John's become aware enough to not...be uncomfortable with it, in the open. Not really--not if the other guy isn't gonna get hurt. Truthfully, he doesn't really care what happens to him in particular at this point, not when he's spent his whole fucking life just surviving.
Now, he could--he can actually just have that little piece of himself he's always had to hide.
He shifts, hesitates, then reaches up to just barely touch the edge of Finnick's jaw with gentle, callused fingers as his eyes rove over his face. For the first time in his life, he lets himself look at a man he wants to kiss...that he's going to kiss. Who seems to want it, to kiss him.
"Not worried. Just don't wanna disappoint." he admits softly. He hesitates again, then starts to lean in slowly--give Finnick a chance to change his mind, time to back away.
And if he doesn't, John shuts his eyes, and with a sigh, he presses his lips to Finnick's for a soft first kiss that's been a long time coming for him.
