[Ritsuka's instincts are, in this as in most things, spot on.
She doesn't give him time to second-guess or doubt. Instead, she's taking the plunge, and her reward is a quiet, breathy noise out of Minato, partially surprise but mostly very intrigued and encouraging.
He's not a loud human being at any time, really, so the noise itself is a bit of a surprise for him; he chases it up by trying to coax her into a deeper, more lingering kiss, partially because he wants to, and partially... to try to cover up how embarrassed he is that she was able to draw something out of him so easily.
