[Oh, a pass of blame, is it? Something between that and an agreement, but Jack certainly catches that anyway, because he's invested in more than a few of those himself, in his own time, and that usually means that something rather questionable is about to happen--]
[And so, when the kiss does come, with that now-familiar light grasp at his chin to accompany it, Jack's actually more prepared for it this time than he had been the last two. ...More or less. Enough that now he doesn't freeze up in place, at least, without that edge of astonishment to lock him down so much. And somehow that particular brand of heat is a good deal more pleasant now than it had been before, no longer diluted by the shock of the idea, with the gentle press of lips and soft breath, warm breath that isn't his and never will be again, that'd been nothing more than a very vague memory until now.]
[Jack doesn't freeze, this time, but instead leans up into the kiss as well as he can with a soft hum that's out before he realizes it. The movement's tentative, uncertain and intrigued all at once as the contact stretches on longer than the last two had ever been, and there's certainly a part of his head throwing its arms up in the air and despairing of the fact that he really knows nothing about this whatsoever, and is probably doing something wrong--]
[But there isn't any room to think about that, right now. Because this is rather nice, really, almost enjoyable in all its novelty (and warmness...)]
