Rumours do not make the man

"Everyone, please meet Max's partner, Dr. Andrew Knox." Maxwell's Mother introduced him, and Andrew detected a slight warmth to her tone. He hoped he wasn't being delusional. Andrew gave a small bow. 

"I hope you will go easy on me. I've only recently manifested, so I'm still new to everything." Andrew gave a lopsided grin, while the two brother's furrowed their brows. 

"How is that possible? He looks like an alpha." Andrew laughed awkwardly at one of Maxwell's brother's words. 

"Ah, I've always been this tall. I look quite a bit like my Father, as my Mother used to say.' Andrew joked, and Maxwell's hand tightened around his. Andrew was used to this, it didn't hurt him to say it. Maxwell was being silly for being worried about it. After all, Maxwell had said the same thing the first time they'd met.
