The moment just before when two characters are about to [[kiss]].

The characters' mouths should be in close proximity to each other. Often there will be [[head_tilt|head tilting]], [[blush|blushing]], [[grabbing another's chin|chin grabbing]], [[closed eyes|eye closing]] (alternatively, direct [[eye_contact|eye-to-eye contact]]) and other such bodily cues present.

Not to be confused with [[incoming kiss]], which is an incoming kiss from the character to the viewer.

Depending on how ambiguous it is, this tag may overlap with [[after kiss]].
