Jim let his own head tip a little towards Bones's, closing his eyes and smiling while his thumb brushed across soft skin in soothing circles. He was just happy he could be this close right now. Happy he didn't have to think twice before reaching for Bones's hand, that he knew he could hug or kiss him and that it wouldn't be met with confusion or even rejection. It was more freeing than he could put to words.

His smile softened at the kiss, his hand moving so his knuckles brushed across Bones's lips. "Anytime, Bones." Letting their linked hands drop back down, he tugged Bones along and guided him down the corridor, leading the way to his quarters.
