There was something almost electric about the way Shinji's fingertips skirted over his hair. For a moment, Kai could have sworn that maybe he'd done something by accident. It didn't seem that way though? There was no alarm happening, just all of this. It was pretty close to a hair ruffle though. Enough so that Kai let his eyes slip close for a moment, a soft smile on his lips.
Undeniably, there was a small part of him that was holding on to a scrap of guilt that he hadn't done anything more back home. The nights of anxious highways hadn't entirely gone away yet. But who knew if anyone still needed him? ... Who knew if they'd ever needed him in the first place?
"Me too," Kai agreed, looking at Shinji again. "S'good thing we've got a lot of work to do, I guess."
