"Matthias," Rien calls, striding up to the other man. "I'll inform you now that what's about to occur is at the behest of a Prescript I received, and that it's meant to last for precisely a minute. So, please, bear with me as I get this over with quickly."
And with that, he pulls Matthias' collar towards him, kissing the other man on the lips once theirs meet, Rien keeping his eyes shut the entire time so as to not witness how any of this looks, lest the visual memory of it remain on his mind.
The pager beeps as soon as the minute is up, and immediately he lets go, a hand raised over his own mouth in a poor attempt to cover it.

The kiss came abruptly, catching Matthias off guard even after Rien had warned him of it. Warm lips connect with his own an a gentle, yet incredibly awkward kiss. It's obvious both men hadn't done so in years considering their occupations within both The Middle and Index, but with the action essentially forced upon Rien...it felt especially forced. Matthias should simply accept it and ride out the minute in silence; yet something within him began bubbling to the surface. He'd only viewed Rien as a friend for these past few months; there shouldn't be anything strange about assisting him with one stupid little prescript.
And yet..
That sensation completely overtakes him, and he pushes Rien gently against the wall, arm moving to wrap around the small of his back and deepen the kiss. The other man's body grows stiff, yet Matthias continued to push, continued to press Rien's body closer to him as if he'd die without it. Strange. He'd only deemed Rien as a friend, but now Matthias is desperate for this; desperate to keep it going. The comic once within his hand falls carelessly to the floor, the elder man prioritizing the rush this gave him more than anything else. Tongue dances across the man's lower lip, and just as he presses in-
The pager beeps.
Rien lets go of his mouth and his shirt, leaving them both panting against each other before the other covers his own mouth. Matthias' chest rises and falls at a rapid rate; yellow pupils locked with Rien's lone one whilst attempting to collect himself.
"Le...Let's do that again..."
