There were more than a few times during Michael's story where Alex would smile or start chuckling. Not because of the content of the story, although that was both interesting and revealing, but because of the zeal with which he was telling it. He was like one of those kids who read children's books about mythology and then went around gleefully reciting the tales.
"Well, you and Max have been friends since you got to town, right? I guess it's only natural that you might see him as some kind of brother."
Of course, he'd been friends with Liz since...okay, maybe that wasn't exactly a fair comparison. He did kind of see her as a sister. At least when she wasn't being an idiot and dating Kyle Valenti.
"And as for Andromeda and Perseus..."
His smile grew and he looked away. "Well, let's just say in addition to being a closet geek, it sounds like you're a closet romantic."
He closed his eyes. That was the most he'd heard Michael speak at any one time and he was revelling in it.
