Hey thank you for all the amazing work you do đŠ
I was looking for an andreil fic where Andrew assumes Neil knows what he means when he says that Neil means nothing, but Neil takes it literally. I know itâs completed and I think itâs a 5+1 type of fic. Thank you for the help <3
hi yes this fic lives in my head rent fucking free

âHave you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?â Renee says. âHave you ever explicitly told him what you want?â
âNeil knows what I want,â Andrew snaps. This is not Andrewâs fault.
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrewâs micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean âgo onâ and which ones mean âshut up.â Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil â his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrewâs anymore.
âHe has to know,â Andrew says.
âDoes he?â Renee says. âHave you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?â
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew arenât dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.
