Give him a second to pull one of his own hands back away from Kai's, briefly shaking a little bit of water off of it so that he can raise it up and lightly touch Kai's cheek. A nice anchor point to distract him from how wildly his heart is beating by this point. It's not a thought he'd ever really let float through his mind - it's always been such an impossible outcome, as far as he'd been concerned. As such, it doesn't feel like a particularly easy action to try and follow through on, but he really, really wants to try regardless.
So, he shifts a little, enough so that he can line himself up with Kai's forehead, and leans in. He's got this, he's got this...!
And here we go! Shinji presses his lips to Kai's brow, very gently, very carefully.
