It rather sounds like what you are writing is not a platonic relationship but a frustrated romantic relationship.

It does, does it not? If your characters want to make out, there is nothing platonic about that (neither there is anything wrong with that, of course, it is only a matter of your choice of how to develop your story).

The question to ask yourself is why am I not letting them go at it, and does it work for the story?

If it does, invent a believable cause, explaining why the cannot be together, like they are separated by space or time (or both), if it doesn't, have mercy on them and let them behave in a natural for them way, whatever it might be, and concentrate on moving the story forward.
