After all, by doing what he did, technically, Jaune did guess! Or his body did, anyway.
Too well, maybe. This is the most deliberate contact they've ever had. She'd been expecting The Kiss to be maybe like the others: stolen in a moment between life and death, snatched from the arms of an accident or wedged between the beams of a burning building. She thought maybe they'd be sprinkled kisses, nervous and mindless and therefore inauthentic. That either she or Jaune (odds favour Jaune slightly, as in everything, good or ill) would land strategically on the other after falling from a great, though never fatal, fall and actually stay that way for more than three seconds. She'd thought that when they kissed for real it would be like the last time: an exhale of relief. An urge sated.
(1/drumroll i set even for "yes" on rng SHH)
