Ha, that would be something, wouldn't it? The two Angels and their fat gay pets. Might be fun, I might have to try writing that.
Though I'm not sure yet if Asuka in this scenario is really lesbian for Rei or not. Shinji's completely gay for Kaworu at this point but Asuka may merely see Rei as a friend and caretaker. A surrogate mother figure, essentially, someone to pamper and tend to her in her obese dotage. Rei, meanwhile, is more attracted to Asuka's decline than anything, I think she enjoys Asuka being a fat wreck because she gets to tend to her.
I did write up here
>>10115 that I could easily see Asuka falling into exactly the same scenario as Shinji. The two of them are not so different, psychologically; Asuka's bravado from the beginning of NGE is all a facade, as we see, and she's as needy and desperate for affection as Shinji in her own way. I always knew, as a result, that there was a vector to her becoming a fat, coddled pet just like I was writing Shinji. I just needed someone to do the coddling. I needed a character who could be to Asuka what Kaworu was to Shinji in my stories. I couldn't figure out who it would be, who would be the best fit. It couldn't be Hikari because Hikari's tied to the "normal" side of Eva and would never go in for this sort of deviant manipulation. I thought briefly of maybe introducing a human form of one of the Angels, probably Arael given its unique place in Asuka's mental and physical collapse in the show.
I don't know why it took me this long to realize that I could just use Rei. Granted, the two of them are not friends in the show, far from it. But Rei's a motherly character, as Shinji himself observes in the anime, and having a fat pet around to pamper and spoil seems right up her alley. Not to mention I can see her getting off on Asuka's slow physical collapse as obesity wrecks her health. My idea is that Rei is essentially pampering Asuka to death and really enjoying it, because it fulfills her motherhood impulse and also breaks the pride of the girl who always annoyed her.
Also, she's got all the Angel powers Kaworu does, or at least Rei 3 has them. She's got the superhuman strength and the AT Field manipulation, which is quite handy for dealing with an obese, unhealthy, incontinent pet.
It really does work out quite nicely. I will probably write more Asuka and Rei fics. And that double date is a fun idea. Between Shinji and Asuka, I wonder who would soil themselves first.
