ways andrew and neil show affection part 1 / part 2:

  • when neil is too tired after a game to shower properly, andrew hopping in the shower with him claiming he ‘wouldn’t be able to stand the smell’
    • andrew pretends he doesn’t care about anything but his fingers in neil’s hair, softly untangling say otherwise
  • andrew’s hands on his chest, neck, hips, covering neil’s fading scars with love bites and a few accidental bruises that make neil smile when he presses on them
  • sitting on the sofa, andrew with a book in hand and neil bothering him about the plot and the characters until andrew kisses him silent
  • silent confessions exchanged in the darkness of their bedroom, truths that don’t require anything back
  • laying in bed together, andrew making up constellations out of neil’s freckles
    • sometimes he names them, and neil ends up kissing him until he’s the one seeing stars
  • andrew’s hand brushing on neil’s back or lingering near his waist when he’s on edge, a silent promise of ‘i’m not letting you go’ 
  • andrew allowing himself to be vulnerable around neil, learning to accept proximity and human warmth again
  • andrew holding neil’s face in his hands when he’s self-conscious, thumbs brushing against his scars until he’s okay again
  • neil ripping to shreds anyone who dares calling andrew a monster or soulless
    • andrew intertwines their fingers or puts his hand on the back of neil’s neck and neil can’t help but wonder ‘is this what a monster would do? they don’t know you like i know you’
  • andrew ordering too much food for himself on purpose when they eat out to give the rest to neil because he knows he still feels bad about spending too much money
  • half-whispered ‘i love you’s against each other’s mouths, ones they don’t always say back, ones they can pretend they didn’t hear, but ones they always believe

Andreil + kissing

  • I feel like because it’s such a little, every day thing that neither of them got to have growing up, it means so much more now and so they’ll take their damn time with their kisses and put their all into it
  • because their kisses mean something and they know it
  • just whenever they have any inkling of privacy they’ll be making out (and then eventually even when they don’t have privacy)
  • like Neil will start staying in the car when they go to edens when Andrew goes to park it, just so that they can spend two minutes making out once they’re there
  • in the kitchen when they’re making coffee and Neil is sitting on the counter with Andrew holding up his legs around his hips
  • and the other monsters come in and make their breakfast around them
  • and Neil and Andrew act like they’re not even there
  • also the roof, right?
  • it doesn’t have a ledge –  it’s just a flat roof 
  • so if they’re sitting there legs dangling off and lips pressed together and hands in hair
  • people can obviously see them?? from the parking lot?? oh well, it’s kissing time
    • but seriously just imagine looking up at your dorm building and seeing these two tiny boys kissing with abandon on the ledge of a 4 story building – and then on top of that, it being a normal occurrence 
  • and then just imagine them on their road trips
  • sometimes they’re literally on the road
  • and Andrew is driving or Neil is driving
  • and it’ll be late at night and they can see the stars and they’re the only ones in sight
  • they’ll look over at each other and how the moonlight pools along their skin
  • and they just pull the car to the side as quickly as possible
  • if it’s warm they’ll get out and lay on the hood and kiss under the stars
  • if it’s cold they’ll huddle in the backseat and Neil will sit in Andrews lap and kiss until the windows start to frost over before driving off again
  • Neil likes kissing Andrew in the places they go together – whether it’s a beautiful view or the alley behind their hotel where they went to smoke
  • because even though he never has to or wants to run again 
  • something in him likes to know that no matter where he ends up he’ll have a memory of Andrews lips on his
  • and then there’s rainy days right
  • and it’s so great cause they lived together so they’re able to do all this in college and once they’re older (ignoring that sad middle part when Andrew had graduated/they were on different pro teams)
  • but they like rainy days
  • it’s quiet and peaceful and if they don’t have practice Neil won’t get up early to run
  • because there’s something about watching Andrew through the haze of a cloudy day, Neil thinks it makes him the brightest thing in the room, all gold hair and honey eyes
  • and later they’ll make cocoa for Andrew and tea for Neil – “its leaf water josten I can’t fucking believe Kevin convinced you to drink that”
  • they’ll sit and Andrew will read or watch tv and Neil will watch Andrew
  • and eventually Andrew will take pity on him and put down his book and they’ll kiss for the rest of the night
  • because as much as the sensation of falling makes Andrew’s heart stutter, the way that Neil grounds him firmly to this world and this time with their lips pressed together makes him feel just as much
