Oh yes, he found something interesting when he opened his eyes. After all the pushing and pulling, after all of the fights; something happened to him that convinced Shinji that being by Kaworu's side was alright to endure.
He can hazard a few guesses, considering that at the moment, they can only be located in the Cranial Nerv. Kaworu would really like to remember what it was, but at the moment, Kaworu's going to try a brand new tactic, one that he's never employed before: never look the gift horse in the mouth.
Lilim practices, whether or not they could be pulled off successfully, certainly were helpful when tried.
Shinji sleeps. Kaworu watches him and finally risks a gamble, settling a hand on Shinji's hair. He could get yelled at, smacked, or pushed away - he's used to all of those things.
But there are no ill or adult intentions here. Just... comfort, for one or both of them.

Kaworu waits.
