[It's in things like this that 2B knows she misses the mark when it comes to the emotional attachments she knows 9S wants. From him asking her to call him Nines to... well, everything, really, she holds herself back out of an ingrained fear of when she'll have to kill him.
She knows it will take work to find herself being the person 9S wants, knows that she's already failed more than once. She's tried to make it better but maybe it's time to try harder. Maybe there is something she can do to take away his doubts.
When his hand rubs her back she tenses slightly, but only because this gesture is unfamiliar. Her back is exposed thanks to the window cutout of her dress and his gloves are soft against her skin, and after a moment she sighs and relaxes against him again.]
You should think of something special for our... date. [It sounds so funny when it's coming from her, not natural like it does when 9S says it with his sunny, cheerful voice. She doesn't like it in her own low, placid tone, but this isn't about what she likes.] When I have the means for it, we can do whatever you want.
