Work Text:

2.8 years after Suit 

 

 

I love my hometown as much as Motown, I love SoCal. And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey.  

 

 

PopCrave Reports: Beloved pop star, Neil Josten, has been spotted with notorious serial dater, Harris Dealy of The 1989 band. Dealy has been known to stir up controversies at his concerts, appearing drunk on stage, kissing fans, security guards, and even appearing on controversial podcasts. Josten, while having a tumultuous childhood, has mostly settled down into a happy and drama free lifestyle.  

Josten, who we all believed to be in a committed relationship with Oscar winning actor, Andrew Minyard, seemed in good spirits. Photos of him laughing with Dealy were shared by the Daily Mail and US Weekly. Dealy and Josten have both declined comments and Minyard is nowhere to be seen. 

The actor has not been seen at the last of Josten’s charity events or even around their West Village apartment, which suffered from a break-in five months ago. With Josten’s newest album about to drop, you would think that his almost three-year beau would be around…

 

 

You stepping out on me, Josten? 

 

bb nvr

 

You’re a Grammy winning songwriter. Use real words. 

 

Dealy has been wanting to clean up his image. Something about a girl and a long term secret relationship idk I didn’t listen but Allison set up some time to hang out so he would look better and clean up his public image. Did you know that the public loves me? 

 

Someone has to. 

 

Like you? 

 

How’s London? I miss your smile

 

 

But something happened, I heard him laughing. I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent. They say home is where the heart is, but that's not where mine lives.

 

 

US Weekly Reports : Andrew Minyard has finally been spotted walking into a flat in London with fellow actor, Thomas Smith. Smith was recently cast in the title role of Benedick in an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Minyard himself has also been cast in a role that has not been released yet. His agent, David Wymack, refused to comment. 

When Minyard isn’t filming, he has been spotted all over London, seemingly becoming quite at home in the foreign country. In fact, one could say he sees no hurry in filming his scenes to return home to his long time boyfriend, Grammy winning singer songwriter, Neil Josten. Is there trouble brewing for America’s favorite couple? Could Andrew be looking to settle down as far away from Josten as possible? 

In the past, Josten and Minyard often travel together, seemingly attached at the hip. Is there trouble brewing in paradise? Could the couple finally be splitting up? Minyard has been spotted out at several pubs with Smith and other cast mates looking very cheery, even for him. Sources will have to confirm whether or not he and Josten are on the outs.   

 

who is this thomas smith and do I have to fight him >:( 

 

Never use emoticons again. 

 

you say such nice things <3 

 

how’s filming going otherwise? 

 

Good. Tom is easy to act with. He and his wife have three cats. Most of the cast is tolerable. Renee is doing well leading the makeup team. 

 

wow. so youre having a great time 

 

I think I like London.

 

are you a london boy now? 

 

Shut up. 

 

 

You know I love a London boy. I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon. He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you. Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates. So I guess all the rumors are true. 

 

 

The Sun Reports : Andrew Minyard, Oscar Winning Actor, spotted out and about enjoying the rare London sun with longtime collaborator and friend, Renee Walker. Walker, a Hollywood makeup artist, is working as the head of the makeup department for Much Ado About Nothing, which Minyard is starring in and shooting currently. 

Minyard and Walker were spotted at Camden Market early in the afternoon ducking in and out of stalls. After being approached by a few fans, according to our sources, Minyard begrudgingly signed a few napkins and took a few selfies. His security team then asked for some space as he and Walker were doing some shopping for loved ones back home. 

Hanging out of Minyard’s bag was an expensive blue scarf that seemed to match the eyes of one famous beloved pop star back home in the States. Could it be that Josten and Minyard are still together? Or is Minyard trying to stave off the pain of the breakup by buying mementos that remind him of the past? Both parties have refused to comment. 

Walker waved to our photographer and called out to us saying that she had found a delicious blend of tea here and that she appreciated us giving them some space. Let it be known that Ms. Walker is more than welcome anytime back in London. Minyard only gave us a rather rude gesture. 

 

you bought me a scarf??? <33333 

 

No. 

 

Stay off the fucking internet. 

