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 it’s completed and I think it’s a 5+1 type of fic. Thank you for the help <3

hi yes this fic lives in my head rent fucking free -maz

“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. “Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

“How do you know?”

Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” 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 — 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 Andrew’s anymore.

“He has to know,” Andrew says.

“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

i imagine you mean this one -maz

After college Andrew left behind both exy and Neil. Five years later, he’s built himself a stable life with nothing wanting. Sure, he hasn’t had a meaningful relationship since college, but he hasn’t found anyone compatible and he’s not overly interested in romance, anyway. He has friends, family, and pets; he’s not missing out on anything.

for sure! -halley

here’s the rec, and thank you! -maz

The Best of Men by FightMeImSmall (G | Incomplete | 4/5)

SHOCK: Kevin Day reveals both Andrew Minyard AND Neil Josten are to fill his coveted Best Man position!

Fans have been speculating ever since Kevin Day and Thea Muldani announced their engagement as to who Day would ask to be by his side. Many discounted fox involvement entirely, suggesting fellow famous exy players such as Jeremy Knox, Jean Moreau, or even Marcus Jameson. The few that speculated that either Andrew Minyard or Neil Josten would be chosen were stoutly supportive of one and discounted the other. Who could have foreseen that Day would choose both! How these two famously antagonistic players will fare will remain to be seen. Good luck Kevin and Thea!

Or

cheers for the rec -maz

Neil thinks it might be the first time he’s taken a breath in days.

He hadn’t realised it because he’d been so caught up in packing and saying goodbye to everyone but now that it’s over he remembers his self-imposed countdown was meant to be up by now. It’s the end of the school year and five months ago, he thought he’d be dead by now.

Instead he has a team and a future and a home and Andrew.

(The last two might be interchangeable.)
