Kai let another small smile slip as the dynamic duo made their way around the room. It was another small comfort that both of their friends made it with them. They were one more piece of normalcy in an extremely wild scenario, and one more bruise their hearts didn't need to carry.

Honestly wallowing on the bed seemed like a really good course of action. Despite all the fatigue hanging over them, sleep probably was a ways off with how keyed up they all were. Laying down was mighty appealing, but Kai didn't feel like doing it all on his own. Especially when they both looked so lost. The easy solution here was to just drag them both on the bed with him but... Kai watched them both, brows creasing.

Kyoko was a step closer. There were more soft touches to her hair as Kai brushed away a few of her bangs, giving her a very tender look. "Go ahead and rest a little," he murmured softly. "I'll be there in a sec." He knew Kyoko would understand, that hopefully that 'I' would be a 'We' once Kai checked on their favorite boy. Here was a long overdue kiss pressed carefully to her cheek, and a gentle nudge to the bed. It was her choice though.

Kai stepped over to crouch down next to Shinji, settling his palm at the boy's back again. If there were tears, Kai didn't call any attention to them, simply pressing Shinji's kiss right there against his hair. It was alright. Let it all out, bud.
