Everything is going to be okay

"Have you eaten here before?" Andrew asked, clearing his throat. He was trying to pivot from the conversation they were just having, going to a lighter topic. He felt that they needed it, especially since Maxwell had already thrown up, been sobbing, and looked awful. It made Andrew just want to fold the man into his lap, smother him in his arms, but at the same time, that didn't feel right. 

The man probably didn't want that, but at the same time, Andrew with his own issues, was afraid to ask if he did want it. 

So, soft questions for the moment, and Andrew hoped that Maxwell didn't mind that. His heart still felt a little bruised from his own words and actions, not that he didn't want to rekindle their relationship. 

Maxwell glanced at Andrew through his eyelashes, before he sighed softly. He seemed to attempt to pull himself together. Andrew didn't like it, but he knew that Maxwell probably needed some of his shield.
