I’m gonna write this later but I wanted to toss this into the void.

  • Neil “jokingly” propose to Andrew in an interview.
  • He’s doing a TV spot on one of those Late Night shows and the interviewer asks him “if you had to be stuck with one of your teammates forever who would you pick”
  • Neil promptly responds “Andrew” and the audience and the interviewer kind of laugh thinking he’s joking since it’s just the type of show to make celebs look personable and fun
  • And they just think Neil has a very dry sense of humor
  • So Neil is like “yeah Andrew would make a great husband, he’s good with kids and animals too”
  • Which is not what the interviewer expected but they kind of roll with it like “you put a lot of thought into it”
  • Which Neil kind of shrugs at and makes some other offhandedly comment before the interview is redirected to another topic
  • When the episode airs, Neil uses his very official business only social media account
  • (Twitter?? Instagram?? It doesn’t matter he’s not even sure of the password and has to ask his publicist/manager for it)
  • Anyway he posts some kind of cutesy photos with Andrew or of Andrew. They’re not too intimate but they’re all way more human than most of the public views him.
  • (One of him on the couch in his glasses reading a book and a cat on his lap. One of him with Dan and Matt’s kids letting them put fake makeup on him and paint his nails. One of a random blonde tuff of hair burried in blankets vaguely flipping off the camera. And a selfie with Neil who’s only half paying attention to the camera with a huge smile and on his face while Andrew stares at him and ignores the camera entirely.)
  • The fans are caught between celebrating and wondering if it’s all a joke.
  • Neil refuses to comment on anything that isn’t exy and Andrew isn’t one to comment on anything.
  • The buzz dies down for a while until Neil once again decides to revive his dying social media accounts to post a single photo from their wedding reception of Neil feeding Andrew a slice of cake. The caption is just a ring and a heart.

trubenblack:

Andrew is such a disaster gay I just know one day there’s some article about how he’s dating Katelyn and he comes storming into his and Neil’s apartment and almost trips over a cat as he yells that they’re coming out because he refuses to be seen as a heterosexual

trubenblack:

– Aaron marching into Neil and Andrews room being like YOU BETTER NOT BE HAVING SEX. and he walks in and just freezes bc they’re just sitting, andrew reading, and neil is watching exy with his head on Andrew’s lap and Andrew’s fingers in his hair.

Aaron pretends to be disgusted and all that, and internally he does feel a bit of disgust (leftover homophobia ingrained by his mother and uncle) But honestly, most of what he feels is just relief, that andrew gets to have that with someone even if it has to be Neil fucking Josten the most annoying human in the planet. 

(it also helps his opinion of Neil, seeing him being soft with Andrew, because it stops him from seeing them as simple hate sex. It’s impossible to think of Neil as using Andrew in any way when you see him truly looking when he talks to Andrew to make sure he doesn’t go too far or dig too deep in his questions.)

– Aaron may not like Neil, may never like Neil (although i like to think they do end up liking each other. But by the end of university he sure as hell appreciates what Neil does to, and for Andrew

wit-craft:

honestly as funny as the idea of neil and andrew purposely playing up a “rivalry” to fuck w the press I genuinely think we’re underutilizing the concept of neil just having. no idea. he’s just here for the game?? he doesn’t keep track of dumb gossip about who hates who??

and meanwhile the media is going oh man minyard and josten! they hate each other!! whenever they’re asked about on another in interviews neil always has something bitchy to say. andrew straight up says he hates him (andrew knows what they think of course he just doesn’t care enough to mention it). but nobody actually uses the term “"rivalry”“ directly to neil they’re just ask stuff like “what do you think of andrew”

then like three years in a reporter finally goes “so, considering your well-known rivalry w andrew minyard—” and he’s just like my WHAT.

Kevin Day’s “do you know who I am?!” Moment

  • The football players were having a party the same time the Exy players where, so, the two parties ended up combining, for better or worse…
  • Some how, Kevin found himself talking to a football jock. Tall, buff, probably called Chad, caucasian.
  • Chad’s like “what’s the deal with girls being on your team? Isn’t your sport, like, super violent?”
  • “All genders play Exy together, that’s how the game was created” says Kevin.
  • “Yeah, but, like, you don’t know that.”
  • Kevin just… blinks at him and goes “I’m sorry?”
  • “You can’t actually know for sure that’s how the guys who made Exy wrote the original rules, man, people probably just put girls in with the boys so that-”
  • He stops, because Kevin’s face has gone purple.
  • “I don’t know?” Kevin says. “I don’t know? I don’t know?”
  • Nicky’s being listening in the whole time and now he feels like he needs to get everyone to an underground bunker.
  • Chad’s laughing like “dude, calm the fuck down.”
  • “You’re saying that I have no idea what the intention of the creators were even though one of them was my own mother?”
  • Chad stares at him blankly. Then says, “your mom created Exy?”
  • Nicky grabs Aaron by the arm and drags him under the nearest table, just as Kevin explodes.
  • “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO THE HELL YOU’VE BEEN TALKING TO? DOES IT NOT OCCURE TO YOU THAT I HAVE A BIG-ASS CHESS PIECE TATTOOED ON MY FACE?”
  • “What the fuck do I care about some dumb tat?”
  • “ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON’T KNOW WHO I AM?”
  • “Should I?”
  • Kevin picks up the nearest bottle and smashes it over his head.

