Chapter 277: Finally, back to normal
It took another 4 days before Andrew was fully out of his rut, and allowed Michael to enter the home. On the third day he did allow Jenny and Luis to enter and check on them, just to test the waters and bring in the kit that Michael normally used to get a few tests done.
Andrew still felt like he behaved like a caveman, but it was a good sign that he was allowing anyone to enter the home, and when he woke up on the fourth day, he felt almost normal.
Maxwell was glad to hear it. Not because he didn’t like being at home with Andrew, he very much liked it, but because Andrew felt better about the fact that he wasn’t behaving strangely. Andrew wasn’t jumping at his own shadow, or glaring at where he could smell the alpha security guards were. Outside of the house.
So, both Maxwell and Andrew were very excited to go back to work on the fifth day. Andrew was all excited, wearing a new outfit that Luis had brought over for him that she and Thomas had picked out. Maxwell was looking nice in a suit, a few skin-tone bandages on his neck to cover up the still red bite marks on his shoulders.
Michael had checked them. They were healing properly, Maxwell just healed slowly when it came to cuts and bites. At least, that was what they told Andrew, and for his own peace of mind, he believed them. He was pretty sure that most people would have a hard time healing from the bites he’d left. His biggest worry was that he would leave scars. He confided in Michael about it after he had checked Maxwell.
Michael told him that as long as Maxwell didn’t pick at them, they should heal well. Worst case scenario, they would look like little marks, maybe even moles. Andrew kind of knew that Michael was lying to him to make him feel better, and he appreciated it.
He was sure that Michael had seen the after affects of other alphas during their ruts. He was sure that this wasn’t his first time comforting someone over the marks. He assumed that usually it was the omega. Maxwell, however, seemed to be glowing that he had marks from Andrew to show off.
Andrew was sure that if Maxwell couldn’t tell how awkward it made Andrew to see the marks that Maxwell would have been showing them off from the moment he got them. That was how much Maxwell liked them.
Maxwell had also continued to wear a collar since Andrew’s rut. Andrew had asked him about it, since he was surprised to see him wearing it as he had been pulling on his dress shirt for his suit in the closet.
