Ah.. no... Kai's chest felt a little tighter, and all he wanted was to lean over and kiss her. He kept a careful hold of that desire though. Emotions weren't running high enough right now that she wouldn't mind, and he didn't want to do that to Shinji either. For now he'd be content with channeling the feeling through his fingers as he shifted the headpats into tender strokes through her hair.

"It's so much," Kai agreed softly. "Don't be sorry. I know I offered to go first, but I don't actually wanna go anywhere without either of you just yet."
