andrews-nothing:

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.
