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

mokuuton:

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

a softer idea

whatmack:

It starts, like so many of the things in Neil’s life, with someone being cruel

Allison’s visiting and they’re out grabbing lunch and a passerby cracks a joke about Neil’s scars

And it’s been a hot minute and Neil doesn’t really care but he’s tired of this, tired of people recognizing him as damaged when he’s working on being a whole real person

Allison notices and once she’s finished her biting one-liner coming for the passerby’s life she leans across the table and presses a firm kiss to Neil’s right cheek, directly over the pull of knife scars

Neil’s been learning he likes physical contact, from people he trusts, and he’s surprised but he blossoms under the contact and relaxes

So it becomes a thing

Dan busses Neil’s cheek in greeting when she visits

Renee’s cheek-kisses always leave Neil with the lingering scent of citrus shampoo

Nicky likes to make a joke of it, give Neil’s burn scars a huge smacking kiss when Neil’s feeling down

Matt throws himself into this idea completely, of course

Even Kevin, sometimes, if it’s just them in their dorm and Neil passes Kevin the notes they’re taking on a game, will press a brief kiss to Neil’s cheekbone in thanks

(Aaron doesn’t; but he doesn’t complain when the others do, and that’s– that’s something)

And of course Andrew

Andrew

Never in front of the others, but at night when Neil’s curled against him Andrew will work slow and reverent lips over Neil’s cheeks and nose, dropping down frequently to kiss that mouth that features in so many of Andrew’s dreams

cigarettesandneckfetishes:

My new favorite hc is Chubby Belly Andrew™️

Ok so hear me out

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—

Well

Nobody has to know about that)

The Foxes Play Fuck/Marry/Kill

allforthecourtt:

based off my earlier post

It started out as a movie night
until none of the Foxes could agree on a movie to watch.

Somehow between arguing over movies
and Nicky showing up with a lot of booze, someone (Matt) came up with the great
idea that they should have a team-bonding night instead by playing question
games.

Nearly everyone started to refuse
before Allison reminded them of all of the bets they could settle tonight with
a pointed look towards Neil and Andrew who were sitting side-by-side on the couch.

Nicky (who was already five shots
in) suggested fuck/marry/kill

Keep reading

Andreil headcanons

forsnat:

The year Andrew
graduates and goes pro, and Neil stays behind to complete his last year at Palmetto,
they text each other A LOT.

Since Andrew is not
really a talkative type, they mostly send photos

The first couple of
weeks go by with texting/skyping like couple of times a week

Then one night after a
long day Neil feels bad and goes to the rooftop. He misses Andrew so much, so
he takes a photo of the parking lot from the roof and sends it to Andrew without any words.

Almost instantly he
gets a picture from Andrew and it’s a view of the night city skyline from his
rooftop with a greyish whiff of cigarette smock in the corner of the picture.

(It makes Neil feel warm
and fuzzy, and Andrew ups the percentage)

And so it begins.

Next morning Neil sends
him a photo of Andrew’s t-shirt he found in his laundry.

And later that day a
selfie of himself wearing that shirt.

Andrew sends him photos
of the court where he’s practicing and pictures of his new gear, and (after some
begging) a picture of himself wearing it.

(Neil is hyperventilating)

(Andrew knows it – that’s
why he sent the photos: to earn boyfriend points with his exy-obsessed junkie)

At some point Andrew
sends Neil a photo of some keys, and when asked about it says that they are the
stolen keys to his pro court

(Neil comes to visit the
very next weekend)

(They totally break in
there)

One night at like three
o’clock Andrew is woken by a message sound from his phone and it’s a short
video from Neil where you can barely see his unimpressed face in the dark, but can
hear shouts and screams of the freshmen fighting in the common room.

Andrew sends back a
picture of his knives and a question mark.

Neil sends back a
laughing emoji.

Next day Andrew sends Neil a
video of Andrew’s coach yelling at his team. It ends with him yelling at Andrew
for filming it and snatching the phone from his hands.

It’s also the small
things

Like steaming hot
coffee in an “exy is sexy” cup

A sports journal with
Kevin on the cover with a mustache drawn on with a sharpie

A black eye Neil got
from a stray ball with a capture “I hate this team”

Andrew sends the picture
of the knives again, but with an exclamation mark this time.

Ridiculous typos in a local
restaurant menu

Two buckets of
pistachio ice cream (Andrew comes to visit next weekend)

A picture of a TV
screen with Andrew’s bored face on it from an interview after one of the games (with
an “I miss you” capture)

Andrew just replies
with a percentage.

The wall with team photos
from Foxhole court

Andrew’s feet thrown on
the back of the seat on the team bus

A photo of Kevin yelling
at his teammates during the warmup, from when they were having a match against
each other.

A photo of Wymack looking
into the camera like he’s not being paid enough for any of this

(This photo later goes
on the wall).

