[ unfortunately canon only lets him kiss tifa because we are the tragic hets
let's not talk about his kissing experience or potential lack thereof. he is pretty decent at kissing is what matters, the way he answers her coaxing for a deeper kiss without any need for real prompting without hesitation. his movements are mostly gentle still, but there's an assuredness to them even as he trails his hand up from aerith's back, all the way to her shoulder and then her face, cupping her cheek. his touch is soft because she deserves tender, not because he's afraid of hurting her, and that's a difference in and of itself, maybe.
he is not thinking about the future because he is still not really aware that she's dead! right now she is real and in his arms and that is all he cares about! this is fine and will not blow up on them ever ]
