Gosh, as if they needed an extra level of coze in here.
Shinji offers another contented sigh, closing his eyes and letting a tiny smile slip its way into his expression as he leans back against Kai and basks in just how nice it feels, like there's an extra layer of trust there, to have Kai initiate these cozy leans.
"It feels like we've been doing a good job with it."
By their own measures, anyway. They've survived pretty much unscathed - and more than that, but actually generally happy, too. How unbelievable. How astoundingly comfortable. All Shinji has to do is not mess up what they've got, and this is already so much more than he could have ever hoped for. Whether or not the gentle encouragement from the hot springs ruin those efforts is yet to be seen.
"If I get to keep seeing you smile like that, then I know I'm doing something right by you. That's all I need."
