TBD please 🥺🥺🥺
They continue this until Andrew has Neil pressed up against the wall. Andrew wants every last centimeter of Neil. Wants him with every single fiber of his being. Wants to bite his neck and drink his marrow. Wants to rip his chest open and crawl into his rib cage just so that they’d never spend another moment apart ever again-
He wants Neil to fu-
“Andrew Joseph Minyard!” Aaron’s voice fills his home.
He wants Neil to fucking help him kill his brother.
TBD please ! !

Andrew crosses the remaining distance between them and raises his hand up to Neil’s face, but does not touch him. “So I want you to tell me right now that you don’t want to be with me, that you don’t want to stay, that you want to keep running and you want to be nothing more than a remnant. If you can do that then I will never bring this up again. We can be friends just like we were before.” Andrew promises and his head is pounding along with his heart.
He doesn’t say that it will kill him to hear Neil say ‘no’ because a coerced acceptance isn’t what he wants. He wants Neil’s absolute and enthusiastic ‘yes’ because that is what they’ve always wanted from one another.
But if Neil says ‘no’ then Andrew will have to return the favor of thanking him. For giving Andrew’s life meaning, for the kisses, the sex, the road trips, the souvenirs, for giving him his relationship with his brother, and for never once being like the monsters that haunted Andrew’s past.
He'll thank Neil for everything and for being amazing.
New Kings!
“You forgive me for it anyways.” Neil says and Andrew hates that he’s right. He’d already forgiven the worst thing that Neil had ever done to him the moment that he saw Neil climbing out of that window in Arizona. Andrew takes his ruined towels and they make their way out of the stadium. They’re walking along, each with a bundle of towels that will likely need to either be bleached to death or replaced when Andrew feels a headache start to hit him.
He shoves his towels into Neil’s arms without comment before going to his bag to find his medication again. He’s not looking forward to being fully medicated again but-
“What are you doing?” Neil asks, eyes on the pill bottle in Andrew’s hand.
TBD plese please please 🙏
“You’re giving me a ride home in your rental.” Neil grumbles and Andrew rolls his eyes but jerks his head grabbing one of Neil’s bags before the Striker can try and carry both. “Stop it, you’re hurt worse than me.” Neil reaches but Andrew moves the bag from his reach.
“Shut up. I wouldn’t have needed to come here at all today if you weren’t so predictable. Smith really let you come like this.” He says because Neil in better shape has far superior reflexes than Andrew does.
“I stowed away in the trunk after I paid Dion to distract him.” Neil says, “I waited until he was in the stadium before I got out of the trunk.”
It’s such a Neil move that Andrew can’t help but sigh. What a Junkie.

“I told her I need to see how she plays and she blew me off!” Kevin interrupts before Janie can ask about everyone else’s birthdays. She was kind of interested to see if Wymack had them memorized.
“Kevin, you’re not the assistant coach anymore. You’re a fellow teammate and therefore do not have authority.” Wymack looks at Kevin with a tired expression.
“But-!”
“I will do this practice if you promise to never ever attempt to wake me up on days that we don’t have official morning practice.” Janie looks at Kevin.

“Making my dessert bar.” Neil answers pointing at the huge bag of puffed rice cereal on his station.
“Oh, you’re making some puffed rice cereal treats. I love those, what are you going to add?” he asks.
Neil furrows his eyebrows at Noel as if thinking that the man is a bit slow, “I’m going to add the Rice Kris-”

Pinning arson on someone is not done in a day, but this is the fourth day that Neil’s been in Oakland and he had done some leg work. It’d been a pain in the ass planting the seeds he had but he finally understood why Andrew had taken up gardening as he watched his efforts sprawl into ivy that would choke the life out of Drake.
The fire is obviously arson because Neil had made it obvious that it was arson and more importantly he made it obvious that Drake was intended to survive the arson. He hangs out in the park in the Spears neighborhood and he hears the whisper campaign going strong. People are talking about how ghastly it is, how good of parents the Spears were and Neil grits his teeth through hearing it.
The truth can come later, but for right now? At this moment? He needs the Spears to be the perfect victims.
I‘m baaack and here for my little math nerd <3
“I’m ready to put them on once I’m done showering.” Neil returns.
Andrew shrugs, “I was drying Neil’s hair.” he rises to his feet.
The three head out together, Kevin in all his tiny towel glory that has Nicky whistle and Aaron groan in dismay stating that he was going to wait out in the hallway, dragging Nicky out behind him. Neil sits taunting Kevin the entire time about all the various ways he doesn’t conform to Kevin’s belief about how to spend time in a locker room.
Eventually the three of them head out of the locker room and Neil turns to Andrew, “Where are we going for dinner?” he asks as if he hasn’t been avoiding Andrew for a week and a half.
