"This time," Kaito lifts his left hand up to remove his cigarette, and with his other drags Sora forward and up. "Will probably be different."

Pulling Sora up by the collar gives him that promised bit of air, still not enough to really qualify as breathing easy, but far more than nothing. Which makes it too bad it doesn't last, because little more than a second after giving Sora the chance to get some air, Kaito drags up the rest of the way to kiss him.