A photo of a contract
Neil signed with a pro team

A photo of PSU library

Stacks of books and notes
and numerous cups of coffee

A calendar with days
crossed off leading to the graduation

A photo of the road
ahead from the Maserati

Then again a photo of the
view from the Foxhole tower rooftop

And finally a photo of
Neil, eyes wide open, throwing open the door to the roof to find Andrew
standing there with a phone in his hand.

egglorru:

What if Andrew went to sleep respectably big-spooning Neil, but wakes up before dawn to find he has Neil flat on his back, Neil’s shirt rucked up, Andrew’s arms wrapped tight around Neil’s waist, and snuggling into his scarred tummy like a child with a stuffed toy?

What if in that bleary, tense moment before he fully realizes what he’s doing and jerks away, Neil sifts a hand into his hair and mumbles “stay”, so he relaxes after a minute and plants his face back where it was?

What if when they wake up together a few hours later, he has impressions of Neil’s scars on his cheek like lines from a rumpled pillowcase, and Neil’s smile at having Andrew so close is vulnerable and soft and open and makes Andrew’s heart clench?

What if he stopped wearing armbands to bed a long time ago, and this is what makes Neil comfortable enough to stop wearing a shirt to bed too?

I headcannon that Andrew is really buff. What do you think?

miniyrds:

myexalted:

miniyrds:

oh hell yeah do i think andrew is buff. but, dear anon, i see your buff andrew and raise you lean-muscled!neil. actually, you can have both

andrew bench pressing the same amount as kevin and infinitely more effortless

neil fucking josten sitting between andrew’s shoulders while he does push ups (someone wrote a hc for this before i remember who it is but i don’t wanna tag them bc that seems rude idk)

andrew effortlessly carrying neil when he’s fallen asleep in the foxhole lounge, on the couch, at his desk, literally everywhere

okay but lean!neil

neil is a runner and a distance one at that. so he doesn’t have the thighs of a sprinter, his are more cut and defined and he literally has like .5% body fat so he’s pretty skinny but not

he’s slim which was helpful for getting through tight places on the move and it helps him on the court because backliners are bricks and neil just dodges them effortlessly

not to mention he’s slim enough to sit between andrew’s shoulder blades

do not get me wrong though. in no way is he going to get blown over by a strong gust of wind. neil is extremely sturdy

okay enough about that, here’s what i’ve been waiting for

the great neil and andrew wearing each other’s clothes

but with a twist

see, andrew may be shorter, but he’s like twice as wide almost so when he grabs neil’s hoodie, it hugs his muscles in a way that makes neil Weak™ for the rest of the day

but andrew’s hoodie on neil is perfect for lounging in because it’s loose and neil can do that sweatshirt sleeve slappy thing because it hangs off of him.

idk i just really like buff!andrew and lean!neil together

I headcanon that the reason why Neil never really commented on Andrew’s size even tho he never shuts up about Andrew’s height is because Andrew is bigger than Neil and Neil is Salty™

Not only is Neil Salty AF, he’s also super turned on which is why he’s got that neck fetish. Andrew’s neck is veiny and it matches up perfectly with his extremely sharp jawline oh boy

whatmack:

things allison has done to try to signal to renee that she’s into girls and dtf (but also dt buy a city apartment and raise plants and dogs together)

‘so who on the team do you think’s gay? i get a vibe from twin mega crazy 1′ (‘hm, don’t you think it’s rude to speculate about how our teammates identify?’) (dammit)

24-hour florence and the machine playlist (’would you mind turning that down please? I’m trying to sleep’) (shit fuck)

‘these are the top 5 female celebrities I would TOTALLY bang, renee who are yours?’ (‘I don’t think I have a list’) (godDAMMIT)

‘hey renee what do you think of this bra?’ (‘the lace is nice but looks itchy, I’m not really an expert, ask dan?’) (RENEE COME ON)

six-inch rainbow heels

please add onto this I need 50k of allison pining uselessly and renee barely keeping a lid on her gay thoughts

Painting her nails the Bi flag colours (Renee offers a causal complement then doesn’t bring it up further.)

‘Wanna watch a movie with me tonight?’ ‘OK, I’ll ask Dan to join us’

Brushes Renee’s hair behind her ear, finds excuses to hold her hand, touches knees with her. Renee has no reaction. (On the outside.)

‘So, any particular reason for the rainbow tips?’ ‘They’re pretty’ ‘you bet they are, anything else?’ ‘I just like them’ ‘I just like you’ ‘aww I like you, too, Allison’ (??????????gay??????GAY?????????)

‘You ever wonder if you’ve already met the person you’re going to marry?’ ‘Sometimes’ ‘I wonder all the time’ ‘hm’ (HM?)

Andrew notices and points it out to Neil. ‘She should just take your approach, Drew’ ’…dare I ask?’ ‘Just straight up tell her she’d give her head ;)’ ’……….amazing, you actually have a good point, mark the calendar.’

Meanwhile, Renee is Captain Useless Lesbian and has been internally screaming for 12 years.
