The full horror of what Andrew is saying feels like a crushing weight against Max's chest. He WILL imprint on someone. Anyone? The conviction with which the man says it leaves no room for doubt in Max's mind.
No. Oh god. There are other people here who wouldn't believe it. Or, if they did, they wouldn't understand. Or worse. Not everyone here has good intentions. Some might seen Andrew as a tool. They might use him in exactly the way he fears. It almost feels inevitable.
"Fuck..."
He lets go at that small amount of resistance. He needs to think.
He can't let that happen. He can't let someone use Andrew. He can't let the man be turned back into a slave. But the alternative... can Max do that? Can he knowingly, intentionally, make Andrew his?
"You won't be able to hide from the whole world here. You won't be able to avoid everyone..." his heart is beating in his throat.
