â There was nowhere for Neil to stand except up against Andrew, but somehow Neil didnât mind. Theyâd been apart for seven weeks but Neil keenly remembered why heâd stayed. He remembered this unyielding, unquestioning weight that could hold him and Al his problems up without breaking a sweat. For the first time in months he could finally breathe again. It was such a relief it was frightening; Neil hadnât meant to lean on Andrew so much. â (The Kingâs Men, page 16)
Yâall, theyâre literally THE ship everrrr
Gods, they havenât even kissed yet, but the way Neil describes Andrew will always kill me.
Oh, to be loved so much by someone who seems to be able to hold you and every one of your problems up with such ease.
To feel such relief that you describe it in the same way you describe the opportunity of college, like a dream and damnation all at once
