(BL)Alpha Made

Andrew knew that this was going to be a lavish event. He’d had no doubt about that from the moment that the Beckett family had spoken about it. He had every right to be as nervous as he was. That was proven when as soon as Maxwell, Andrew and Richard walked in, a hush fell over the room.

Andrew couldn’t tell if that was because it was Maxwell walking in in general, if it was because he was holding Andrew’s hand, or if it was a combination of them wearing a matching outfit, holding hands, and walking in with another man trailing them.

Andrew wasn’t sure, and he was a bit scared to find out what the truth was.

Either way, Andrew found that his attention was divided anyways. The room was gorgeous, there was a live band playing Christmas music, several stations where fresh food was being made, and they had two bars. Andrew knew that they had to be paying for everything. The Beckett’s would never be caught dead doing a cash bar or something like that.

The decorations carried into the main room, with several themed trees decorated all around the hall. Chairs and tables were set up for seated mingling, along with soft couches and clearly marked out locations for bathrooms. Or at the very least, directions to where they were.

Andrew was impressed. He knew that he really shouldn’t be after how meticulously Amir and Ben’s wedding had been, but he couldn’t stop himself. It was pride that filled his chest, pride that this was Maxwell’s family, and that they weren’t rich jerks, just rich.

Or, at the very least, not a jerk to him and his family. Only those who deserved it.

"Andy!" It was a joyous call from someone he considered his family, and Andrew felt his lips turn up as Kim and Jenny approached. Both women were dressed in stunning outfits. Jenny in this beautiful light blue piece that reminded him of snow and ice, while Kim was wearing green to match her eyes and compliment her slowly greying red hair.

Kim didn’t hesitate, pulling Andrew in for a hug the moment she saw him, while Jenny did the same to Maxwell. Richard stood by awkwardly, but Kim didn’t let him do that for long. After she had hugged Andrew, slapping him on the shoulder for good measure, she turned to Richard, her eyes still smiling. "Can you do hugs with someone like me?" She asked and Richard swallowed.

"Well, you’re no different than Andy, so...probably." Richard admitted and Kim grinned, pulling the reluctant man in for a hug. Jenny chuckled, reaching for Andrew after she’d finished hugging Maxwell and gave him a tight squeeze.

"You look very handsome today, Andy. Why the contacts?" She asked, a teasing, warm smile on her lips. Andrew shrugged.

"Wanted to make a good impression." Andrew told her and she sniffed.
