[The Point of No Return has left the station, there's no going back now. When Ryder doesn't pull away from his touch again it's a small victory and he'll take whatever he can get right now. It's even better when their eyes finally are able to meet.
It's good to hear that there's an understanding between them, that while they're two different men they have a lot in common in some ways. Ways that help Ryder overcome the betrayal of his lies a little easier with time. Usually Reyes is one to have more than plenty to say, but Ryder is moving to take his hand and he's rendered speechless by him.
An echo of their moment under the setting sun of Kadara, he looks vulnerable in ways he doesn't let most others see him. Reyes knows he's not talking, he should be saying something, the silence will only poison the tender bridge they're trying to build between each other. Blinking rapidly as if snapping out of a daze he'll return Ryder's hold, giving his hand a squeeze, free hand coming up, fingers grazing over his cheek to cradle his face as he dips in to claim his lips. Maybe it's presumptuous of him, but in the moment it felt like the right thing to do. It's not as soft as the kiss it's echoing, there's a desperation to it and a passion.
