Reaching out for someone is a tough request, Shinji knows this, and while he made that decision to ask her out of a purely beneficial mindset, the second those chilly fingers wrap around his, it sets something extra warm stirring in Shinji's chest. This whole situation... is really cozy. Profoundly cozy, and awfully intimate, if he takes a moment to really sit on it. Of course, it's easy to package that thought up as 'what else are they supposed to do?' but it probably didn't need to be quite like this.
An extra layer of fondness settles over his worries about pushing Kyoko's boundaries too far, and he squeezes her hand gently in his. "I'm the one who asked for it, I don't think there's anything I can hold against you."
He'd easily forgive her, but ? for what ? he just doesn't know.
