It wasn't like he was planning on anything else today, but he would have been easily convinced to change them with that little move. There was a pleased sound somewhere at the back of his throat as he pulled his own maneuvers. He reached his own hand up to cradle Shinji's head, a spot of confidence to balance the almost shy way Kai moved his mouth against his.

He really wasn't sure how much he'd be able to convey it with just this. The effort was there, of course, but some things could have been lost in translation. Just how much Kai treasured Shinji's feelings, for example. Or how much he wanted to say he loved him, but he had no idea what love actually felt like and didn't want to say something that would hurt Shinji more instead. Just as another example.
