Summary
Andrew knew what he could handle. The sounds, lights, scents; he knew what he was walking into when he went to that party. So what he was overwhelmed?
But, as always, Neil threw him a curveball. He pressed whether or not Andrew was okay, and didn't understand what Andrew meant when he said it didn't matter.
Even worse, Neil smelled like other people.

Summary
Neil Josten has recently moved in with his two boyfriends, exy celebrities Andrew Minyard and Kevin Day, and things are...fine. They're great. Perfect actually. Except for the fact that Neil doesn't feel like he belongs - in his boyfriend's penthouse suite OR their relationship. Whereas Andrew and Kevin are perfect, he just...isn't.
Maybe it's the way Andrew and Kevin literally picked him up off the street and swept him into the comforts of their world. Maybe it's the large, looming secret that hangs over his head, shadowing his every move. Maybe it's because he can't even stand to look at himself in the mirror, so why would anyone else?
Or maybe it's because he knows he's nothing...and he's just waiting for them to figure it out too.

Summary
Neil is Demi, but Andrew is Gay. It's a distinction Neil's never really paid attention to before, barely thought twice about at least in regards to himself. But after an incident at Eden's, and a specific comment from Andrew, Neil starts wondering if there are several things he hasn't noticed. It leads him on a downward spiral of self-doubt, depression, and his usual martyr-like tendencies that can only have one conclusion. He loves Andrew so he wants him to be happy- even if it's with someone else. So he'll let him go...but only if he asks.

Summary
Neil swallows back blood. “Andrew.”
“Abram,” Andrew returns.
“I’m losing my mind. I think I’m losing my mind.”
“You aren’t,” Andrew says, so easy, so certain. “You’re tired. You’re scared. That’s it.”
Neil grits his teeth. “I’m,” he exhales shakily. “I’m – seeing things,” he admits.
