[ Any actual game would likely be lost on Matthew anyway. He just looks at Noah for a moment, his mouth still stretched in a wide, easy smile. He's still not overthinking this. Does he want to? Mm, in the moment, yeah, he really kinda does. Did Noah just give him an invitation? That's what it sounded like.
There's a little thrill in his stomach when he decides to just do it, to roll onto one shoulder and lean in and plant what would no doubt be the world's most innocent kiss on Noah's mouth--one down, nine to go. Except Matthew doesn't get that far. In fact, the exact moment his body even suggests the movement an energetic little bundle of soft fur and puppy limbs and puppy teeth attaches itself to his head. ]
Hey-- Max!
[ Matthew immediately bursts into laughter again and almost slides onto the floor in surprise; Max is chewing on his curls, which were apparently too great a temptation to resist, the way he was draped over the edge of the couch. ]
Max, come on, cut it out!
[ There's a happy little 'woof!' from the floor and everything is now 110% excitable puppy. ]
