    Summary

    Andrew does not look at him. He turns around in a quick jerk of a motion, and pushes Kevin towards the bus. The other man is still as pale and trembling as he had been during Kathy's interview. He lets Andrew herd him like a sheep lost from the flock.
    "You looked after me and Aaron," Andrew says and the acknowledgement of all these years is enough to make Nicky speechless. "Now I need you to look after him."

    There is no 'please', no 'can you do this for me?'. nothing that remotely marks this as a question and not an order, but that is exactly what this is. Andrew Minyard is not a man who asks for anything, but he's asking for this.

    He's asking for help.

    Nicky turns and jogs to Neil's side, he has never been the type to tell him no.

     

    or: five times Nicky Hemmick takes care of Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten + one time he doesn't have to

    Summary

    The one where Andrew makes a perfectly reasonable request and Neil takes it too far like the dumbass he is.

    Or, relationships are complicated and communication is hard. They don't always nail it.

     

    So, Andrew has hit his limit. Neil’s charged silence next to him is so loud that Andrew can’t read over the buzz of it in his ears.

     

    “Get out,” he says, turning to glare at Neil.

     

    Neil blinks at him.

     

    “Whatever stupid thing you’re obsessing over. It’s irritating. I don’t have time to solve your problems for you. Handle it. I have to study.”

     

    Instantly, he realizes it was a mistake. He watches Neil’s face and body shutter up, closing tight like he’s locking down for a hurricane. It took so fucking long to get Neil to open up in the first place. Andrew had to peel him open one truth at a time. Fuck.

    Summary

    Duke Ben-something-or-other clears his throat and looks Merlin up and down. “Apologies, my lord, I have not introduced myself. I am Duke Benedict Earl James the Fourteenth." He stands and bows.

    “And I’m Merlin.” Merlin scratches his armpit.

    Arthur rolls his eyes. “He means your title, idiot.”

    “Oh. I’m the Court Jester.”
