Okay. That was way more than Andrew could have ever expected. Clearly, James had put a lot of thought into that answer before ever tracking Andrew down in the first place. Even though the words surprised surprised him, he couldn't help the fact that it made him smile, even if it was much more bashful of a smile than any of the people in Lawrence would have seen come from him before. After all, Andrew usually came off as pretty confident, and it didn't matter if it was when he was rattling on about one of the many nerdy things he was into or if he was organizing a plan to stop some new big bad.
But this was different. Without even trying, James had found that one thing that made Andrew's confidence seep away, then said things that made it come back, even if it was just a little of it. But every little bit helped.
"You, uh, put a lot of thought into that, didn't you?" Andrew asked, going back to the first thought that hit him while James was going through that entire spiel. Because really, there was no other word to describe what James just said. An incredibly sweet spiel, but a spiel none the less. And Andrew kinda wished he had a tape recorder of some sort for it. But he wasn't about to say that. "Because that's way too much for you to have just thought of off the top of your head just now."