minyardjostenrivalry:

andreil soulmate au where the name on neil’s arm is burned off of him before he’s old enough to read. the name on andrew’s, covered in scars, is the name neil was born with, and everything’s a mess (because it’s andrew and neil, of course it is)

neil
doesn’t see andrew’s mark for the longest time and when he does he almost has a fucking heart attack. andrew thinks he’s freaking out about the scars for a second and then he sees where Neil’s looking, at those black letters on pale skin, and that’s when he starts to guess about neil, even if it takes a while to get confirmation

later on they get tattoos together. neil gets andrew’s name redone because that should’ve been his, he should’ve had that name with him his whole life, and andrew gets “nathaniel wesninski” covered because that’s not who neil is anymore. on his other arm he gets neil’s name, first middle last. the tattoo artist is stupid enough to assume they’re some non-bonded couple that won’t really last, asking them over and over if they’re sure. he tries to joke with neil about stealing andrew away from his real soulmate and neil gives him a sharp smile and tells him that nathaniel wesninski is dead.

(neil’s secretly fucked up in love over the fact that andrew got his tattoo redone with neil’s permanent name because no one else is really gonna see it, since andrew never wears short sleeves. but andrew did it anyway because he sees the way neil freezes every time he sees his old name)

the minyard josten rivalry lasts all of about 45 seconds before someone’s like “yo josten has andrew’s name on his fucking arm” (they don’t see andrew’s so they still have to speculate a little but neil doesn’t hide his. he doesn’t go around flaunting it either, but he doesn’t exactly make it hard on them)

this is great and i love it but counterpoint about the minyard-josten rivalry: both neil and andrew keep making up shit about the tattoos to the point of absurdity

“we don’t all have a perfect memory. i got his name tattooed to remind myself that i hate him even when i can’t see him” – neil

“he’s so stupid. he got my name tattooed to commemorate our five year rivals anniversary and forgot that soul marks are a thing” – andrew

“andrew has mine so i figured it would be rude not to match” – neil

“josten doesn’t even drink but sometimes he gets drunk on his own stupidity and things like that happen” – andrew

“we got married and i would lose all and any rings so i got this” – neil

“josten can’t half-ass anything, i once told him that i didn’t hate him that much and he went and got a fucking tattoo of my name” – andrew

“i killed his soulmate and i didn’t have one to begin with so we figured we’d just get together” – neil

“he killed my soulmate and it was really hot so i figured why not” – andrew

reporter: “andrew what’s your tattoo say?” andrew, deadpan: “i don’t have arms”

egglorru:

hc that Sir Fat Cat McCatterson is a big floppy lazy slab of warm purring fluff that is content to lay wherever he is deposited.

So when Andrew strains his lower back reaching to block a shot at an ill-advised angle, Neil gently plops their loaf of a living massage/heating pad on Andrew’s back and Sir just lays there and purrs Andrew into recovery. (Side note vibration therapy for muscles can be traced back to ancient Greeks!)

It’s the only time Andrew verbally expresses that he doesn’t completely hate the cat.

At least until his heating pad farts.

spookyandreil:

based on this idea that i had where andrew and neil are youtubers and are essentially dan and phil. disclaimer: this is very loosely based on dan and phil and while i did borrow ideas from their interactions/videos it is not all based on them and i’m not meaning to imply anything about them or any possible relationship, just writing my spin on things. the way people theorize about them dating reminded me of andreil fics with their rivalry in the media so i made this

