[There's no resistance as Zelos is pulled down to eye-level and even closer. And that same flicker of surprise meets his face as it happens, too. Somehow, no matter how much Jack had just accepted his own advancing or claimed to enjoy it or shared feelings or anything of that stuff-- it just didn't compute in his mind that the guy might want to initiate it himself.
And it's that thought that lays the heavy realization on him that this could be something mutual. Hope comes with a large level of uncertainty with Zelos. One that normally doesn't get the chance to show. But here? It's in the way he holds his breath until that small kiss is planted, the way his cheeks are colored the slightest bit for the first time in all of this, and the way his arms are a little slower to reacting than the rest of him is.
He smiles right on into that kiss, pressing back and just as easily slipping into that smooth way of kissing he seems to know. But it's personal and different, too, and he's quicker to run out of breath. His hands are late to fall into place at Jack's waist, but when they finally do, he can't help himself from pushing Jack back gently even more, searching out and taking in the crisp cold feeling of it.
Shit, this is-- Kissing, just kissing. He should be able to stay composed for just this! But he's quickly losing his thoughts of logic and consequence for feelings and hope and... It's a little frightening. Like the rest of this had been, but this time it's enough to catch him a bit off guard as he's guiding Jack back, and he stumbles a bit in his footing. Very un-Zelos in appearance, but he doesn't break the kiss, and while one hand wraps around Jack's waist to hold him close and keep from any tripping incidents, the other arm moves to catch them both on the wall for support even as he presses closer with a low hum.
This might be things heating up too fast, but Jack initiated something and Zelos is so blown away by it that he's kind of a snowball rolling down a mountain at this point. He doesn't... want to think about the possibility of rejection or mind changing or bad ideas or anything else.]
JACK YOU UNLEASHED FEELINGS now look what happens
