He wasn't expecting to go back to kissing so quickly, but he's happy to do so, immediately tilts his head back and reciprocates warmly and without hesitation. His heart is racing with excitement and he buries his hands in Ginsberg's hair, running his fingers through it, not caring about the damp. For all that he said he hadn't been on a lot of very successful dates, Ned thinks he is really a rather good kisser. Maybe he's just a natural at it.

"This was a great idea," Ned murmurs in the tiny gap between kisses. He reaches between the and grabs hold of Ginsberg's tie, loosening it just a touch with a questioning kind of air, waiting for some kind of permission that he can go on.
