    “If we do it in the corner behind the sofa we’ll be able to see anyone coming in before they see us. Plus my laptop’s up there. Plausible deniability.”

    Summary

    They wake up in darkness after midnight. The distance between them has flaked away as they slept, Matt’s fingertips resting on Max’s arm, their feet slotted together under the covers.

    “You could come,” Max tells him, quietly. He’s got an elbow bent beneath his head, ear pressed to the blood-thump of his heartbeat there. “Come see me in Melbourne. Stay with me for a while.”

    Or: Matt and Max spend the weekend together. Max tries to reconcile his feelings with his plans.

    Summary

    Max is gone, and Matthias can move on with his normal life. His regular job, regular couple life and regular relationship with his best friend.

    Summary

    You love that creative titling, I know it.

    Four short Matt and Max vignettes; one pre- and three post-film.

    First vignette set when the boys are in high school, hence the "underage" warning. All mutual sexual contact features them being of age, however.
