Considering how they go about pursuing their love interests, doesn't that run the risk of being construed as asking them on a date or something?

Update time! Screw waiting for Friday! @DeviantD, @PatrickDiomedes, you both earned this one.
Hikari demands to know what's been going on with her best friend. And Rei... gets angry.
Or it could be stylish like this:
Ok, really more like this:
Chapter 9.2
Everything I Do...
+++
Asuka practically bounced out of her chair once the bell sounded for lunch, Shinji following close behind. Asuka had a broad grin on her face as she made a beeline for Hikari's desk. Even though she was closer, Touji managed to arrive first, nearly bowling a couple of slower students out of the way as he zoomed right to his smiling girlfriend's side.
Asuka snorted as she took in the tight handclasp the two had already snapped into. "Been missing your boytoy, Hikari?"
"You have no idea, Asuka." Hikari looked at Shinji right behind her. "Or maybe you do. You owe me some stories, girlfriend. You and Ikari-kun for months, hmm?" She gave Asuka a raised eyebrow. "How come you didn't tell me?"
Asuka made a placating gesture. "We had reasons to keep it secret, I promise. But we're public now. You missed us announcing it to the whole school Monday." She gave a short laugh. "Just like you just announced you and Osaka-boy here to anyone in the class that didn't know already."
Hikari blushed a little at the reminder. "I missed him," she muttered.
"How did you get out of the hospital, Class Rep? Asuka was on the verge of organizing a Pilots' rescue mission for you this afternoon," Shinji asked.
Hikari shrugged. "I don't know why, but this morning, right after breakfast, Doctor Akagi just came in and said I could go and that she'd call me back in for tests as needed. She seemed pretty intent on getting me out the door in a hurry, actually. My father and sisters won't be home until this afternoon, so I left a message for father and came straight here."
"Really missed the boytoy," Asuka said dryly to Shinji. Hikari ducked her head and blushed more, but could hardly deny how it looked.
She raised her head back up, brightening. "So, boy talk over lunch? Or couples' meet? You… I am pretty sure I remember seeing that…" Her voice dropped. "That you and Ikari-kun are… are you really sleeping together?!" she almost whispered.
Asuka laughed and looked at Shinji, who was laughing too. "And I thought my dear baka and I were in synch. That is almost exactly what Suzuhara said to us a couple days ago, verbatim." Asuka held up her bento. "Come on, let's go find a spot to eat lunch. We'll tell you why we had to hide things and where we stand now."
As they filed out the front door of the classroom, Shinji suddenly looked back. "Hey… where did Rei go?"
+++
Even on the campus of Tokyo-3 North Municipal Middle School there were isolated spots of greenery. The tree-shaded lunch table near the back of campus was at the edge of a grove of trees that would have made a modest park out in the city. On the grounds of the school, they formed a nice, somewhat isolated area out of sight from most of the main buildings and teachers, making it a popular spot for private lunches amongst the schools couples… or a decent spot for an interrogation.
Rei hadn't had to do anything more than follow the new student. He seemed headed this way all on his own, for whatever reason. And regardless of why, once he was under the shade of the trees, looking around with a slight smile and humming some melody she thought she'd heard Shinji play on his cello before, Rei decided it was time to strike.
She pitched her voice low, intending it just for his ears. It came out in a tone as cold and hard as she had once aimed at Shinji when he questioned his father's competence. "Stop."
Nagisa halted his slow amble through the trees, turning to face her. He did not seem surprised at all, merely smiling amusedly at her. "Music is wonderful, isn't it? Singing brings joy and revitalizes the human soul. I think song is the highest achievement of the Lilim culture. Don't you agree?"
Rei stared at him hard. "Who are you?"
His slight smile grew a little wider. "Ah? I thought I had introduced myself in the classroom. I am Kaworu Nagisa." He swept her a small bow. Straightening up, he continued, "The Fifth Child." He tilted his head, eyeing her. "You are the First Child, Rei Ayanami-san? You are just like me. So, both of us ended up in the same form as the Lilim while we inhabit this planet."
Rei's stare got colder. "Who are you? Why is your light… different? I cannot see you like everyone else."
"I am just like you. I have been sent here to Pilot an Evangelion." He broke the stare with her and looked up at the sun-dappled trees around them. "This is a marvelous city. It is so full of life and interesting people." He looked back at Rei, still smiling. "I am very interested in the Third Child. He has… such a pure heart. And the Second Child was with him? Even more interesting. I think I want to meet this Shinji Ikari..."
Rei's voice was cold as ice now. "You will stay away from them."
Nagisa's eyebrows went up a little. "Stay away? Why should I do that? We are all the designated Children, are we not? And I want to see him closer. You should not interfere with me. There are parties that would become quite angry with you, or them if you did. Something might happen to them."
Rei felt her skin prickle as her hair stood on end. "You will not harm them! I will not permit it!" she growled. She could feel her power thrumming through her. Her hands began to curl into claws and her uniform skirt began to ruffle despite the lack of wind. A red glow began to shine through her narrowed eyes.
