my favourite thing abt aftg is that neil is such?? an unreliable narrator?? why else do you think we all headcanon everyone to be poc and lgbt bc who knows, certainly not neil
Andrew: why bother with emotions when you can just be dead inside?
Kevin: I’m not obsessed with being perfect! It’s just that if I fail my life will be ruined and I might as well die.
Neil: (after suddenly passing out in the kitchen) why are you worried about me? Did my Mac and Cheese burn?
Nicky: Yeah sometimes life sucks and it’s hard to stay happy but whenever I’m feeling bad I just remind myself that things could be a lot worse – at least I’m not straight!
Aaron: Who left a dildo on my desk and in which way would you like to die?
Allison: Um excuse me who are you calling nice? I’m a bad bitch
Renee: I’m trying out this church thing so don’t call me unless someone is dying
Dan: I mean it’s weird because I’m a responsible adult with real duties and everything but I also spent last Saturday with my boyfriend going through costco in different disguises so we could get more free samples so I guess what I’m saying is adulthood is weird
Matt: (very drunk) do you think dogs know how much we love them? They gotta, right? Oh my god, do they know? I’ve got to find a dog right now.
Seth: Sometimes I think you guys forget I exist

Summary:
Neil smiles more than he used to.
Andrew has not really thought about this, even though he’s noticed it for quite some time now. He smiles a lot more, especially around Andrew, soft-edged and tantalizing. He grins and laughs without smothering the impulse anymore, without feeling self-conscious and afraid of resembling his father, without worrying how happiness seems out of place among the ravaged skin and frayed ends.
Andrew is only thinking about this now because he hasn’t seen Neil smile in three days.
(or: in which there is a wedding, a quiet morning, a hospital trip, and a lot of kisses and blatant staring, not necessarily in that order)
