he’s like slipping.
he’s like that 3:41AM slipping, sliding feeling
that comes from being too tired to sleep,
too scared of facing the monsters in your dreams.
he’s the last drag of a cigarette, the haze of the smoke.
he’s the slipping, sliding, falling feeling.
the need to be unconscious,
the fear of revisiting a nightmare.

he’s like, you know, that pit in your chest.
he’s like that 3:42AM cavity, the gap, the lack—
that’s what it is, it’s a lack, it’s an absence.
a missing part of your chest where your breath should be.
he’s all the trying failures, the heaving desperation
to have somethinganythingeverything to fill the space,
the whiskey, the nicotine, the poison.

he’s something like restlessness.
he’s like that 3:43AM tossing and turning,
the half-unconscious fighting for and against sleep.
like the itch of the covers and how many times can you flip this pillow,
how many positions are there for your arms before they start to tingle,
is it easier on your side or on your back,
don’tcloseyoureyesthat’swherethemonstersare.
he’s the itch you can’t scratch.

he’s along the lines of middle-of-the-night phone calls.
he’s like that 3:44AM buzz of your phone on the floor by your bed,
the scroll of his name across the screen.
he’s the whispered plea for a distraction,
the ican’tsleep, the iknowyoucan’teither.
he’s like the tilt in his own voice that results from
fear desperation restlessness. the need for sleep he won’t fulfill.
he’s the it’sokay you’ve never been used to hearing.

he’s like home.
he’s like that 3:45AM sinking into the mattress,
the hushing in your head that comes from feeling
right. he’s like the roof at midnight,
stars in the sky, cigarette between your fingers,
him at your side as an anchor.
he’s something safe, something warm, something—
home. he’s home.

he’s something like amazing // es

andrew minyard is allergic to cats but he won’t let himself sneeze around neil because then neil would know that andrew isn’t just putting up with the cats he likes them. enough to deal with watering eyes and an itchy nose every day

#and the worst part is that hes not even going to get allergy meds bc like pills? nah#he’s had enough of those fuck that#also imagine when its a really bad allergy day and he keeps sneezing and Neil is literally#just sitting there like soooo r u gonna tell me this thing we both know is happening right now ???#or are you going to be a stubborn idiot about it#the answer is the latter obviously#and neil is so smug#the next day there is an air purifier in every room#and an anti cat allergy spray Neil had to drive miles for on Andrews night stand#they never speak of it again but at least Andrews sinuses are a little clearer#fandom: aftg @thatpretentiousdesignstudent yes 

Andreil at a theme park headcanons

defractum:

This is a very belated pinch-hit for @captain-ferid​ for @aftgexchange​. I’m so sorry it’s so late, and I hope you like!

  • The Foxes are brainstorming where to go on vacation
    post-canon – or rather, Nicky ropes Neil inot a discussion he’s having with the
    girls, Matt and Aaron as he’s on his way back to the room he shares with Kevin
    and Andrew
  • Allison tries to book something insanely expensive for them
    all again, but Dan puts her foot down on that – taking Neil away for his first
    proper vacation had been an exception, which means that they need to find something
    that they can all afford
  • It’s Matt who suggests a theme park, one he’s been to with
    his mom before.
  • Aaron scoffs at the idea – it’s totally lame, right? But it
    turns out he’s never actually been to one before (not exactly one of Tilda’s priorities)
  • (Neither has Neil, or Andrew, or Kevin, they all realise)
  • Nicky enthusiastically pumps up the idea before the mood can
    plummet too far as everyone contemplates their terrible childhoods, and points
    out that they can totally make a few days out of it, with the theme park and
    waterpark combined
  • Neil shrugs – he doesn’t really know anything about them,
    but it sounds like fun? He’ll ask Andrew
  • Matt and Allison immediately make a bet on whether it will
    be Andrew or Kevin who nixes the idea (Nicky points out that Neil’s going to
    ask him, so of course Andrew will agree)
  • In their room, Kevin’s watching Exy (on his laptop with his
    headphones in, because Andrew had complained about being subjected to enough of
    the stupid sport already on the big TV) and Andrew is smoking and reading on
    the windowsill
  • Neil goes to Andrew first, who seems largely apathetic but
    agrees pretty quickly
    • Occasional
      adrenaline rushes? Shitloads of junk food? Very little actual effort to do
      anything required? Sounds like a good vacation to him
  • Kevin does live up to expectations, and mutters about how it’s
    a total waste of time and money to spend all day queueing up for things but
    Neil reminds him that this is a few days away in Carolina, and insinuates that
    the two weeks away in Europe Allison wanted to do is their second choice at the
    moment
  • So they rock up – Allison buys them fast passes to
    everything even though Dan protests, saying that it’s her choice so that she
    doesn’t have to wait in line with them for hours and hours
  • Andrew immediately gets one of those free refill popcorn
    buckets and locks eyes with Kevin as he inhales half of it, using his hand as a
    shovel
  • It’s pretty hot weather, so Neil ties one of his Exy bandanas
    around his hair
    • Normally the bandana is accompanied
      by disgusting hair dripping with sweat but now it just makes Neil’s hair ruffle
      attractively in the breeze
    • Also he
      rolls the sleeves of his t-shirt up to reveal his shoulders and biceps
    • Andrew is
      Suffering™
    • He deals
      with it by keeping a blank face and as we all know, our boy Andrew has resting
      bitch face to the point where Neil leans in and asks if he doesn’t want to go
      on the rollercoaster after all
