Chapter 107: A round of questioning
"How did your chat go?" Andrew asked as he approached Maxwell, and without being able to stop himself, he leaned in and pressed a kiss against Maxwell’s forehead. Maxwell’s cheeks were pink, but he clutched onto Andrew’s shirt in his hand like a lifeline.
"Well...it was a little bit awkward, but Dr. Smith is very professional." Maxwell stated, and Michael chuckled.
"He’s a better patient than you, Andy." Andrew gasped, pretending to be offended, but he was actually quite proud of Maxwell. He was happy that he was talking to Michael about his own concerns, and when Michael turned his gaze to Andrew, all happy feelings faded quickly. "Now, onto my most important research sub-I mean, patient next." He chuckled as Andrew gulped.
Maxwell tugged on Andrew’s hand, motioning for him to join him on the couch, and Andrew wasn’t one to resist him. Sighing heavily, he sat, and turned so that he was facing Michael, but had his back turned to Maxwell. He was surprised when Maxwell wrapped his arms around his back, and his soft, warm hands rested on his abs.
Andrew’s whole face went red, and he felt his whole body tense.
"M-Max?" Andrew cursed internally at how high his voice sounded. Maxwell chuckled behind him.
"Are you going to tell me to stop?" He asked with a sickly sweetness. Andrew knew it was a trap. There was nothing that could have spelled a trap more to him, but he could not turn Maxwell away.
"N-No. I’m just curious what made you decide to act this way. Y-You hate pda." Andrew was negotiating against a master negotiator, and he knew he was cooked when Maxwell giggled. The man never giggled, unless it was to cause Andrew some kind of pleasure/pain.
"But this is my house? There can’t be any pda in your own home, silly. Plus, Dr. Smith told me that this is the best way to calm you down right now. Or, are you upset because you can’t see me?" He gasped, scandalised. Andrew felt his body shift behind him, and waited in anticipation as he felt Maxwell’s breath fan his ear. "We can’t have mirrors everywhere in this house, Baby. What would polite company think of us?" Andrew groaned, and knew he was never going to live this down. Kim was watching him with wide, surprised eyes, and Michael looked like he was having the best day of his life.
"Max, if you wanted to embarrass me, there were other ways." Andrew muttered, and Maxwell laughed, patting his abs. Andrew winced with each tap.
"None that are as fun as this. Look at my big baby, all nervous. It’s adorable." He told Andrew, and Andrew knew he had to have a giant grin on his face. Unable to resist, he turned, just so that he could see it.
