Chapter 58: You and I are not the same
Andrew stared down at Maxwell, unsure what he should do next. He realised he probably shouldn’t have kissed him in front of his family, which is why he had held himself back for so long. Maxwell had just been too sweet for him to resist.
"A-Andrew, not in front of everyone." Maxwell whispered tensely, his cheeks turning a brighter shade and Andrew exhaled slowly.
"I’m sorry Maxwell. I didn’t mean to embarrass you." Andrew apologised easily, withdrawing his hand from Maxwell’s face. Maxwell made a face, and Andrew paused. He wasn’t sure what to do here. He knew that face. It was the face he made when Maxwell didn’t like what he’d done.
Did that mean he wanted him to keep his hand on his face? Or was he upset that Andrew kissed him?
Panic filing him, Andrew was frozen in place. Until laughter filled the air, and everyone turned to look at the smaller man who had broken the silence. It was the darker skinned man who was wearing glasses. His shoulders were shaking as he laughed, glancing at the two of them with a smile on his face.
"It’s nice to know that Maxwell can make faces like that. Thank you, Dr. Knox, for showing us a side of Maxwell we haven’t seen before." Andrew blinked, surprised by the pretty omegas response, before he softened and smiled at them.
"I am more than happy to do so, but only with Maxwell’s permission. I fear I might have overstepped this time." Andrew said, and the table laughed while Maxwell stared up at Andrew. Turning his head to the side, Maxwell sighed, before his fingers tightened on Andrew’s thigh. Andrew turned his attention back to Maxwell, finding the man adorable as he ducked his head.
"It’s not that at all, Andrew. I just...don’t like pda." Maxwell whispered, and Andrew’s eyes went wide before they softened.
"I knew that, which was why I knew I had overstepped. You were just so sweet I had a hard time stopping myself." Andrew told him warmly, and when Maxwell looked up at him, his blue eyes were soft.
