The past few weeks went by very fast.

Ever since I took Shinji home on friday that day he always came to school without bruises.

We spent the past weeks talking and always walking home together.

But I'm not quite sure of the bullying. The principal didn't do anything only thing I know is that the boys had to go to detention.

I'm always by Shinji's side which is probably why he doesn't get bullied anymore.

That's why I need to keep it up and never let Shinji walk somewhere on his own.

"Ah this math problem is so hard."

I hear Shinji groan behind me and I turn around: "You need help with it maybe?"

I smile and Shinji looks at me with a shy expression.

"You don't have to. I can do this its fine."

I chuckle and turn back around noticing Shinji's empty sheet of paper.

"Ahhh." I hear a soft frustrated sound from behind and turn around again.

"Shinji Ikari I said I can explain it to you. Just accept my help."

I laugh and fully turn around to sit at Shinji's table.

"You don't have to."

I just smile and start explaining before the teacher slowly approaches us: "Hey you two. Nagisa and Ikari. No partner work here, everyone has to do it on their own."

"But Sir, Shinji doesn't understand so I wanted to explain it to him." I try to justify myself while still holding Shinji's pencil in my hand.

"You can do that at home. Come on now Nagisa turn back around and face your own work."

I give up and nod. Before the teacher turns back around I scribble down the answers on Shinji's paper and smile softly.

I take down a little sheet of paper and write down 'Can we study together today?' on it passing it to Shinji.

He takes the note and smiles.

When I get the note back it has 'I need to ask my dad.' written on the bottom.

Right. His dad.

I write down on the little note once again telling Shinji to text me when he asks his dad.

Yes Shinji has a phone now. It took a lot of convincing to get him to accept it.

I got a new phone a few weeks ago so I gave it to Shinji. I liked my old phone better anyways.

We text a lot but his dad isn't allowed to know so we can't really call.

Still we both enjoy talking to each other. At least I hope Shinji does as well.

After school I walk him home as usual and infront of the house I take his hands in mine: "If everything goes well we can meet tomorrow alright?"

He smiles sofly and nods slowly.

"Don't be scared Shinji. If something happens with your dad please tell me. I'm here for you and I'll try to do something to help."

Shinji gives me a surprised look.

He doesn't know I figured out that his dad abuses him. It wasn't even hard to figure out.

Still Shinji nods slowly and runs into the house: "Thank you so much Kaworu. Just thank you for being my friend."
