotten Rei to blush again; something so cute to defy words.
