As much as that small motion didn't provide a lot of clarity, it still did plenty to answer at least one question. Had he meant it to be said? No. Probably not. Had he meant it...? That was about as far as Kai could get before everything fizzled and overloaded.
What would it mean if he hadn't? ... What would it mean if he had?
Kai really didn't know. He didn't know why his chest suddenly felt so full, or why his heart felt in his throat. It seemed like his ears were full of cotton if he dared to look anywhere but at Shinji, who seemed to be the only thing moving in real time here. That was probably why Kai had reached up with his free hand, reaching out towards the only source of clarity in his immediate vicinity.
The motion was a bit clumsy as Kai's fingers skirted over Shinji's hand. He was trying to find his way to Shinji's cheek, to carefully turn his face towards him. Maybe, he thought, it would make more sense if Kai could see him.
