Dawn likes Liberty! He didn't think much of him one way or the other at first, other than that Liberty talked to him just to... talk, which made Dawn feel..happy. 8D; And so then after that, in the dying game. Granted, Dawn was REALLY LUCKY, cuz there are a bunch of people more important to him than Liberty, especially at that time. But they were all safe! So the only person he really knew that died was Liberty and he still felt very bad about that. So he went to sit with him and feel sad but Liberty was okay and Dawn was all really emotionally vulnerable at that time because. LOL EVERYTHING WAS TERRIBLE so. Just. Being able to tell someone he liked them and them liking him back was really important.
Uuh and then he really... Luke has a terrible sense of boundaries! Like he just... particularly as an amnesiac. He knows that things FEEL WEIRD sometimes but when he is in this mode of 'I am a tool and I was never meant to exist and my entire life was a lie and I have no value and I was used and thrown away by the most important in my life' he is just....so incredibly needy. So Kaworu touching him, making him blush, asking him questions and basically doing or wanting anything from him is absolutely find as long as you don't reject him 8D; At this point in his life, Luke will love anyone unconditionally as long as they want him for some reason.
Which isn't to say Luke doesn't genuinely like and care about Kaworu and want to help him for reasons not utterly dependent on ...needing to have value to someone. Buuuut that is mostly what is driving him at this point.
To be fair though, post-Akzeriuth Luke is like that for a long time and it never completely leaves him, though he does eventually become more healthy about it. Luke is just sooooo broken the ways he can interact with people is kind of limited because even if you have NO INTENTIONS TO USE HIM AT ALL he still kind of. Wants. To be used. Cuz he wants to be OF use!
Annnyyway. So basically anything Kaworu does is fine. The reason Luke looked at Kaworu's memory, the reason he lets Kaworu hang on him, the reason he doesn't mind Kaworu making him blush constantly, or kissing him, all ultimately ties back to "I will do whatever he wants as long as he likes me and doesn't reject me". BUT he also genuinely was curious about the memory, genuinely does like the... contact of being touched by someone else, and genuinely does have an eighteen year old boy's body and does like kissing. And while KISSING LUKE at this point in his emotional development is definitely taking advantage of him...Luke is in such a mental place right now where it's virtually impossible to NOT take advantage of him in some way and frankly BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF MAKES HIM FEEL BETTER CUZ HE HAS BEEN USEFUL \o/;; So idk keep it up Kaworu GG.

They are... surprisingly uncomplicated. Actually.
