Summary
Neil only smoked when the situation demanded it. It was more so the means to an end, a way of connecting with himself, or connecting with others. Running, smoking, he’d used them interchangeably. The only difference being now when he ran, he always returned. And now when he smoked, it was always with Andrew.

Summary
“You’ve been in the hospital for the last three days,” Andrew tells him tonelessly. He sounds unflappable once more; the minute tightening of his fingers on Neil’s nape is the one thing that betrays him. “They only let me in to see you today, and that was because Coach wouldn’t stop arguing with the doctors and they finally got sick of listening to him.”
“Three days?!” Neil yelps, and Andrew pulls back from him to glare, though he keeps his hand clasped at Neil’s nape. Now that he’s looking properly, he can see the dark bags under Andrew’s eyes, the tufts of hair sticking up that speak more to hands tugging through it than sleep, the rumpled state of the clothes Andrew had packed for after—“Wait, the game!”
“I will smother you here and now,” Andrew threatens.

Summary
“I’m not dating anyone,” Neil says. “Andrew and I are just friends.”
“Friends that hold hands and go on dates and make lovey dovey faces at each other in public?” Allison deadpans.
"We're not dating," he insists again. He feels himself deflate in Allison’s embrace and her eyes fall at his expression.
“Trust me,” Neil says quieter. “Because you have no idea how badly I wish we were.”
Or, an extremely ooc andreil high school au! ft. a lot of pining, absolutely no mentions of trauma, and two very oblivious idiots.

Summary
Wymack’s voice trails off, words stuttering to an abrupt stop. All heads turn, slowly following the path of Wymack’s gaze.
Andrew spots him almost immediately - hair as black as night, curls gentle and full atop his head. He’s got a bruise the size of a baseball around his eye, freckles spattered out around it like an explosion of stardust. His eyes are the colour of the sky, cresting with storm clouds.
His hands are in his pockets as he walks by, fisted around something. He doesn’t look at any of them as he passes, eyes downcast.
Andrew’s never seen him before.
“What the hell happened to your face, Neil?” Wymack shouts, voice startling in the aftermath of silence. Neil doesn’t stop, plundering by the team and their coach without a second-glance.
__
In which Wymack adopts Neil at the age of 13, after the world has already chewed him up and spit him back out a few times over.
The Foxes are still the Foxes, and Neil and Andrew are still destined to find each other.
