"He stood by the bed for a moment, burning the sight into his memory."
Shinji is looking down at Asuka. She has a dreamlike smile on her face.
Shinji (to himself):"When she wants, she can be a real little angel..."

— The Child of Love, Chapter 2
"Shinji woke up, opened his eyes, and was then absolutely certain that he hadn’t done either. He could not possibly have woken up, for several reasons. Number one, that he was still alive. Number two, this was exactly like other dreams he’d had in the past, so it must be one. Number three, it had to be a dream, since the likelihood of him actually being awake, alive, and having Asuka not just in his arms but also smiling in her sleep must have been astronomical. That he was in fact holding her tightly against him and looking at the impossibly beautiful smile on her sleeping face from a few inches away, pre-dawn light giving her a surreal pale glow, was so unlikely that he must still be asleep. Q.E.D.
Right?
Right. Had to be. So, since this was one of the nice dreams, he might as well enjoy it. He cuddled Asuka closer and took a deep breath of the scent of her hair. Strawberry Balsam, it never failed to make him think of her. Gods, she smelled good and felt so warm. He could feel her pressed against him all the way down his body. This was a very nice dream."

"The inkling would often silently observe her friend as she slowly returned to dreamless slumber. It was at times like these where Pearl’s heart was given a bit more grace than usual; it was the dead of the night, she couldn’t be bothered to restrain it. Pearl would take note how on clear-sky nights, the moonlight phasing through her window would reflect off of Marina’s glossy tentacles and illuminate her dark skin in a mesmerizing, almost angelic glow. One of Marina’s hands would be neatly tucked against her bosom, while her legs gently brushed up against Pearl’s own. Her facial features would be peaceful, lips faintly parted as her chest gently rose and fell like the calm waves found at the beach near Starfish Mainstage."

"He looked over at Asuka. It was then that the image of the redhead's body fully struck him.
There was hardly any light in the room, but he could clearly distinguish her slender contour under thin sheets that barely managed to cover down to her knees, leaving her exposed from the top of her calves to the tip of her toes. Though she had her back to him, he could still see the profile her sharp features made in contrast to the white pillow on which her head rested, amidst an ocean of red locks.
She looked so peaceful now, so far away from everything, and yet she was lying right here next to him. And so close, in fact, that he could smell the perfumed scent of her hair, along with the clean, familiar essence of her musk. And he could most certainly feel her heat.
Asuka's mouth moved gently, a soft moan escaping her parted lips."

"Carefully, I tried to free myself from her hug. I really didn't want to spend the whole night that close to her. Then I looked at her. She was so beautiful."

"I think I stare at him every morning now. Without motion on my part, just staring, head propped up on one hand as I gaze over across the cold remains of last night's fire and at his peaceful face."
"It was still quite early, but the sun stood already high enough to fill the sleeping-room with morning light. Shinji was awake for several minutes, yet he had no intention to get up. He enjoyed this moment way too much.
Just looking at [Asuka] as she slept there in his arms. Her soft hair that was shining in its bright red in the early sunrays. The slight heaving of her chest in the rhythm of her breathing. The faint, barely audible sound of her snoring. Her fingers that lay loosely on his shoulders, absently trailing around. Her sweet, intoxicating scent that wasn't rivaled by anything he could think of. That almost cute little bit of drool in the corner of her slightly opened mouth that he wouldn't even dare to wipe away in fear it could wake her from her peaceful sleep. He could stay like this for hours without ever getting tired of it."

"Turning his head, he saw that he and Asuka were mostly still in the same position they'd fallen asleep in; her head wasn't on his shoulder anymore, but her arm was still draped across him.
She looked so peaceful, a far cry from her state during most of her recent waking hours. He felt like he could've watched her for hours."

"Fatigue bore so heavily upon Becky that she drowsed off to sleep. Tom was grateful. He sat looking into her drawn face and saw it grow smooth and natural under the influence of pleasant dreams; and by-and-by a smile dawned and rested there. The peaceful face reflected somewhat of peace and healing into his own spirit, and his thoughts wandered away to bygone times and dreamy memories."
