Summary
"Andrew is used to long, assessing stares from those who want to fix him. Most people express concern for him only because they don’t want to deal with the mess he might make of himself. But Neil’s look is different. Neil is looking at him like Andrew is something he’s afraid to lose.
It would be impossible to comprehend, except the look in his eyes is familiar- the mirror image of what Andrew felt back in the spring, when Neil slipped through Andrew’s grasp like smoke. Back then, Andrew couldn’t express what he felt with words or soft kisses or tender eyes. It looked like his fingers wrapped around Kevin’s throat, his hand clasped on the back of Neil’s neck, plastic bags clumsily taped around his limbs. But now, in Neil’s eyes, he recognizes the same repetitive heartbeat underneath it all. Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go."
The fall after the conclusion of the series, Andrew hits a wall. He and Neil (with an assist from Bee) work through it together.