Nagisa blinked at this and took a step back. "Be calm, First Child. I mean them no harm. My interest in Shinji Ikari is over his pure heart and key place in these events. He is… a fascinating example of the power of the human heart. I wish to know his heart, to learn his feelings. I thought he would be so sad, alone. I want to understand how he endured it. But he is not. Man can never completely erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone."
"His heart is not for you to play with. He is not a toy, or a doll. His heart belongs to Asuka, and those that love him. I will not allow you to imperil that, or inflict pain upon them," Rei warned, her voice still low and hostile. The glow from her eyes eased, but did not vanish.
Nagisa stepped nearer, still smiling. "Pain is something that man must endure in his heart. And since the heart feels pain so easily some believe life is pain. People can be delicate like glass, that is, their hearts can be." He cocked his head and looked at Rei inquisitively. "Do you feel such pain?"
Rei nodded coolly. "Every moment of my existence. But I have found reasons to live, and face that pain. The rewards are worth every second of pain. All of it is worth it."
Nagisa seemed honestly curious. "What is?"
Rei raised her chin. "Their love. For each other and for me. I have told them of my feelings and they did not reject me. Even I can be loved."
Nagisa's eyebrows rose. "Even you? Do they know what you are, like me?"
Rei hesitated. "They do not. But I am not afraid to tell them. We were going to talk today, and I intend to tell them. I have no fear of being honest with them. They will still care for me, and I for them." Her eyes narrowed again. "You would be wise to remember and fear that. I will protect them, from you or anyone."
Kaworu's smile faded away. "If you do, then you will tell them nothing."
Rei's eyes narrowed further and her lips flattened into a line. "Explain. Rapidly."
Kaworu looked off into the sky, away from her, his face now calm and flat. "The parties I mentioned? They do not want knowledge of you or I spreading, lest it interfere with their plans. They have killed for less. Telling your… friends what you are is the sort of thing they erase people for. If you wish to protect them, you cannot let them know. Those who seek to become the new gods of the Lilim will allow no leaks that might imperil their plan."
Rei bristled, and had to fight down the impulse to attack him. "And you?" she said, low and dangerous. "Will you help them do that? Who do you obey? SEELE?"
"They think I am theirs. That is why they sent me," he said, his smile faintly returning.
"Are you?"
"By my own will, I will not harm them at all. But if you want to protect them, you can tell them nothing of us, our natures, or the plans of SEELE and NERV. That is the kind of knowledge they kill for."
Rei glared at him like she wanted to set him on fire. "I want to tell them. They are my friends, the ones I fight for and beside. I want to be true and honest with those I love. You cannot understand how important this is to me."
"Even to risk their lives over it? This 'love' must be truly powerful." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "This body has been producing some interesting and intense drives to explore. Perhaps I should 'love' Shinji too? Or them both, you say?"
The Fifth Child bounced hard off the oak tree, flying another few feet before skidding to a stop in an untidy heap of limbs on the grass near the lunch table. He sat up unsteadily after a moment, a blazing red handprint on his left cheek. "……ow?"
Rei stared at her right hand. She never made her body move so fast before. There hadn't been even a second of thought, just the sudden urge to slap him until he stopped saying such rage-inducing things. 'Those are MY loves, you invader! MINE! AWAY! HISSSSSSSS~!'
Nagisa touched his cheek gingerly. "Yes, ow. Ow is the word." He struggled to his feet, shaking his head dizzily. He focused on her after some difficulty. "Did I say something wrong?"
He focused a little better when Rei grabbed the front of his shirt and yanked his face close to hers. "You will not touch them! Their bond is the most beautiful thing in this world!" she almost shouted right in his face. "They love me and I them, and even I will not risk disrupting it! You will not 'love' them! You will do nothing that might disrupt it! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" She shook him like a rat in a terrier's mouth.
"I ow! I ow! I ow! I understand!" Nagisa said, eyes spinning under Rei's onslaught. "M-may I at least be permitted to speak to them? We are to be Pilots together. It would be odd if I did not."
Rei let go of his shirt, letting him fall back onto the ground. Nagisa crumpled, his second awkward landing ending with him staring up at Rei. Backlit by the midday sun, eyes still glowing faintly, glaring down at her prey, Nagisa couldn't help but gape in awe at the angry goddess looming over him.
'His wide-eyed stare is a pleasing display of fear and respect,' Rei thought. 'And his red eyes make a pleasant compliment to the handprint.' Relenting slightly, she nodded. "Under escort. Come. You may join us briefly for the remainder of lunch."
She turned and began walking away, back towards the building where they usually ate lunch on the roof.
Nagisa sat staring for a long moment before he rose to follow her. He touched the slap mark on his face and winced. "…love is even more powerful than I thought. And dangerous. Intriguing," he said to himself, following the bluenette.

I suppose that we are reaching the point in The Game where the pilots are becoming expendable, so this argument isn't as spurious as it might seem on its face.
Is it me, or is does he have a point here:
Straw-Rei: I love them so much, I'm willing to endanger their lives in order to feel closer to them! Surely, this is an act of selfless love and not at all prioritizing my emotional well-being over their very lives.
And thus begins the story of how Kaworu Nagisa became Rei's
