Summary:

for andreil week 2019: day 7 — “i could kill you right now”

Andrew cleared his throat. Neil snorted, watching him school his features into a serious expression. “I could kill you right now.”

Andreil Week Day 3: phobia | language | tattoo/piercing

i’ve never really seen andrew or neil as the kind of people to get piercings or tattoos, but for andreil week i went “what if”

and considering i drew a shirtless andrew for andreil week last year, i guess it’s only fair this year it’s neil’s turn

Andreil week day 1: alternate meeting (i know, i know, i'm late)

The guy who the bag belongs to looks to be around Neil’s age, maybe a little older. But now that Neil’s close enough to get a better look, he’s clearly exhausted; there’s dark shadows under his eyes that imply a few nights of poor sleep. His blond hair is mussed on one side like he’s been running a hand through it, and he’s dressed all in black; long-sleeved black t-shirt, black torn jeans, black combat boots. He also has a black hoodie which he’s balled up and is using as a pillow against the back of his chair. His arms are crossed, and he looks...not quite pissed off, but there’s certainly something unapproachable about him.

And yet he’s watching Neil, unblinking, unsmiling, almost like he’s silently daring him to speak.

“Can I sit there?” Neil points at the chair.

The guy looks from Neil to the chair and back again, then he shrugs. “I dunno. Can you?”

Final chapter! Featuring: unadulterated fluff.
