[ Close, but also terrible. Or not terrible, just ill-advised and as much as he's enjoying the kiss (spark of butterflies and all) he knows that this isn't the time for it. Too many emotions in the air. Last time they got caught up like this it went too far and then, not long after, he had to retreat. It's too fragile a situation to do that again and even though he doesn't shy away from the kiss, he does keep it light and eventually let it taper off into a nuzzle. ]
