Valentine's, or whatever you might call it, is a holiday devoted to love. On the other hand, sex itself is neither obligatory nor significant enough to be what Valentine's is about.
Many... couples, do take the opportunity to express their love through sexual acts on Valentine's, but because it's meant to be a special gesture it isn't something you're supposed to do with anyone and everyone you care for.
I'm afraid I would have to call you mistaken if you believe that there is no separation of desires when it comes to pursuing a relationship with others.
I'm not threatening you, Kaworu. It is merely a cautionary piece of advice for you to consider while associating with your friends, so as to avoid hurting their feelings or your own.
[Nageki's strong feelings on this definitely make him wonder...]
If I hurt them, then it is only a part of the nature of love itself. If my feelings are capable of being placed into the categorieis used by Lilim, I wouldn't know how to do so. I only know that I feel love for you, for Shinji-kun, and for everyone else I care for.
[Nageki can't help but soften a little bit at that. It's not like he can't at least somewhat understand what it's like to be at a loss for how to comprehend his feelings, let alone know what to do with them.
If anything, it's somewhat difficult to know how to reply to that... it's not as if Nageki isn't happy that Kaworu feels that way towards him, or as if he doesn't want him to, but when it's from someone who seems to know little of boundaries Nageki can't be blamed that his heart thumps loudly in his chest as he reads Kaworu's words. Nervousness? Maybe... but it's surely not his business, even so. He shouldn't impose himself upon the idea as if Kaworu has any personal obligation to him.]
Nonetheless, it is also in the nature of love to avoid hurting them if possible.
It would be harsh and unrealistic to expect that you would be able to completely integrate your feelings into the same formulas expressed by Lilim. Perhaps it's something you will never be able to do.
But, because you are someone that I also love, I would be happy to do my best to help you should you ever need it. There are certainly better candidates than me for that, though.
[Nageki can't see it, but Kaworu is smiling ear to ear. Being told that you're loved is wonderful, even when he's aware of what motivates Lilim to develop those emotions. Hearing it gives him a warm, quaint, peculiar kind of feeling.]
I would be so happy to learn about these things from you, Nageki-kun.
[There's no way to judge the amount of emotion behind Kaworu's words in text, but all the same Nageki feels his face get just a little bit hotter. Will he ever get accustomed to being given another person's gratitude?]
...Alright. But I wouldn't blame you if you changed your mind later.

Which ones, then?

I'm sorry. The boundaries and texture of Lilim companionship are very mysterious.
[But why is this topic of conversation so inciting for Nageki? That's interesting, too.]
