[Nageki is fairly certain Shinji isn't the only person Kaworu gave a Valentine to, but Nageki feels like now probably isn't the time to bring that up. this sounds like a more special sort of Valentine, if Kaworu means to say he gave it to Shinji personally, so Nageki doesn't do anything more than nod to acknowledge Kaworu's words, trying to encourage him to continue without interrupting to speak. he's much better at doing this, he thinks... just listening to what his friends have to say, instead of talking about himself. there's not very much about himself to talk about, to begin with, and it never seems like anything worth mentioning.
but Kaworu is different from him, in a lot of ways. he reaches out to others, and he's understanding, and when he isn't he tries to learn so he can be -- even just how often he smiles sets them apart. he's a very admirable person, even if Nageki doesn't know how to express it in the right way other than doing the simplest thing he can think of; he doesn't say anything, waiting for Kaworu to keep going with his story.]
