I’mma go in a different direction here: Andrew cares more about the cats than Neil does. Like, Neil loves them and all but he’ll shove them over so he can sit on the couch, and Andrew won’t. Andrew will basically rearrange his life around them especially if they are sleeping.

I love this I love you I love Andrew and i love Neil and i love those stupid fucking cats okay here I go

-every night with Andrew is like an absurd game of tetris, or maybe even just a contortionist act
-Neil has no issue with shoving Sir or King out of his side of the bed
-but they are cats
-cats are crafty
-Neil’s side of the bed is taken? okey dokey, let’s BOTH sleep on Andrew’s side
-the first time they do this Andrew has a staring contest with them for a good five minutes
-eventually he shrugs and just contorts into a weird S shape, with Sir in the crook of his knees and King tucked into the curve of his torso
-Andrew’s back kills him
-worth it
-the cats sleep fitfully each night, and oftentimes Neil awakens to find Andrew with entire limbs held in the air just so he won’t disturb one of the cats
-Neil thinks Andrew is an idiot
-Andrew raises the percentage
-cups of coffee are moved for petting time on the counter
-movies are watched from the floor to accommodate a purring couch-cat
-Andrew goes days without wearing different clothes when the cats take turns sleeping on his laundry
-Neil is grossed out so Andrew just wears his clothes
-still worth it
-no item of clothing escapes the wrath of cat hair
-Andrew still doesn’t give a shit
-Neil is perpetually unamused
-the cats are happy
-Andrew is most likely part-cat anyway so Neil slowly accepts it
-by slowly I mean he stops raising a brow at Andrew’s unusual sleeping positions after a good 8 years
-Andrew takes what he can get
-which includes maybe a fifth of the entire bed
-sacrifices must be made to appease the beloved cats
-Andrew would die for them
-Neil loves them but still makes jokes about getting the cats armbands too
-Andrew actually considers it
-Neil hates everything
-what’s new
