Summary
Aaron asked, “What’s your deal? What’s going on?”
Andrew had no choice. He stood up, walked to the bowl of freshly cut melon surrounded by pools of watermelon juice and an assortment of black seeds, and plucked a piece of the fruit. It was dark red and glistening and sweet on his tongue.
It tasted like ash. Like a dirty little secret. Like a mistake.

Summary
“And when he’s gone?” Andrew asked.
Then I’m gone too, Neil thought, but didn’t say. There likely wouldn’t be any reason for Neil to run, but he was going to, anyway. Everyone looking for him would be dead or in jail by the time the FBI was done, but Neil had never been taught to stay in one place. He wasn’t sure if he even knew how. All Neil knew how to do was disappear.
“I’ll be alone, I guess,” Neil said with a shrug.
“Lucky you,” Andrew said. He flicked his cigarette butt off the roof and onto the sidewalk below them.
“Yeah,” Neil said. He stubbed his cigarette out on the sole of his shoe and tossed it over the side of the building after Andrew’s. “Lucky me.”or: neil is an insomniac. andrew is going to beijing. they aren't supposed to meet, but they do anyway.

Summary
But with these hookups came the in between moments, or the before and after moments. Sometimes Andrew would stay or show up early with takeout, and he and Neil would just sit and talk. Sometimes, if they were at Andrew’s, he would run song lyrics by Neil first, playing the guitar chords and testing out different phrases before kissing them into Neil’s skin.
Somewhere, in these moments, it had become more for Neil. It had become searching for Andrew’s smirks when Neil complained about a difficult translation piece. It had become laughing at Andrew’s red face when he ate anything remotely spicy. It had become playing footsie while watching old cartoons on Neil’s couch. It had become going over to Andrew’s to hook up, but falling asleep to Andrew playing his guitar instead.

Summary
Jean asks for a favor. Neil finds himself at the center of a territorial squabble. It's him. He's the territory.
“But why me?”
“You are my only good option. Aaron is straight. Andrew is rabid. Allison and Seth are on and off so often it’s impossible to keep track. Dan and Matt are a couple and getting them both to agree to pretend to date me would be harder. Renee doesn’t like men. Katelyn is lovely but Aaron would be angry. I don’t know which of the others started or stopped dating over the summer. That leaves you."
“What about Kevin?”
Jean scoffs. “You cannot be serious.”
“He’s…” What is Kevin? Not any better at telling Riko ‘no’ than Jean is, and, subsequently, probably not great at lying to him. Also, is it really believable that Kevin would jeopardize the team and their athletic careers by shitting where he eats? Probably not. Kevin’s amended hierarchy of needs just has the word EXY at the base. Somewhere far above that are pedestrian concerns like ‘food’ and ‘water’ and ‘shelter.’
“Taller,” Neil finishes lamely. “He’s taller.”

Summary
“Okay,” Aaron said slowly, after a minute’s deliberation. “What if we invited Lord Josten here, for a visit. If he and Andrew are a good match, we can just let the Courting season run its course.”
Katelyn shrugged, thinking of all the men who had tried and failed to Court Andrew in previous years, citing his surly temper and bored expressions as intolerable. “I think that is only fair. Uncle Stuart says Neil has a temper and can lack manners at times, so who knows? Perhaps he and Andrew are a perfect match.”
