Thank you for that extra support, ensuring that Shinji will not get swept away in this clearly groundbreaking confession.
Just as he's been unsure about how to articulate his feelings on the more thorny aspects of today, he's also lost on how to really express his overwhelming gratitude at hearing those words. All he can really do for a few moments is press himself nice and close to Kai, nodding gently against him as that last sentiment is handed to him. He won't forget. He'll be holding on to this feeling as tightly as he can for as long as possible.
"Me too," he eventually squeaks out. Whenever he needs to say it, he will, but with that thought settling on his mind, it stirs up another thought that may, perhaps, resolve some of his feelings from earlier. They're probably baseless, probably, but maybe he'll feel a little better in the long run if he voices them.
"And if... if there's anything you need from me," he measures out his next words carefully, easing back juuust enough to make sure he can look up at Kai, and make sure he's heard clearly. His cheeks are still very red, and that's not about to change with what he has to say next. "Anything at all, that you might not be getting... please tell me."