  • first things first: neil is neilisnotonfire and andrew is amazingandrew simply because of the way it sounds and not at all to do with the content or personalities in respect to dan and phil
  • neil does mostly storytimes because he has ~a lot~ of stories and andrew plays video games and occasionally records fights with renee etc
  • they have a side reaction channel that they share where they react to various exy plays and the like but just rip apart everyone
  • it’s considered an honor among exy players and just everyone in general if neil and/or andrew actually compliment you or even just make no comment at all because they are that blunt
  • neil is obvs more into it but andrew is HARSH and has a better time filming the videos than he would like to admit
  • everyone knows that they’ve been living together forever and that they played college exy together which is how the met but the internet is divided on whether or not they are together(they totally are)
  • they dont come out because they love screwing with people
  • even on their regular channels there are constant collabs
  • there are constant innuendos that they either ignore or pretend are accidental to mess with people further
  • they absolutely have a series of baking videos and either whatever they’re making comes out perfect or like shit there’s no in between
  • they also have an april fools channel that they only upload videos to every april 1st
  • (andrew wears all white and neil actually dresses nice and they both fake smile the whole time and are fake nice to each other and do crafts)
  • the foxes appear enough that their viewers know who they are despite none of them having their own channels
  • when they go see exy games live they vlog or livestream to get real time reactions from a live game on their channel
  • the best is when they go see kevin’s games and roast him
  • they literally only roast kevin in those videos
  • *slow zoom on kevin sitting out on the bench* *the i’m a barbie girl song plays in the background*
  • they tour together of course
  • touring is difficult for them
  • neither of them are big talkers to begin with and coming up with a set is hard so they mostly just take audience questions and meet their fans and sign stuff
  • sometimes neil goes on andrew’s channel to play games that andrew tries to teach him but he fails everytime
  • even at the exy game to his extreme dismay(“but i’m PUSHING the jump button why isn’t he jumping” “there is no jumping in this game, neil”)
  • they have had kevin on the exy channel before but kevin only complained about how they both stopped playing after college the whole time so they never invited him back
  • they have also had all of the foxes on the exy reaction channel and racked up the views with the clickbait “our college exy team roasts kevin day’s playing” which they absolutely do so it’s not really clickbait but they only called it that so people would click on
  • neil did a video where alison did his makeup and then he did hers
  • after incessant requests alison did the same video with andrew on his channel
  • they set up two bedrooms in their apartment to fool the public even though they only ever sleep in andrew’s because they are that extra
  • eventually they needed to convert one of the bedrooms into an office type room because they ran out of drawers to shove paperwork into so neil “mysteriously” starts filming in their living room which many people take to be proof that they switched to a shared bedroom
  • neil always tries to catch andrew eating his cereal on video to prove that it’s him stealing it but never can until one day he actually does and it’s the happiest vlog of his life he cries
  • sometimes when they’re lazy and don’t have a video ready they will just upload compilations of the cats being cute and weird
  • andrew will sometimes join neil for his storytimes if he was there for the actual occurrence of the event and is feeling up for talking
  • mostly neil will tell the story but andrew will add details and dry remarks if warrented
  • neil also sometimes won’t tell andrew about something that happened to him(but only if it isn’t important like a weird uber driver or smth small) and will record andrew’s reaction to neil telling him the story for the first time
  • they eventually do come out and it’s really cute
  • andrew is the one who makes the video after they had been considering it for a while
  • “you guys were right neil and i were dating that whole time but i regret to inform you that we aren’t anymore”
  • that’s it. that’s the whole video. the internet actually implodes
  • an hour later(they were going to wait until the next day but after seeing everyone’s reactions neil couldn’t help but take mercy on them) neil uploads his follow up
  • it’s even shorter than andrew’s and it’s just neil saying “relax we’re married now” followed by him holding up his ring and beyoncé saying “if you like it than you should’ve put a ring on it” playing on loop over the outro
  • nobody relaxes
  • #andreil starts trending on all social media platforms
  • mercifully and entirely because of neil they upload a q&a the next week and it’s over a half hour long of them answering the questions people were inevitably asking despite them not asking for q&a questions
  • they call the video “yes, andreil is andREAL”
  • everything about the whole situation is perfect and they are happy

Neil and Andrew buy tampons

  • Neil and Andrew stopped by the girls room on their way to the store to see if they needed anything
  • Dan said “yeah Tampax Active”
  • From the bed room Allison yelled “tampax pearl lite”
  • After a pause she added “And the always nighttime pads”
  • “Orange or purple?” Neil’s asked
  • “Orange” said Renee
  • “Okay, gotcha, we’ll be back in like an hour” said Neil
  • “You know what all that means? I always get so confused when they ask me to buy them” said Matt
  • “It’s not hard to figure out if you take ten seconds and actually read the box instead of grabbing the first thing you see and running away” said Neil as he walked out the door
  • He heard a chorus of Ooohhh burn from the girls as he walked away
  • Once they got to the store they walked straight to the health section to grab the girls stuff
  • Neil realized he didn’t ask about what size box so he got the middle one for everything.
  • Andrew grabbed each of the girls favorite ice cream flavors in the freezer isle and stopped by the candy isle to grab three bags of different caramels
  • As they checked out the teen cashier asked if the tampons were for his girlfriend
  • “Oh no…. for my sisters” Neil replied
  • “Sisters, like more than one?” Asked the teen
  • “Three” Neil said
  • “Good luck then man”
  • Andrew threw three candy bars on the belt right and Neil glared at him
  • “Remember what happened last month?” Andrew said
  • “Oh yeah… But we’re already getting them ice cream and candy” Neil said
  • “You can never be over prepared” said cashier, “can I ask what happened last month?”
  • “I offered Allison the last cookie and she said I could have it and then cried when she got home and found out I ate because she wanted it,” Neil said, “but that was right after a test so she probably wasn’t actually crying about the cookie”
  • As they left the cashier called good luck after them
  • They dropped off the regular groceries in their room, then carried the snacks and tampons/pads to the girls room
  • When Allison saw the candy she started kissing Neil’s head until he mumbled that Andrew picked them out, then she said “I can’t kiss him so I’ll kiss you even more”
  • Dan and Renee smothered Neil in a group hug and Dan called called out to Matt “See Neil knows how to treat a girl”

That is so cute
