Summary
“Well, how does he know you love him?”
Neil scoffed. Love was such a trivial word. Meant for greeting cards and hallmark movies. A platitude to round out an apology, or to spice up a declarative speech. It was nothing. His and Andrew's relationship was beyond such trivial and mundane classifications such as love or no love, but on some level, Neil knew it was also not inaccurate. He wouldn't admit that though, how embarrassing.
“It’s Andrew, Matt. He just- he just knows.”AKA I was listening to the enchanted soundtrack and got brainrot over neil trying to woo andrew with "that's how you know" type shenanigans

Summary
Neils eyes were locked onto the screen. He was fully captured by the sights and sounds. He put a few pieces of popcorn in his mouth absentmindedly, not tearing his eyes away from the screen in front of him. He leaned forward, pulling on the blanket draped across them both, taking in the scene change with rapturous attention.
AKA the one where the foxes watch Zootopia and Neil really likes it

Summary
It had never been on purpose that his and Neil's relationship was a secret. It's not his fault that Aaron was as dense as a brick wall. His brother was gifted in many things, mainly in maintaining an unrivaled level of stupidity. It had been three months on the dot, and Aaron remained completely oblivious. If it wasn't so goddamn annoying Andrew would find it funny.
AKA the one where Andrew tells Aaron about his and Neil's relationship

Summary
It never really helped, he thought. It calmed him down for an hour, a day maybe. But it was addicting. The rush, the crash, the wind-up. Everything about it was intoxicating.
Andrew was fucked up, he knew that. For once in his life, he finally had things to hold onto and yet, still, he was tearing himself to shreds to be able to make it through the day. Like he was a fucking teenager again. Shouldn't he have grown out of this by now?

Andrew relapses. Neil finds him and helps him put his pieces back together.

Summary
“Wanna practice kissing again?” Charlie whispered, warm breath infused with Moscato and sweet berries tickling Nick’s ear.
Nick’s eyes, dazed like peering through a veil of melted honey, widened.
“I–” Nick breathed, gripping the cup in his hand with so much force he thought the plastic might crack. “Yes.”
“Yeah?” Charlie asked, batting thick, dark lashes up at Nick’s flustered expression. “You don’t have to say yes, you know.”
“I can’t imagine ever saying no to you."
or, the one where nick has his first date with a boy and is nervous about what comes afterwards. charlie, his best friend, offers to help.
