How cute would it be if Andrew notices Neil getting all blushy and flustered when Andrew blocks impossible shots and just goes above and beyond as a goalie.

So he actually starts doing it on purpose when Neil's around just to get that reaction (and ego stroke and Neil pampering him after as a reward for being the best goalie ever, he pampers Andrew anyway but Andrew being great at Exy gets some favourable reactions from him and Andrew likes that). Everyone's thrilled cause Andrew is not only trying but actually playing at an insane level (even if it's just to make his boyfriend swoon).

The downside is if Neil has to miss practice, Andrew practically sits in the goal and sulks uncaring.

At one point Andrew actually broke Exy records during a game. He will probably enter the exy hall of fame for how he defended the goal that night.

Why?

Cause a few weeks before the game Kevin showed them highlights from the other team and Neil went on and on about how amazing their goalie was, he meant nothing by it other than one player showing respect for another players game.

And Andrew said nothing but went very still. Then that night humiliated the whole team, but especially that asshat goalie who can't hold a candle to him. Mission accomplished Neil barely remembered the other dudes name too busy fawning and fanboying over the way Andrew played.

Kevin is conflicted cause yes Andrew is trying but as Kevin's best friend can Andrew not turn his moms sport into a werid sex thing with Neil?

For the record, Neil will do as he's told by others because compliance gets him what he wants. His obedience is fueled solely by ulterior motive.

But Neil will do as he's told by Andrew because Andrew Said So. His obedience is fueled by trust and pretty eyes.

Not my edit but this is pure comedy

I said this in another post, but it bears repeating:

Neil is to crime what Andrew is to Exy. Supernaturally talented and unstoppable if he wanted, but due to his general lack of interest nerfs himself.

Everyone should be grateful Neil finds crime boring and uninteresting compared to Exy cause he would have been the Kevin Day of crime, surpassing his father and mother. Nora confirmed in the EC that if the Moriyamas had messed with Andrew, Neil would have carefully and competently dismantled their empire and watched all of them burn. He was practically lab created and stress tested his whole life to fight, outlive, and outsmart criminal masterminds.

My headcannon is Ichirou is secretly relieved that Nathaniel just wants to play stick ball.

Neil was struggling to breathe after a particularly hard check from the other team’s backliner. In his haste to get his neck guard off he forgot to make sure his necklace stayed hidden. Well, it was less of a necklace and more of an efficiency thing— a way for him to actually wear the ring Andrew bought him when they got married. The camera for the Jumbotron had started following him the same time as the backliner and was still on him when his ring was exposed to everyone.

Press duty after the game was what everyone expected from Neil Josten being in front of cameras— absolutely anarchy. There were so many questions about him being married and who his wife was, he just had to correct them.

“My Husband and I actually prefer to keep our private lives private, you know. I understand it’s such a wild concept to you vultures that not everything is just a grab for the next big news story, but just let us keep a little of our peace.” Neil walked right out of the room after that, tired after all the inane questioning and not willing to put up with anymore.

For the next couple months Neil was bombarded with questions about his husband. Most went ignored but every once in a while if someone asked how the husband was Neil would be inclined to answer them.

Neil thought nothing of this habit until press after his game against Andrew’s team. The only reason he didn’t think of it prior to the game was because all rational thought was overshadowed by his excitement to see Andrew in person again.

“So, Neil, how's your husband? Did he enjoy the game?” One of the most tolerable reporters asked at the end of the meeting.

Neil smiled to himself— and a little at Andrew— before saying “oh he’s great. Always has a ton of fun at games as well.”

Everyone was so focused on Neil that no one noticed Andrew leaning towards his mic until he spoke, “now that is an absolute lie. I never have fun at these things.”

With that the two looked at each other, Neil grinning like a fool and Andrew slightly amused, and together they decided to stand up and walk out of the mess they just made.

The hc that Neil finds Aaron absolutely hideous and Andrew the most beautiful creature in the universe despite them being identical will never not be funny to me.

At me all you want but Andrew loves to read and Neil realizes that there weren’t any books that represented Andrew when he went to try to understand why Andrew liked to read

So what did Neil do? Ill tell you what he did

He wrote a book 150k words about a boy just like Andrew and gifted it to Andrew

Andrew? Loves it Carrie’s it around with him everywhere can’t stop reading it the whole nine yards.

Neil refuses to publish it because it was FOR Andrew only

Andrew even had Neil sign it

Fuckkkkkk im a simp

Might just write something like this

bitches be like "this is my comfort character", but then they're talking about a character who's never had comfort in their life

[andrew-isnt-for-the-game03]

I do believe this-

Neil is sweaty and hot after practice, and he’s exhausted but like he’s not. So he’s just standing around with the team, and decides to strip from his uniform to let the wind hit him probably. So he removes his head gear which leaves his damp long hair down. Trips all the other layers leaving him in sweats and a tank top.

He runs his hand through his hair, bending his head back a little because the wind feels so nice. Neils not thinking anything about this

The others? Yeah they’re noticing how hot this man is. His hair stuck back to how he ran his fingers through it

His biceps flexing while his hand is in his hair. His veins in his neck are popping out. His body is glistening in the sun.

Nicky: drops to the floor gasping for air

Matt: *dies*

Andrew: gulps 105% mouthy

Neil will lower his head, open his bright blue eyes, and tilt his head at Andrew confused.

Neil: what did you say?

Andrews throat goes dry because how can this man not know what he’s doing????
