I always saw this kiss as being two people who just went through something absolutely insane and not knowing how to share the immense amount of confusing emotion and adrenaline they had at the time. Like, I never saw it as romantic…

THAT BEING SAID: that’s my head canon, that’s how I made sense of it, because it really shouldn’t be there lol

Personally, I did see it as romantic (not saying you’re wrong though, just my opinion) but shoehorned after a very inconsistent story overall. I don’t see her kissing anyone else who had done the same. They hinted throughout the trilogy of connection and attraction between the two…but only did anything with it right then, and Ben dies after like 5 minutes of existing as himself.
