God. Damn. That was a really hot kiss and a total payoff, because the thing here was not so much UST, as it was the build up of emotional tension, the realization that, yes, staying a bud was more tight than the risk it took to blossom. (Brilliant poem choice, btw.)
I also like that this isn't Twu Wub foreva and eva ayemen. Tim's accepting of the fact that it's probably not going to last, but, if I may reference another poem (whose title and author I can't recall, I think it's Parker or St Vincent Millay) you have to take love when it comes. You can't take it and tuck it in your pocket for later, and this story captures that perfectly.
And yeah, he's going to talk to her without words, and make a memory, and it's going to be a profound one.
