Chapter 244: Remember what happened when you pushed my buttons before?
Andrew wasn’t afraid to admit that he took a bit longer than usual. Partially because he was busy sniffing Maxwell’s clothes like a degenerate, and the other reason being that he now had 5-6 more outfits that Thomas and Luis had bought for him. At this point, any of his remaining wardrobe was gone.
Some because he just simply couldn’t fit into it anymore, and the rest because Maxwell, and therefore, Thomas, hated it. He couldn’t say that for sure, but it felt like that was true.
He had a hard time deciding on an outfit, and ended up settling on a nice, burnt orange top with a pair of dark grey pants. He was just around people he would consider family, so he didn’t have to worry that they would judge him.
He washed his face, made sure he looked okay, and finally left the bedroom.
"You took such a long time I was thinking about sending a search party." Kim teased, and Andrew gave a weak smile before turning his gaze towards the kitchen. He didn’t need to be told that was where Maxwell was. He just knew.
Kim and Thomas watched him, their expressions dropping from the smiles to ones of intense observation.
"Andrew." Thomas started and he jerked, turning his body towards the couch.
"Yes?" He responded, trying to appear normal. He was normal. Thomas narrowed his gaze, but it was Kim who turned on the couch, gesturing with her hand for him to come over. Andrew did, slowly, and when he was up against the couch she continued to stare at him.
"You’re...going to go into rut soon, aren’t you?" She asked quietly, and Ford’s eyes widened while Thomas looked thoughtful still. Andrew swallowed.
Damn it. Everything was out in the open right now. He had a feeling that someone would notice, but he had hoped that it happened after everyone had been here for a while. Specifically, around him.
He’d barely walked in through the door and he was getting called out.
