    Summary

    Andrew didn't trust anyone, life had taught him that no act of kindness was free, that people decided to ignore anything that happened around them in order not to get involved.

    That was before he met that kid at the library, a guy who had "problems" written on his forehead. Andrew knew kids like that, maybe Andrew could also call himself a problem, so he tried to ignore it even after they met at school, in the same classroom.

    Only, after an unfortunate event, the boy was the only one who helped him and unlike what Andrew believed, he did not ask him for anything, he did not ask or demand an answer.

    This alone caused everything Andrew knew to shatter.

    Maybe he's not so alone after all, maybe he could finally allow himself to trust someone without the constant fear of being rejected.

    Maybe he finally had someone.

    ***
    Andrew and Neil met before.

    The truth is I'm bad with summaries and I'm not very happy with this one :(, maybe I'll change it, we'll see

    “I’m leaving in two months,” Neil tells him.
    “Perfect. Tomorrow night?”

    Looking for a reason, a reason to stay.

    I had the biggest smile plastered on my face the entire time while reading this. This is one of the most accurate characterisations of Andrew I have seen in a very long time

    Wow. Just wow. This was one of the best character-studies of Andrew that I've ever read. So beautiful.
