Oh God, I remember when that first kiss came out, I kept rewinding it and watching it again! Then they made Jess and Nick's relationship go to hell in the third season :(
Nick also figured out towards the end of the series that most of his aversion to "adulting" was just because he didn't believe in himself enough. The whole "I took the bar and passed and still became a bartender" and the entire two seasons worth of storylines of him and Schmidt buying the bar and him finally writing his novel (one of the only sitcom endgames that ever made sense to me tbh) were him realizing that he had to start actually making an effort in his life and stop letting things just /happen/ to him.
He and Jess made sense by the end to me personally because he'd actually grown as a person, friend, and man while Jess had grown to figure out that the fairy tale "we're perfect for each other" relationship doesn't exist. Jess had an extremely idealized view of love after the bullshit that Spencer put her through while also still wanting to be a "cool" girlfriend who doesn't bother her boyfriend. By the time they got together for endgame, Jess was a much more confident and assertive person and able to ask for what she wanted.
I never finished the series tho, idk...
