My personal headcanon is that they've been kissblocked by the Shadow War and that the almost-kiss Ivanova interrupted may have been the first almost-kiss they had but it was certainly NOT the last. Look at them, you can almost see them going, "wait, we can actually kiss now? Ivanova isn't going to pop up and ruin the moment again? Nobody's going to start firing right at this second?" :D
