    Summary

    According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.

    It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.

    Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.

    (Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)

    Summary

    Andrew sinks into the couch as Neil’s warmth melts through hm.

    For so long, touch had been nothing but pain. A tally of someone else’s control over his body.

    But here Neil is: his pink cheek resting lazily on Andrew’s knee and his trust tucked snugly into the curve of Andrew’s lap as if there is nowhere safer for it to be.

    Neil touches him – and Andrew realises that not a single trace of hurt exists within it.

    Early life taught Andrew that touch and care bring nothing but pain.

    Neil, however, is insistent on showing him how utterly devoid of violence it can be – to want and be wanted.

    Or

    Andrew and Neil learn how to redefine what touch and care mean to them

    Summary

    Andrew knows how to get what he wants. He knows how to ask, how to indicate boundaries, and how to stab someone in the gut if they choose to ignore those boundaries. That’s really all he’s ever needed. He doesn’t let men touch him. He doesn’t let people get close enough to try.

    Except Neil.

    Except he wants Neil. In ways he’s never wanted anyone before. Never trusted anybody before.
