Nicky at some point, possibly joking, possibly not,
mentioning how damn disappointing it
is that Neil and Andrew don’t have pet names for each other. Like, don’t they
know that’s the ultimate height of affection?
And like Andrew thinks this over for two seconds and turns
to Neil and says, completely deadpan, “what do you think, sweetheart?”
Neil doesn’t miss a beat when he says, “sounds like a great
idea, darling.”
And so this starts positively the most terrifying thing the
Foxes have ever seen. Neil and Andrew’s pet name war. Andrew pulls out Honey Bunny while they’re out for dinner
one night and nearly causes Nicky to choke to death on his spaghetti, but Neil
gets to drop Snookum in the middle of
a team meeting and causes Wymack to go speechless.
It’s awful. Nicky has never heard somebody sound so close to
committing murder while calling their boyfriend High King of my heart (Neil maintains he should get extra points
for creativity on that one) and he is very,
very, very sorry he ever brought it up but now it’s too late because Neil
and Andrew think it’s hilarious and they will
not stop.
uhhh i can’t stop thinking about how andreil is revealed to the press and then this happened
it’s neil’s first season after college
andrew and neil are on rival teams
before their first ever game playing against each other a reporter asks neil “do you think you’ll be able to score on your former teammate, andrew minyard?”
and imagine matt’s on neil’s team and they’re doing press together right
and matt’s trying & failing to keep a straight face
neil just snorts
look he’s oblivious
but he’s not that oblivious he gets the subtext
and all the foxes are like right there because it’s after neil’s first pro game and they all came to watch / have vip access or something so they’re there for the post-game interview ok
and nicky starts cracking up
kevin chokes on his drink and then .2 seconds later starts chugging it because he knows neil can’t pass up an opportunity to screw with the press
because neil’s an instigator™
and kevin’s worried about how coming out will affect neil’s exy career
but neil doesn’t care
neil just looks to andrew and raises an eyebrow like yes or no?
and andrew just stares a him like a challenge
and a yes
so neil smirks at the camera and says “i can score on minyard”
and then “and the goal, too”
allison whistles in audience
matt gives up on trying to keep a straight face & is grinning at dan like wow he’s so proud of his son
nicky’s still laughing
kevin’s still drinking
wymack’s just shaking his head like thank god this idiot is someone else’s pr problem now
concept: andrew lounging about the apartment like a cat
Nora’s said that he hates the cold…. so imagine him curling up in a small patch of sunlight on the floor and taking a little nap
The cats eventually curl up near him, not touching him, but in the same spot of sunlight coming through the windows
Also imagine him plopping his head into Neil’s lap and wiggles around pointedly until Neil starts massaging his scalp and when he starts scratching it, he just. Melts into a puddle of bliss
Neil always wakes up at fuck o’clock in the morning to go on a run; this usually wakes Andrew, but some mornings he’ll sleep in a bit longer. Those are the mornings that Neil will make breakfast instead of Andrew. When he finally gets out of bed, groggy and tired, he slumps over to where Neil is at the stove and lays his head on his shoulder and watches him cook
Originally I was writing drabbles to the Atlas album by Sleeping at Last and making these inktobers as companions to the stories (and I still am). But, it’s taking too much of my brain power away from the Figure Skating AU, so they’ve been put on the back burner for the time being. Nonetheless, Here are my Andreil Inktobers so far 🙂 I still have a dozen or so of these to go.
*Done with crappy Pentel RSVP pens. Then popped into photoshop to mess with color and add in the metallic/planetary flourishes. Am I allowed to do that? Oh well. Also, I havent done anything traditional in over a year and a half. What is fine art? How does one do it? Idk, but these are done within 30 minutes because I’m reminded how much I hate sketching and how much I appreciate digital media.
Keep up with my inktobers and see whether or not they go down hill on my instagram! -spoiler alert. they probably will-
He’s definitely still a beefcake with all his lifting them heavy dumbbells and using his arms to defend that goal and all that shit
Boys strong and muscles as fuck ok this we all know
BUT
That does not mean our little knife fiend doesn’t have any chub to him ok
He eats ice cream and sweets and drinks dark liquor and milkshakes like working out can only do so much and when you’re consuming that much sugar (god I sound like Kevin) it’s gotta go somewhere
So yes, Andrew’s got that BEEF but it’s under a layer of soft and especially on his tummy
And Neil fucking loves it alright
Soft bellly pillow when they’re watching TV on the couch
The soft squish against Neil’s back when they spoon together
Massaging the fat when they’re going at it in bed, feeling Andrew’s hard abs working under that delicious layer of fat
Neil loves that goddamn chubby tum and gets slightly irritated every time Kevin tries to put Andrew on a diet because wHAT ABOUT THE TUM???!!!??
Andrew doesn’t give a fuck as long as he’s got his sweets and his strength to fuck shit up if he has to
(And if kinda loves it when Neil nuzzles into his tummy or the fat of his thighs, when his fingers knees into the soft flesh
Or when he hears that little content sigh every time Neil settles his back against Andrew’s stomach—almost pulling Andrew on top of him trying to get as much belly as possible—
