Love at first sight might also be a theme. Maybe in the fanfiction, Thomas and Lady meet and there's an instant spark that leads to their kiss. It could be a story of how two characters from different worlds or circumstances are drawn to each other immediately. Another theme could be the overcoming of obstacles. There could be external factors like social status differences or personal beliefs that they have to work through to be together after the kiss.
One common theme could be forbidden love. Since it might be unexpected for Thomas and Lady to kiss, the idea of their relationship being against some sort of norm or expectation can be explored.
A theme that might show up is self - discovery. Through their relationship starting with the kiss, both Thomas and Lady could learn more about themselves. For example, Thomas might discover a more passionate side of himself, and Lady could find that she's willing to break free from certain constraints for love. Also, the theme of redemption could be present. If either character has made mistakes in the past, their relationship could be a path towards redemption.
