andrew took neil on a roadtrip over break, they stopped at every tourist attraction they could find along the way (neil had always been curious and andrew didn’t understand the fuss). before they left, neil googled ‘best ice cream in california’ and andrew pretended that the gesture didn’t make his chest warm. 

the goal had been to go to the beach before returning home, but neil didn’t feel ready once they got there and that’s okay, they’ll try again, they have the time.
