    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

    Summary

    "Fuck, Andrew, what’s going on? This... This is real? Am I going crazy?"

    "Neil," Andrew said, his voice low but firm, "this is real. I don’t know how or why, but I’m here with you. So, stop freaking out, okay?" He pulled Neil until their foreheads touched. "I need you to listen carefully," he began, waiting for Neil to nod before continuing. "I’ll go with the coach and Kevin to Palmetto, but I’ll come back as soon as possible to find you. We need to get these drugs out of my system. And meanwhile, you’ll grab your fucking bag and rent a decent hotel room to rest until your classes are over. You won’t run, and you’ll buy a damn phone. Got it, bunny?"

    "Got it," Neil whispered, trying to absorb Andrew’s firmness; trying to believe in that absurd and ridiculous possibility. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath, letting the feeling of Andrew’s touch anchor him in reality. "I trust you. I’ll do what you said."

    -- AU --

    After almost a decade together, Neil and Andrew travel back in time to Neil's first year at Palmetto. Now, they must relive demons from the past. But at least they still have each other.

    Summary

    One year after he should have started at Palmetto, after he should have accepted Wymack’s offer and continued playing exy, Neil Josten instead finds himself working at a roadside gas station seventy miles outside Columbia. This Neil, never met Wymack or Kevin or Andrew after the dingos practice. This Neil never even made it to March in Millport, and now in the fall of 2007 he’s seriously starting to question how he’s going to live out the rest of his life.

    When a certain blonde buying absurd amounts of candy begins to frequent the gas station, Neil wonders if he might have an answer to that question.

    “You play?” The man nodded at the TV.

    “No sir.” Neil would give anything for him to leave. He pushed the bag of drinks a little further across the counter, eyes flitting to the TV again.

    “Ah, but you want to, huh? You look like you wanna climb inside that TV and join em.”

    Neil blinked at the man, unable to form a proper answer. Did he really look so desperate?

    “I don’t know.” It was a stupid answer, and it took him too long to get the words out, but it wasn’t like this conversation mattered much anyway. “I think I’m just not meant to.”

    Summary

    They were short on time, Abram had been sick for too long, Mary had no other choice. Or maybe that's just what the twisted mother wanted to tell herself to sooth her motherly instinct-if she had any- as she abandoned her 10 year old son only 2 years after saving him and herself from his fate and that house.
    After an anonymous call, the CPS took Neil into the foster-care system, placing him home after home until he finally met Cass Spear. A lady who perfectly embodied the average curly blonde, middle-aged woman look with an overly sweet personality that made every and any child she met feel safe.
    Though her candy-like personality was loved by many children before him, Neil felt as though he had a constant toothache any time he got too comfortable.

    On the other-hand, the Spears-after Andrew's outburst, arrest and return to his maternal family, the Minyards-they decided to foster another child, one who proved to be completely mute.

    His name?
    Neil Abram Doe.
