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.
