Rung didn't make his decision alone. For Max, the idea that he had formed an attraction to Rung was- well. Unthinkable. Yet here it was, and surely not because Rung had just been nice to him- no. There was something more there, an honest admiration and fondness and, well.

Suffice it to say that Rung found Max moving of his own will without much (if any) encouragement at all, optic offlining and a distinctly 'frag it all' look coming to forefront as he turned the simple brush in to a harsher, wanting kiss.
