    Summary

    It doesn't make sense. Neil was fine. More than fine. He’s safe at home with Andrew, and this should be the best possible ending to one of Neil’s best days, but when Neil squeezes his eyes shut, all he can see is —

    Riko grinning with vicious pleasure as he slices Neil open. Riko’s eyes reflecting the glow of the lighter licking Neil’s skin. Riko laughing as a tattoo gun needle digs into Neil’s cheek.

    Riko, Riko, Riko, smothering and impossible to escape. Panic knifes through Neil as he yanks uselessly against the handcuffs. No, no, no —

    And then he’s saying it aloud, “No, no, no,” because there isn't a gag cutting into the sides of his mouth. Because Neil isn’t at Evermore. He’s at home with Andrew, who’s right there when Neil opens his eyes — only near the foot of the bed now, not touching Neil at all.

    Neil has long gotten used to reading the faint shades of emotion that pass for expressions on Andrew’s face. But never, not even in Andrew's medicated, manically expressive days, has Neil seen Andrew wear anything like his current look of horrified shock.

    Neil agrees to try the handcuffs in bed. It goes badly. Cue angst and h/c.

    Summary

    “Fuck,” Dokja vocalized. He was half-naked in Yoo Joonghyuk’s bed. He was in Yoo Joonghyuk’s apartment. His ex-best friend, ex-boyfriend, ex-life partner, Yoo Joonghyuk.

    Two years after Kim Dokja left Yoo Joonghyuk, their lives intertwined again. Their initial conclusion was incomplete—a tragic ending after years of unresolved conflict. But during a summer filled with family adventures, stilted conversations, and longing glances, empty pages still awaited the story hidden between a billion words left unsaid.

    Summary

    “I think he’ll come to you,” she concludes. “Each person experiences attraction and sexuality in a unique way. It is possible there’s a kind of fear there, something foreign and unfamiliar to him.”

    Andrew mulls this over in his head. He thinks of Neil’s lingering gazes, of the recent reappearance of that warm blush on the tops of his cheeks. He considers, also, the inherent vulnerability of allowing oneself to be desired, and the shamelessness of desiring another. It’d make sense that Neil, both rabbit and fox, immense in his attempts to make himself minuscule, would be wary of something so terrifying.

     

    Alternatively: On Neil Josten’s apprehension regarding his own attraction to Andrew Minyard, told by Andrew’s increasingly flustered and consistently perplexed point of view.

    Summary

    Kevin knows that Neil is really Nathaniel, Neil knows that Kevin is in love with Andrew, and they both know that Andrew will never be romantically available to either of them. Clearly, the only possible solution to this equation is that Neil and Kevin should start hooking up so that they can forget about who they really want to be with. After all, what's one more secret between them?

    Or,

    Neil propositions Kevin: why don't they drown their emotional sorrows about Andrew together?

    Summary

    Andrew spends most of his childhood thinking he is a psychopath. He is not. Andrew is, and always will be, just Andrew.

    Summary

    “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?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    Andrew has always been the one others look to for protection, for saving, for safety. He’s made his share of deals, wielded knives for others, fought battles that weren’t his to fight. Having someone else do the same for him, to want to do the same for him, is a disturbing and frightening prospect. But maybe, just maybe, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. 

    Or: 5 times Andrew pushed away Neil’s protection + 1 time he asked for it

    Summary

    Andrew has always been a protector at heart despite how often he bullies Neil for his martyr complex. The summer before Neil's second year, however, he begins to feel the impacts of his life finally crash down on him just as they were finally safe from harm. Andrew fights with himself and doesn't know how he can help. But he soon realises, in order for him to help Neil, he needs to help himself too.

    Or

    The Convincing-Neil-To-Get-Therapy Chronicles. Written by Andrew Minyard and edited by Betsy Dobson.

    Summary

    ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

    Nathan had strangled him within an inch of his life that night, and his mother had watched from the living room chair with utter indifference. She had sat with her legs crossed and one hand propping up her face, an open book dangling between her lithe fingers in the other. She had looked like the picture of a Saint with her unrivaled beauty and sheer apathy. Neil naively guessed that she must have been ordered to watch by Nathan.

    ✦ Or Neil goes for a run without Andrew knowing. This proceeds to scare the absolute shit out of Andrew.
