A little thing I headcannon is that Andrew never asks where Neil is. Neil is CONSTANTLY asking where Andrew is if he hasnāt seen him for approximately 0.5 seconds and even Jean notices how they give ālingering looks when one fell out of orbit for too longā, but Andrew never asks, wanting conceal to the others how much Neil is a weak spot for him. Instead, his eyes slide across the room, scanning, and if he canāt see Neil then Andrew simply gets up and goes in search of him, he knows all of his spots anyways. The foxes, initially just put Andrewās abrupt leave up to his blatantly disrespectful self, deciding he wasnāt interested enough in the conversation, so they donāt really care. However, that isnāt until they notice the pattern. First, Renee, then Dan and Aaron, and soon the others catch on. They observe the way Andrewās fingers start tapping at his sides when his head swivels round and cannot find his specific ginger. They observe the way he gets up immediately and strides towards the door. They also observe the way Andrew hands still slightly as Matt says, āheās on a runā or Kevin tells him Neilās just practicing on the court. Andrew doesnāt acknowledge it openly of course, he never asked and wouldāve been able to find him himself easily, but they all donāt miss the way his head lowers for a second, giving a subtle nod, placated by the fact someone always knows where Neil is. I guess they all know the alternative, when his hands were shaking, wrapped round Kevinās neck in Baltimore. He didnāt ask, āWhereās Neil?ā, he screamed it. And the others didnāt know. And Andrew couldnāt find him.
