Shinji Ikari goes to NERV, a private school, and meets a certain pale boy called Kaworu Nagisa. They're both very antisocial teenagers who immediatly become glued to each other. Also, they're soulmates, but none of them are aware.

Robert pines over Budgie and they fuck :) First ~serious~ Budgie fic on the market.

Kaworu and Shinji have been friends forever, so even when Kaworu moves away, Shinji knows they'll stay in contact. After just a few hours, however, they are seemingly unable to reach each other. Years pass, and Shinji finds Kaworu fresh out of college and working for his father's manufacturing company. Befuddled with waves of new emotion that he wasn't prepared for, Shinji tries to talk to Kaworu but finds himself getting more close to his old friend than he'd planned...
