Despite his mutation, Kevin has had a girlfriend, and a boyfriend. He knows how to kiss. It's a skill, learned like any other.

He closes his eyes and wraps both arms around her, pulling her against the warmth of his body. But the kiss remains sweet, gentle, but not tentative at all. One hand buries itself in her hair, cupping the back of her head.

Then, his tongue brushes against her lips, seeking entrance. It's definitely a question and not a demand, those might come later in their relationship, but right now, he's still trying to feel his way through this. And feeling her pressed against him, and the warm metal of her ring cannot be beat. It can't.
