A COLLECTION OF AFTG PARALLELS: STAY.

Andrew hummed a little in mock disapproval. “Have to nothing. There you go again, thinking there’s only one choice. I thought you didn’t want to leave.“ 

“I don’t want to,” Neil said. 

“What would it take to make you stay?" 

The question was so unexpected Neil had to turn back. "What?" 

Andrew laughed quietly at his shock and leaned forward. "Name it and it’s yours.”

For a second Neil thought Andrew would push him away and be done with this. Andrew did push, but he followed Neil down. The short carpet was rough against Neil’s knuckles where Andrew pinned his hand over his head. Neil couldn’t complain when Andrew was an unyielding weight on top of him. He started to reach for Andrew again but stopped himself halfway there. Andrew snagged that hand too and held it down out of the way. 

"Stay,” Andrew said, and leaned down to kiss him.