 

 

And now I love high tea, stories from uni, and the West End. You can find me in the pub, we are watching rugby with his new friends. Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride. Babe, don't threaten me with a good time. 

 

 

what are your plans for tonight? 

 

Tom found a new pub for us to try out. Renee is tagging along with a few of the makeup artists. Apparently there’s a rugby game on that everyone wants to watch. 

 

are you into rugby now? do you like sports? youre changing so much while we’re apart :( 

 

I don’t like rugby. But even I can appreciate muscular men running around in short shorts. 

 

is that a hint? 

 

You’re too dumb for hints. I already bought you some shorts and they should arrive soon. 

 

oh my god 

 

Send pics 

 

will do. 

 

I wish you were here to see them in person

 

I wish you were here. I like London. 

 

that’s twice you’ve said you like London now. you must really be enjoying it

 

I like the rainy and gray skies. I’ve always liked rain. I like that it’s not too blistering hot right now. There’s a lot of people, like New York, but they ignore me here even more. I like the cab rides. Everything is old and has history or is new and interesting. 

 

I love hearing what you like about it. want to facetime? I have a few hours before I have to get ready

 

Calling now

 

— 

 

You know I love a London boy. I enjoy nights in Brixton, Shoreditch in the afternoon. He likes my American smile, like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you. You know I love a London boy. Boy, I fancy you

 

 

TMZ Reports : Oscar winning actor, Andrew Minyard, seen leaving exclusive nightclub, The Brixton Palace, with fellow cast member Thomas Smith, and his wife. Minyard and Smith seem to be getting quite cozy over these past few weeks. Could Smith be helping Minyard look at real estate in London? Smith’s wife, Amy Smith , is a luxury real estate agent and was seen scouting out a few locations this week with Minyard. All signs point to trouble in paradise for Josten and Minyard. 

The Brixton Palace is known as the most exclusive LGBTQ+ friendly nightclub in all of London and has been known to host celebrities parties. Smith and Minyard have been seen leaving many clubs as of late, with a few of the other cast members. Could Minyard be looking for a new flame? Neil Josten, Minyard’s long term boyfriend, has been back home in the States beginning the press tour for his upcoming album, Lover. Could the strain be too much for their relationship? Both parties have declined to comment. 

 

How were the apartments? 

 

Why are you texting me? It’s 3am in New York. 

 

Couldn’t sleep tell me about the apartments 

 

The first one was alright. Not as much natural light as Sir and King would like. The kitchen was nice though. 

 

Sir and King really do care about natural light 

 

Of course they do. They have good taste. Unlike you

 

The second one had a good rooftop patio that was covered with a nice view of the neighborhood park. But the kitchen was smaller than the one in New York and there wasn’t a great spot for a music room 

 

I can write music anywhere drew don’t worry about that 

 

The third was in a secluded neighborhood with good restaurants, but it only had two bedrooms. So, we really couldn’t have a lot of guests. 

 

So is that one your favorite then 

 

Shut up. 

 

Amy is taking me to a few more places today. I’ll keep you updated and send more photos. 

 

Or maybe I could come with you? 

 

What? 

 

Come downstairs <3

 

 

So please show me Hackney. Doesn't have to be Louis V up on Bond Street. Just wanna be with you. Wanna be with you. Stick with me, I'm your king, like a NYC Paul McCartney. Just wanna be with you, wanna be with you. 

 

 

People Reports : Spotted in London, Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard walking hand in hand viewing apartments in various neighborhoods. The couple seemed in high spirits as they toured three different apartments throughout London. Many of the neighborhoods are home to other famous celebrities and socialites. It looks like Minyard and Josten are looking to add to their real estate portfolio. 

 

Josten and Minyard were downright shoving their PDA in our faces as they held hands and snuck kisses all day. Notorious for keeping their relationship private, aside from Josten’s music, the couple looked like they could not keep their eyes, or hands, off of each other. Our favorite lovebirds seem to be fully in the throes of love. 

 

Josten must be making a short trip since he is due to start promoting his next album, Lover, in the next upcoming weeks. One could assume that Minyard was feeling lonely and Josten rushed to his side. Either way, we never doubted them for a second!
