I've heard that the context of the kiss is that Sun is staying behind in Mistral with his team while the rest go to Atlas. The kiss was a sort of goodbye and "Well I'm not going to ignore that you and I had something going on, but I'm not going to make it last longer" sort of thing. That is, of course, up until Sun shows back up in the plot, which is very likely. And I also heard that Ilia is staying back with Blake's parents (awkward) so that leaves Blake near only one person who potentially likes her.

It's about context.
