The thing is, Jim and Bones were a couple long before they started dating. They were connected as soon as they met on that shuttle. Dating or not, romantic or not, they were always going to end up together some way or another. And when one of them (Jim) finally finds the courage to admit their feelings to the other? Well, then the other one (Bones) just stares for a moment because "of course we love each other," and Jim has to bite back a laugh because "yes, but that's not what I meant," and then their lips are pressed together and it's mostly teeth because neither can keep from smiling, but it doesn't even matter because its perfect.
