Jean has by now opened his eyes and he looks at Mikasa with a very bewildered look on his very, very red face - but he hasn't moved either. Frankly, he's afraid to move or do anything, but the air around him is very warm over his being embarrassed and sparkling over being very happy... but also very confused and startled which shows up with very tiny, confused lightning bolts.

What do they do now???

Mikasa is staring at him, confused and surprised by his reaction. What? Then it kind of hits her that maybe he thought it was ... a dream... not that she has any idea why he would dream of kissing with her but ... It seems like a logical conclusion with his reaction???

The girl is not sure what to do now either. She could quickly leave and make this super awkward but she is an extremely lovesick girl and he seems... Happy about it happening too between all of the other emotions there. Happy is good. Warm is good too. She feels both of those too despite being embarrassed too of her mistake of thinking he really meant it. He is usually saying things bluntly and seriously, so...!!! Does that mean he really wants her to kiss him??? She may be wrong, she is pretty bad at this whole translating thing even when Jean usually makes it easier for her by being honest.

Mikasa stays calm on the outside again. Nervous but calm. He is not pushing her away and she is not doing that to him either... He is so close. Still so very tempting. Even more now after that first one. She seems to take a deep breath and waits if he wants to do the same or something.... else, there is no rush with anything but after a moment she tries it again.

Her lips brush gently against his again for another soft kiss and another after that too and there will be even more if he doesn't stop her this time either.

Jean is definitely very warm and content over this happening, even if also very confused. At least he's calming down from his surprise which helps with the change in atmosphere being warmer - like a safe hug or a nice warm blanket after coming back inside from cold weather.

When she kisses him again, he closes his eyes. The air feels softer. Fluffier. Confusion is slipping away and changing into curiosity. So after the second kiss, Jean leans closer to kiss her carefully and softly in return.

Safest hug ever when he is always all about keeping Mikasa safe and having her as his number one priority. Yes she notices that back home too even when she doesn't say anything about it. So his hugs here always feel like the safest place ever anytime, it's really warm under their blanket here right now.

Mikasa closes her eyes too. Maybe this is a dream after all or at least this feels like a dream. Or if it is a dream, she doesn't want to wake up. Jean returns the kiss and her eyes fly open for a very short moment. Kissing feels... nice. Understatement. It feels amazing and kind of addictive from both sides of it, she continues with soft and gentle kisses, careful baby steps into it instead of rushing in. Maybe that could happen later. This feels good now and that is an understatement too.

Eventually they stop after kissing for what may be a long while even if it feels shorter. She could go on and on... She still goes for some more when she is first about to stop like she can't get enough of kissing with him now. There is a smile on her face when she pulls back from it and just ... looks at him while she has no idea what to say. Maybe she should explain it somehow, she is still trying to figure out words for that.

Honestly, Jean could continue this way forever, but he would definitely take more passionate, deeper kisses too and continue those forever. Just having this happen is a long dream come true and he doesn't want it to end. He's fine with baby steps. Fine with fast development too. Honestly, he's fine if this is the first and the last time, if that was what made Mikasa comfortable. He'd hope for more, but would never push it.

His heart is beating crazy fast and his face is most likely very deep red... but he's smiling, too. A smile he's likely shown before, too, but now it's even brighter. The pure, sweet, genuine joy and affection.

He, too, is lost for words for now. Or maybe he's waiting for her to say something instead.
