['I love you' - There are those words again, sharp and as potent as poison. They set his chest aflame, cause his ribs to constrict as he curls slightly against the other boy. Even after he'd done what he had, the Angel still loved him. Still cared. Still wanted him to be happy.
He's speechless. There are no words. Really, there aren't. What did one say exactly, to words of love? It's not something Shinji's very good at or familiar with - love, that is. It's as foreign as ever to him but something about Kaworu's words makes him feel a smidgen of hope. Maybe, just maybe, not all was lost.
Redemption was possible - it just needed to be obtained, somehow.]
It doesn't matter now. [The betrayal he felt? It had stung terribly. At the moment? He could care less. Sure, he's afraid. He's terribly afraid. Afraid of betrayal, afraid of being hurt again and of hurting others again...but at the same time Kaworu makes him feel safe.]
I forgive you it...it wasn't your fault. You didn't want to do what you did, just like I didn't want to either, right? If you can forgive me then...you don't have to worry about seeking forgiveness from the likes of me. The time we spent together...you made me happy, Kaworu-kun.
