Andrew holding on to Neil’s clothing is my Fave Thing™ so let’s just expand on that
- he still always grabs at Neil’s hoodie, esp the neckline
- what a gr8 way to get Neil’s attention bc he doesn’t have to bother with words and also? Now Neil’s looking him? double win.
- (also this is #content for a whole other post but consider, if you will, selectively mute Andrew. nonverbal Andrew. thank you for ur time)
- triple win actually bc then it’s easy to tug neil closer for a kiss. Nice.
- he grabs Neil’s clothes almost all the time, like when they’re sitting next to each other on the couch or in a booth, just to remind Neil that he’s there and to remind himself of the same thing
- sometimes he just hooks a finger in Neil’s collar and sometimes his whole fucking hand is just splayed across Neil’s chest.
- He does the whole arm-around-the-shoulder thing when they’re chilling together at home and his arm wraps so far around Neil his hand is resting against Neil’s chest, under his shirt.
- Neither one will say it but it makes them both feel safe. Andrew can feel Neil’s heart beating steadily and Neil feels the warm, solid weight of Andrew’s hand holding the scarred mess of his skin together.
- once when they’re in a big crowd and they’re trying to move quickly Andrew almost gets separated from Neil but nope. he hooks his fingers in the back of Neil’s sweatshirt. Can’t lose him if he’s got a handful of his shirt.
- Andrew has also been known to hook his fingers thru Neil’s belt loops when they’re walking in a crowd
- picture this please: Andrew, exy badass, no one has seen him smile ever, stoically silent and judgmental At All Times. and more often then not he’s walking on the court with one fist balled up in the back of his boyfriend’s jersey. adorable.

this was inspired by something @key-called-home said, but i don’t remember what. i dont know if it makes any sense bc i just kinda put everything out there and it made me cry but oh well enjoy
Here he is. With his back against the wall, face turned towards
Neil, here he is. There’s a cat in between them, and one at Andrew’s feet, the
window must not be closed all the way because cold, biting wisps of air hit
Andrew’s face, but here he is. Neil’s eyes are closed, and it’s a rare occasion
when Andrew gets to see him like this. He looks, for all intents and purposes,
like he shouldn’t be here. Fast asleep he looks a lot less like the smart mouth
Andrew knows and a lot more like someone who should never have been with The
Foxes to start with, but here he is.He is here.
i love the quote “hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing.” because you know who else is dangerous and disquieting? andrew minyard
i totally love your writing and your Andreil free wedding cake idea was so cute it got me smiling, could you please expand a little more? or maybe write something about them actually marry without telling anyone lmao
Thank you so much! I actually already wrote a drabble about some of the Foxes finding out Andrew and Neil had secretly married, which you can read HERE. But I’m happy to expand on my fake engagement headcannon!
- So back to where part one left off aka the Foxes were having a water/stretch break from practice when Nicky revealed that Andrew and Neil are “engaged”
- While I do believe the Foxes would most likely call bull, let’s suspend a bit of disbelief shall we?
- The Foxes are obviously shocked and lowkey suspicious
- But none of them really saw Andrew and Neil becoming an item in the first place soooo
- These small, angry boys are just full of surprises!
- Plus Matt points out that Neil does get hurt a lot and a lot of hospitals have family only policies
- Everyone nods solemnly because trueee
Protect Neil at all costs, am I right?- So it takes a minute, but then Foxes are 100% on board (
or maybe like 90 if we’re including Aaron)- Cue congratulations and excited chatter
- Love and support and family!
Andrew “this is nothing” Minyard defending his boyfriend
andreil + notifications (insp. by x)
“Don’t ‘always’ me.” … “Don’t ask for the truth if you’re just going to dilute it.”
let’s pretend for a while that i have no au’s in the works and just put another one here anyway
- neil doesn’t know what he wants to do with his future
- he’d had no idea he could have a future
- so someone at the high school he managed to last at for two full years asks what his plans are and he doesn’t know
- he doesn’t even have interests and this teacher is at her wits’ end
- “why am i in this job? ah yes, if you can’t do anything else, teach”
- which gives her an idea
- she asks if neil has considered teaching
- he hasn’t
- but it sounds like it could work
Photographer!Andrew & Model!Neil AU
(part one) (part two)
- Neil Abram Josten, is an on the rise model. Son of a former actor (granted a douchebag of one) and a make-up artist, Neil is a stunner. He was pressured to model by his father and has slowly come to hate the world he was forced into.
- Riko Moriyama is the son of several very successful models and the brother of Ichirou Moriyama- the current face of Calvin Klein. However, it’s clear he has no actual talent and keeps stealing jobs from his “best friend” Kevin Day, much to the disgust of Day’s agent David Wymack.
- Anyway, so Neil is still famous for his sass, especially at Riko. His social media accounts are just clapbacks left and right. Almost too many for everyone to keep up with.
- “Shout out to Riko Moriyama for proving to us that names can get you jobs but not talent.”
- “Hey @Riko_Moriyama – have you learned how much it costs to pull your head out of your ass? If you can’t cover it all, maybe some of us can help you out. Our contracts probably give us more wiggle room than yours.”
- Neil’s mother dies near the end of his contract, a fatal car accident that Neil is also involved it. He disappears for several years, during which Riko tells lies about Kevin to get him fired and steal his spotlight.
- Andrew Minyard is an on the rise photographer, slowly becoming famous for his photographs which shed light on tougher subjects within celebrities. He was still in juvie for three years, though no one is entirely sure why.
- When he decided to return to the public eye, Neil goes to find Andrew, interrupts him in the middle of a photo shoot and hires him to help expose the Hollywood world for what it is.
- Andrew thinks that Neil is a bit of a demanding ass, is annoyed with his quick temper and doesn’t want to do the job. Neil thinks Andrew is just another pretentious photographer. They don’t get along really, but finally Andrew is convinced to join.
Love is spending the rest of your life with someone you want to kill and not doing it because you’d miss them.
do u ever laugh about the fact that neil told kevin to “put a leash on your pet monster” when later it becomes clear that no one puts a leash on andrew except neil
