Oh, hey there. Kai blinked in surprise as Shinji took what was rightfully his. That quickly settled into something much happier as Kai leaned in to seal the deal, reaching up to cup Shinji's cheek.

They were good, just like he knew they'd be. It was a little bumpy, yes, and Kai wasn't super sure he understood which part of the problem was the actual problem. Talking, though. Talking was good.

Kai kept this one short and sweet, but he didn't stray far. He'd been thinking on it for a while, but he was pretty sure he was comfortable with the name now. He placed another kiss at Shinji's temple, murmuring.

"Love you."
