They just lick eachothers faces. One is nine, and the other is one yrs old. Is it just affection?

It's called allo-grooming, or something like that. It establishes and maintains bonds between cats, even if they're not from the same litter.

When you get two cats together that get along well, they will wash places that are hard to reach on themselves. Faces, ears, back of the neck. It's a great way for them to bond and also very healthy. You won't have ear problems with a multiple cat home where they wash each other.

It's a natural occurance. Cats, when they get along tend to groom each other. Is it affection, sort of. It is a good sign, better this then fighting.

They are grooming each other and is a sign of acceptance one of the other in cat society

If there's a new female cat near that will cause them to fight.

brotherly love. its a social thing. like baboons/monkeys grooming one another.
or each licking the others last bits of food from their faces.

It's just a way of cleaning places they can't reach. It's usually not sexual in any way.
