[That tiny smile is such a reward. It coaxes a smile back out of Kaworu, and he leans closer to him until their shoulders touch.]

To think that you would finally smile at me, Nageki, while already being so kind. I'm very grateful to have you as a friend.

[he'd come here because he'd been worried about him... and then helped him discover a new mystery about himself. No, he's truly blessed to have met this gentle, caring dove. Kaworu doesn't feel any need for someone to watch over him, but - in a way, Nageki was doing that, and it's really a flattering favor to receive.]

I love you, too. You have so much empathy. Thank you for coming here today, for being concerned about my well-being.
