Well, DxC is a very quirky couple. If you think about it, they rarely made each other happy in Season 1 as well. In fact, it could be argued that the only times they're able to express how much they truly care about each other is when they're apart. Why? It's because they've each cultivated such a fierce image of themselves that being "tender" to each other in public would be seen as weak. That's why moments like those are few and far between. And even though they've kissed numerous times throughout the series, that doesn't really betray their individual images because those kisses are spontaneous and happen on the spur of the moment. It's just another quirk about the relationship, albeit one that'll probably fade away if they get back together again (due to Courtney learning to embrace Duncan, growing a heart, etc.)
