[They have kissed a few times before, but this kiss is different. It's sweet, grounding. It's not just a vehicle for expressing passion, or for dragging them into a spiral that ends with one or both of them partially naked and spent. It's one with actual feelings behind it, feelings that Ali has been trying to staunchly write off as 'nothing serious'. But all the same, Ali finds himself responding to the kiss, kissing back with the same level of urgency and care.
Their arrangement is strange, to be sure, but Ali accepts it for what it is. They may try to put a name to it someday, but for now actions work fine in place of words.
Ali lets go of Concord's hand, and instead he brings his up to cup the sides of Concord's face. They're still warm from the magic he had been using, making his touches warmer and more welcoming. And when he has to break from the kiss to breathe, Ali finds himself watching Concord fondly.]

So I take it you accept my gift?
[Always cheeky, this one.]
