Lorenz taking the initiative to be the one to kiss Claude this time is a little nerve-wracking in ways he hadn't expected. It's so easy to question himself, to second guess and assume he's done something incorrectly at the slightest hesitation. But Claude's hand settles against his chest and, though he's certain the other man will be able to feel the way his heart beat picks up beneath his hand, he does relax into the kiss slightly.

He allows it to linger, to hover there for a long moment before he begins to draw back, breath rushing out in a shaky sort of laugh. "I- I'm sorry. You were saying something and I-"

Another huff of self conscious laughter as he shakes his head dismissively. Let himself get all sorts of distracted just by Claude's proximity
