    Summary

    “It was too much.” Andrew says, and Neil doesn’t understand what he’s talking about.

    “We don’t have to do it again. You know I don’t care what we do or even if we do anything at all. You don’t have to do anything you aren’t comfortable doing.” Neil says, assuming that the fact that it was more than usual was bothering Andrew.

    “No, idiot.” Andrew says, finally looking over at Neil, an unreadable, new expression on his face. “You. It was too much for you.” Andrew finally says, and Neil’s eyebrows shoot up at that statement.

    Neil has no idea what he likes sex-wise and figures something out about himself. Andrew thinks he went too far, and they decide to figure out what Neil likes together.

    Summary

    None of this was new to them yet, but it still felt momentous because this was a Neil who was his, who’d let him claim him in front of his family and his teammates, who’d been wearing his clothes and his marks for months on end now and who was delighted at the thought of Andrew wanting a future with him permanently, semantically synonymous with forever, a much too scary word for now, but maybe not in the future.
    Future.
    Andrew’d never thought he could have something like that, hadn’t really planned to make it past thirteen and now here he was, he was an adult, he was safe, he was in his own bed in his own home with a man who would quite literally die for him, who he was planning a future with. He’d never planned for this, had nowhere to store it in his mind, in his body, so he put it into Neil instead.

    Summary

    It doesn't take long for Neil to join him on the roof, his face lighting up when he sees him. Neil settles next to him, close enough that Andrew can feel his body heat without touching. Neil's wearing the hoodie he pilfered from Andrew's closet a few months ago; he feels his eyes catch on it a little too long. He forces his eyes away, but he leans closer until their shoulders brush. Neil takes it for the invitation it is, leaning most of his weight into Andrew's side.

    "So, what is this?" He pulls the dog clicker from his pocket, still in its plastic packaging. 

    Andrew's hand ghosts over Neil's covered hip, fiddling with the waistband of his egregious shorts. "Don't ask questions with obvious answers," he retorts. 

    He slips his hand beneath fabric to reach bare skin, grounding himself with the familiar raised skin. "I want to-" The words get stuck in his throat. 

    Aggravated with himself, Andrew squeezes Neil's hip hard enough to hurt, but Neil only blinks slowly at him, not a hint of expectation on his face. "I would like to be louder. With you," Andrew forces out spitefully.

    "Oh," Neil says surprised, "Like when we-?" 

    "When we fuck," Andrew says shortly.
