A large part of Max's power had to deal with empathy, and the ability to share emotions with other people. It wasn't something he ever did with anyone beyond Liz, and the one man who broke him, but it was an intense connection that could be created between himself and another person. He could have one night stands, and he'd even fucked up a friends with benefits relationship by letting the other person fall for him. That was the last thing he wanted to do. He was far more aware of what he did with people now, and what their understandings of things were because of it.
Watching Cole, Max let him pull away from his hand as he thought. He nodded and agreed that he figured a date would be nice after this. He thought it'd be a really nice thing to do, since he hadn't really gotten out much at all since moving to New York. He felt a lot better about all this with that settled. "That sounds perfect. I'm not sure exactly what you want me to show you, but how about we go slow and see where it leads us. I think I've got a few ideas."
Max had pretty much fallen in love with the guy he'd first been with, and had done it immediately. It had rocked his complete world, and thrown him for a total loop. This was going to go at a much slower pace. Max figured it was only fair that he pull his own shirt off to start with. He had recently taken the time to get back in shape too. He was older than Cole, but didn't mind it. A while ago, he'd let his body become a little softer in the middle, the result of hardwork, but nothing in the gym. He'd been to the gym lately and worked his abs back to the state they were in when he'd been younger. It was nice to show them off again.
Taking his time he moved across the couch and cupped Cole's cheek again, but this time he didn't pause. He leaned in and took the other man's mouth with his own. The best place to start anything was right here. It was a test of chemistry, and a good way to feel out attraction as well. Max had the tendency to nip as he kissed, tugging at a bottom lip here and there before his tongue struck through to twist, tangle and taste.
