thinking of andreil divine intervention au....
ok so basically neil obviously loves math and finance and all that jazz. his mother sold the devil 25% of his soul in order for protection from his father and the only way to get his soul is to "fall in love" (PLEASE STAY WITH ME HERE) but obviously hes demisexual asf so he cant do that. so he's just walking around protected by satan
andrew's guardian angel pities him/has fell in love with him (haven't decided yet) and basically blessed him with strength and stuff.
The two of them have zero idea about eachother's situations. Andrew has no way to know, and Neil won't exactly go up to somebody and say "hey, i have a deal with the devil!!"
obviously due to the divine stuff, andrew has a certain effect on people. His energy motivates people - holds them up and keeps them in place when they're about to crumble. No matter how assholey he is to you, there is no way for you to feel bad around him in case he is REALLY trying.
Neil has a sort of antihalo effect - due to Satan's aura on him, he awakens violence and negativity in people, but it's not normally violence against him unless he directly provokes you... ifygwim. For example, Neil is hanging with Kevin - if Aaron pisses off Kevin, Kevin is ready to punch Aaron, something he wouldn't normally do, whether from fear of Andrew's consequences or thinking that he's better than violence. Even Renee has had to take a few breathers cause of this.
When the two finally... andreil, it's hard to explain. Andrew feels something alluring to him - he knows he shouldn't like it but he just dives deeper and deeper into Neil. On Neil's side, it's like the divine light Andrew projects is eating him alive. It burns when Andrew has his hands on him, but it burns good. Neil is bound to hell, so he loves the feeling of flames.
i might draw this,,, i fear. or write a fanfic... either one
thinking of a scenario (pre kings men, or whenever neil realised he liked andrew) where neil needs to ...pray? to the devil inorder to get something he wants. theres this whole idea that satan takes the form of whatever you find the most beautiful for temptation reasons or whatever. (matt would get the devil in the form of dan, nicky would get the devil in the form of erik or channing tatum or wtv)
anyway neil draws out a pentagon with the best chalk he has on the rooftop, lights candles, the sky turns blood red and shit... the ground opens to form an entrance for the devil. and who should come out of the depths of hell?
andrew fucking minyard.
another note to make:
neil also has this kind of allure power where due to the devil's... bless....ing... he normally gets his way - this does NOT work on andrew due to andrew's divine protection but he thinks it does because andrew does whatever he asks. so when andrew says no to something it peaks his interest because what??? i normally get whatever i want??? this boy is so odd... so strange... so sociopathic... i need more time with him...
i made them lesbians... im so sorry yall i cant change...
