After finishing up payment, Andrew headed for the bathrooms. The cashier was kind enough to point them out, and Andrew was quite pleased.
With himself.
He had gone into a large store, basically without Maxwell's help, and he was doing well. Quite well. Sure, he missed Maxwell's scent, but he had a feeling that even as he got better he would still miss it.
Er, maybe he shouldn't say get better. Until he…adjusted. That felt a bit more…accepting. He felt like he wouldn't get yelled at by Michael if he phrased it that way.
Happily, he made his way towards the bathrooms. Like most public bathrooms, the bathrooms were separated by gender. Secondary gender. It would do no one any good if an alpha went into rut around an omega or vice versa, so since they had manifested, this was how bathrooms were set up. There was even a panic room in both bathrooms in case someone felt they were in danger.
As a beta, Andrew could have gone into either bathroom. Now?
