Andrew's Mind Palace

hey why so serious?

AU where everything is the same except Andrew has been flirting with Neil from the very beginning but Neil kept misinterpreting it for threats, whereas Andrew kept thinking that Neil was flirting back and not realizing that he’s one wrong move away from getting stabbed in his sleep. this miscommunication isn’t realized until after they hook up for the first time

Neil: does this mean you don’t want to kill me anymore?

Andrew: what do you mean?

Neil: you’ve been threatening to take me out for months

Andrew: I was talking about dinner??? what the fuck???

Neil: wait, no… you also said that you were going to blow my brains out!

Andrew: Neil. Rabbit. Junkie. I did just blow your brains out. I was down there not five minutes ago, remember?

Neil: I don’t believe this. what about that time I took the cigarette out of your mouth to take a drag and you said that if we weren’t in such a public area you’d make me scream?

Andrew: Neil you are so stupid

Neil: fuck. what about that time you said that if I kept running my mouth you’d  find a way to keep me nice and quiet?

Andrew: Neil, you are so stupid

Neil: ohhhh shit. yeah, no, I hear it now. wait, does this mean you’ve liked me all this time?

Andrew: does this mean you were willing to sleep with me even despite thinking I wanted to murder you???

Neil: hey. we all have our issues

Andrew: WHY DID YOU KEEP GOING TO SECLUDED LOCATIONS WITH ME?! you have the worst fucking survival instincts, I swear to fucking god you’re going to give me a stroke one of these days. damn is this how Wymack feels all the time? I should send him a gift card to the cheesecake factory or something

Hc that once the Foxes really realize that Neil and Andrew are actually in a serious relationship and not just a fling, they're all weary of it and don't bother hiding the fact.

One day, they all happen to be in the lounge without Neil and Andrew, and the Upperclassmen are talking about the fact that they're kind of worried about Andrew and Neil being in a relationship, and Aaron agrees, and someone says something like: "I'm surprised you're worried, I thought you hated Neil. Although, I suppose you'd know Andrew's violence better than any of us since you've spent more time with him." And Aaron just scoffs and says, "I'm not worried about Neil at all. Anyone with half a brain cell can tell that Andrew would never hurt him. No, I'm more concerned about what Neil could do to Andrew." And the Upperclassmen just. Stare at him. Minds blown.

From that point on, they're forced to reevaluate everything they thought they knew, and they pay more attention to every interaction they see between Andrew and Neil, and they're forced to realize that- Aaron's right. Andrew wouldn't hurt Neil, and they're a bit ashamed of the fact that it took them so long to realize.

Raven!Neil Au where Andrew and Neil meet for the first time at a banquet.

They sit across from each other and Neil smart-mouth Josten can’t help but go off at Kevin, still angry about being abandoned by him.

To his surprise it’s Andrew who answers him. It’s a bit of a match. Cutting remark after cutting remark, but…. it’s unexpectedly fun.

Both Ravens and Foxes watched in shock as Neil and Andrew somehow moved from insults to genuine conversation.

They lean closer to each other, no longer raising voices. Neil practically showed everything on the table to the side so he can lean almost half of his body across the table just so he and Andrew can talk freely.

Everybody moves subtly closer just to overhear even a snippet of what they are talking…

… they plan an apocalypse plan. Arguing about cons and pros of bunkering in the supermarket.

And they look like they’re having fun… or as much as they would let themselves show any kind of enjoyment in the environment they are in.

They lean close, talking in hushed voices… looking almost like they are flirting.

Or rather they are flirting, thinks NIcky, watching as his usually emotionless cousin lean closer to the redhead rolling his eyes with a shadow of a sarcastic smile on his lips, and he promptly shoves his entire fist into his mouth to muffle a squeal.

I just love to think that it infuriated Riko, that he isn’t the center of attention in the 100%. Riko trying to stop their conversion, to butt it, interrupt, only to be ushered by Neil or Andrew everytime.

Neil remembering how in Ferdinand’s show Andrew played with Riko by pretending to not remember his name and doing the same thing, looking straight into Andrew eyes, ignoring his captain having a furious meltdown at his side.

Andrew watches it all with his eyes burning into Neil.

(All of the foxes and Ravens stimulatingly wondering how the heck the most meddling one from their team suddenly found the most meddling one from the opposing team. What kind of cosmic justice is this?)

In the end Neil just takes a napkin and doodles something quickly on, His eyes smile with a fire that could only promise a disaster (Andrew knows better not to let himself get burned, and yet…) and before Riko has enough and pulls all the Ravens away, he slides it towards Andrew. 

All the foxes are gapping.

Did… Did that Raven just propositioned Andrew? Like in the middle of a banquet??? did he just casually give him his number??? What is going on???

Andrew refuses to feed their curiosity in any way.

But when they are safe in the bus, Kevin drunk into oblivion, rest of the foxes bored with his silence…

He lets himself unwind the napkin.

There is a letter inside. Neatly folded multiple times so it doesn’t even look like it was hidden inside the napkin until Andrew could feel it in his hands.

Letter describing how Kevin is the son of Wymack.

And a little note on the napkin….

“Have fun with it.”

And Andrew can’t help but feel his interest stir inside him.

I had to do this meme with Andreil...it's a good summary of their relationship in book 3 😂

"women can be just bad as men"

nice argument mate, but women still dont rape newborn babies to death 👍

FEMinism is for FEMales

I find it heart-clenching that Neil 'I've been lying about my parents since my mom died' Josten actually has a caring family on his mother's side?! Yes, I'm talking about his uncle Stuart Hatford. Of course, that family is equally fucked up as his father's but at least they would Protect Neil instead of cutting him in two halves. not to mention at the last match of TKM when every fox was meeting up with their families, Neil (admit it) being a little sad that there wasn't anyone for him to look up to, Stuart comes into the picture. Tell me Neil wasn't a bit happy then! Tell me he was trying to act so cool as to not care. well, he knew there was a fifty-fifty chance of staying alive after the match BUT he trusted his uncle enough to assassinate Proust and keep Andrew safe. Neil is actually aware of the little mafia/family power he holds! Neil Has a real Blood-line Family out there. maybe he won't be part of it but little did he know, they'll always want to protect and keep him safe.

I have a headcanon that after several years of living together, Neil is looking for Andrew's hugs when he has nightmares, and Andrew doesn't mind at all when he has a good day (and he has a lot more good days than bad ones now) 🧡
