[Souji sticks out his tongue at Kashuu because rude, lets see him being a smooth operator considering they probably are not that unevenly matched in the noble art of flirting. Having his hair ruffled makes him laugh-squeak a bit indignantly, but it's followed by a soft little hum as he twists around on his back and gazes up at Kashuu.
He's not sure how to explain the next part. What he'd felt for Kashuu doesn't actually match up with the feeling of "this person is my everything, all other priorities are secondary, they're the reason for my existence and determine my place in the world" which he would automatically assume is the only way to feel about someone you claim to be in love with because he's a complete weirdo. Nor does his actual, untampered feelings.
It's more that what Ceres had cooked up and what he actually feels isn't actually that different. Apart from the whole wanting to get in his pants, because he's really not sure how he feels about that at all, thanks. Basically, it's making him consider for the first time ever that there is a sliding scale of loving people, and the whole thing isn't a cut and dry either/or situation. To Souji, who doesn't have the mental capacity to really process shades of grey, the whole matter is kind of daunting and seems incredibly complicated.
Sighing, he slowly untangles from his blanket enough to sit up next to Kashuu, trying to find a way to at least hint at this great big ball of tangled thoughts and feelings.]
I guess what I mean is... it's easy to just say that was all some weird Ceres thing, but does that actually mean that this doesn't feel different and kind of weird now. [And just like that, he leans in and presses a soft kiss to Kashuu's cheek. It's rather close to the corner of his mouth, and maybe that would mean it wouldn't be considered entirely a friend kiss, but it would never have made them think twice before.
