It's always fair to execute caution around Oswald. Anyone who knows anything about him should know better than to be complacent in his presence, especially when his emotions are concerned. And Ed, even now, knows Oswald better than anyone and has the good sense to know even he doesn't necessarily know what Oswald will do.
There's a deep-seated sense of relief that arrives for Oswald when Ed returns to him, leaning in to meet him in closing the gap, connecting up that circuit once more, lighting everything up once more.
Both his hands grasp in the front of Ed's jacket now, like he's trying to make sure he won't just slip away again or afraid he's only grasping at some kind of dream.
But this time, yes, he is more in the moment even if his head spins from disbelief. While he still lacks a particular kind of practiced finesse, Oswald certainly has more sense of his way around a kiss now than he had a couple of days ago, which comes in handy as his lips brush Ed's fully and with absolutely no ambiguity now about what he feels in relation to all this. There's almost a level where this entire unbelievable experience is sort of overwhelming.
